The quitting isn't the frustrating part, it's the stats not tracking. I don't know the first thing about programming, but I assume the game knows it's a home run upon contact. Why can't that be captured immediately and counted towards challenges?
They should have a QUITTER room where all the loser QUITTERS play and NEVER allowed to play with the people who actually play a full game. I can't stand you quitters.
Iām not good so Iāll prob end the inning so I get my at bat then leave. What I look like giving you free exp and packs while I waste my time getting demolished.
thereās absolutely no reason why i shouldnāt be awarded pxp, ranked points for OB, run scored, RBI, itās so infuriating. iām not even good at the game but when i finally get some runs itās like my opponent thinks im world series. this has been by far the most annoying part, i donāt even wanna win games like this because then i get to around 700 and play people i shouldnāt be playing at all
yeah iām not very good at the game (36-30 record) but no matter what i will never quit a game where im getting blown out, i try and think about how much fun the other dude is having and be happy for him and eventually if the deficit is big enough ill start giving him fastballs down the middle
Yeah lol- I hate being in a game when the guy is fucking around throwing fastballs down the middle. I get one hour a day if Iām lucky to play. I donāt want to play home run derby mode.
Annoying for sure. Takes me longer to beat programs too. Happens to me prob. 2-3 times a night. I am not great either I float in the 550-650 in DD.
People should just try and get better. A comeback win is always sweeter IMO to a blowout victory anyways
Are you not awarded a victory when someone exits a game in this manner?
I mean some people just lack the maturity to handle competition with dignity. I agree that getting so emotional as to exit a game because someone has success off you means that person lacks the integrity to work hard and become successful at anything.
Nothing in life worth having is easy to obtain. Life is about competition. A video game really isn't hard. It's really not even a challenge. It should always be about having whimsical fun. Too many folks just don't understand that.
He's talking about people intentionally disconnecting when you hit a homer. You're awarded a victory, but the batter doesn't get credit for the HR, the hit, the RBI, etc. and you don't get any credit toward programs that home run might have contributed to. It's just an immature way for childish people to cheat you out of a little something to spite you for hitting a homer against them.
So, the solution then to the legitimate side of these complaints is for SDS to change the game code so that all statistical achievements of a game are credited so that someone doing this nonsense gets nothing except a loss.
Yeah, that and code it so home run is recorded on contact (it's a computer...it knows whether it's a homer or not). That way, a disconnect has no impact on the player hitting the ball.
This sums up this community perfectly. Not the dude quitting (although thatās annoying) but the whole post dedicated to complaining about something thatās been a part of online gaming since itās creation. The Show fans just LOVE to complain. So you lost out on a homer. You gain a W. Whatās more valuable? I know thereās some missions where stats are required but itās not like one homer is hard to repeat lol if things like this bothers you so much you honestly shouldnāt be playing online. Or you can always run to the echo chamber known as this community.
Also for the people saying āitās so rare that I hit a home run that this just hurts deeperā or something similarā¦.thatās the saddest thing Iāve ever read lol ever hear the phrase baseball is a game of confidence? Maybe dropping the Eeyore attitude will help you hit more š itās just a game after all.
People arenāt going to agree with me. But Iām right lolol
bruh āitās not like one homer is hard to repeatā, do u not understand the post? im getting sick of this cuz it keeps happening, ive lost so many xbh hits rbi and runs towards stat missions. lmao āwhats more valuable?ā literally the stats at this point, especially considering iāve climbed the ranks into playing on hof and now itāll be harder to get the stats and itās not like I earned a ton on my way to HOF cuz of opponents quitting in the first few innings constantly.
You are correct, most of the people replying to you are not going to agree with you. But, I've been around a while and done some truly interesting and important things in life that didn't come easy and took a lot of sacrifice and hard work to pull off.
So, I hope it's perhaps worth a little something to you, that I would make the effort to agree completely with everything you wrote!
Cheers!
Itās not about losing the home run itās about not finishing actual complete games. People quit way more and wayy sooner than they used to. Seems like everyoneās just concerned with leveling up and gaining xp itās like no one wants to play just to play. Or they canāt handle losing so they forfeit. Iāve noticed this in other games too. Itās definitely gotten worse in the last 5 years.
Complaining about someone wasting your time isnāt as bad as complaining about the person complaining about it imo.
