And yet you keep playing.

@TonyTheTiger2k16 said in Possible Solution To Prevent "Quit" Games in "RS":

I feel those who quit games, do so mostly when they feel out matched or when someone just had a really big early inning scoring 3-5 runs & now doesn't want to grind out the game trying to gain back the lead fearing they will continue being out scored by that other team. I know because I have quit many RS games for those same exact 2 reasons.

Oddly at times I have mixed emotions when someone quits on me. At times I feel like "Cool, easy win, easy RS rank points" & at times I get really pissed off because if that game was being played for a program mission objective to gain program points & the person quitting now nixes that mission & it has to be done all over, then that ticks me off.

I feel there is not enough penalty or penalization for those who quit other then the loss itself & getting an other "quit/disconnect" card. The player needs to see there is much more to lose & to be punished for by quitting games.

I feel I may have a solution to this that will prevent those from quitting as easy & as often as they do. Some out there will LOVE this idea & some will HATE this idea. But here it goes ..........

Lets say that RS game would give +50 to the winner & -50 to the loser. If the Loser played out the entire game to it's end, then the loser only gets -25. He only loses half the ranking points as a bonus for playing the entire game. But if he quits, he now gets a -150 which is 3x in negative then what the winner got. So quitting is now a ranking point value of like losing 3 games immediately back to back. Apart from that, quitting causes a 3 hour ban, meaning the system detects your last "quit" & blocks you from being matched in an RS Game for 3 hours.

ONLY THING THAT BYPASSES THIS "PENALTY" AN AGREED "FRIENDLY QUIT"

I feel this will prevent many from quitting so easily & as often as they do. Tell me what you guys think.

You confuse me. In one post you complain that you're getting matched up with players that are Elite, thus not giving you a chance to compete; thus giving you one of two options: Take a beating or quit.

Then in another post, you want to 'punish' people for quitting.

Calling it now. Rivera will be the reward for collecting all the LS players.

But if you live so far in the 'sticks', that you can hear banjos playing constantly, and your WiFi is so bad that the ball skips across the screen; you shouldnt be able to play thia game online.

Wow most entitled post I EVER read

Or an 'entitlement' post. But if it's takes you longer than 25 secs to throw a pitch; or the total an bat lasts longer rhan a few minutes; don't refuse the Friendly Quit and tgen apologize that you know your WiFi can only connect at under 200kbps.

Either dont play online or spend the extra cash and buy a Wi-Fi booster. No reason it should take 20 minutes to get through 2 innings of play.

@skbens18 said in Auto Shift and All Star difficulty:

First, I don’t think many want All Star removed completely from the game, they just want that difficulty removed from their options once you’ve made it to higher difficulties.

Second, shifts are absolutely used in MLB, however, they’re aren’t automatically enabled. The manager makes a decision on which shift they want implemented for whatever batter is up. I have no problems with shifts in gameplay, I do however have an issue with the default being automatic based on some arbitrary programming that the developers defined. Ranked season is a competitive mode, and as such, should require the player to use their own brain to decide how to compete against different players, not be given a crutch to level competition. In your scenario, it would be like the MLB telling the umpires to automatically place the fielders into a shift based on the MLBs stats and metrics.

Easiest way to regulate difficulty. If you're rated in the 400s, then you only play people in those guidelines. 400s play 400s. 500s play 500s, 600s play 600s, etc
