Another DDA (comeback logic) post

@Red_Ted_is_back
You’re not wrong! -
Wow this convo starting to seem so repetitive. It makes me wonder it’s a person that posted this is insane or maybe mentally challenged. Either way the conspiracy theories are all of that just theories

@EzMack
The thread is a bit hard to follow now that all of the OP’s posts have been removed. -
DDA is a term that is used as a crutch of the post Gen X generations since they were never taught how to lose. It's easier to blame their loss on fictional AI (fictional in online sport games such as this and Madden), than internalize their loss because they made mistakes and need to make adjustments. The Dolphins should say they lost last week to the Titans because of DDA.
-
@whiplash0013 - As a Gen Xer, I'd say that's a pretty fair take. Lots of holes in the DDA argument, and plenty of other reasons why undesirable things sometimes happen.

@whiplash0013
Not sure I buy your judgements but ok? -
Sounds bout right. If it was the game to blame then I’m sure the answer would be easier to find
-
Not to stir the pot again, but, I’ve noticed there seems to be a pretty black and white response to this idea presented by OP.
Obviously, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I think the truth of the matter lies somewhere in the grey between “it’s a crutch because your generation never learned to take a loss” and “the game is rigged”.

@halfbutt DDA is sort of like ghosts or UFO's. There is no real proof they exist, but people explain things they don't understand by saying it was a ghost or a UFO for example. As you noted with DDA, people either believe in them or they don't, it's black or white. Reason being is that there really is no gray area. They either really do exist, or they don't exist. In the case of DDA, people can't understand or comprehend why they lost, so they attribute it to DDA. It's just easier to associate the loss to something external, such as DDA, than try to rationalize the real reason they lost or why a play didn't go as they expected. Similar to seeing something you don't understand in the sky and saying it's a UFO or hearing creaking in your house and saying it's a ghost. If you really investigated these situations, the true explanation would be revealed.
I completely agree that everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I have changed my opinion many times over the years based on scientific proof. Should any empirical evidence every come up where they find DDA code in an online Sports game, then my opinion would change.
-
I mean, purely for the sake of argument, there is no real proof there isn’t DDA in the game’s coding either.
If you look at the subject from a business point of view, it’s highly likely there is such coding in just about every video game. The producers would be crazy not to include it.
That said, whatever helps people to enjoy the game the most is great with me.

@halfbutt I am a true believer in innocent until proven guilty. I know that isn't how things work today with cancel culture, but call me old school. The burden of proof would be on the naysayers to show there is DDA in this and other online Sports games. EA has already proven this by having their case dropped after the plaintiff was shown proof it didn't exist. It wasn't settled out of court, the case was completely dropped. Should SDS be sued over a similar claim, we will find out the truth. Withstanding a court decision, my opinion stands.
-
Well I just played an event game where my opponent was so weak I struck out the first 8 batters, and he was never even close to a threat during these at bats then right on cue, batter number 9 hits a walk off home run.
This game is more scripted than a WWE match.

@darkblue1876
Sorry man. I’ve been there!
Let me guess, you had a half dozen perfect swings but couldn’t score? -
@halfbutt No, I had a couple of hits in the first, runners on second and third and a good/good popup. After that I just didn't do much. I think my frustration in the first partially affected my concentration.
-
I think if you don’t score in the first couple innings, the opponent’s pitcher confidence can be hard to overcome even with good swings.
-
Confidence is way too overpowered in the game. That and stamina need to be completely reworked.
-
@TripleH-4481
Agree on confidence for sure. I still can’t say I even understand how stamina works, especially as regards relievers. -
I read this in an imagined cartoon Disney movie parody/ the view mix. Thank you for that.