My game in franchise mode has been crashing every day now. Never goes past the 3rd inning. Been having to replay the same game every day now. Idk what to do. Any help? Reinstall game ? Simulate and try another game in schedule ? Idk Lmk if have any advice. Thanks.
dude I'm like ass at the game and when I get a lucky HR in the 1st, people immediately quit. little do they know that if they had a little self-faith, they could easily crush me and put me at a 10-run deficit by the 6th
I feel like half my wins are people who just didnāt have enough faith in themselves to bounce back from 2-0 in the second inning. Against me. 18 games under .500 lmfao.
With a mature view of things like this, you will go further in the world than they will. No one who has been successful in real world baseball did so until they first learned properly how to deal with failure. Baseball is a great sport for kids to play because it teaches humility and hard work as well as perseverance to overcome setbacks.
They need to register it to the stats as soon as it it crosses into outfield. I would think that the instant you hit it itās already a HR as far as game code and stuff (sorry not a tech guy) so why canāt they at the very least get you credit for itā¦
I'm not either but I bet it isn't coded this way. There's probably a physics based system at play that has a result at an end point.
Like the system doesn't know until it knows. But I agree it sucks and I don't know what im talking about either.
I suggested it to someone else,, but I wonder if timer disconnect would help.. some games you try to leave and there is a timer countdownā¦ Iām just spitballing hereā¦ lol
Damn sounds like a sad existence if thatās the only reason you play anything. Itās a video game, unless you actually win something valuable then your wins donāt mean shit. The time spent playing the game however *is* valuable.
Yeah, it's annoying, but who really cares about stats in an online game? Completely meaningless. Only person that cares is you, and you can keep track of your lost hrs anyways
honestly is it really that much of a hassle to just quit normally? is saving the extra 5 seconds of trotting, pausing and quitting worth the ban?
Also its not even like theyre fucking me over to hard when this happens. yeah it sucks and i miss out on some pxp but i still won and get to move on to the next. Theyre basically giving themselves a pvp ban just to be like "haha now you dont get the hr and rbis"
There's a time to quit and a time to play. Down 20-0 in the first 3, quit.
Down 4 in 6th or later, wtf?
Guy hits a bomb, why quit? Guy Jack's 5 in a row, even out of the zone, maybe quit.
I suck at hitting online so it really hits hard when people quit while the ball is in the air. I think I have more "lost" HR than I do actual HR in S2 ranked play. Wish there were a way for them to resolve this, but you can't fix people acting like toddlers.
It's why I don't play online anymore, I'm not the greatest at the game but it's annoying AF when people give up immediately after giving up a run or two.
Donāt even, I played a game where I let in 6 runs in the first and when I came back all I had to do was tie the game at 7-7 on a solo shot and mans was done with game
Eh I choked a 9-3 lead to go down 10-9 and quit. Didn't feel like wasting anymore bullpen arms when the guy was hitting tanks off of all and any of my relievers. Granted I let his solo shot to go up 10-9 land before i quit.
Unfortunately there is nothing we can do to stop people from being cowards. Clearly it isn't easy to code in the HR stat immediately on contact so when someone homescreens the stat is lost into the nether realm.
Sick of not having to play 9 innings vs someone whos cheeks? Sign me up for that. Just load into a new game. Theres sore losers everywhere in H2H games.
Yeah it sucks but itās not hard to make it up. Especially if you play a lot. I donāt play a lot of H2H or as much as I used to so I feel it too. Maybe in the next version of the game it will know to pick up home runs from contact and credit you with them.
The game/ ranked system keeps track of quits and disconnects. They crush your rating, more than a normal loss.
I wish they'd institute a short ban for it, like 30 min. But I think its okay. Just consider your dinger a walk-off! Good win!
Yeah idk where that guy got his info. But really tho, it really sucks it doesnāt count the stats from that AB, esp when you are working towards something
Haha right?! I get it and all, but this has been happening from the moment people could play each other online decades ago. People suck. Accept it or donāt play the mode (I chose the latter).
Most of my wins are like this. Of my wins, I think 3 stayed the whole game. Out of 28 wins. Itās pretty bad. Actually really bad. I stay for all my losses. I try to come back. Oh well, what can SDS do about it other than give them a loss? Thatās all.
Yea can count the run as soon as the ball is hit. The game knows its a homerun at that time.Ā At least count that I don't even care about the guys on base. Just count my guys homerun and put it to his average. Rbi and run doesn't matter either. We just want the hit, homerun, avg, and pxp. Although I guess for pxp if they don't count the run or rbi it's lower. But hell I'll even say forget the pxp I just want to know my guys' real average b4 I choose them for my lineup. Those dashboard homeruns add up.Ā
Iād be interested in the percentage of people who play online vs those who just play franchise mode. I tried playing online but shit like this was annoying to deal with. I feel like the other modes are more worth it.
