Well, that’s an injury, you never quit a game because you were losing and didn’t like the result ...
At this point your grasping at whatever you can to still think your right, give up... your talking about not quitting during a video game is more about ego then about being a winner. Your ego is what is making you still think your right, not your “winners mentality”. True winning at life is combing wisdom and mental strength. You not quitting a video game cause your getting blown out or no hope of winning is more about boosting your ego to be able to say “I never quit”, and not about an actual winners mentality
EGO ? WTF are you spouting ? EGO because I don't like it when people quit because they're losing a game ? GTFO... You're ridiculous ....

you are absolutely right - the fact that this guy still is keeping this thread alive replying to everyone shows how insecure he is to begin with
Why are you commenting then ? If I'm so insecure with quitters like yourself, run along ....

Criticizing quitters is silly. I am a 400-550 RS player who is hitting .173 with every elite card. When the game starts I always pause and check my opponents batting avg. If every player in his lineup is .350+ I quit. I have no chance. Hitting that well online should not be matched with players like me. Rankings should only be based on hitting ability.
I kike this idea. Wonder if that would give a small deterrent to boosting?

That's different though, you're looking at a match-up and evaluating it, and not starting a game, falling behind and quitting because you don't like the result, so that's not a big deal, you're not even invested in the game neither is the other player.... I can respect that...

Just continuing to dig ourselves a deeper hole..

im allowed to comment and watch this whole circus of your ego vs. the people - you love to argue with everyone and it serves you no purpose - perhaps you like to hear yourself talk and you like an echo chamber - unfortunately for you this is a public forum so you can shove it up your [censored]

This is an interesting thought process considering someone quitting halfway through is doing the same thing. What I think the problem is you don't win a ton so when you finally get to beat up on someone you want them to stick around more to stroke your own ego to be able to say to yourself "Yea! I'm so good! I just mercy ruled that dude! Go me!" both of the quitting situations end up with the same result except one strokes your ego less...

GTFO with this ego stuff because I can't stand quitters... Also that guy is straight up just fine if he pulls the plug because he doesn't appreciate a match-up, he's not stopping because he's down in the 5th inning and can't handle it, he's just not liking a match-up prior to playing, that's fine .... Also, this isn't about me losing, so there you go making it into something it's not, care to play ?

So just to be clear, you’re ok with someone seeing a record at the beginning and thinking “I have no chance I’m going to just quit right away”
But not ok with
“Man this guy might beat me but I’m going to give it a try, nope he’s shown he’s much better than me I’m going to quit to play someone more my level, good try though”
That’s what you’re saying?
-
It seems like what you’re saying is “it’s better to not even try”
-
For someone so against quitters it's really weird to see "yea I'm ok with trying to cherry pick matchups instead of trying to play against better competition to get better"
-
So you'll forgive me when I say that this attitude of yours seems ego driven, because right now something doesn't add up.
-
Quitting can be a logical and tactical decision.
If I'm losing against an opponent I cant seem to do well against or hit, I have to consider how to best use the time I have available to play this game and achieve what I want each day. If I need to knock dailies out, quitting is a perfectly logical choice so I can try to knock said dailies out before I have to wrap it up for the day.
This can also be true of RS and events in general. If my goal is to win event games, I'm not gonna waste my time if I cant hit my opponent and hes scored a bunch of runs. Time wise, I'm better off backing out and going to the next game. Its that simple. Sure a comeback could happen, but is it even worth the time?

Obsoletely no problem, because nothing is invested in the game... These match-ups are random and sometime off balance, if someone doesn't like a particular match-up and they ask for a friendly that's different because the game hasn't even started yet...

I think it was in an older 2k game or maybe even going way back to the ea sports NBA live days, but one of those used to show your opponents quit percentage in the menu screen. I like that idea so you can just exit out if they had a high percentage of quits and look for another person to play.

That's not a bad idea, I don't think there should be a penalty but I think that's a good compromise. On the other hand I think there should be a penalty for dashboarding. At 1st I didn't care, I was just happy with the wins, but yesterday every single RS game I played I got dashboarded and I had 1 guy quit to prevent me from throwing a perfect game. It's actually getting very hard to accumulate these prestige stats because the only games I get to play to the end are against the really tough opponents in the really close low scoring games. As soon as I'm up 2 or 3, mid homerun... dashboard middle finger. I say give a 30 min. cooling off penalty for db'ng. Just quit when you have control again, why is it that hard?
