    All star difficulty has no place in ranked seasons. RS is supposed to be a competitive mode, not a cesspool of randomness. Its ridiculous how many hits come as a result of poor user input, and how many outs come as a result of good user input. If you wanna play on AS difficulty, it should be in a mode where winning doesn't effect your ranking/rewards.

    Sorry, but if you're not good at the game, you shouldn't be catered to. That's exactly what AS difficulty is, catering to those who either don't put the time in to get better or simply suck. I don't care if this comes off as elitist. You can have no skill at still win against far superior players on AS difficulty. That is the exact opposite of what ranked seasons in supposed to be.

    You realize that people arent good at this game and dont sweat and just play this game for fun.

    Then have a mode that is strictly for fun where you can play online against other people who just want to have fun. To me, competition is fun, and AS difficulty is not competitive.

    I've said in a previous comment that I understand AS will never be removed. However HOF should start at 600 as opposed to 700. Then you people who love AS so much can still play the mode and people like me who hate it won't have to play on AS

    I made world series last year, great, I bet you did too with stats that are "similar to the best" When your era is north of 4. Like when the season resets you start at 700, which is hof so you never play all-star when the season resets. If you don't have to deal with it, then why you bitching

    Not true at 700 you can play people in the 600s easily even if you don't let the bar move. Its frustrating to play All Star, way to much RNG

    Dude, you’re beating a dead horse. Nobody likes the random outcomes in All Star. Just beat the rest of us enough times to start in HOF like the rest of the “elite” players.

    If it’s so hard for you, I suggest you’re really not as good as you think you are. Higher end players can generally beat me fairly handily, so it’s obviously doable.

    Some of us don’t want to just spam high sinkers with Forrest Whitley.

    I do start in HOF, but like I said previously you can still end up facing people below 700 even if you’re at 700.

    I do just fine on AS. I grind through it when I need to. It’s just far more infuriating to play on from a competitive standpoint

    its Like this, those saying quit whining probably just play offline or think their the greatest thing since sliced cheese. Truth be told this game is a [censored] show and everyone that defends it should be kicked in their heads. When top players say it’s trash I take there opinion before most

    Some people need to quit whining or maybe just go play offline. This game is the greatest thing since sliced cheese.

    People on Twitch often say how it's the best game out there and I tend to take their opinions very seriously because they know their stuff!

    I do just fine on AS. I grind through it when I need to. It’s just far more infuriating to play on from a competitive standpoint

    So to sum this up:

    1. You start the season at HOF because you’re past 700
    2. You do fine on All Star
    3. You’re a slightly above average hitter and an average pitcher
    4. You don’t like it when you match up with sub-700 players because you have to play on All Star.
    5. You want all of ranked to be on HOF difficulty.

    Did I get that right?
    It sounds to me like you don’t like playing sweaty games against players that could knock you below 700.

    I’m not trying to be an a$$ but it really is a pretty self-centred point of view.

    When I am 750 I don’t want to play anyone in the 600’s one I do not get a lot of points for the win, two I don’t want to play on all star... I earned my way to be off that god forbidden home run derby fest, the game feels more natural on HOF

    I agree that it happens too much in this years game, but at the end of the day, it’s baseball dude, that happens in real life, it’s realistic. That’s why they measure BABIP, based on luck. Sometimes a guy squares a ball up and hits it right at someone and sometimes a guy barely gets a piece and hits a dribbler down the line for an infield single. Idk if I’m alone here, but that’s what makes baseball unique and awesome.

    Yeah all star is rough, every game is 16-15 or something crazy. I went on a really bad skid this ranked season and lost like 9/11 games on all star but finally made it back to the division series, and I’m a win away from CS.

    @halfbutt said in Remove All Star difficulty from Ranked Seasons:

    I’m not elite by any means, but I make WS every season so I’d say I’m above average. Doesn’t change my point that AS difficultly reduces the skill gap significantly. I’ve lost many games that i should have never lost but did because of the things I mentioned in the first paragraph

    I’m not debating your points. I’m just saying we are all in the same boat. I agree with the others. It makes more sense to just fix All Star, rather than to do away with it.

    Also, not to be that guy, but by your numbers this year, ERA 5.13 and WHIP 1.24 you are the definition of average. You’re obviously a better than average hitter at .310 so climbing through AS shouldn’t be that tough?

    I would love it if AS was fixed. Unfortunately I believe it’s designed to be that way.

    As far as my stats, go check out the top of the leaderboards in ranked and you’ll see my ERA is right on par with some of the top players. Not that it matters really, I’m just saying

    LOL that's not how it works. If those "top players" have inflated ERAs because they are playing other top players, you have the same ERA playing much lower competition. It's like trying to claim a 4.00 ERA in AA is the same as a 4.00 ERA in MLB.

    It really isn't, during the first ranked season I didn't loose until I played on hof. It's really not that hard. Idk why you all are bitching so much

    What they should do is once you hit 700 you only play on HOF and never play anyone in the 600's. The only way someone has to play on AS is if they are rated 699 or below.

    At least make it so that the HIGHER RANKED TEAM dictates the difficulty, rather than the lower ranked team.

    All-Star would be fine if we didn’t have the game trying to control what happens. Like mentioned earlier in this post the majority of players play at AS and they’ve clearly tuned the gameplay to play favorites at particular times so everyone feels like a winner. To me the problem would easily be fixed if the players themselves were in more control of the game than the simulation factor they’ve put in place to retain players.

    Based on the current season there are roughly 170,000 players on all star and about 10,000 on HoF. So it's more than 90%. If anything they should get rid of Hall of Fame. Though that would be equally absurd.

    I’m guessing there’s a lot of people that don’t enjoy 1-0 games with 50 strikeouts. Glad I’m not alone.

    There's a lot of people who don't like Mr. Belvedere either, you can't please everyone.

    Imagine living in a world where you don't like something that displays the talents of Mr. Baseball himself. Probably the same type of person who is like "Vegan cheese is real cheese!" when it's clearly not.

    Hey, you know I’m a pretty vegetarian kind of person and even I can’t stand vegan “cheese”.

    This is incorrect because nobody dislikes Mr. Belvedere.
