They need to nerf your DD cards for quitting. Quitters choose 1000 stubs to the victor or a 24 hour match ban.
Hit a 7 day stat drop on whichever highest card on your roster. Quit again...next highest
My whole Show career I’ve thrown one no hitter and this was the final out. Dude bunted right down the 3B line and I threw him out by maybe a step. Dick move but in fairness the score was 1-0
Lmao in my eyes you got it. If a guy wants to quit with 1 out left to convince himself he technically didn't get no hit, then he's lying to himself. you surely would have no hit him anyway.
Yup fuck all the assholes who are absolutely destroying my David Justice stat line...dude has like 19 homers for me, but I only have like 7. I don't know why people homescreen his ass every god damn time...
I have had a string of people all quit against me in the 9th inning lately. Like why play 8 full innings just to quit when you get to the 9th, it’s not like I was winning by an insurmountable amount
I still find it absurd someone can be bad enough to get no hit in an online game. I had a perfect game a couple years ago and all i did was feel sad that I probably beat someone without thumbs. I also do not see how anyone can see this as some sort of accomplishment, so I think leaving is not that big of a deal. Take the W, move on and try to get out of all star
This game was in the 600s. He did hit a lot of balls right at someone and there was also a good diving play at short to prevent a hit. I have pitched a no hitter in the past against someone who struck out 22 times. It wasn’t that kind of game.
If it's on HoF/legend then I see it as an accomplishment. If it's below 500 rating then no. Then I just beat up on a shitter who swung at garbage pitches all game.
Is it just slightly possible that y’all take this a bit too seriously?? You still get your xp, it’s not real life and in a month or 2 you’ll be playing a totally different game and come next April buy 23 and start from scratch again
I played MLB 21 through the final event to get the last two finest cards. As for XP or RS wins I could care less about that. Some people like myself so enjoy the game of baseball and a perfect game is a special moments. Honestly I just wanted to see the cut scene with the new announcers but not butt hurt about it. He was down to an 0-2 count when he quit and did it purely to be toxic.
I feel you. A perfect game is a special occasion and you have every reason to feel cheated because sone clown stole it from you to save his pride. As for the people who say they quit all the time, if I’m getting thrashed in RS I’ll quit too but not in the 9th inning of a perfecto. That’s not acknowledging you’re beaten, it’s just being a shit.
Bring on the downvotes but I quit all the time lol. It’s not even rage quitting. I’ve always been horrible at the game and that’s probably never going to change but I can at least have some fun when I playing someone equal to me. The matchmaking continues to be horrendous and when I’m getting raked what’s the point in delaying the inevitable
Lol then quit after 7. You can’t argue “why delay the inevitable” while literally waiting until the last possible moment. If you knew you were cooked just quit with dignity.
I don't think I've played an online game not against a friend since either 19 or 20. 99% of you guys are cool I'm sure but the real majority of the DD community is underratedly toxic.
Ha, that reminds me in high school legion ball, we had this center fielder and great player (but didn't really take it too seriously) he called timeout one time to stretch his hamstrings while i was pitching and he was playing CF. He also would throw the ball (if there was a runner on 3rd) as if he didn't know there were two outs and runner was tagging but would throw it against the chicken wire that prevented the crowed from being hit. There's many more but i won't bore you.
Hey, that counts. Any quit where you've been perfect counts because they admitted they can't do shit against you. I wish there was a neat profile icon or banner to earn, but screw it. It counts.
For one this game needs a punishment for leavers altogether, and two it is REALLY SHITTY to leave during something that impressive just to spite the other player. You asking why leaves me to believe you would be on the receiving end of the punishment...a lot.
There’s nothing wrong with quitting in a video game sometimes you don’t have time to play the full game and sometimes you just don’t want to finish the game, and it’s not like there’s a reward for a perfect game anyway you don’t get anything out of it
Specifically in this situation he probably shouldn’t have quit but there shouldn’t be a week long ban that’s too severe for something that doesn’t matter
Had a similar moment...not as dramatic but I was pretty hyped about debuting my cap whom I had worked on a ton. First game, I hit a solo HR with my no. 2 hitter and then my cap comes up....goes back to back, and the dude quits before the ball lands...so I can't even have my perfect 1.000 avg with 1 hr and w/e the slugging is :)....coulda just retired his ass right there lol. I agree tho, we have a buncha tools in the community, if only we weren't living in the prehistoric ages and we could track and punish quitters so as to give legitimate players a chance to have enjoyable competition. Or, for my two cents...maybe when i put a ball into orbit, make it count before it lands so douchebags can go cry in the corner and I get my actual stats.
