I stopped reading after you mentioned the only online you’ve done is playing event games today.

Cause none of this stuff happens in any other gameplay? You really want to go that route?

I’m going the route of not bothering to read a wall of text titled “my annual assessment…” when it’s based on only handful of online games. Yes.

Not just a handful, a whole day of playing. I've been doing this assessment every year in the exact same fashion, and I have identified issues that were at some point in time generally accepted by the community as a whole each and every time. Sorry if I didn't meet your criteria.

Anytime.

Anytime? That's your response? Okay.

Breathe. You don’t need validation from everyone. It’s not personal. Everything you said may be true. I just don’t care to read it because I have the ability to think. You know, small sample sizes.

You don't read because you think?

The profound irony in that statement is staggering.

Thinking here is the ability to assess if something is worth reading or not due to its origin. If you need help developing this and other critical thinking skills please let me know. As a former educator it was kind of my thing. (Seriously, lots of resources for you.)

Former educator of what? With that attitude...

If you are as smart as you are claiming you would have followed up appropriately on the fact that this person does this every year. Gameplay is usually consistent. Not sure why you think the sample size is inadequate; this isn't a poll.

Also, I would think a former educator would have a little more humility and be less condescending and venomous. Almost makes me wonder why you are a former educator. Maybe you were in it for the wrong reasons if you have to be this snide rather than genuinely trying to educate people.

You can't just be a condescending douche, immediately discard someone's analysis one sentence in without taking context into account and then claim you were an educator. Something is wrong with this equation.

Usually people who have to push so hard on people what their qualifications are usually tend to be making it up or lost face because of their attitude. You saying "former" raises a lot of questions in the context of your posts. You're quite egotistical and childish for an educator.

High school social studies. Specifically media literacy, psychology, and modern world history. I took a lower stress and higher paying job working from home in 2020.

I would argue that more people need to be filtering their information and disregarding much of it.

And thank you for the baseless insults and name calling. Keep fighting the good fight.

I didn't see anything about reading, English, statistics, philosophy or anything comprehensive and you were disregarding of someone's analysis a sentence in, completely disregarding the context so obviously that particular area is not your area of expertise and you are stepping into a lane you might not have authority on. Just food for thought. Being an educator of some things doesn't make you an educator of all things.

Filtering has nothing to do with it. You literally disregarded an entire argument without even taking context into account or asking questions and made assumptions. Sorry, but that is actually a LACK of literacy. Now you're doubling down instead of admitting your mistake with a "I'm a teacher" card, despite not listing expertise any subject that actually pertains to comprension, which is quite amusing.

What were the baseless insults and name-calling? I don't recall presenting any of either. My comments toward you were technical and correct. Douche, perhaps? OK. You were being disrespectful, I'll correct myself because based on how you've treated people in this thread, if you think you are going to trap me into stooping to your level so you can deflect, project and consequently excuse your own poor behavior you're wrong. You're merely getting back what you are giving and seem oblivious to it. Lack of self-awareness is a bad trait for a teacher. Not to mention underestimating people to the point that someone having an area of what you perceive to be poor literacy means you are dealing with an overall stupid person because in this case you are not.

To be an actual educator you need to learn that people don't tend to learn by being condescended to, talked venemously to and being treated like garbage. Humility, respectfulness and patience are needed to be an educator and you clearly fail at all of those, which is alarming as those traits being needed is basically education 101. It's rather embarrassing for you to act like you can't understand why people wouldn't be receptive to "learning" from someone who doesn't have those aforementioned BASIC necessities to actually teach people things. People not reacting well to someone being a douche (excuse me, disrespectful since you you're gonna pull the passive-aggressive card) to them. Imagine that.

There. I just taught YOU something. Whether you actually learn is yet to be seem. You seem quite disingenuous, really.

Bravo Ragah.....Bravo

Reminds me of an old boss who puffs his chest out and claims to be an expert on everything yet just created more problems than he ever solved and was delusional enough to think that just because he knew a lot (he did, admittedly) that that meant he knew EVERYTHING and was above learning anything himself. And anytime he "taught" someone something, he could only do it in one way. You guessed it... a disrespectful, condescending way.

