This game is dead the casuals have left

@Loyal-Wiglaf I know that’s what I do, I’m not sure how a “casual” would be defined, but it’s someone who doesn’t play online H2H, just to play? Then I’m one of them. Once I get to the rewards, I’d rather play co-op, or mini seasons if I hop on. Right now I’m playing Fallout 4 until Friday

@Pergo I mean guess but you also proved you're an SDS simp who knows nothing about network. I mean that's ok.

Hey, I can play the guitar! Music is NOT dead, even though Dickey Betts died. =(
-
@Loyal-Wiglaf some genres are sadly dead.

Ah yes, the go to "SDS simp" line whenever you realize you're wrong and have nothing else. My favorite!
-
@Pergo But......you haven't said where I was wrong? And this forum is full of SDS simps. That's what I call you. It's not like I'm just NOT gonna call you what you are. SDS simp. Just the fax

@arvcpa
Don’t fret bro, you posted a perfectly reasonable response but the OP wasn’t having it. He’s the type who pours hot coffee on a three legged puppy. Don’t waste any more seconds on this guy.
That @arvcpa sounds like a great guy. A class-act all the way.
Don't hurt yourself patting yourself on the back with your X-Box account LMAO. What's up buddy?
-
@AdeptOfMemory Anyone can see my posts and easily tell I'm not an "SDS simp". Just the "fax".
-
@Pergo So you say.

Then why is finding matches in BR and Ranked far faster than it was at any point last year?
Event mode is anti-casual, I got my 2 doubles for Easter and its doubtful I'll ever play it againThis is true but I don’t think it’s because of player population, I’m pretty sure they just loosened matchmaking restrictions. Never in my time playing this game, even at the peak of huge content drops, have I found a match immediately after queuing up. The last week or so it has been immediate every single time

Games loosen matchmaking restrictions when the populations dive that’s a fact

So I played about 10 more event games last night the worst player I ran into was 60-32 the game is dead I have see no casuals in weeks. I don’t accept the idea that it’s just bad luck like the crappy hitting that will reward late and early swings with moon beams but good pci/timing are outs. If it’s consistent it’s not bad luck.
Question:
Are casual and bad synonymous for you? If that record had been 32-60 would they then be a casual? I would say no since they apparently would have put in the same number of hours as the 60-32 player.
Casual to me is a measure of time spent and not skill.
I doubt I have the time but I would be curious to see who I would get matched up against if I chose to play events with my 0-1 online record.

Sure but that would be to keep matchmaking times down/at the same level. If queue time went up from like 20 seconds to 1 minute and then back down to 20 seconds, I could see that argument. But the time went from 20 seconds (these are just arbitrary numbers to explain my point) to 0 seconds randomly, not sure we can discern anything on player count from the matchmaking time in this case.

@Doctor-Fauci910 generally you can just go to YouTube and twitch to see viewership numbers and just do a good estimate.
Like if CoD on Twitch has 100,000 people watching cod streams it's save to say the game isn't dead. If there's 100 people watching The Show streams you can safely say the game is dead when compared to your every day common video game.
-
@AdeptOfMemory Maybe Streamers numbers are down cause people are too busy playing the game instead of watching someone play the game.

MLB will never compete with Cod on twitch, Not a lot of sports games maybe outside of Madden or Fifa do well on twitch.

@TEXAS10PT I spend all day logging in and out so that I can "like" all my own posts. Someone has to do it.
-
@GixxerRyder750 that's not how that works lol

@chucky97___ Sports games don't do well because they aren't near as popular. It's far more entertaining (to the average person not directed) to just watch the real sport than to watch someone play a simulation of that sport.
It's not as if sports games just don't do well on Twitch or YouTube, it's that they simply are not as popular. There's nothing wrong with that either.

I'm surprised this thread is still open and some of the posters aren't banned by now.