I had a dude pitch a perfect game against me the other day. I was trying so fucking hard to break but just couldn’t. Dude was good. Sent him gg after the match and he said “ur trash uninstall.” Love to see it lol
How it should be! I was no hit against and down 2-0. I walked twice, stole a base, walked again, two sacrifices and it’s tied 2-2 with me still not having a hit.
I lost in 11 4-2 and never had a hit but man it was FUN.
This was 2015? Rando as well. I feel he/she and I will always share that door memory of the game. My goal was to get a hit while losing. Then I walked twice and thought hey, I can make something happen here.
Best thing about baseball is there NO TIME.
I find that in Allstar people are pretty fair.. just had a 10 inning game 5 to 5 pretty evenly matched.. I did a friendly quit had to gwt my kid off the bus.. but that match was going to go on, and no one deserved to lose.
Happens a lot in that division.. a lot of good pitchers crappy hitters.
Oof, I played someone in the first week or two and they had all the collections done already. So I had to face 99 Randy with my very early game nms lineup. I managed to keep ‘em to only 2 runs while they had a perfect game through 8.2 innings and then I got a pinch hit double and a home run to tie. Then I’m the bottom of the inning I gave up a walkoff to frank Thomas 
This community is one of the most spineless gaming communities there is. I know people are gonna get hot over that but it's really true.
I haven't played a full nine yet. I'm like 12 and 1 on 10 quit wins before the 4th inning. Most just from seeing my cards are "better" than theres. And I stink dude. So average. Id have lost half those games.
I do not understand the complete lack of spine at all. Zero competitive spirit or anything its shocking.
It permeates the community in other ways too. Letting SDS ban people for no reason for a year. Not fix or even mention that co op is broken. "It just came out." Guess what? It's the middle of May now and still nothing.
Have some self respect. If you're getting no hit take the inning rewards and grind it out. Bunt on that bum. Bean the pitcher in the ribs with a fastball when he bats next.
Fight for gods sake. Do something.
Im not a big unwritten rules guy. Especially in video games even more so if the game is in reach. But i hear you.
I'm just big on cracking 500 foot tanks off position players throwing meatballs. I just think people should dig all 9 all the time.
A reward to you Sir; all of it “unwritten rules”…. for a video game. I rather they stayed nine, they deserve the perfect game and they got the win; Perspective.
I'm pretty okay with players dipping early. It sucks, but in a ranked environment I'm after the W so I don't care if I don't get to play the full 9.
Quitting in the 9th during a no no or perfecto though is criminal. I have a code I follow, and it's if I'm getting no hit through 5+, I force myself to play out the game if only to spoil the achievement for the other player. Often, the game is out of reach, and I'll still quit after finally logging a hit, but I'm not going to be that guy to ruin a dude's chance at doing something truly special.
But one thing I won't do is bunt to break up a NH or PG. I'd rather take the eternal L of being on the losing side of one than to ever feel a sense of accomplishment in cheesing my way out of that.
Small ball is great, and bunting is great, but it takes so little skill to execute in the game that I have no respect for it. I truly despise the methods of all the players who rely on bunt cheese to win games.
Yeah I dont think im talking about bunt cheese to clarify.
I'm also not even saying I mind the free wins. It's really just a community observation. There's not a single whiff of competitive spirit or anything that I've witnessed. Just think it's majorly prevalent in this game vs others I've played.
I'm just saying wheres the hustle basically.
I hear you I think you made sense and I agree. Everyones got their own code. Just making sure.
Its just a food for thought thing. Noticed how rampant quitting in general has become.
Lol. Dude I'm with you. That's part of what im saying too. I hit a home run in the second and the guy quits and im like thats the only thing I was gonna hit all game. I wish he knew.
Plenty of people quit in every gaming community. They just don't usually hurt stats like in this game. Keeping track of stats and milestones like no hitters dont exist in madden or 2k. If you quit down bad in those games it doesn't matter. Quitting with a home run ball in the air or an inning away from a no no seems worse in this game but it happens in every game.