Bob comes across like a disingenuous fraud to me. He clearly lacks some of the most basic skills to actually be an educator and wants to bait people into acting how he does in order to project and deflect an argument and play victim to avoid being wrong (just like the aforementioned former boss). Not gonna work with me.

change your diaper and go do something else. sick of the whining.

Love it. Like that ridiculous "If you don't like America, leave!" nonsense deflection.

No one should accept something being sub-par. And The Show has been sub-par for a very long time.

And it's not like it's baseless complaining. People are being in depth and pinpointing specific issues in full detail and you're just gonna act like that's not the case.

@this_guy_here22_psn said in Let's get rid of griefers:

Can we get these players that purposely expose exploits in the game to freeze it because they can't win taken off on-line? Jendeyy23 is his PSN, purposely freezes the game and then refuse to quit out when he's losing. These players are aggravating because they just freeze the game to get wins. This should not be a thing in this game anymore as it has been for several years now. If it freezes just don't count the win for either side.

I just looked at his game history.

I looked at his first page of games, which goes back to the 7th.

Your game was the only one I saw where he got a win while losing. His record in those 25 games is 11-14. It does not look like the history of someone abusing freeze offs somehow.

Did you actually do any research before accusing him?

No offense to the OP but the amount of people who assume cheating is going on when there isn't tend to be fairly high, at least anecdotally in my experience.

There. I just taught YOU something. Whether you actually learn is yet to be seen.

I have not claimed to be an authority on anything here. That’s the other guy. And unlike you, I have not stated an intention to teach here…on an gaming forum. You infer a lot from very little and are incorrect in your inferences.

But hey, I’ll bite. Statistics are at the core of psychological research. Critical thinking is at the core of philosophy, but also social studies. English? I mean. Writing and reading comprehension are heavily utilized in these (all?) fields as well.

And if you can’t see choosing not to consume information based on its lack of validity as filtering, I’m sorry.

So basically you don't have the same philosophy speaking to people through your computer as you do in the classroom. This only speaks further to your poor character and delusion.

Good thing you say you didn't claim expertise on those things, because you clearly lack some very basic skills needed to teach.

I once dealt with someone claiming to be a teacher who mocked handicapped children and said they were put on earth for her amusement, so you simply claiming to be a teacher doesn't mean much to me. I will judge the validity of your words by engaging in your arguments; I'm not gullible.

You can't preach "critical thinking" after making assumptions and ignoring context after dismissing an entire argument after hearing one sentence. Sorry, you need to sit this one out. Your lack of self-awareness is showing.

Perhaps you will get validity if you don't stop reading the paragraph after one sentence? Seems pretty simple to me. Ya kinda have to keep reading it you want to conclude whether there was actual validity or not. His position WAS validated and let you didn't relent and instead only became MORE aggressively arrogant. Funny.

Everything I have "inferred" is quite clear, despite your denial.

Mmk. You can have the last word, Raes. Back to work.

Someone evidently didn't like being put in his place, so this response was predictable; this is usually how someone who has lost an argument tends to respond.

I hope you become a better person, drop the act and actually learn what being a teacher is really about; obviously you still have a lot to learn yourself.

Another 2 day old account. Really pulling out all the stops. Pathetic and sad, but also entertaining. Good stuff.

And I am just deciding to prioritize work, or really anything, over playing personal attack whack-a-mole with your 2nd and now 3rd accounts. If you choose to see that as “putting me in my place”, well, I can see how we got here.

Actually it's older, I just integrated my old account and my Switch account together so I let that one stay in place for the forum. Not sure what relevance this discussion has with how long I've been on the forum. The only thing you seem to actually do well here is make assumptions. It appears clear you are not nearly the scholar you attempt to paint yourself as.

Usually someone who loses an argument does exactly what you are doing. Pinned the corner, swinging wildly.