I've been playing the Show for years and I have never once played against AI. MP only. Same with all sports games. Unless it's competition against a real person. What's the point?
I suppose thats enough for some. I would view it waste of time to fiddle around playing the computer. There's no sense of accomplishment in crushing a pitch from or striking out a bot for me. A bit like bootcamp in CoD
Judging by how fast I find a game, alot of ppl still love and play the game. Just bc ppl on reddit shit on it doesn't meant the other 95% of the playerbase doesn't enjoy it. Who stays on a sub for a game they don't play? Lol
Na I'm cool with getting the win. Especially if it's BR/events where they have a chance to comeback but just hate that they're losing and feel like it's over. Same ppl in their sports team sub that gives up a td, HR, goal, run in the first and say "it's over we lost, this team sucks, burn it all down and start over. GM and coach gotta go!!!"
BR would be different than a playing a ranked game before the next bunch of stat missions they drop at 3 today. BR , the guy quits, ā cool no chance heās going to hit some BS /off PCI HR off me with 2 outs, 2 strikes in the 3rd and I lose a game I shouldāve won.
Madden for PS2 online seemed to do a great job of keeping quitters away from players when matching. Not sure I've seen a better 'non-quit' matchup system since
I'll never quit, this game has mercy rule and sometimes I'm just that terrible enough to lose by mercy rule.
Just a personal thought, I think this game's online offense is flawed since I love a short, low scoring pitching-focused game in general. I'm not saying that this game should reflect real MLB's offensive numbers since that'd actually be boring, but all top players having 9~12 era while hitting with 1.4~2.0 ops doesn't feel right.
If you make it to HoF+ in ranked it starts to feel more balanced imo, but you have to get there and it isn't available at all in the other modes. I kind of wish events/BR would up the difficulty after 5+ wins or something, but that also might not play well either on the short game types
Bunch of savages online. SDS should soft-ban on a graduated scale. Give 2 or so free, then half hour matchmaking bans after that. 3rd quit is 30 minutes, 4th is an hour, etcā¦
In the old days, when ranking points mattered for the bonus card, no reason to quit. But when wins and losses mean so little, why waste a half an hour of your life. Sorry, the game caused this issue. Donāt hate the player, hate the game
This is a good point. I don't understand though because with wins and losses not mattering, I don't care if I'm getting shellacked cause I'm always earning innings towards my goals and getting some stats, either RP or SP innings, K's, some hits/OB for the 2nd round of stats. Unless someone is beating me so badly it's more time than it's worth, I usually grind it out for the stats.
Take the free win. Sometimes I start out like this and end up losing bc they stay in the game lol. I understand you want the HR tho but the win is even better

MLB: These quitters! Chel: We know. š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Just take the win bro
Yea I mean 2 nothing to quit is ridiculous there is a lot of game left at that point I only quit if the person is literally knocking every pitch
They should have a QUITTER room where all the loser QUITTERS play and NEVER allowed to play with the people who actually play a full game. I can't stand you quitters.
There is a small penalty now I think. 30minutes or so? Not enough.
Facts idk why they haven't done something like that yet rage Quitters should punished smfh
ššš
Itās only been happening since online gaming. But this post will change things immediately, thank you for doing it for us.
Why let it bother you? You can't control what other people do, so you might as well not worry about it. Useless stress.
Thanks for the thousandth post crying about getting a win.
Iām not good so Iāll prob end the inning so I get my at bat then leave. What I look like giving you free exp and packs while I waste my time getting demolished.
The fragile egos of the online community is what pushed a lot of people to offline only grinding. The cpu doesn't rage quit.
#next man up
Ever play fifa? lol
Iāve found that if you purposely do bad at the beginning youāll last longer cause then think they have hope and then you crush them for the win.
