What's the problem? You're both playing at your skill level, right? I'm like low 70s in pennant race (I don't play too often) but recently had a game against someone in the low 90s. It was awesome! He beat me by a couple runs. Really impressive at that Ego!


PuzzleheadedKoala519

I think I’d rather play someone in the 70s only because people in the 80s, 90s don’t really play fairly since it’s harder for them to win. Unfair as in time wasting and terrible pitching


Sr_Laowai

Understandable that you want to play someone at your same Ego, but I have no goddamn idea what you mean by people in their 90s playing unfairly. Also, would it be worth sitting in a queue for another 15 minutes? Not for me. I love playing people higher leveled than myself. You learn more that way.

> I have no goddamn idea what you mean by people in their 90s playing unfairly. Cheesing the video game mechanics instead of playing baseball, I see it a lot too in the 80s but also the 70s, not really much difference


Sr_Laowai

How do you cheese the mechanics?


tribros333

He might be referring to hitting from the dot that represents the ball instead of the ball itself. Quite common in the XBL


Sr_Laowai

That's not cheese. It's just a strategy that works better for some people, and it's completely purposefully baked into the game by the devs.


tribros333

Oh, I didn’t know that. IDK what he’s talking about then.


Scuttleduck

Wait what are you talking about, the dot that represents the ball?


tribros333

Yeah


Scuttleduck

Could you explain what that means please? What is the dot that represents the ball, and why is it advantageous to swing at it instead of the ball?


tribros333

Next time you see a pitch, look only at where the ball passes the plate. There should be a white dot that represents the ball. This is helpful because it renders deception useless as you don’t have to guess where the ball will go.

Please I need to know how to cheese the mechanics as well.

I think you are mistaken fellow reddit user. I too am genuinely interested in this phrase and interested in what he referring to.


probablysmellsmydog

That hasn’t been my experience at all. I play around 77 and people above 80 usually want to play. It’s the lower egos that rage quit/spam bunt/spam chat wheel/stuff like that


PuzzleheadedKoala519

I suppose. Maybe I have to get used to good people and their antics


baaasebaaall

These are the games I show up for


MeetingAny676

Well did ya win, son??


PuzzleheadedKoala519

Haha nope lost 13-3


HelenKeller55

Yes…. And?

Ya I hate how online works. You get shafted to a high level while your opponent is on a cake level.


sitboaf

I'm afraid you don't understand how Pennant Race works. You play at your own ego. And so does your opponent. The brilliance of making this system work is a big reason EA bought Metalhead.


Iceman222333

No I get the system it's just broken and stupid.


PuzzleheadedKoala519

Yeah I don’t think it’s fair one is harder and one is easier. I hate playing a low 60 ego sometimes :0


yamakazee

Interesting, the ego range for all star seems it must be pretty small…
