    What does "RNG" mean?

    Random Number Generator.

    Its a known conspiracy theory, from certain people that don't realize things can happen that don't work in your favor , so instead of sucking it up and dealing with a loss, they start stating that SDS has put in place a coding that will kick in if someone of lesser skill is losing to a person with better skill; so the game stays competitive. That way the so called lesser skill player jeeps playing, and spending money, instead if not playing/spending money.

    That's not entirely true. RNG absolutely exists, games like this could not work without it. It's just not the nefarious behind the scene force that only works for your opponent and never you. Like for example, say a card has 95 power and you square it up, that outcome has a certain percentage of being a hit, it takes into account the batter stats, user input etc and spits out an outcome

    What your describing is comeback mechanics, which is different, though often associated with the term RNG.

    RNG is increased and decreased by game sliders..it tilts, expands and contracts the RNG range.

    Wins do not equal enjoyment. I guess the instant gratification society does not understand that. I'd rather enjoy a game and lose than play somebody that is either trying to cheese or pretty much boost prestige player stats. I enjoy real competition -- I guess I'm in the minority there.

    But youre playing in events which is literally known by all to the be the boosting grounds. Are you that thick in the head?

    There's nothing enjoyable about losing, sorry that this free win hurt you so much, I hope you can recover quickly we're pulling for you man, please keep us posted!

    Just played a WS guy starting Rivera so he could prestige him (I don't get the rush to do this... the card is pretty much the same prestiged or not) who bunted with every batter. After 1 inning, he quits. I win, but that is so dumb. Next game, another WS idiot starting Rivera in another rush to prestige employing super cheesy tactics offensively and defensively. Why are WS players so desperate and pathetic? I win 70% of my online games without playing desperate and cheesing. These guys make me want to play offline only. The best thing I did was buy Nascar Heat 5. It is refreshing to play a game without predetermined outcomes and people trying to game the game by cheesing or attempting to use every exploit possible. I have loved this game for years, but my enjoyment is zero at the moment. I am losing all interest in online play between RNG and cheesy WS players. It is sad that WS players, the so called "Elite", feel the need to cheese and attempt to exploit meaningless event games. For the first time ever, I'm contemplating not purchasing the game next year. I just decided I will not be buying NBA 2K in September for the first time in years for similar reasons -- it is no fun to play a game where poor shot selection with mastered timing mechanisms for contested step back 3s and button mashing for steals is rewarded. Neither game even resembles their sport in online play right now, and that is truly a shame. I play because I love the sports. When cheesy tactics, exploits, and RNG take over so much, I lose all interest because the game no longer remotely resembles the sport I'm trying to play.

    Nascar can suck an egg with the nfl and nba

    I don't think you understand what rng means. It is definitely not a conspiracy theory. Lmao.

    I for one have ZERO issue with people quitting out of event games. Win win, but people still complain?

    I think they should have put in offline missions to prestige the players. Like make the hits or XBHs 3x more offline than online, or something like that.

    I would take free wins in every event. I don’t mind when people do it to me. The more the merrier.

    You played two guys with World Series banners and made the assumption in your post that all of us World Series guys are like this. That is a generalization my friend and generalizations are bad. I’ve been annoyed at the tactics of people with just about every banner there is and most of them are championship series but I will still be buying the game championship series hunter be damned.

    They want to give me a free win, I'll take it. A few weeks ago I was playing a RS game. 9th inning I was down by 7 or more runs. My opponent pauses the game, and lets the time run out. I send him a message asking if he was playing just to complete some missions? He says yep. I thanked him for the win.

    It shouldn't be though. Sometimes people don't want or have time to play full 9 inning games. People hitting and quitting is pretty irritating. I dont blame people, I blame SDS for putting dumb online only stat missions in the game. Doesn't make it less annoying though.

    There are different types of players who have a WS banner.

    Players who cheese their way there using any method imaginable and then there are players who legitimately are good enough to make it playing straight up.

    NASCAR is even more toxic if you barely bump someone they’ll wreck you and then there’s people who just go in the game to try to wreck people

    I have to agree that it is mildly annoying to load everything up to only play one inning. I have actually had a few good games (competitive and non-cheesy) lately.

    Don't give up on online play. There are some good games waiting for you.

    This is not really cheesing... they’re getting an inning in and giving you the win. I don’t really understand the complaint

    It wastes one person's time. They should have to play a full inning for any stat to count so one person doesn't waste their time.

    How is that wasting time...? I’m assuming you’re playing the event for the rewards no? Wouldn’t this be saving you time if the guy is quitting instead of playing the full 3 innings? I will never understand people complaining about players quitting and giving a free win.