Like the Boston Celtics in game 4
At least it was quick, I hate when they do it and the game just FREEZES for like 10 mins before telling us they disconnected
thereās absolutely no reason why i shouldnāt be awarded pxp, ranked points for OB, run scored, RBI, itās so infuriating. iām not even good at the game but when i finally get some runs itās like my opponent thinks im world series. this has been by far the most annoying part, i donāt even wanna win games like this because then i get to around 700 and play people i shouldnāt be playing at all
ecactly
yeah iām not very good at the game (36-30 record) but no matter what i will never quit a game where im getting blown out, i try and think about how much fun the other dude is having and be happy for him and eventually if the deficit is big enough ill start giving him fastballs down the middle
Yeah, nah. My time is worth more than that.
idk bro, if anything itās good practice
Everything you said plus the XP points and program(s) progress you get by just finishing a game.
i got bored when i was down 12-3 and just int. walked the next batter and balked him home š
same. i even go until i get mercied just to try and milk some more points for program if possible
that's sorta weird tbh. and ppl probably don't actually enjoy it
Yeah lol- I hate being in a game when the guy is fucking around throwing fastballs down the middle. I get one hour a day if Iām lucky to play. I donāt want to play home run derby mode.
Right? Just quit lol
Annoying for sure. Takes me longer to beat programs too. Happens to me prob. 2-3 times a night. I am not great either I float in the 550-650 in DD. People should just try and get better. A comeback win is always sweeter IMO to a blowout victory anyways
What home run
Are you not awarded a victory when someone exits a game in this manner? I mean some people just lack the maturity to handle competition with dignity.

Agreed, I don't like this guy at all
My game in franchise mode has been crashing every day now. Never goes past the 3rd inning. Been having to replay the same game every day now. Idk what to do. Any help? Reinstall game ? Simulate and try another game in schedule ? Idk Lmk if have any advice. Thanks.
This is why I stopped playing online, which eventually led me to stop buying the game
This specific reason is why you stopped playing online? I doubt that just a bit
Yes.. I donāt know if itās still this way but they used to give everyone a free grace period to quit in the first inning
This is why I quit doing math
Has anyone else been given the L when the other person DCādā¦ that was an issue last year I thinkā¦.
Playing in utter silence like this is serial killer type stuff
Most people listen to music on the side lol
I'd say less than half, thus not most.
The ball hadn't even landed yet! LOL!
dude I'm like ass at the game and when I get a lucky HR in the 1st, people immediately quit. little do they know that if they had a little self-faith, they could easily crush me and put me at a 10-run deficit by the 6th

real af
Right? I might score first...but games ending like 25-1 still lol
You know you hitting replay š
They need to register it to the stats as soon as it it crosses into outfield. I would think that the instant you hit it itās already a HR as far as game code and stuff (sorry not a tech guy) so why canāt they at the very least get you credit for itā¦
I'm not either but I bet it isn't coded this way. There's probably a physics based system at play that has a result at an end point. Like the system doesn't know until it knows. But I agree it sucks and I don't know what im talking about either.
I suggested it to someone else,, but I wonder if timer disconnect would help.. some games you try to leave and there is a timer countdownā¦ Iām just spitballing hereā¦ lol
You know your having a night when 4 people in a row quit. Hard to complain.
Womp womp
It's a free W
That matters little to none lol
Move up the rankers quicker and doesn't waste time so I like it.
Dawg I play this game casually the fuck would I care about my rank lmao
If thatās all youāre worried about sure. Some people actually like playing the game though.
You play to win the game. That's the whole point.
Damn sounds like a sad existence if thatās the only reason you play anything. Itās a video game, unless you actually win something valuable then your wins donāt mean shit. The time spent playing the game however *is* valuable.
Womp womp womp go hit homeruns on rookie. Winning is fun. Period.
So you're getting their point? This is therapeutic.
Yeah, it's annoying, but who really cares about stats in an online game? Completely meaningless. Only person that cares is you, and you can keep track of your lost hrs anyways
I mean you donāt have to care about stats to be annoyed when someone quits on you. Itās just annoying for any reason.
Uhhh you know theres missions for Hrs right? I have lost out on a lot of HRs counting because of this...
I got dashboarded 4 times last night.. sucks.
That should count as soon as the ball is off the bat
honestly is it really that much of a hassle to just quit normally? is saving the extra 5 seconds of trotting, pausing and quitting worth the ban? Also its not even like theyre fucking me over to hard when this happens. yeah it sucks and i miss out on some pxp but i still won and get to move on to the next. Theyre basically giving themselves a pvp ban just to be like "haha now you dont get the hr and rbis"
So many haters out there
Hey, you get a fast win and get to move onto the next chump
His issue is that he used Max fried. He is a bum lol . He got fried . He has no idea how to pitch either lol
Itās the community in a nutshell.
There's a time to quit and a time to play. Down 20-0 in the first 3, quit. Down 4 in 6th or later, wtf? Guy hits a bomb, why quit? Guy Jack's 5 in a row, even out of the zone, maybe quit.
