All-Star Purgatory

I ended last season on 4 straight server errors so my finishing ranking wasn’t high enough to start at 700. Needless to say, I have been in a fight for my life to get over 700 and out of All-Star. I looked at my stats for the current season and it’s remarkable.

25 games
158 total hits given up
54 of those are homers
91 total runs

1/3 of all hits are homers against me. This isn’t anything entirely new for all-star but I’ve been on a run of some terrible luck lately. Giving up about 6 hits a game only to have 3 of them leave the yard cas been frustrating to say the least. Been on the wrong end of the RNG this week for sure . Bouncing between 650 and 700 is gonna be the end of me.

Another game... 4 hits given up, 3 for homers lol. I don’t get it

It’s horrible below 700 - I got caught here last season , and once I got out I went like 14-3 to end just short of ws. The competition is harder below 700 because the difficulty settings , pitch speeds and giant pci erase the skill differential

You can’t pitch effectively , people just sit on off or heat,you simply have to outscore everygame there is no out pitching. And with the game grooving so many pitches even directional hitters can kill you

That's only just over 2+ HR's a game. Guarantee I am at like 4 per game this season. Why I changed my name to Serv'n Taters. Every pitch is down the middle of the plate. Threw 2 pitches yesterday on 0-2 counts and break should have put them 2 feet out of the zone. Good input and both over the plate for HR's.

I would have usually played 4-5 games so far today but don't feel like throwing bp. Watching Homeland instead. May try a few games later.

It doesn’t matter where you end up rating wise. If you made it to a rank that would start you at 700, you would’ve started at 700.

For example, if you make CS (800+) you will start the next season at 700 even if you lose a bunch of games and tank into the 500s. All that matters is that you hit 800 at some point.

Not sure what is happening but for the HOF event I was easily turning on some 100 mph fastballs. Played RS all star a lot yesterday and was getting 97 blown by me.

I’m convinced it changes , come games in 600 ranked it’s like rookie hr fest pitch speeds are slow, other games it’s like legend

@D_e_m_I_s_E idk bout you but I’m in no hurry to chase CS & WS until the game is properly patched. I’d rather have a better W/L then be 80-72 entering CS. The lesser the games played the merrier

Just curious. Why do you care about W-L so much? Fighting for a top 50 spot?

Especially knowing losses are coming from things out of your control. Just relax and play the game. Your opponent is dealing with the same BS.

@genopolanco i’d rather hit the next rank in the least amount of games possible. Plus I’m old school and like to see a .65-.75% W ratio

IMO looks better then .50-.55 WL sitting at 120 or more games in 2nd season

Wish they would just make HOF the universal setting. This game doesn’t play right on all star.

Play some Games on Allstar against CPU and than play some Games on Allstar Online... The Difference in Pitch Speeds is incredible... Sometimes 93mph Fastballs get blown by me and next pitches im early on 99 mph...
Online Gameplay just doesnt seem right and im trying to stay away from it for that reason.
If i would knew how to upload a video or screenshot i would show you what just happened earlier to me.

Trout hit a Chopper to 2B and gets thrown out to a 1B standing about 10 Feet away from First Base...

I’ve basically been going into the event to practice for all star. I hit well oh HOF but then face kopeck on all star an I can’t touch his fastball for 3 or 4 innings. Hell the top players are barely putting out content because of how broke the game is

I’ve never been an online player. Trying it out on RS. The pitching is complete [censored]. I’m using 99 Kluber too. I use meter pitching. Is analog any better?

This is false

They aren’t the same game. RS is something entirely different than any other game mode this year. The levels don’t correlate at all to other modes, IMO

I’m in the same boat man. I’ve lost my last 7/9 and dipped at one point down to 560. Sad thing is I’ve outhit my opponents every game except one I think. I’ve lost 4/7 on walk offs. The lowest scoring game I think was 7-6 and the highest scoring was 16-13 (that one I won). But it’s bizarre everything flies out of the park. I actually made it to rank 738 this season but ended up getting matched up against someone on all star and lost I was immediately sent back down to wild card because I lost over 40 points. The last game I played I outhit my opponent 17 hits to 11. I lost after a walkoff homerun in the 10th.

Lol no it’s not.

Check out this video from the best player in the world , who puts up like 40 runs on legend. He states that all star is harder than legend. I totally agree...... this game does NOT play right on all star, the timing windows are whack