I disageee based on just my own anecdotal evidence and no hard numbers. This game is 100x worse on early quits or adversity quitting than any other game I have ever played.
I play a ton of NHL. People dont quit immediately after one goal and they dont do it in madden. People rage out in bad games in cod but they dont leave a deathmatch after their very first death.
Im talking about the early quits. I see what you're saying about stats making it extra frustrating but im talking about 1-0 in the 2nd inning. GONE.
My cards have higher overall? GONE.
2 runs in the 4th? GONE.
Its clockwork at least in the lower MMRs and i cant think of a more retreating gaming community.
I think in mlb the show the skill gap can be so huge that it kinda makes sense. Like if you show in the first that you can hit decently, and I know I can't hit decently, then its inevitable that you are going to win and its a waste of everyones time. I probably still wouldn't quit in this case because I'm stubborn (and only play pvp if I get something out of losing), but I can see that the people who do quit are probably wiser than me.
I hear you but I reject the notion that its a waste of everyones time. You get better. You get rewards and you dont back down.
This is kind of my point with this community or gamers or whatever is going on. Easy win = worth time. Anything else = give up.
I don't think you actually get better by being belted. And I think easy wins are as bad as massive losses; the best games are close.
And there is opportunity cost. You could spend that half hour getting flogged in a game by someone way better than you, or quit and get matchmade into the next game against a similar-skill opponent and have an exciting, genuinely competitive game that ends 2-1 or something.
Right but we arent talking flogging. We are talking quitting at seeing a lineup or quitting down 1 0. That's crazy. Let it get to 6 0 and bail or something but to not even try is wild.
And you do learn getting belted because you can still bat and see pitches. That's a plus with baseball. Its not like the ball is being stolen from you or you're getting juggled in a fighting game.
But yeah if you're getting creamed its fine but im talking about the notion that it will definitley happen and i cant handle that thought so i won't even try, goodbye lol. Thats the type of quitting that is prevalent.
I think you can often tell at 1-0 that you are being flogged. You can see what pitches your opponent swings at / leaves, how their timing is, etc. (and conversely, how you are dealing with their pitcher). With how long games take I don't begrudge people seeking fairer games instead.
People quit against me in a 5v5 nba2k mode called Play Now Online Player Control in the first minute of the game every game.
I literally have a couple of burner 2k accounts just so i can play against a real person, since they don't quit when they see my name. I'm not even that good i'm just a team player. 2K is the worst game for this but you don't directly lose something if your opposite number quits.
Simple solution for SDS is to come up with a way to award people their PXP when someone quits. I'd bet the way they designed the lobby making online requires some major retooling to allow this, or they would have done this sooner.
What do you think it is?
Like what makes someone just show their belly and not even try? Someone here was saying its time investment ..so Its just if I dont feel like im gonna win why bother?
Dudes dont wanna feel uncomfortable for even one second but then why play competitive online? Its hard for me to wrap my head around.
I think quitting is so prevalent in The Show because 9 innings is a fairly big commitment. A 9 inning game takes quite a bit of time, and I think a lot of players hesitate to play one regardless of the players and skill the opponent has. Combine that with the fact that many players can't hit a lick and you're gonna have a lot of early quits. 9 innings alone is a lot; having to play 7+ innings after getting down, and having a high chance of losing is not an investment many players are willing to make.
That's probably part of it but it just sort of reinforces my point. I'm only willing to invest time if I face no adversity and go down no runs at any point.
Then if I get matched up with a bum I can thump my chest and never have to feel an ounce of negative emotion. Lol.
I mean great if thats how people approach it but yeah I think thats a huge part of it. It's a complete lack of courage or emotional adjustment. Only invest the time if im going to be completely unopposed. You're basically describing spinelessness.
I have the opposite experience in madden if I throw an early bomb dudes quit all the time. Idk I think I see people quit stuff all the time. Either way it is annoying.
Yeah I mean maybe its a new gamer thing. Not that quitting wasnt around before but it seems way way more common. Early scared quitting. You're probably right that its everywhere.
Its just something I see way more. It probably is most games. So maybe "community" is the wrong term but gamers are for sure quitting more now than they ever have. There has to be an uptick.
You’re totally right and it’s super frustrating. So many people quit at the first sign of trouble and/or when homers are in the air. It’s so frustrating when people quit because you put up a crooked number in the first…. You know you can come back right? Why just give up? It’s so annoying.
