Thanks guys. To be clear, I don’t expect to dominate my first season. I’m enjoying this game immensely. I just want to be progressing to where I can help carry the co-op team occasionally and not be so dependent on the better players.

I’m new to The Show and I get “mercied” almost always. I haven’t played video games for decades but I used to be a player others would watch play (at the arcade).
Point is, I know what investing money and time in a game and making progress feels like. If a game is too easy, the progress doesn’t feel so good.
Right now, I look in my game for signs of improvement. I know there will be a time when the shoe is on the other foot and I’ll be I’ll be the one mercy-ing others but, if I were really in a hurry for that level, I’d spend more time in the batting cage (practice fields). I’d probably allow myself to spend real money too but that’s not how it’s going to work.
I’m going to take my moral victories and tolerate the palpable pity from my opponents who are writing players like me off as “terrible” when it’s just that I’m inexperienced for now. I’m learning from them. Also, I understand and it’s ok. I’ve been there.
This is a game. Have fun. The community has been great and there are so many ways to customize your experience to make it right for you.
Finally, think about this. Last year, Michael Massey, a Royals rookie, had a HORRIFIC start to his career. It was painfully bad. He got better and they asked him how he got through it and he said “You have to embrace the suck”. The Navy Seals use the phrase to deal with difficult situations too.
Stick with it and learn and you will get better!

You guys are the best. I also had trouble finding the pack. Kinda bummed me out. Seeing this, being able to get information in this forum, is really helpful! Thanks!

It seems to be working for me now!

@Blind_Bleeder Had purchased the 8bitdo ulocontroller. I like the custom ability and performance so far. Keeping this suggestion in mind, thx.

I played a Conquest game for the first time since the troubles. Yay!

@yankblan On it. Thx for the tips!
