OMG!! I think I finally just read something that has me excited. I don't play much online, but when I do, I mostly play with the Pirates and you know who my typical opponent would be (top team with the ace of the staff).

Why is that? If the algorithm is the elo system then someone who has a 50-50 record against the top teams is going to be ranked higher than someone who is 90-10 against the bottom 10% of teams. And I would assume the guy playing better competition and holding his own is probably the better player, especially if he has an inferior team and uses crappy players/pitchers.

The current leaderboards for exhibition games do not take this into account. They are a joke. DD leaderboards do however......no one has a low winning pct and you have to face top 200 players constantly. You can be ranked number 1 in less than 100 games theoretically.

I guess losing is fun too. The leaderboards in DD are a pretty good representation of the player controlling the team. Rank in exhibition games mean nothing if that is what you were referring to.

There is only one team that did that and he had to do it by taking over the marketplace. Since then people have figured the marketplace out and the guy stopped playing. In DD for MLB 13, there will be player caps and you won't be able to do that. I take it you are just hating on that mode and I doubt you've actually logged hours into it from the sound of it.

Players now have attribute caps, so you can't max everything out anymore. That change alone improves things tenfold.