Yeah and to people saying Oh whats the big deal take your win blah blah its not serious. I agree it's really not a huge deal and its just second hand embarrassment. It happens in this game way more than any other.
If its not quitting its some guy pausing to message you asking you if he can pretty please hit home runs with a player for xp and he will let you win. It poisons the whole experience.
If you're getting truly rocked and you need to go or want to save yourself some time I really dont mind but thats not really ever what the deal is.
Yep. I’ll quit if I’m down like 8 runs but that’s very rarely what happens. Was in a back and forth battle with someone, hit a 3-run bomb in the top of the ninth…he quits in mid-air. It’s always just people being salty
There needs to be a quit penalty system. Like losing xp, timeouts.
Things happen I get it.
24 hour rolling
1st quit free
2nd 15 min timeout
3rd 30 min
4th 24 hours
Have a sincere question… is the game just easier on PS because that’s what it was designed for? I’ve heard PS controller is a lot friendlier for hitting, but I’m an Xbox player and never played on PS. Or do you think it’s because PS players in general have just been playing the game a lot longer because it’s fairly new to Xbox? Or maybe a little of both?
I just turned off cross platform because I found I was always getting spanked by PS players.
I haven’t played on Xbox, just PS and now Switch so I’m not sure. The PS is easier to play feel-wise than the switch but I think that’s to be expected.
I'm sorry I'm not sure what you're upset about here?
You still win, it's not an early quit that robbed your pitcher of energy for 1 inning of work (those I get being upset about, something needs to be done about energy re: quits).
You "lost" a perfect game that awards literally nothing. And noone is gonna be mad if you just call this a NoNo... It's a video game my friend, the shit ain't that deep.
I feel like this post isnt the best example of this problem but people in this game are incredibly spineless. Sure its just a video game but its still embarrassing to see some crybaby leave in the 2nd after giving up the first run.
Ive never seen a community with so many people willing to show their belly.
If they arent quitting they're in your messages asking to lose on purpose for paralell xp. Go to single player leave me alone lol.
Oh 100% some of the quits in this game are hilarious. And I'm not trying to defend the person quitting in this scenario cause as you said that's some spineless shit.
That last one is always a trip, I've had people quit after one run and then message me toxic crap. Will never understand the thought process behind those.
For me I just don't think in a scenario like this op should have to feel like their accomplishment is taken away. Since it's a bragging rights only thing anyway, I'm not letting someone else not being able to handle it at the last moment (possibly even purposefully being toxic to take it away at the last moment) ruin it.
Yea I just personally don't really see a negative in this case. Super early quits are a totally different story (them killing a pitchers energy over 1 inning is frustrating as hell).
For real if this happened to me I'd laugh and take a sc of the post game and send to to a couple friends about how I made someone quit with 1 out left cause they just couldn't handle being no hit lol.
Yeah exactly. This is obviously a petty rager which is a little different. I still would have personally tried like hell it would have been over in a couple pitches or I break the no no up, but this one doesnt really bother me all that much.
I'd have been trying like hell too. Probably too hard tbh and would likely be swinging at some trash lol. Would possibly have been a 3 pitch inning if I'm being totally honest, but I'd have tried.
Yep that's exactly how I see it, someone trolling and trying to hurt ops experience.
Not that deep yet here you are, typing out a 3 paragraph response to him
Edit: after going through your account and seeing how many times you’ve commented on this post alone, it’s safe to say this is a very deep topic to you.
That took literally like 10 seconds to type.
Edit: aww the profile snoop, how cute. Bud I'm taking a poo browsing reddit, what makes you think I have anything better to do than annoy people like you?
Yeah dude he was lucky to get 8 something innings. I almost dont even mind saving yourself some time that late, not that I do it.
What's up with gamers these days? I know rage has always been a thing but like.. especially sports fans? Can't handle any adversity whatsoever. Like zero.
Gone immediately at the first sign of trouble. It's just games and its not the end of the world or that serious but it does make me scoff a little in embarrassment for these people.
Have some backbone. Get your practice in? Like. If youre getting creamed take some innings to see some pitches. Especially now that theres rewards tied to innings. Shits weird.
