I mean, in MOST online competitive games, 50% of the population leaves unhappy, right? That’s just unacceptable in today’s world. If I don’t win, something’s wrong.
Can't let this sit unaddressed. Not at all what most of us are suggesting.
I believe most folks out here that complain about a game that puts 2 opponents in competition with one another, but let the AI decide the outcome. And you know you're losing to the AI..not the opponent. That, my friend, is the frustration.
I've ran my entire life. Got into many 5 k's, then 1/2 marathons, and then marathons and seldom finished first. But, that never-ever upset me. Because I knew I was giving my best, so was everyone else, but some were just better genetically engineered to beat my a$$. And I have zero problem with that. Never did I go into a rage after an event and start venting online to the event organizers.
You're comparing apples to oranges. competition to artificial intelligence generated animation. Huge difference, and no offense intended.

I think competitive online gaming breeds discontent among most men who engage in it and only leads to toxic behavior. Due in large part from the mechanics of the gameplay. I'm personally an offline guy because of my blood pressure concerns (thanks FIFA) and I'm no longer a young man. I also have found success in real life to where beating someone else online does nothing to improve my well being. I think for the people who rage so much that it affects your physical and mental health, should balance it out with a variety of other modes and not just competitive play. Maybe try RTTS in between DD.
^This, RS is already a grind before you factor in the people trying to cheese, troll or pause their way to victory and some flawed mechanics. It drains you mentally, simply due to the level of focus you need to have in order to be successful, you need to give your brain a rest. I am glad my kids are home, it keeps me from playing all day, now I only get a chance to play 1 or 2 games a day and it's so much better. I am actually mentally refreshed and focused for the games I do play and have seen much greater success in my online games.

Yeah, when any adversity hits, just quit. You sound like a winner

Another honest and soul-searched response. I believe anyway. Couldn't have said it better. The more of these type shares I read the more I realize...I should find something else to consume my time that isn't as stressful and unfulfilling.
Believe I'm going to go fly my drone around for awhile, play with my dog, do some hiking, maybe even play a game of chess with my daughter. Although I do get bummed when she beats me, mainly because I can't blame it on the AI. Ha.

Believe me when you do come back to playing the game you wont be as frustrated and stressed, I don't think it helps that everyones been stuck at home for close to a month either lol. They need to open up some businesses soon and we all need to get back to work, for our own sanity lol. It looks like "curves" are flattening around the world so hopefully its not to much longer before we can go back to being regular human beings again lol

Why I even try to play counterpoint on this trash is silly..on my part. But, I'm surprised that someone that writes such dribble can even spell "winner".
Go troll on Twitter, there are some folks out there that got the words to humble the best $hit-starters.

Look man I get it, you’re frustrated, nobody likes to hear this but you’re 26-36 batting .209, eventually it has to just not be the game..

Don’t ever quit !
Exactly this. Im 16-3 and alot of those are come from behind wins. im not gonna dip out when things get tough. Its a 9 inning game and A LOT can happen. ive scored 8 runs in an inning to come back before. Plus it makes the wins alot sweeter when you take it from them while trailing.

Ahh, so you're projecting your sleuthing ability now. Clap-clap. Yep, I'm 26-36 having quit 10-15 games. Sort of reinforces the title of this post...right?
The BA is what the AI allows it to be. Might be higher if I had let some of the more "unusual" games play out...might be lower. Who knows.

Truly amazing how your mind works lol your batting average doesn’t really change with how many games you quit

I should teach my daughter chess. I'm teaching her piano at the moment. I'm not a big Jack Johnson fan but that Banana Pancakes song has been stuck in my head for a week now. Kids love that ****. Tbf it is catchy.
But yeah man don't fall victim to the toxicity and also it helps to have compassion for anyone else engaging in it and spreading it.
