What is wrong with people ?!?
-
I just had my second game, where my opponent swung badly at everything I threw. Then I got a message „Throw Strikes, are you afraid?“ … After „not complying“
he started bunt dancing and R2ing …Two opponents in order … both lost … And to top it: Both were away games played at Loughin Mountain and each time I hit a 90 mph HR
Now, for real… How do you handle those people? Do you reply (I did one time … although not native speaking I do my best at trash talk :)).
But, why?
-
I have messaging turned off for exactly this reason.
-
I throw strikes. Lol

I don’t reply, they are usually baiting you to say something stupid so they can report your account.

I report those people usually bc usually it starts with this

Turn off messages. Then you don't have to worry about people messaging you.

I also have some nice ones, but 70% of the messages are like that

You have to remember that you are probably playing against 13 year olds with no discipline.

Something I always try to remember is that you don’t know what’s going on on the opponent’s side. Sure, Most likely it’s a moody teenager doing moody teenager things…Or that person could be going through some dark times in their personal life such as the death of a parent, Can’t find work, Just lost custody of their kids, ect and got on to try to distract themselves with a video game, But you taking it to him just made him snap and now he’s just raging. Just something to consider.

No, I will not accept such behaviour. If that is an excuse, we are not having the same standards to get along (and I don‘t mean you in person
). If you have anger problems, go get help.
I know, that‘s the way, „the internet“ works today, but I don‘t have to accept it and „muting“ is not an option for me.
Yesterday I somebody tell me: „Now, baby b%%ch go back to the kitchen“ … He had everything: No skill (swing at everything), tell me to „throw strikes“, R2ing, bunt dancing, slide stepping … he still lost and had me shaking my head -
I turned messaging off years ago , haven't encountered these guys since

I appreciate your post. Your right, you have no idea what's going on the other side.
Here's the flip side: IT'S ALSO A TACTIC. When folks bunt dance/R2ing, it's a tactic. Folks do tactics to
annoy you in madden and other games. While i dont do that, i respect that it's HIS JOB TO ANNOY ME AND GET ME OFF MY GAME. We are playing Chess. He's pulling out all the Stops to try to beat me. It's all good, it's just a game. I like when folks bunt dance, i truly think it throws off your timing when hitting. I got P5 Donaldson and your bunt dancing, your not ready for this Fastball/Forkball combo, your going to strike out. Then your going to rage quit.So, i have messages turned off, i used to get message from folks during the game all the time.

I get those messages too so I play the same game as them and keep throwing stuff for them to get upset with. Then every homerun you hit message them and ask if they saw it or not while you replay. They’ll quit and be toxic somewhere else, not your fault they’re swinging bad
-
I’ve noticed when I have had the World Series emblem I get a way more messages to me especially if I lose in events or BR trashing me. It’s pretty sad. Yeah I know I am not this great player all the time. I just always assume it’s some young kid that has a lot of self esteem issues. If they’re a grown adult then they have much more mental problems and feel sorry for them. FYI I keep WS emblem because I people tend quit right away sometimes and I will always take the easy win
-
If you’re constantly running into these people ask for a friendly quit, they almost never accept, and if they’re still being toxic or sending you messages just report them

If we match up, when you beat me, I will say "Too good for me. Good game". Like I always do when I lose.
I do keep messages turned on. I do have hope for humanity. Most folks I message are reasonable.
