After I made world series a couple months ago I stopped playing ranked for a while so I went down to all-star difficulty. I just played my first game on hall of fame since they updated the pci movement and WOW. That was the most painfully boring experience of my life. Literally both pitchers had perfect games through 9 innings before I got disconnected. It's impossible to get good pci placement cause it moves so much. I will do everything in my power to never play another game above all star if this is how the game plays at hall of Fame and up.

translation: I took time off for a while, and forgot how hard it is to get use to something challenging again, rather then saying I couldnt hit, i blamed the PCI update. It takes a while to use to HOF again, I had that same philosophy of not playing on anything above all star a month ago, but after a while it came back again. Some games on HOF are like that. Pitching is just really good this year. I wouldnt give up on HOF if I were you.

I played a bunch of games on HOF and some on legend before the update, and could hit decently. Not one of them felt like this one. I don't play a lot of ranked and there's a million things I'd rather do than try and get good at hitting with a slip-n-slide pci while every game goes into extras tied 0-0. What a boring experience.

I mean, isnt HOF/Legend suppose to be hard? You took a break, sometimes taking a break you lose a step. Plus the player pool later in the year is usaully people who know what they are doing, so games can be harder.

Yes but it shouldn't be "both pitchers throw perfect games" hard. Plus the update in which they unintentionally made hitting harder. Pitching is just way too OP this year imo. They need to make pitching harder as the difficulty goes up too, not just hitting

I get it, The tough thing is, the top players walk through HOF, so if they made HOF any easier it would be a massive complain fest from the top part of the community. Which are the ones that complain the absolute most about people having fun.

what's your rank record?

like 275-199, ALthough a lot of my losses have came from me tanking during seasons, I use to just try and make WS, but after the past couple seasons, i want both rewars, so i'd tank to bump up my win count, and hit 30 wins, then make WS.

For what it’s worth (idea time)

Let the player chose their difficulty during ranked seasons before the game. (Even on rookie if you want. Why not?) But you can change difficulty if you want at anytime. For example a streamer may be able to get 40 wins/top 20 in ALL the below.

You then climb the leaderboards in that difficulty only.

The rewards are worse though.

For example if you play on Rookie;

40 wins means 90 or under overall
40 wins on Vet gives you a max 95
40 wins on AS same as now
40 wins on HoF gets you 2 picks
40 wins on Legend gets you all of the players (I think that’s fair!)

Or you make the top 20 of the said difficulty division (same as making WS now!)

I think people would much prefer this. I shouldn’t have to keep losing games because I don’t want to play on a higher difficulty.

Oh. And the players stats only count for the difficulty you’re playing in.
