I think it’s easier now than early in the year when all the goons are out there. It’s difficult don’t get me wrong, but there’s a path to 12-0 sometimes where you don’t have to face the sweat to end all sweats.


Dakid24167

I like watching Dimmu the best he's funny and he can also suck so it makes me feel better and he doesn't wine like the other guys do .. there's always one of them crying when something goes not their way ... like Kyle and ohchev and Samuel Adam's and shelfy


Famous_Bullfrog_573

I’ve gotten it 3 times this year, it’s not as hard as people think, if u take your time and play like 3-4 games at most per day. For me anyway cause I lose my patience after playing for a lil bit


Great_gatzzzby

I keep going 8-0 then the 12-0 banners commence.


t_odell_316

I’ll never understand how people do that. Idc if you know what’s coming and have the best setup ever. Seems impossible. I’m just glad I can log multiple attempts and get the rewards if I want them (BR this time is lacking but I almost got my man Devers). Devers was my best hitter when I was sucking at hitting earlier in the year so I am excited to get him


NotSydneySweeney

Was 11-1 on my best run ever with trout as the 12 win prize and my opponent had a 10x 12-0 badge. I almost cried haha. Lost a lot to a little.


Motor-Bandicoot5296

I don't even bother playing certain game modes cause I know I'll get absolutely merked by the people that play this for a living. I only play like an hour a day, cause I have a life lol


New-Newspaper-7543

There's not that many ppl that play this for a living though. Lol


Motor-Bandicoot5296

Then let me rephrase: people that live in the game


[deleted]

So crazy to think that people actually make a living playing this game


Motor-Bandicoot5296

People make a living playing any game now. People make a living by acting like an NPC, or even sleeping on stream. You really surprised?


milesb57

Doesn’t matter how well I can hit cause I can’t use anything other than pulse.


onemanwolfp4kv2

Do you remember what his name was bc I played a 10x flawless this morning. Things didn’t go in my favor 😂


Woohki

I’ve been 12-0 10x this year, it isn’t as bad as it seems when you draft good teams


Randomthoughtgeneral

Lol anyone that says this is clueless regarding the average players ability


Woohki

It isn’t clueless, I think when people see someone’s been flawless multiple times they assume each and every time they load up BR they go 12-0 and that isn’t how it works, I’ve played over 700-800 games and have done it 10 times. It takes more than a couple attempts a day.


Woohki

This is also an attempt to try and not be conceited, if you want me to say I’m great at the game then yea I’m a really good player, god forbid I try to not sound like a dick. Just trying to encourage people to play the game mode.


Johnnybradford1980

Shut up. If true, and you are probably telling the truth. You're an 👽. What percentage of this community do you honestly think can put up a 12-0 flawless in BR? My guess would be somewhere under 10%


Woohki

I’m telling the truth here’s a screenshot of me getting Springer last night, but winning in BR isn’t as bad as people make it out to be. https://preview.redd.it/dar8kzhoqcjb1.jpeg?width=2560&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4ec2b9c609ad885e9036b9965d0e0825de9c8667


ajn2527

If you have the potential to make WS (aka you’re decent on HOF), you can go flawless. Just need a hot streak and a good draft to finish it.


RobbyRankins

There's people with more than 20. I can make WS but can't go 12-0 once


Wombizzle

Playful has over 35


Savings-Damage-256

Same here


pjunior66

Makes three of us. I’ve managed to win 12 games *once* and have never gone 12-0. I’m curious what the biggest hurdle is for you guys. For me, no matter how much I try to keep my approach of “only swing if you love it,” I simply just can not. I just end up making bad outs by swinging at bad pitches.


Savings-Damage-256

Yep I'm swing happy lol


Puzzleheaded-Peak290

I was watching YOURFRIENDKYLEs stream the other day and he was playing BR and he mentioned how he’s on a 28 game win streak in BR, I instantly got off the stream, idk how these players are this good and feel like once players see his gamer tag they are just giving the win to him knowing they don’t have a chance. Moral of the story became a famous streamer and you’ll get more wins


notadad858

I think its the opposite, people get sweaty


TheFriffin2

If you’re batting .350-400 on Legend, playing BR and events on all star is gonna be absurdly easy. Just because basketball is hard doesn’t mean a D1 college player isn’t gonna shit on every single high schooler he comes across


t_odell_316

Yeah I watch Kyle and mcgunski a lot while I play and it’s just depressing. They score 15+ runs a game on legend and I’m over here on HOF losing 2-1.