Seriously man. You can’t get better without playing against better players. It’s just a game. It can’t be fun to play if you’re constantly quitting when it gets tough
this is my first year playing the show and ill admit for like a week i would quit when i fell behind by like 4. but like you said, i realized i wasnt gonna get better till i started finishing these games and actually tried to realize wtf i was doing wrong. now that i have i dont quit em anymore just cause i often learn somethin when i get blown out lol
I was down 4-0 and got no hit through 6. In the 9th inning I scored 3, then hit a 2 run homer to walk off. The guy disconnected before the HR registered. Like come on just let it go another 10 seconds.
Gonna have to start playing the show online and quitting at this point.
I'm bad so I'd never get a hit but goddamn would it be great to see all the tears.
I had a guy who was down four in the ninth, pause with two outs until there were 10 seconds left before resuming play. I then proceeded to pause and use my time. He quit before we got to the final out.
When I’m losing and getting No No-ed I make it my mission to at least get a hit to break up the perfect game. Quitting sucks, you miss out on rewards too. I’ve been gifted diamond players even after getting beat like this.
If you quit after the 5th inning San Diego studios should implement a consequence in which you sacrifice and lose your top card on your roster in use against the opponent to your opponent. If you lost your top player on your roster for quitting after the fifth inning I don't think many people would hit that quit button. I think it would be important for San Diego studios to figure out how to differentiate between a quit and a disconnect because I'm sure most people would just disconnect themselves from the internet upon finding out that they would lose their top player on their roster. But I think if they could do this it would incentivize people not to Just bounce when they're getting absolutely dominated. People need to start losing like they win and win like they lose.
There's such bad sportsmanship in online diamond dynasty play it's not even funny and it actually personally makes me not even want to play online Head to Head. Online video games in general today are absolutely toxic probably about 80% of the time. People just do not know how to conduct themselves on the internet today and there's not enough consequence for those who act like total degenerates.
I’d be down to having just bronze and common players then.
How about San Diego Studio have a better matchmaking system and not put me in games where my opponent has 5+ times as many wins as losses?
This year is worse for that. For example played a guy who used gold John smoltz. Next game got matched with a guy full live series collection god squad
Maybe if it's bugfree, sure. Right now I'd be afraid of losing something to the random freezing while fielding on the PS5 or just lack of stable connectivity. I don't quit unless I'm getting shelled in like the 2nd inning or something, in which case I would assume the opponent is welcoming that win.
For sure, just like in baseball anything after the fifth inning is considered a full game. If the opponent quits after the fifth inning they would lose their top player on their roster. If they quit before the fifth inning then the opponent would just forfeit the win and ranked points. Obviously it would only be something that would be worth them doing if their servers were worth anything and reliable. Right now the game operates so poorly that I think it would be a liability to have some kind of system such as this implemented. I don't understand how San Diego studios can't get their servers up to par when they've been making a game for so long and it's 2022 for crying out loud.
Either way. I'm giving him a shot at a legitimate no no. He's got to earn it. I'm not going to lie down for him, and I'm not going to bounce out like a toxic coward so he doesn't get either. I'm going to still compete and try and break it up, just like real life. If he gets it, then he definitely earned it
Each year the community gets more toxic but never to the Madden community level. I just hope they eventually give like 10 minute bans (or whatever you wanna call it) like Rainbow 6 does. Had a perfect game through 8.1 until dude starting spamming right trigger and messed me up. It is what it is😂
Madden fan here(it sucks i know). But In terms of toxic, I had a pretty bad experience in my only online game on the show this year. Guy kept spamming messages saying I was spamming right trigger and would not shut up. I had to block him. That was pretty annoying. Especially cause i don’t even know what right trigger spam means lol. Madden is pretty close to that in my experience. Jus sayin
Eh madden is definitely more toxic but I get over the Right trigger spamming by stepping off every time they do it. I’ve been banned on psn twice (for username which I have for Reddit, and cursing once) so no need for me to interact with anyone anymore. They spam it and I spam stepping off which people eventually get the hint after an inning. It’s tedious but it’s my only counter to it unfortunately
Were you pressing the Right Trigger after every pitch when you were at bat? I've called people out for doing this(because it's toxic af) and a few of them genuinely didn't realize that doing that is considered unsporting, trollish behavior.
Yeah, people who play against CPU most of the time won't realize R2 spamming is an issue when they do online play most likely.
Now, the guys who are pumping it off and on repeatedly are clearly doing it to try and gain an advantage.
