    I'm over it.

    So I've had a bit of a losing streak... 8 games in a row. Anyways, I was just playing a game, and my opponent brought in his relievers after one batter- and no, it wasn't his DD created guy. He used a different reliever every inning. No big deal, I was able to score 3 runs- which for me recently is a lot lol.

    So the game goes into the 14th inning, tied 3-3. Since he used all of his pitchers, he had his final guy at almost 100 pitches by the 14th. I started off the inning with a walk then a 2 run home run. Bam! I'm excited, I might win for the first time in days!!!

    And then... he requested a friendly quit... um, no thanks. If it was ta tie game, I would have done it because we were playing for 90 minutes and I understand if you have something to do. Then he started purposely missing pop-ups, ground outs, etc.

    He kept doing these things until finally it blue-screened and I got the loss. This isn't right. I understand that bugs and glitches happen, but this ain't right. It's BS that a user can completely knowingly glitch a game to that point.

      Re: I'm over it.

      And this is why I've decided to not play randoms online. It's one thing losing 12-14 minutes of your life to a FIFA cheeser, it's entirely another to lose 90 in this game.

      It's a shame too. 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'm not quite sure, but when I deny him a friendly quit right after I hit a go ahead home run and then he purposely starts not making catches and running around in the outfield in circles purposely to keep the play going for 2-3 minutes... And then suddenly it blue screens and he gets the win? There's something shady about that.

        It would be one thing if he was trying to get me out and it blue screened, but I have a very strong feeling that he was trying to bug the game out somehow. I was only up 2 runs and he was the home team.. He could have tied the game up, but instead purposely ran in circles with his center fielder so he wouldn't have to catch the ball. If he wanted the game out over he wouldn't have done that- he would have quit/conceded or just got me out

          this is going to appear sarcastic but it isn't: you don't seem to be over it as you suggest.

          And in fact the best solution is to get over it.
          There will always be douches in online sports gaming, it's part of it.
          You can't change attitudes sometimes all you can do is just move on.

          I don't think that player was exercising any sort of glitch, he was just being a moron, because you refused the FQ.
          My guess is what happened after is coincidental and benefited him in the end, just dumb "luck".
          In any case, get over it :wink:

            You shouldn't believe everything you hear. These opponents are rare.

            I've played about 20 games now and all my opponents have been nothing but class. Messaging each other good game after each match and all that good stuff.

              Could be just bad luck, but who knows. Either way, I actually am (somewhat) over it. I'll be taking a break from head to head, and instead just play the CPU for a while.

                  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.
