The issue with not playing online in my opinion is you’re not putting yourself up against live competition. Man versus man, as baseball was meant to be. Beating the computer is just not the same nor can it give the same satisfaction as beating a human opponent.
Most people probably can’t stand some of the online stupidity and immaturity but I don’t let it get to me when it happens. Baseball is a game of mental fortitude. There is no room for weakness.
If a guy wants to pull that repeated bunt nonsense, I just take forever to pitch every single pitch until it stops. It usually does. But if it starts up again, so do long pauses between pitches. Fight fire with fire.
And if an opponent runs a video of a homer, don’t think of it as taunting, just assume they’re proud and admiring their success. You simply can’t let anyone get under your skin, especially over something so trivial.

Instead you have drunk/high adult versus 8 year old kid who’s adhd meds are wearing off

They should also get rid of the stupid sound effects

@Luckygiodom I’m in total agreement with this!!!

@IrishFist412 exactly! SDS encourages taunting with the replays. I agree. It is hands down the dumbest feature. That and no balks. I know I’m in the minority on balks but I don’t care.

I had a guy the other day replay his homerun, it gave him a 1-0 lead then I struck out his next 3 batters and he quit. I definitely agree that the constant homerun replaying is annoying and needs to be removed

Replaying is taunting? You aren‘t serious !!! I am loughing at everybody who thinks that it is. Sometimes I replay HR, because it was either an awesome AB of mine or some special moment that I gladly enjoy again. To me it is not about my opponent but if he thinks it is, it is his problem

@YOSHI24 you sir, are completely full of shiiiiit. If it was a great at bat that you wish to enjoy by taking another look at it, I completely understand that. You certainly have the option to record and save the last minute of gameplay (or however much you wish to record) and can enjoy it as much as you want privately. Enjoy the rest of your day sir!

Ah, someone that wasn't around the long long ago, before the days of the internets.
I like playing with and against others, but not on sports games. I want to say GG to my opponent, problem with that is opens me up to people that shouldn't be allowed to message others. I want to play a sportsman that graciously wins or loses. Not someone that's stealing second when up by ten in the ninth. I don't mind losing, half the people playing lose every time. I mind the kid that learned a cheat from YouTube and exploits it time and time again. In sports games, the human factor is the problem.
Sounds to me like your defending yourself by saying it's alright. I play to enjoy my time, to relax, not get frustrated by other players that have no respect for the game. I did play before online gaming. I'm used to playing the same thing over and over again. If I get bored, there's always several other games I can play. Don't need the aggravation. So I'll keep playing the computer.

You are one of my favorites on here. Thank you for this. Hilarious!