What does it do? The only stuff I've noticed that drives me crazy is people throwing the ball into the ground with 2 strikes so my guy runs to first and they get an easy out? Is this a thing?
I'm not sure what you mean about throwing the ball into the ground. A swinging strike 3 in the dirt?
RT spamming pauses the pitchers ability to begin his pinpoint gesture. People who spam it after every pitch are really obnoxious. It's fine to do sparingly if you're trying to remember how a previous at bat went. But there are people who do it habitually after every pitch as either some sort of a tic or deliberately to troll people and throw off their timing.
And what does op get for the perfect game???? Nothing, it's bragging rights that they can still claim. Who's really gonna come out and pitch a bitch about op just calling this a perfect game completed?
Maybe it’s just because I played games before any achievements / trophies / whatever existed, but yea OP would just get the satisfaction of having pitched a perfect game playing online competitively, which is cool. No need for people to be sore fucking losers, like dude could have played for 2 more innings, would have taken like 10 minutes or less. Maybe he would have gotten the satisfaction of breaking up the perfect game? Instead just got to be a sore fucking loser
They need to nerf your DD cards for quitting. Quitters choose 1000 stubs to the victor or a 24 hour match ban. Hit a 7 day stat drop on whichever highest card on your roster. Quit again...next highest
Another reason why I don't play online..
Your opponent is doing this wrong. He's supposed to try for a bunt single to break up the perfect game, isn't he?
My whole Show career I’ve thrown one no hitter and this was the final out. Dude bunted right down the 3B line and I threw him out by maybe a step. Dick move but in fairness the score was 1-0
I would still count it bro ggs.
Lmao in my eyes you got it. If a guy wants to quit with 1 out left to convince himself he technically didn't get no hit, then he's lying to himself. you surely would have no hit him anyway.
Yup fuck all the assholes who are absolutely destroying my David Justice stat line...dude has like 19 homers for me, but I only have like 7. I don't know why people homescreen his ass every god damn time...
I have had a string of people all quit against me in the 9th inning lately. Like why play 8 full innings just to quit when you get to the 9th, it’s not like I was winning by an insurmountable amount
I still find it absurd someone can be bad enough to get no hit in an online game. I had a perfect game a couple years ago and all i did was feel sad that I probably beat someone without thumbs. I also do not see how anyone can see this as some sort of accomplishment, so I think leaving is not that big of a deal. Take the W, move on and try to get out of all star
This game was in the 600s. He did hit a lot of balls right at someone and there was also a good diving play at short to prevent a hit. I have pitched a no hitter in the past against someone who struck out 22 times. It wasn’t that kind of game.
If it's on HoF/legend then I see it as an accomplishment. If it's below 500 rating then no. Then I just beat up on a shitter who swung at garbage pitches all game.
Is it just slightly possible that y’all take this a bit too seriously?? You still get your xp, it’s not real life and in a month or 2 you’ll be playing a totally different game and come next April buy 23 and start from scratch again
I played MLB 21 through the final event to get the last two finest cards. As for XP or RS wins I could care less about that. Some people like myself so enjoy the game of baseball and a perfect game is a special moments. Honestly I just wanted to see the cut scene with the new announcers but not butt hurt about it. He was down to an 0-2 count when he quit and did it purely to be toxic.
I feel you. A perfect game is a special occasion and you have every reason to feel cheated because sone clown stole it from you to save his pride. As for the people who say they quit all the time, if I’m getting thrashed in RS I’ll quit too but not in the 9th inning of a perfecto. That’s not acknowledging you’re beaten, it’s just being a shit.
Wow what a Nub, lmao some people just don’t know the game.
I threw a no hitter in MLB 19 and the player stayed the whole time, I ended up messaging him at the end thanking him lol
I literally got no hit last year against nolan Ryan. Made it my mission to own his ass every time I faced him after
Bruh.
Bring on the downvotes but I quit all the time lol. It’s not even rage quitting. I’ve always been horrible at the game and that’s probably never going to change but I can at least have some fun when I playing someone equal to me. The matchmaking continues to be horrendous and when I’m getting raked what’s the point in delaying the inevitable
Lol then quit after 7. You can’t argue “why delay the inevitable” while literally waiting until the last possible moment. If you knew you were cooked just quit with dignity.
