    The better player shouldn’t always win.

    That’s not how baseball works, and that’s not how life works.

    Sir, this is a video game.

    Exactly. Stop crying about a video game. It doesn’t matter. At all.

    I forgot to ask you on the last post in the other thread. How tall is she?

    I don’t understand the justification of “that’s baseball”

    In an online h2h video game, the person with best input should always win. If I wanted randomness I’d just gamble on baseball.

    Borderline strikes 98% of the time called a ball, check swings, random results from the pci, and the inability to stay out of the middle of the zone as a pitcher have made this game poopy 💩.

    Seems like there are a lot of people here who’d be better off playing OOTP.

    The best players don’t win every time in any game or sport.

    I could be an Uno god, but I wouldn’t win every game.

    exactly like usually the best player wins, but losing happens sometimes

    Floyd Mayweather has a 50-0 record. Your statement is false.

    Boxing has no random elements though. It is entirely up to the boxer whether he wins or loses. Baseball has many people all playing together. Environmental effects, umpires, multitudes of batters and pitchers.

    Baseball is a random sport.

    I know it is, that’s why I asked how this game could be considered competitive with all the randomness. True competition to me would be pure PvP without the game trying to simulate real baseball.

    "Without the game trying to simulate baseball?"

    This game is a baseball simulator.

    I didn’t say the strike zone was random. Pitches on corners are way more likely to be called a ball than a strike. This coupled with guaranteed rooster shots lowers the skill gap.

    Let’s see here. Same people keep trolling op with Ryan comments. A couple comments deemed bad enough to have to be deleted. A few more comments that add no value whatsoever to the post. Why do these mods allow this same [censored] from the same people?

    Why don’t you ask them? That always works out well.

    You are a true testament to persistence. Bless you, Ryan.

    “Joined about an hour ago”

    Hmmm that’s not suspicious at all 🤔

    I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that this account pops up right after the OP gets banned.

    It’s interesting that you have knowledge of the the trolling of this one forum member who is known for having many accounts considering the fact that you just created this account and have a grand total of one post.

    Interesting indeed...

    I will give you one thing. At least you pick different avatars. It took that kid Kieran years to figure that out.

    Why did he get banned? All I see is negative and unnecessary comments from others and not him. I did just join after buying the game thanks.

    You know why he got banned better than any of us, Ryan.

    So you admit he was being trolled, why was that allowed?

    What was Ryan’s user name before getting banned? The only trolls I know by name are Demise, Kieran, and joshjays.
