    same..... im tired of playing teams loaded with 99 players every positions, yet my team is a high 80s ranked maybe 1 or 2 99 guys.... and i no hit them thru 4...5 even 8 innings and they quit....

    I"m talking regular teams, not the super teams ....

    Regular teams? I didn’t know anyone even played with regular teams. They quit because they get no stats for DD so who cares. I quit if I get smoked bc it’s a waste of time when I could be playing for a win 2 minutes later

    Quitter suffer from THS....

    Tiny heart syndrome......
    If you quit you shouldnt be able to a diamond or reach world series.
    Quitting is a terrible character trait. I've been beat 11-1 b4 its humbling you take it on the chin you get up dust off and move on. Learn. But do not be a quitter.

    One of the most far off posts I have witnessed on here. It’s a game homes.

    Right... this is the guy that will ask a girl out 200 times, get a restraint order and still try to ask her out because “quitting is for tiny hearts”

    I guess in 2020 quitting is more justified then ever.

    That's sports, someone wins someone loses and you try your best and if you lose at least you tried... What is the mind set of playing a sports game when you can't accept a loss? I can't even understand that mind set... Playing online is just hopeless with all the quitters...

    You have to understand too that some of the quitting could be because of a lag they have on their end. Furthermore, the opponent could’ve had a string of bad connection games. In the end, it may have nothing to do with you or the score. Just take the win and move on. To each their own.

    It's a game yes. But quitting is a mentality. You quit in a video game you'll quit in real life when things get tough. Winners dont quit it's really that simple. I dont quit in a video game bc I dont quit in real life even when the odds are against you. Any1 thinking my way of thinking is way off clearly isnt an alpha, or a winner.

    Ya I guess your right if you quit in a video game your clearly mentally weak which I guess I am. Never mind the fact that I tore my acl my senior year of high school, rehabbed went to a jc to then earn multiple d1 offers . Oh and then to have all that taken away cause the week before I made my commitment I was diagnosed with cancer and spent the next 3 and a half years going through chemo, which I am proud to say I’m a cancer survivor, but yes your right if I quit a game in a video game I’m mentally weak.....

    Dude, did you really just compare playing a competitive sports game to asking a girl out ? LOL 😂 .... Man if you even feel that’s close to being comparable, good luck out there... 😂

    Cancer gave you no choice, you either win that battle or you could die, so I’m glad you won... That’s not a sporting event though, that’s life or death, not comparable...

    Lolll what an asinine statement, it's a video game it's not that serious, I had surgery 2 and a half months ago and got my stomach ripped open and now have what's called an ostomy, one of the most mentally tough things I'm facing in my life, there's no quit here, if I quit in a video game to save my bullpen once every like 30 games that does not equal quitting in real life. Take that nonsense somewhere else and get real.

    You're a joke my guy, take that I'm an alpha winner BS somewhere else. Also, you play online rated, I didn't even know they had 100 people that played that. You don't want to play people in DD?

    "Any1 thinking my way of thinking is way off clearly isnt an alpha, or a winner."

    Is actually one of the most "beta" things I've heard said on here lol

    Also to the point of "not getting the results you want" I quit my job working in pro football 4 years because I wasn't getting the results I wanted, in my personal life or professional life, now I have the results I want both professionally and personally at the job I've been at since then so tell me why quitting because I wasn't getting the results I wanted in that situation was a bad thing?

    Quitting doesn't usually bother me because I'm not that good and I'll take the win. It does annoy me when I'm trying to get certain pitching missions done. Like last night, I got quit on twice when trying to get my second Treinen save.

    haha, so you can't tell the difference between a video game and something more serious in "real life"?

    Yes I had no choice with cancer, but I guess you skipped over the first part where I said I tore my acl my senior year and went to a jc and earned d1 scholarships, I think that qualifies as comparable...

    I only quit when I'm completely outclassed and its late enough in the game that there's no hope of victory. My time is valuable, and I'd rather not waste it playing every last out of a lost cause just so my opponent can stroke his ego by padding stats against an inferior player

    I think this year it actually has more to do with strategy honestly, at least on my end. If your down a lot early you have to bring in relievers or a starter out of the pen, and with energy this year you can either tax your entire bullpen for a game your in reality not gonna win, meaning you have no arms for the next game, or coincide the game and save your arms and have a better shot at the next game.

    I completely agree maybe they should implement this for mlb..it would save bullpens for many teams

    Well, that’s an injury, you never quit a game because you were losing and didn’t like the result ...

    Well yeah, but not in the context of a sporting event... Quitting is fine if you like feeding wild Grizzly Bears Fig Newtons, you might live a longer life quitting that one ...