You keep drenching your posts in arrogance and Venom while protecting it onto other people, all because you couldn't acknowledge the fallacious first posts you made dismissing an gigantic, analytical post because you didn't see something after ONE SENTENCE that you would have found if you'd have kept reading.

I'm just using logic 101 against you and it's pretty easy. The only thing that is pathetic is your insanely jaded attitude, hypocrisy, narcissism, insecurity and projection while you claim to have had a profession that requires you not exhibit most of those things. Did you say you taught psychology? Either way, you yourself are perfect psych 101 model of study and appear to be a textbook narcissist.

We "got here" because you had an ego and resorted to logical fallacies with your very first posts. And now bringing up how long I have been on this board as if it has literally any relevance with any part of this discussion.

You're looking for a way to get a leg up and be right. You can't. It's over. Just bow out gracefully or humble yourself. Otherwise, please do us a favor and let cooler heads teach and stay retired. There is enough damaged goods out there monitoring people's children.

Notice how although I have been frank, I have been calm, civil and let my words do all the work because I have the ability to, while you have had to lean on ego and empty claims of intellectual superiority?

Only losers need to resort to that. Time to face reality.

Speaking of fallacies, I was actually pointing one out in my first post with a hasty generalization/anecdotal evidence. And I already stated that I’m not playing as-hominem whack-a-mole with you. But if you’re going to keep making claims about me “losing the argument,” try to be specific and not commit fallacies yourself.

How can you point out a fallacy in a post when you literally said you read one sentence and dismissed the rest? Perhaps if you had read the rest of the very lengthy post (where he supports his position incredibly well), you would have surmised this himself inatead of automatically declaring it illogical. Also, you're basically resorting to a whataboutism here rather than admit or deny what I levied against you. Round and round we go.

The amount of points I am making against you that are going entirely ignored have been piling up quickly. That's what tells people you lost the argument.

You clearly lack most abilities teachers need to be good at their job. Stop acting insulted that people are treating you the same way you are treating them. Drop the narcissism and display a little decorum.

The fact you brought up how long I have been on this forum as if it had anything to do with my intellect or veracity of my arguments alone exposed you. You're disingenuous, narcissistic and disrespectful; that isn't going to net you humble, respectful and welcome responses.

There are a lot of adjectives that could be used to describe you repeatedly tagging me here, but I won’t use them. Just please stop.

The endless cycle of projection and lack of self-awareness continues.

You're literally the most oblivious-to-yourself person I have ever engaged with on a forum or you are just a troll who gets off on the attention.

The guy inferring someone has a "fragile ego" ran away and backed down when questioned a couple of days ago when a couple of people managed to swiftly invalidate his absurd arguments and double standards now keeps coming back to continue to jab people. Maybe if you're gonna do that you can spend some time addressing all the points/questions that were levied on you that went completely ignored?

So is fielding LOL.

@kovz88_psn said in A challenge:

People tend to come on here after losses that they blame on a number of different things:
Directional/timing hitting
RNG
DDA
Acts of god
Lucky hits

I challenge any of the people that makes these posts consistently to come on and call themselves out next time they get a "lucky" win because of one of these things. Should be interesting

Who says no one does?

I have. I can acknowledge that I can also unfairly benefit from something stupid, but obviously any human being is going to he more annoyed when it happens at oir expense. It's just human nature. Doesn't make it not a problem.

Not just a handful, a whole day of playing. I've been doing this assessment every year in the exact same fashion, and I have identified issues that were at some point in time generally accepted by the community as a whole each and every time. Sorry if I didn't meet your criteria.

Anytime.

Anytime? That's your response? Okay.

Breathe. You don’t need validation from everyone. It’s not personal. Everything you said may be true. I just don’t care to read it because I have the ability to think. You know, small sample sizes.

You don't read because you think?

The profound irony in that statement is staggering.

Thinking here is the ability to assess if something is worth reading or not due to its origin. If you need help developing this and other critical thinking skills please let me know. As a former educator it was kind of my thing. (Seriously, lots of resources for you.)

Former educator of what? With that attitude...