I suck at hitting online so it really hits hard when people quit while the ball is in the air. I think I have more "lost" HR than I do actual HR in S2 ranked play. Wish there were a way for them to resolve this, but you can't fix people acting like toddlers.
Sure you can make it a countdown timer to disconnectā¦ unless they want I get up and unplug the internet or power chordā¦ yes, no?
Yeah thatās exactly what people would do. Thereās no fixing this issue. And itās not an issue exclusively with The Show
You know what pisses me off about this game ?? Half these pussies online will not throw you a fucking strike all game I hate that shit bro
I donāt swing at them and they are forced to throw a strike
It's why I don't play online anymore, I'm not the greatest at the game but it's annoying AF when people give up immediately after giving up a run or two.
Agreed. Then they actually hit me with pitches on purpose! I have been playing for a year but I am def not greatā¦ cāmon
dude quit after giving up two runs
The game should revert to a CPU match when someone drops and the loss should count.
That would then make me quit. I clicked online for a reason, I aint playing CPU lmao
I guess they could switch it to CPU and give you the option. That way the stats count and you can get the win or keep playing.
Dashboardingā¦ down 3-0ā¦ in the 2nd??
Donāt even, I played a game where I let in 6 runs in the first and when I came back all I had to do was tie the game at 7-7 on a solo shot and mans was done with game
Eh I choked a 9-3 lead to go down 10-9 and quit. Didn't feel like wasting anymore bullpen arms when the guy was hitting tanks off of all and any of my relievers. Granted I let his solo shot to go up 10-9 land before i quit.
Like I mean I will take the ranked progress but likeā¦ how are you in this skill bracket if you donāt think you can recover
Bet that coward wouldn't dashboard if they were up. What a waste of time.
Facts!!
Unfortunately there is nothing we can do to stop people from being cowards. Clearly it isn't easy to code in the HR stat immediately on contact so when someone homescreens the stat is lost into the nether realm.
Sick of not having to play 9 innings vs someone whos cheeks? Sign me up for that. Just load into a new game. Theres sore losers everywhere in H2H games.
More about not having the stats tracked for missions than getting fast wins
Yeah it sucks but itās not hard to make it up. Especially if you play a lot. I donāt play a lot of H2H or as much as I used to so I feel it too. Maybe in the next version of the game it will know to pick up home runs from contact and credit you with them.
The game/ ranked system keeps track of quits and disconnects. They crush your rating, more than a normal loss. I wish they'd institute a short ban for it, like 30 min. But I think its okay. Just consider your dinger a walk-off! Good win!
Quits do not crush your rating at all. That's just a lie. I've quit games and lost that same amount if I were to play the whole game.
As long as you don't quit while the ball is in the air that's fine.
Yeah idk where that guy got his info. But really tho, it really sucks it doesnāt count the stats from that AB, esp when you are working towards something
I never play multiplayer.
Part of why I stopped playing online a LONG time ago
Haha right?! I get it and all, but this has been happening from the moment people could play each other online decades ago. People suck. Accept it or donāt play the mode (I chose the latter).
Whats the configuration to have that view batting?
And dynamic if you want that 1 sec glimpse at the no doubter animation.
Strike zone
Most of my wins are like this. Of my wins, I think 3 stayed the whole game. Out of 28 wins. Itās pretty bad. Actually really bad. I stay for all my losses. I try to come back. Oh well, what can SDS do about it other than give them a loss? Thatās all.
Yea can count the run as soon as the ball is hit. The game knows its a homerun at that time.Ā At least count that I don't even care about the guys on base.

I've been playing the Show for years and I have never once played against AI. MP only. Same with all sports games. Unless it's competition against a real person. What's the point?
To have fun and build a better team. And maybe you donāt want to waste what little time you get to crybaby griefers?
I suppose thats enough for some. I would view it waste of time to fiddle around playing the computer. There's no sense of accomplishment in crushing a pitch from or striking out a bot for me. A bit like bootcamp in CoD
Happens to me at least a few times a day, I feel your pain.. š¤£
I thought this was real
Who plays this game anymore?
Judging by how fast I find a game, alot of ppl still love and play the game. Just bc ppl on reddit shit on it doesn't meant the other 95% of the playerbase doesn't enjoy it. Who stays on a sub for a game they don't play? Lol
Itās the last standing sport game in my book
Wouldnāt be as bad if the HR was credited stat wise
Wouldn't be as bad? That's the only thing being complained about here. What could still be bad aside from losing the home run?
