And apologies to those who've taken the time to give great advice here; I haven't replied to everyone but appreciate all the replies! I'm pretty chuffed to read so much support for what happened.

Aye, I hate to see this. It's a video game friend, don't let it be so serious that it hurts your mental health!
No one knows who you are, no need to take any of this personally. If it truly causes you this much emotional stress, I'd take a break, or find a different game/way to play.

@cbpm72_PSN Some advice for online if you don’t have a monitor and play on a tv the input lag is a killer and you won’t realize how bad it is until you play one AB on a monitor. Total game changer for getting good timing on swings. With the input lag you basically have to swing earlier than you want to square it up. Control freaks also help especially with the high inside fastballs or anyone with an outlier fastball.

Ah no, I'm not affected to that degree of negativity. I just thought it might be nice to share what happened. Some of it sucked but I'm not affected negatively in terms of my mental health or anything like that. I'm glad I know what happened as opposed to being clueless of the events.

Thank you, I've been hearing a lot about playing on a monitor, as well as using the control freaks. I've actually also noticed a huge benefit to switching back to zone hitting after using directional for a couple of months (as I was during this match) in that the PCI helps with tunnelling pitches and that's been huge for my timing getting better already, even after only a couple of days. I'm going to try to get a monitor as soon as I can.

You shouldn’t let it effect in you in anyway. Most these dudes wouldn’t talk like they do face to face. If you look at them, 90% of them are severely out of shape and would be pummeled by any athlete. This is their only release. People forget they are talking to a real personal online.

Really toxic experience, sorry you went through that. Don't give it any significance tho.

I always just ignore "streamers" when they have TTV in their names. I used to try to find them, and more often than not, they weren't actually streamers, just had the name.

A few months back I played jugsy seigel and he was streaming. I was beyond nervous plus it was my first HOF game in ranked that day. I follow him and he was nothing but courteous after I went into the stream after I win 3-2.

Yeah well, Jugsy is the man. He's an exceptional human, I wouldn't expect anything less from him. Glad you got to play him!

Honestly, I find the whole online experience to be loaded with toxic personalities. Sure not all, but most. If they aren't crying because of how you play, they are dogging you for not being on their level. I do my absolute best to make it difficult for anyone to communicate with me, but obviously people do find ways.
Been playing nba2k21 and the community is even worse. The internet in general is full of tough guys and trolls who just love to spew venom on people. It's sad, it's pathetic, but it's what I see everywhere.
It is honestly why I hate online play and wished I had opportunity to get everything offline that online players get.

I've always heard that NBA is the worst when it comes to toxicity.

Every single sports game that is played online is toxic. Some might be worse than others but they are all filled with people that can say anything because of the fact they don't have to be face to face. Makes for a boat load of tough guys that are pathetic and a complete joke

True, applies to all games, sports or not.

Yeah I can't really speak to many games, I don't play too many online, just sports ones

Just take away the advantages from stuff like this. Ignore the toxic. Almost anything social media related, or Twitch or YouTube is gonna be LOADED with toxicity. Unrealistic comments and negativity galore. Just try and use the fact that your game was streamed in front of a bunch of people and use the actual educated critiques to improve your game. It is usually easy to decipher between the childish toxicity and educated comments. And next time dont follow the game as you play lol. Gonna throw you all off I would imagine.

The NHL community is by far the worst.....

Sorry you had this experience but tbh most streamers think they’re better than they really are. I can count on one hand how many streamers are actually better than me. And I take great pleasure in embarrassing these twitch hero’s when I play them as it usually isn’t close when I do run into them. So all I can say is just practice. Before you play a RS game go into custom practice and ramp up the sliders on legend. You will be amazed at how slow online will play if you have gotten used to insane pitch speeds in the custom practice mode. It will also help with your hitting eye. Just a few tips that might help you out.

Also a good streamer will avoid negative commentary and thus the community will usually follow where very little of the chat is focused on the game at hand. Some good streamers are Trumanation, Daddydimmutv, Even Koogs streams are pretty tame. Shelfy and Scuffy are also pretty good too. But those guys are partners so they get in trouble when they start disparaging the competition.