If you are as smart as you are claiming you would have followed up appropriately on the fact that this person does this every year. Gameplay is usually consistent. Not sure why you think the sample size is inadequate; this isn't a poll.

Also, I would think a former educator would have a little more humility and be less condescending and venomous. Almost makes me wonder why you are a former educator. Maybe you were in it for the wrong reasons if you have to be this snide rather than genuinely trying to educate people.

You can't just be a condescending douche, immediately discard someone's analysis one sentence in without taking context into account and then claim you were an educator. Something is wrong with this equation.

Usually people who have to push so hard on people what their qualifications are usually tend to be making it up or lost face because of their attitude. You saying "former" raises a lot of questions in the context of your posts. You're quite egotistical and childish for an educator.

High school social studies. Specifically media literacy, psychology, and modern world history. I took a lower stress and higher paying job working from home in 2020.

I would argue that more people need to be filtering their information and disregarding much of it.

And thank you for the baseless insults and name calling. Keep fighting the good fight.

I didn't see anything about reading, English, statistics, philosophy or anything comprehensive and you were disregarding of someone's analysis a sentence in, completely disregarding the context so obviously that particular area is not your area of expertise and you are stepping into a lane you might not have authority on. Just food for thought. Being an educator of some things doesn't make you an educator of all things.

Filtering has nothing to do with it. You literally disregarded an entire argument without even taking context into account or asking questions. Sorry, but that is actually a LACK of literacy.

What were the baseless insults and name-calling? I don't recall presenting any of either. My comments toward you were technical and correct. Douche, perhaps? OK. You were being disrespectful. You're merely getting back what you are giving and seem oblivious to it. Lack of self-awareness is a bad trait for a teacher.

To be an actual educator you need to learn that people don't tend to learn by being condescended to, talked venemously to and being treated like garbage. Humility, respectfulness and patience are needed to be an educator and you clearly fail at all of those, which is alarming as those traits being needed is basically education 101. It's rather embarrassing for you to act like you can't understand why people wouldn't be receptive to "learning" from someone who doesn't have those aforementioned BASIC necessities to actually teach people things. People not reacting well to someone being a douche to them. Imagine that.

There. I just taught YOU something. Whether you actually learn is yet to be seen.

I have not claimed to be an authority on anything here. That’s the other guy. And unlike you, I have not stated an intention to teach here…on an gaming forum. You infer a lot from very little and are incorrect in your inferences.

But hey, I’ll bite. Statistics are at the core of psychological research. Critical thinking is at the core of philosophy, but also social studies. English? I mean. Writing and reading comprehension are heavily utilized in these (all?) fields as well.

And if you can’t see choosing not to consume information based on its lack of validity as filtering, I’m sorry.

So basically you don't have the same philosophy speaking to people through your computer as you do in the classroom. This only speaks further to your poor character and delusion.

Good thing you say you didn't claim expertise on those things, because you clearly lack some very basic skills needed to teach.

I once dealt with someone claiming to be a teacher who mocked handicapped children and said they were put on earth for her amusement, so you simply claiming to be a teacher doesn't mean much to me. I will judge the validity of your words by engaging in your arguments; I'm not gullible.

You can't preach "critical thinking" after making assumptions and ignoring context after dismissing an entire argument after hearing one sentence. Sorry, you need to sit this one out. Your lack of self-awareness is showing.

Perhaps you will get validity if you don't stop reading the paragraph after one sentence? Seems pretty simple to me. Ya kinda have to keep reading it you want to conclude whether there was actual validity or not. His position WAS validated and let you didn't relent and instead only became MORE aggressively arrogant. Funny.

Everything I have "inferred" is quite clear, despite your denial.

Mmk. You can have the last word, Raes. Back to work.

Someone evidently didn't like being put in his place, so this response was predictable; this is usually how someone who has lost an argument tends to respond.

I hope you become a better person, drop the act and actually learn what being a teacher is really about; obviously you still have a lot to learn yourself.