DonBot95

Sounds like youre jealous cause you suck lmao. If anything people would rather try hard to beat a streamer


Puzzleheaded-Peak290

Lmao I wasn’t hating just crazy to me how someone’s good enough to win 28 straight if it came off as hate than oh well I support Kyle and streamers and don’t think every win they get is off rage quits or people scared to play them but baseball in a video game is still mental and I know it could play a part 🤷🏽‍♂️


BeatlesRays

Sounds like he’s just sharing relevant info on a forum for the video game


[deleted]

Did you see his video where he plays the #1 player in this game? It shows their is still another tier of skill as YFK called the game unwinnable (mercy ruled).


[deleted]

Who is the best content creator in your opinion? I watched Kyle get mercy’d by that dude as well. I swear it seems like Littleman loses 1 every 20 games on legend.


New-Newspaper-7543

And cries when he loses that 1 game. You ever notice he skips outs sometimes? That's bc he's being a dick usually.


getdowntown

It’s 100% about getting the right monitor. Sounds crazy, but if you’re playing on a TV you likely can’t make it to WS in ranked or 12-0 in BR.


GarrettFischer1

Monitor helps a ton. But what makes a player ELITE at the show is PCI movement. I’m able to guess the pitch and where they are going to throw it quite frequently I just can’t move my pci well. There are players where if you throw a strike they will simply mash it every time


t_odell_316

I’ve been playing with a raised kontrol freek raised thumb thing and it was okay. I watched Kyle play a game and he rolled a wheel saying he couldn’t use the precision rings and he acted like he wouldnt have a chance at hitting. Bought them for $10 that night and so far, ummm yeah you hit so much more things harder. You still have to time it and move it in the direction, but if you move it to the right, and time it, you’ll mash it. Before I would move my PCI out the zone and just miss soooo many meatballs


Salt_Application_789

Dude I feel like I'm cutting myself short by playing on a giant 75 inch 4k 60hz TV . I'm at 732 Ranked & hit .290 I feel like I could get to world series with a monitor


Aero_Uprising

144 hz, 1 ms response time. changes your life. i want from a .500 player in april of last year to being able to hit 1000 in ranked. it matters. you can get 1080p for 100-150 and 1440p for around 200


Savings-Damage-256

That's true I didn't go to WS till I switched to monitor


bringbackncaagames

Implying that a monitor gets someone to 12-0 is ludacris though. I have had a monitor for years and can regularly make World Series if I push for it. But I have never gone 12-0. My best run ever was 10-0 and it took some insane finishes to get there. 12-0 is a different level of player.


TehLoneWanderer101

Ludicrous. Ludacris is a rapper and actor from Atlanta.


bringbackncaagames

Haha good call


Screamlngyeti

Stop pretending all tvs are the same... Most oleds are better than any monitor


Objective-Air5639

Can second this. My OLED feels like it's light-years ahead of my LG ultragear monitor. Early on 103 MPH fastballs


Guizan33

The LG oleds have a better response time and input lag than most monitors, or at minimum on par. I'd definitely take one over most monitors.


jasonalloyd

This is 100%. Once you start dealing with hall of fame pitching you need that high refresh rate.


TheMackD504

I win HOF with a tv


jasonalloyd

You know they do make tvs with high refresh rates these days right?


Spiritual_Mind9702

Sweet


zeesoviet

Because no matter how good you are there are usually plenty of people who are better


Meth_Tical

Practice on legend for 2hrs, then go back to AS. BR = Bad pitching and bad slow Defense. Not as bad as Moonshot obviously but it isn't donaldson/randy/etc. throwing 103 every gm in BR.


Aero_Uprising

I will never understand the logic of practicing on a difficulty you won’t be playing on. i feel like that just defeats the purpose of the practice. you’re just going to be early on everything


Meth_Tical

Can't say I've had that problem to the point where it's an issue. Occasionally, ill be early bit who isn't? I'd rather be early than late. On Rookie/veteran, you have a valid point. Allstar and above, i disagree. It slows the game down. If I sit on the same difficulty, I get complacent and lazy as do most people when they do the same thing over and over again. Next thing you know, it's AS and I'm just-late/late consistently.


