In RS it's pathetic. But in BR anything goes! And in events I'd probably do it if I was grinding it and thought it had a good chance of working. Time saved is a precious commodity sometimes!
I also have no issue with people doin it to me for the same reasons.

However, the people that take the extra lead every pitch, the people that call time at the plate in EVERY 2 strike count (Yes, I experienced this very recently!), the practice swingers of years gone by, the bunt dancers, the habitual HR replayers, the ones that try to make u think a can of corn is a HR by sprinting towards the wall, and finally, the people who take the near maximum time between every pitch in a FUTILE attempt to fool the batter into thinking a PHAT one is coming right down the pipe via auto-pitch, did I cover everyone? Well........

They can all choke on a BBC!

Happy Holidays everyone.

You forgot the people that do not hit X in between batters and plays but instead watch the entire batter walk up animation.... press the button people!!

I consider myself an avg to above avg player. Last year I could make it to Championship get close to world series but have never made it there. I enjoy collecting all the cards that become available. Last year I was able to get the cards by racking up the wins. Yes, to SDS' point, quit a game early if I knew I was going to lose, but full games are only valuable to content creators not most players. And I only have so much time to play, need to maximize my time if I want to get all the cards and play all the modes.

With this year's change, no way I get to world series. Not even by "just playing the games" 400 innings is basically 44 games. That means between 35-40 hours of gameplay per season. If I commit to that I won't have time to do BR, events and so on. I rather do the other modes and still have the competition aspect in events and BR.

SDS- anyway you can tweak this? Maybe a combination of XP and innings? Or getting to certain levels (division series, championship) "buys" you a number of progress requiring less innings or XP to reach WS? Otherwise, someone like myself just don't see the point of playing ranked when I'm trying to get as many cards as possible.

I was playing Events. Game goes into extras. Opponent requested friendly quit. I decline. Win the game on the 5th inning with a walk off hit. But when I went back to the main menu the game and stats did not count.

This is the 2nd time that it happens. Playing events, player dashboards and the win didn’t count... please fix it!!!

The notion that anyone can make WS by just putting the time and focusing is just wrong. If you play on a TV screen, zero chance you get there the speeds are way too fast. And let's be honest, not everyone has the right skill. Not being a [censored], just truth.

Another item people tend to forget, my comment regarding not wanting to play 400 innings in one mode is that I just don't have the time if I still want to play other modes like events and BR which are fun. Don't forget about showdowns, conquest maps that help you get the program rewards. I don't have 2+ hours each day. But I'm sure others do, just posting why there is no point playing Ranked for myself
