    I stopped reading after you mentioned the only online you’ve done is playing event games today.

    Cause none of this stuff happens in any other gameplay? You really want to go that route?

    I’m going the route of not bothering to read a wall of text titled “my annual assessment…” when it’s based on only handful of online games. Yes.

    Not just a handful, a whole day of playing. I've been doing this assessment every year in the exact same fashion, and I have identified issues that were at some point in time generally accepted by the community as a whole each and every time. Sorry if I didn't meet your criteria.

    Anytime.

    Anytime? That's your response? Okay.

    Breathe. You don’t need validation from everyone. It’s not personal. Everything you said may be true. I just don’t care to read it because I have the ability to think. You know, small sample sizes.

    lol acts as if he's the resident expert on the game

    In all fairness, I probably am. I'm willing to bet the house that I've been playing this game for a lot longer than most of the people on this forum and at a consistently higher level too.

    lol you play one mode primarily offlinen

    Ha. If you're not informed, just keep your mouth shut. I've been a borderline top 50 player for years and went flawless probably 100 times since MLBTS 17.

    top 50 sure lol

    Lmao see now you're actually making yourself look stupid. It's a fact, but you probably weren't around.

    been here since 08

    Anyway, I'm gonna stop with all this pettiness. I gave my opinion, that's all it is. If yours is different that's totally fine.

    I don’t care if the guy has never lost a game. An anecdotal and hasty generalization should be disregarded, even when appeals to authority are made. Because, you know, logic.

    Jeez!! A player decided to post his thoughts on the game so far and a couple people want to flame him for his opinions? Who cares if he hadnt been around forever, who cares if he never even made Championship series. It is his right and opinion to post how he feels, not how some people want him to feel.

    Sure, disagree all you want, but at least bring up what you disagree with and debate it. Or better yet do your own little write up.

    I don’t follow. RAES has been around forever and has played at the highest level. He has earned most people’s respect here….but I agree with your statement, everyone has the right to share their experience

    Can’t find the “good” timing on pitches away at all. Seem like the hardest to time up for me.

    You’re taking about the dude telling people to keep their mouths shut and saying not to mind the small sample size because he should be considered an expert, his post?

    If I were to make a claim, based solely on his posts here, that too much of his self-worth is based on this game and that his fragile ego craves constant validation, that would have more evidence backing it up than his “annual assessment” does. But I won’t, because that’s not enough evidence to make such a claim. Nor would any expertise I may have in psychology increase the validity of such a claim.

    Im talking about the original post. Anything after that looked like self defense to me.

    Yeah, I'm new and even I know @raesONE_PSN is a Show legend. Last year alone he was at the top of the leader boards for nearly every event and then of course there was the famous post that caused WW3....keep on trucking
    Raes.

    @Bob_Loblaw1984 stirs the pot because well...who knows. Sometimes he cracks me up, sometimes he makes me wanna listen to My Chemical Romance and cry in my journal....he too is entitled to his opinion.

    Most importantly, and I can't stress this enough. How the (bleep) can I change my mother (bleepin) icon?

    I was merely stating as if we were all waiting on pins and needles for his analysis. He's just another dude playing the game and year in year out whining about gameplay threatenting not to purchase rinse repeat

    I can see that. But way too quick to be defensive and unwilling to admit fault in his opinion for me to respect. I just see a sad and fragile dude. Hope he seeks help.

    Makes me think of the color orange for some reason. Hmm.

    Love @raesONE_PSN and have always really dug @Bob_Loblaw1984 too. Both have solid reaction and defense. Both have the “self-righteous” quirks flare up at times though, so they’re definitely not flawless. In summary though, both are really solid cards overall that I want around.

    I said keep your mouth shut to @HustlinOwl_PSN in regard to him saying that I mainly play offline. I didn't take offense to you, you're just too lazy to read some text and try to pass it off as a lack of sample size. That's fine, like myself you don't need any validation either.

    I agree with most things you said. I can only compare this game to last year's game, but I remember how terrible online play was when contact swings were a thing. And when that was fixed I had a genuinely good time playing online, well whatever those good vibes were.. they haven't returned thus far this year. Somthing just seems off.

    Overall tho this game just doesn't feel the same, and not in a good or improved type of way. From an offline perspective there is still hope from me. But man, Last year loading into the game I felt excitement and anticipation. This year just feels kinda blah. I cant even bring myself to play online games right now because the few I have played were terrible.

    The program stinks, content stinks, xp over packs and stubs stinks, I still play but this is really the only non-fps game I like these days.

    I'm Dutch, we fly the color orange. That's probably why. And I applaud you for being able to assess my character based on a few comments online and without ever meeting me. Talk about giving away tells about someone's personality 🙂.

    I’m not “too lazy” too read it. I just make it a practice not to read worthless opinions. But at least you were transparent and early about it being based on so little. Saved me some time. Appreciate it. And I’m aware that it wasn’t directed at me, but I’m still going to judge you for saying it to anyone. Very classy.

    Love the irony here. And I was explicit earlier about not making a claim about you based on your posts in this thread. But I have read so many of your others that I can’t reserve cumulative judgment.

    You are in no position to talk about classy 😂. But I'm done going back and forth with you, it's unfortunate we have to argue over something so insignificant. But since you keep getting personal towards me, I'm just gonna go ahead and block you and be done with it.
