How do you deal with losing?
-
I avoid losing whenever possible, but memes are great.

These posts suck, stop whining it’s a [censored] video game. Bunch of [censored] snowflakes around here

I'd love to lose a game to anyone at this point, if it's a 9 inning game. I'm 10-10, 7 of those losses are freeze offs to guys that refuse to shut their system down. I have limited time to play with work and family, so I don't sit there like an idiot for 3 hours waiting for a win neither person earned.

After a tough loss I usually just watch some Pornhub & then I feel better.

A couple of people have mentioned perspective & I recommend keeping that in front of you. You're playing a videogame in a climate controlled home with high speed internet. It could be worse.

My goal this year is to not get as frustrated with it.
Its going to happen. Already happened once on a swinging bunt with bases loaded 1 out in extras (catcher came out to play it and I had no shot at home or to turn 2.......) but thats kind of what baseball is I guess.
I'm hoping with improved pitch control I wont feel that frustration as much. Last year it was always due to pitches just grooving over the plate when I had good releases.

Seethe in rage for about 2 minutes and then just move on

I come to the forums and Poo-Post about dumb stuff that doesn't make me lose like RNG or check-swings to make myself feel better about losing.

There are undeniably RNG elements to this game. If people deny that, they are just lying.

There is RNG for basically every game in existence, this game could not exist without it. I think it would be extremely rare to find anyone who believed such a thing.

Just think of it as baseball. Where the best team loses 60 to 70 times a year. Or 35 to 40 percent of the time. Best teams in baseball lose to the worst teams all the time. They just want to win each series more than an individual game. But since you only play each person 1 game at a time in the show, you just have to move on. If you are truly better you will win more in the long run. It's a marathon in baseball. Not a sprint.

A random number generator is the basic makeup of all video games to work right.

See, that is a misconception though.
While yes, those trash hits are part of RNG, RNG isn't some boogie man that is out to get you. It has real functions as well that make a game a game, it doesn't exist just to screw you or help you depending on your viewpoint. Especially in a baseball game where the sport itself can be a bit random
Now don't take that as me saying the 'ThAtS BaSeBaLl" argument, skill should win out, but most people only associate RNG with helping less skilled opponents, when it is way more then that.

That is true

I just let it slowly build up inside, and keep it bottled up. Loss by loss... I’ll be ok... right?
-
If the game fooks me over real good I do not continue playing.. Thats the only way you arent going to get over the top RAGED

Come to the Forums and Scream about how terrible of a Game this is
