Why does Online Gaming bring out worst in people

[ODogg]

If you want to find good random folks to play here's a tip - play UNRANKED games. I've found a bunch of great games in unranked games and since there is no W on the line people won't mind taking Syracuse vs. Virginia instead of the Ohio States and Texases of the world.

In fact, a lot of people i've met in UNRANKED are the guys that end up in leagues I run.

Oh and one more tip, only play people with headsets. If someone has to talk to you then they are much more accountable. When you're playing someone and it's silent, you almost begin to feel as if you're playing the computer and it doesn't matter what you do. When you're conversing with someone though it affects how you actually play.

Follow these two tips and you'll have much, MUCH better random online game sessions.

i think your right maybe unranked will be better, i like to look at my stats but there is minimal stat tracking in ranked.

Im on PS3 by the way,

Thanks, just not sure what turns people into jerks. Like they have to run up the score

Unranked players usually play more fair but once you get up 7 and get a pick or get up 14 or stop them on a 4th down around 60-70% of them quit. At least in my experience.

Odogg is right about headsets.

It's like that in online ranked games too. I just wish you could finish games people quit against the computer. But thats another thread in and of itself.

Really? I find its much less common in ranked. Since they actually have something to lose most people will keep playing until they know its over. Most of the time thats not until the 2nd half, unless they suck.

Things like this remind me why I only play people that are on my friend's list.
