Can't take the competitive aspect seriously at all.

I play RS exclusively because it feels rewarding but if I get screwed over, it's not the end of the day. "The show" goes on.
So, I've been having fun lately, decided to switch over to BR. Second game in, I'm dotting everything with my low 80's pitcher, against the other team and his 99 takashi Shohei.
0-0 all the way until the bottom of the 3rd (playing my tail off), he ends up w/ guys on 1st&2nd. He tries to steal third but I throw over and my 3rdbasemen gets STUCK IN AN ANIMATION, so the runner stops to turn back but then realizes that I'm stuck, so the other player obviously turns around and easily takes 3rd..
After I bust my [censored] to try to win, and lose like that....made me turn the game off for the rest of the night.
I know it's just a game, but [censored] it's deflating to a The Show fan, when stuff like that happens. Players getting stuck in an animation should not happen in a game that you guys literally are "working on" all year round.

I feel you, I cannot tell you the amount of times my game just disconnects from the internet or crashed when I'm up in a ranked game or event game.

Yeah I feel you. Thats frustrating. But when the issue is totally out of our hands is what kills it for me.

“Working as intended”

BR and Events are loaded with what sure feel like scripted outcomes. 8 foul balls followed by a ground ball that somehow the runner beats out. Then a cheap home run that was probably a no touch…
End of the day if we want to win, all we can do is put the best possible line up out there and hope theres no glitches and RNG is on our side.
And at that point, it loses its credibility as a competitive game