@jkooch66_xbl said in What are some positive aspects of gameplay from 21 to 22?:

Honestly not much...This is really the show 21.5. But as for a couple of small things:

Conquest sim speed is GREATLY decreased.

The shift seems less effective and/or extreme pull hitters have more hit varieties that sneak around the shift.

Outlier nerfed a bit

High sinkers nerfed

Analogue pitching is harder

Perfect throws to all bases

That sim speed in conquest was a Godsend, lol.

He clearly has a very high opinion of himself and projects his overinflated ego onto other people. He is not the kind of person that is capable of may sort of real self reflection.(from what I've gathered from his posts, obviously I don't know the guy from a hole in the wall in real life so hopefuy he's less condescending offline)

Kinda sad that people like him were actually teaching people's children.

Man, the quality and maturity of posts on this forum rivals imdb. So much cringe.

Yah I know a lot of people in the Education world and sadly there are tons of old and bitter people who have just given up at this point and become miserable pricks.

To watch someone literally say someone's opinion is worthless and then in the same paragraph suggest that person has no class is just such a hilarious example of lack of self-awarness. The guy doing the name-calling is dismissing arguments... because of name-calling. It's either a huge lack of self-awarness or he's just a disingenuous troll.

Imagining disregarding the entire analysis of a lengthy, numerous paragraph post after 1 sentence due to "lack of validity." That's why you continue reading, LOL. And he is supposed to be an EDUCATOR? And with that attitude? LOL doesn't compute.

You can't make this stuff up.

Another 2 day old account. Really pulling out all the stops. Pathetic and sad, but also entertaining. Good stuff.

And I am just deciding to prioritize work, or really anything, over playing personal attack whack-a-mole with your 2nd and now 3rd accounts. If you choose to see that as “putting me in my place”, well, I can see how we got here.

Actually it's older, I just integrated my old account and my Switch account together so I let that one stay in place for the forum. Not sure what relevance this discussion has with how long I've been on the forum. The only thing you seem to actually do well here is make assumptions. It appears clear you are not nearly the scholar you attempt to paint yourself as.

Usually someone who loses an argument does exactly what you are doing. Pinned the corner, swinging wildly.

You keep drenching your posts in arrogance and Venom while protecting it onto other people, all because you couldn't acknowledge the fallacious first posts you made dismissing an gigantic, analytical post because you didn't see something after ONE SENTENCE that you would have found if you'd have kept reading.

I'm just using logic 101 against you and it's pretty easy. The only thing that is pathetic is your insanely jaded attitude, hypocrisy, narcissism, insecurity and projection while you claim to have had a profession that requires you not exhibit most of those things. Did you say you taught psychology? Either way, you yourself are perfect psych 101 model of study and appear to be a textbook narcissist.

We "got here" because you had an ego and resorted to logical fallacies with your very first posts. And now bringing up how long I have been on this board as if it has literally any relevance with any part of this discussion.

You're looking for a way to get a leg up and be right. You can't. It's over. Just bow out gracefully or humble yourself. Otherwise, please do us a favor and let cooler heads teach and stay retired. There is enough damaged goods out there monitoring people's children.

Notice how although I have been frank, I have been calm, civil and let my words do all the work because I have the ability to, while you have had to lean on ego and empty claims of intellectual superiority?

Only losers need to resort to that. Time to face reality.

Truly exhausting. I officially submit to the relentless effort to defend bad reasoning with personal attacks.

I'm becoming more and more convinced you are just trolling.

Earlier in the thread you called someone's opinion worthless, and in the same post said, "stay classy." And you keep playing victim and claiming you are being attacked. Classic projection from a textbook narcissist.

The one resorting to the personal attacks is you. I'm just telling you exactly what the technical terms are that describe people such as yourself. Saying you are narcissistic and egotistical is merely an observation.

How would you suggest I say you are those things in a manner that is not a "personal attack?" Educate me.

If this forum even had a sub-par level of moderation, most threads wouldn't get to this point and guys like Bob would probably have been permanently banned by now due to constant trolling and vitriol, and you never would feel the need to make this post.