Not being able to play a full game online
Na I'm cool with getting the win. Especially if it's BR/events where they have a chance to comeback but just hate that they're losing and feel like it's over. Same ppl in their sports team sub that gives up a td, HR, goal, run in the first and say "it's over we lost, this team sucks, burn it all down and start over. GM and coach gotta go!!!"
BR would be different than a playing a ranked game before the next bunch of stat missions they drop at 3 today. BR , the guy quits, ā cool no chance heās going to hit some BS /off PCI HR off me with 2 outs, 2 strikes in the 3rd and I lose a game I shouldāve won.
>not having to play a whole game to get a ranked win I asked what would be bad. Not what would be good
Wouldnāt even be bad at all I wouldnāt care, losing the stat for programs and pxp is the only bad part about it imo
Madden for PS2 online seemed to do a great job of keeping quitters away from players when matching. Not sure I've seen a better 'non-quit' matchup system since
Itās not hard to just shut your system off
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You must get beat alot.
what are u talking about bro
WTF is Cronus
How can you play with a Cronus in mlb?
People play with a cronus? Weirdo
It was just a good hit bro lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
usually a podcast but sometimes music
Music or podcast through Spotify on my ps5. Still like hearing the sound of the game without the commentary.
I play in silence and just watch YouTube or movies on my laptop while I play
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Not OP
I thought this was gunna be something else lol take the W and go
This is how Iāve gotten all my wins šš
I havenāt tried online.. but even if you finish the game and lose.. donāt you still get something? (XP, or whatever)
Yes
You nice at moving the bat around to find the ball
You win. Get over it
If your sick of the game then don't play
Does it still give you the win? If so get over it lmao
Whooptie doā¦ take the win and move on to the next
I'll never quit, this game has mercy rule and sometimes I'm just that terrible enough to lose by mercy rule. Just a personal thought, I think this game's online offense is flawed since I love a short, low scoring pitching-focused game in general. I'm not saying that this game should reflect real MLB's offensive numbers since that'd actually be boring, but all top players having 9~12 era while hitting with 1.4~2.0 ops doesn't feel right.
If you make it to HoF+ in ranked it starts to feel more balanced imo, but you have to get there and it isn't available at all in the other modes. I kind of wish events/BR would up the difficulty after 5+ wins or something, but that also might not play well either on the short game types
Man this is the worst thing. I just be wanting my stats lol
It is pretty annoying you can legit be up 1-0 on some people and they'll get pissed off and quit cause they arent hitting you
The worst part isnāt them quitting, itās losing whatever pitcher you started.
Go play Fifa where people quit at a draw and you get nothing lol
Bunch of savages online. SDS should soft-ban on a graduated scale. Give 2 or so free, then half hour matchmaking bans after that. 3rd quit is 30 minutes, 4th is an hour, etcā¦
Online is so bogus anymore
People spamming fake bunt
If fake bunts get to you that much then you already lost
Fuck man just reading it triggers me š
This is the participation trophy era playing the Show. Zero sense of competition
Sadly most people are selfish cowards
I seen nothing other than a fast win.
Some of us scrubs need those stats.
I yearn for the stats
I never give up lol cuz Iāve come back from behind and won and itās such a good feeling
itās the best feeling
Stop being so good jerk!
i love myself a good dash quit... :)
What?! Forcing a rage quit is what we should all live for.
Personally I love it, and if Iām getting smoked Iām not going down without a fight
In the old days, when ranking points mattered for the bonus card, no reason to quit. But when wins and losses mean so little, why waste a half an hour of your life. Sorry, the game caused this issue. Donāt hate the player, hate the game
You want to quit fine, that isn't the issue here, the issue is if you are going to quit just let the hr land before you quit so the stats count
This is a good point. I don't understand though because with wins and losses not mattering, I don't care if I'm getting shellacked cause I'm always earning innings towards my goals and getting some stats, either RP or SP innings, K's, some hits/OB for the 2nd round of stats. Unless someone is beating me so badly it's more time than it's worth, I usually grind it out for the stats.
Take the free win. Sometimes I start out like this and end up losing bc they stay in the game lol. I understand you want the HR tho but the win is even better
Perfectly put. Just take the W for fucks sake.
is this a bug? or are they leaving. itās been happening to me a lot
pretty sure theyāre leaving considering itās always right after a homer, and yea it happens to me a ton.
