I'm over it.

After reading A&S's blog, I really wanted to give online a go this year. But as of now I'm hearing way too many horror stories.

I would not give up that easy. I have had mostly a great time online. 7/10 has been a pleasure. It's those 3 that can tick you off.....but I don't care about my online record in the end.

It's about playing good baseball. If I get a moron.....I will drop him like a bad habit.

Screw them.

I can relate to this so much.

I love the head to head style, but sometimes you need a break from it because it can be so frustrating playing idiots.

People shouldn't get over it. If you run into people like this exploiting a bug in the game, let people know. Make a bug report and post about it. If the devs don't know the concerns of the community how do they know what to look at and see if it needs to be fixed?

I have to make the post of shame....


I ran into a guy last night who bunted around 25 times during the game, and probably 5-10 consecutive times at one point.

I would field the ball, use a bunt defense, pitch around him, and I still couldn't make an out because the fielding animations were just too slow.



I don't know if you remember, but I was the guy who was saying "just learn how to field bunts!!!1!!!" last week.

I clearly never encountered a true "bunter" until last night, and I can now agree with you 100%. That **** is lame as hell.


Ruined the game for me. There was nothing I could do.

As much as people say "Don't let a few idiots ruin the experience"... there are a lot of idiots who will do anything to win. These people don't care about the game, they simply want to say they have an incredible record, and it doesn't matter how they accomplish that. If they have to bunt 27 times- they will. If they have to glitch the game- they will. They just want a damn near perfect record just to say they did. They want to climb up the leaderboard.

Would I like a great record? Obviously. But I would rather have a .500 record and play with integrity and enjoy a good game. Unless I'm missing something, you don't win anything in real life by being highly rated in an online video game, so why can't people just stop being petty?

Is this type of **** happening on the higher end of ppl that play this game or the lower end. I'd be very interested to know bc right now I'm 41-26 all in online games with the exception of 2 maybe with a rating of 1606. I say this because I'm all those games I've maybe run into 3-5 ppl bunting bc it's glitched out. Don't get me wrong once in a while I will lay down a bunt with ellsbury if I'm stuggling to get **** going but I'll do that maybe 1 in 6 games.

Someone mentioned it already, but it's fine when it happens in FIFA at you're out 20 minutes. Having this happen in a 45-60 minute game is awful and the reason I've only played two games online.

It is pretty sad what some people will do for a win. Luckily after about 10 h2h games, I haven't experienced any funny business. Of those 10 games, the problem I've been having is with the players I call "beany babies", who will bean your players constantly once they're down a few runs. That annoys the heck out of me! You would think some fair play rules would be in effect, where after 5 consecutive bean balls the player gets kicked for griefing.