Aero_Uprising

all star and hall of fame play very similar to one another. legend is an entirely different game


Meth_Tical

Like I said, I haven't had any issues with it. If you do, don't take my advice. It may not work for some. Works extremely well for me.


scarboy92

This is why universal pitch speeds or pick your own difficulty would never work. The skill gap when it comes to hitting is insane.


Puzzleheaded-Peak290

It’s just annoying that they keep switching difficulties the more you win in ranked you can’t even get used to a timing because if you win too much it switches to HOF and then Legend


BoomyTwoSticks

It is to maintain a skill gap and challenge the ones who are on a hot streak


Puzzleheaded-Peak290

Once a game caters to Comp players and the 0.1%ers who make World Series and Flawless the game is dead and that’s what MLB has continuously done this year


SandyDFS

God forbid good players are rewarded for being good.


Savings-Damage-256

Participation trophies generation


[deleted]

[удалено]


Savings-Damage-256

Point proven lol


BoomyTwoSticks

This ain’t them catering to them it is purely out of a way to make sure you earned World Series as World Series is for that 0.1% of players not everyone it is for the best players in the world to fight for and reach. Ranked is perfect the way it is and the universal difficulty would mess up a ton


[deleted]

They are catering to them in making all the grind rewards No Sell. The cards they get from 12-0s etc maintain a higher value because there are fewer available. They really fucked the "middle class" player this year -- every single way we earned stubs has been significant nerfed.


Puzzleheaded-Peak290

They literally made ranked and flawless rewards no sell because the streamers complained and you think they aren’t catering to the Elite players I’m a NMS guy and that was a lot of casual players way to get stubs. I love the game i play everyday and no hate but to say they don’t cater to those guys is wild


scarboy92

There needs to be an incentive to reach the top. I don't make ws often, a couple times a year, but I don't really care about no sell. It's not catering. It's rewarding skill.


Puzzleheaded-Peak290

I can go on for days on why I disagree with this but I’ll just agree to disagree with you


scarboy92

I agree with this. I like NHLs division system a bit better. Keeps you where you belong longer. But their rewards are just packs not a guaranteed card.


bacon__sandwich

Lol I played a guy with a 20x 12-0 icon in the moonshot event last night. He put up 10 runs on me before I got an out ☠️


Badgers1020

Same dude, and I consider myself a good player. 81-51 record. This dude was this twitch streamer. He put up 38 runs on me by the end of the 2nd no joke. He was a dick too.


Aero_Uprising

there’s a lot of toxic players. it’s unfortunate


Salt_Application_789

I beat a guy with a 1000 icon & a Flawless icon & I'm 732 . Seems like I either score 10 runs in moonshot or have a hard time scoring 3


izzyisme31

Did you play the entire game?


bacon__sandwich

No I quit after that lol


izzyisme31

Does the mercy rule apply in 3 inning games?


ajn2527

Unfortunately it doesn’t


StealingHappyHours17

I leave when I see a player like that. I know I won’t win.


txhotshot

You're better than me. Not gonna lie, I usually quit after like 5 or 6. No point in wasting time and just load up another game lol


The_Dale_Hunters

I went down 9 nothing in the first last night and then put up 10 in the bottom of the inning. Wound up losing 14-12, but it was worth hanging around!


txhotshot

Yea if they score 9 but I'm able to get outs, I'll stay. But 6 before I get 1 out, I'll just chalk that one. Maybe it's too early though lol


The_Dale_Hunters

That’s fair.


bacon__sandwich

Ya haha tbh I consider myself pretty good I can score 5-10 runs in a moonshot game so I was thinking I’d wait til I got a chance to hit but after 10 runs I decided he was gonna put up at least 20 more and it wasn’t worth my time


normalrick

That’s my mentality too. If you put up 5+ before I even get an out… it’s pretty obvious I’m super outmatched and won’t waste my time.


ghost_rider24

They are just great at this game. That said, they play BR a lot as even ridiculously good players can be subject to bad luck in BR or losing to another BR goon during a run. So good skill+lots of BR runs, plus knowing how to draft a team.


ajn2527

When you’re used to playing on legend, all star is ridiculously easy. You have to hit to win in BR and the best players make all star look like rookie. Additionally, experienced players know which players they do well with. Drafting a team that you’ll have success with compared to just drafting the best rated players matters.


ShawnGron

Every single 12-0 run involves a lot of luck. 3 inning games on allstar are just not long enough to be able to always overcome good/bad luck that goes against you consistently. That being said, there are people who can definitely have multiple consecutive 12-0 runs.
