Are you really complaining about getting a free win??

It does suck when people dashboard though. I'd never do that to someone.

Bottomline, people can quit if they want, and you're nobody to tell them otherwise. Facts.
No, that’s your opinion....Fact.
Well it is a fact. There is no punishment for people quitting so you are not winning
Don't worry about him...he is a troll
Haha just cus I made you look stupid in one of your posts doesn’t mean I’m a troll, it means you’re dumb af. Learn the difference please before you go and try to slander my good name.
Thanks and have a good day buddy!
By made me look stupid you mean prove my point by claiming one team doing something for a couple games is not the norm? You literally are sad. I love the ironh of a guy claiming that managers don't set rosters based on pitchers calling me dumb...then again you don't even know what a fact is. You dumb af
Good name...of a troll lol

It isnt really an opinion. SDS has the button called "Quit", because it allows people to quit. They arent going to punish someone for doing what they have the option to do. If that was the case then maybe we need to punish guys who use certain hitting options or fielding options. Wouldnt make sense. Plus like others have mentioned. I dont want to sit and grind every event win, BR win, and sometimes RS win against someone that has no heart and isnt into the game after they get down a run or 2. There are a lot of youngsters that play this game and lose focus very easy. Imagine having to play a 9 inning game against some poutty kid that is mad because he went down 4-0 in the first and has no confidence in himself. That game would be HELL.
He is a dumb troll...don't worry about him

Swing and a miss slugger. Once again you are wrong. What he said is an actual fact. "People can quit if they want"-Factual statement.
"And you're nobody to tell them otherwise" -Another factual statementLearn what an opinion is and then learn about baseball
First part was a fact yes but calling someone a nobody is not a fact, that’s one persons negative opinion of them. What if someone else thinks that same person is everything for saying what they said?
Who’s right?
No one...wanna know why?
Cus they are both opinions!
But you throw around insults on here so much you probably think insults are facts. Keep trying son, you’ll get me one day
"And you're a nobody to tell them otherwise"-Factual Statement.
You dumb af. Like literally nothing about that is an opinion, do you even know what an opinion is?

The fact u took the time to write that out because someone wanted to quit and cut their losses is quite telling. No offense but you sound like a control freak, just let it be and stop trying to make everyone fit in your little box

How upset do you have to be over a win to think someone should be banned for 3 days for quiting a game?
-
I agree with the OP. Just because someone hit a HR in the first inning doesn't mean you won't take advantage of the conspiracy theorists "Comeback Logic" in the 2nd or 3rd inning. Also, maybe not in this particular event but regarding online play in general. If we use prestige players and are trying to unlock them by accumulating points towards certain missions. If a player rage quits if you hit a HR or anything with that player before the play ends, it won't count. This game is time consuming enough. Just play the game.
-
Just played a guy that threw over to the base after every pitch. I hit a HR the second batter of the game then it was nothing but balls and pitchouts for 2 innings until he finally quit.
I would have preferred he quit right away and saved us both the time.
-
If Im outmatched I'll quit. It's a free win you would have had anyway. Just play another game, I don't see the big deal as I've been on both sides. I'd rather they quit than pause over and over.
The penalties you propose for quitting are the most ridiculous thing I've read.
Just play and move on, it's that easy. -

Took you longer to write that up than it takes me to quit.
Gotta be the most upvotes I’ve seen on this forum in a long time

Well this is different. Never thought I’d see that day someone came on here to complain about a free win

For sure. That was a perfect/perfect post.

If you play the way you type, I'd quit too. No one has time for all that.

@Onyx_Hokie_2 said in Quitters:
From my perspective, the frequency of mid-game quitting is getting ridiculous. Case in point from a few minutes ago:
Important Note - The game in question was within the current Event
Bottom of the 1st, score tied at 0, 2 outs. I hit a deep solo home run with Mike Trout, and before the ball crosses the wall my opponent quits out of the game. WTAF?!
From the point of view of wanting to do well in the Event, I don't mind the easy win. On the other hand, I didn't join the Event for the glory of accumulating wins in said Event. I joined the Event because I want to play baseball online against other human beings and I tend to expect that there will be fewer instances of cry/pout-quits when the teams are even(ish) by default. Previously, most of the quits I have experienced have been perpetrated by opponents who were overmatched at the time of the quit, either via roster differences or after I've gotten a big lead in the game.
But for Pete's sake... bottom of the 1st, after giving up a single run, with even teams?
I believe that SDS should do at least one of the following, ideally all of them:
-
1st instance of quitting mid-game: 30-minute ban from online play
-
2nd instance of quitting mid-game: 2-hour ban from online play
-
3rd instance of quitting mid-game: 8-hour ban from online play
-
4th instance of quitting mid-game: 24-hour ban from online play
-
Any further instances of quitting mid-game: 72-hour ban from online play
-
Put quitters into a separate pool of players for online play, an area populated solely by players who have quit mid-game within the past week.
-
Label player icons with a badge indicating their percentage of games they've quit.
-
In online play, after the teams have been set and shown to the players, but before a single pitch is thrown, give opponents the option to avoid playing someone with a quit percentage over a certain value.
The culture that has developed in online play for The Show - a sad exponent of our culture in general at present - enables the immediate rejection of anything which a certain type of person finds to be disappointing, not to their liking, etc. It's bad for the people whose time is wasted and it's bad for the game overall. Something needs to be done about it, in my opinion.
What do you think?
All the best,
BryanThis might be the dumbest idea I’ve read on this thread. And I’ve read A lot of dumb [censored]

I'm hoping that when I get to play, I get 50 quits in a row. Lol
-
No.
Time is our most valuable resource. Think about that. Events are perfect for grinding and are often simply the most time effective for knocking out missions with online requirements.
This is by design. You'd have to change things drastically to make it not worth the time - which means way less people will play.
You don't want that because chances are the dedicated player pool left in Events is going to be Hella good which means it would eventually be left with a non existent player pool as fresh players stop bothering with it after a few games.
Do you really want to play a full game with a bunt dancing, time wasting, constant pause, etc player? Instead of having those guys quit, you'd be forcing them to play the game out and they will make you pay for it by wasting your time.
A three inning event game could end up taking an hour. Is that what you want? We do have lives you know.
I get the frustration, but chances are if you get an early quit, consider yourself lucky. You don't realize how good you got it till you face another deliberate time wasted who wants to make you suffer for doing well.