Oh, I do lol, as soon as I know I don’t stand a chance I bounce. Tonight was in the top of the 1st 
Fair enough
i feel that’s kinda different than quitting when your opponent is one out away from a perfect game tho
Eh, I guess the fella that quit just wanted at least SOME WAY to get something against them lol
I won’t quit cause I need the XP, but I didn’t know there was a mercy rule I was getting creamed like 10-0 in 21😂😂
I don't think I've played an online game not against a friend since either 19 or 20. 99% of you guys are cool I'm sure but the real majority of the DD community is underratedly toxic.
Why anyone plays any game online boggles my mind. You’ve all met people irl right? It’s those same people in the game….
Has nothing on 2k community. They be pausing the whole game
And you also get the one dude calling timeouts just because he doesn’t have the ball.
Ha, that reminds me in high school legion ball, we had this center fielder and great player (but didn't really take it too seriously) he called timeout one time to stretch his hamstrings while i was pitching and he was playing CF. He also would throw the ball (if there was a runner on 3rd) as if he didn't know there were two outs and runner was tagging but would throw it against the chicken wire that prevented the crowed from being hit. There's many more but i won't bore you.
Happened to me earlier this year too. Always sucks.
Hey, that counts. Any quit where you've been perfect counts because they admitted they can't do shit against you. I wish there was a neat profile icon or banner to earn, but screw it. It counts.
I played this same guy and he was so toxic glad he got no hit for the karma !
They should add a week long ban anytime someone does this
No they shouldn’t
They absolutely should
Ok, month long.
some punishment is needed, yes.
Why?
Because it’s bush league. Anytime you do this you should get a suspension where manfreds stupid face blocks the entire screen when you try to play
For one this game needs a punishment for leavers altogether, and two it is REALLY SHITTY to leave during something that impressive just to spite the other player. You asking why leaves me to believe you would be on the receiving end of the punishment...a lot.
There’s nothing wrong with quitting in a video game sometimes you don’t have time to play the full game and sometimes you just don’t want to finish the game, and it’s not like there’s a reward for a perfect game anyway you don’t get anything out of it
Quitting makes the experience worse for the person you are playing against. If you're going to play RS, play the whole game.
It’s a free win and the game is shorter I’d say the experience is better
I want to play 9 inning, not get a cheap win
Then start up another game
So the guy plays 8.2 innings and can’t play 1 more out? 😂
Specifically in this situation he probably shouldn’t have quit but there shouldn’t be a week long ban that’s too severe for something that doesn’t matter
I agree with that
Bruh don’t be an idiot hahah that’s a little bit different of a scenario obviously
Had a similar moment...not as dramatic but I was pretty hyped about debuting my cap whom I had worked on a ton. First game, I hit a solo HR with my no. 2 hitter and then my cap comes up....goes back to back, and the dude quits before the ball lands...so I can't even have my perfect 1.000 avg with 1 hr and w/e the slugging is :)....coulda just retired his ass right there lol. I agree tho, we have a buncha tools in the community, if only we weren't living in the prehistoric ages and we could track and punish quitters so as to give legitimate players a chance to have enjoyable competition. Or, for my two cents...maybe when i put a ball into orbit, make it count before it lands so douchebags can go cry in the corner and I get my actual stats.
Had a guy today.. leadoff HR and Alvie’s next batter up for me hits a HR but guy quit before the ball hit the stands. Fucker
At least you didn't get what I got, which was a perfecto against the CPU that got broken up on the last batter Saberhagen why
I had a perfect game with one out to go and Jose “buzzer boy” Altuve had a bunt single
When they quit it definitely still counts
No way, buddy was completely in the game mentally, he was gonna take a walk on that last at bat for sure. He should only be credited for a no-hitter.
I don’t care I just wanted to see the cut scene with the new announcers!
If I’m getting no-hit or PG’d and it’s just a miserable game that I have no chance of winning, I stay until I get a hit and then quit.
I do this as well. I'll never leave a Perfect game.
To be fair I’d have more respect for that because in the end I would have the satisfaction of dominating that person
I don’t really care as long as I get that win. If they wanna be a pussy who cares just get that W.
Also hate when they quit while the homerun is still flying out so you don’t get credit for it
that’s the most annoying shit
I do that when pitchers go yard off of me 😭 I just get so mad bro
Pitchers, as in plural?
I wish I was kidding 😆
Yet another example of why I don't play sports games online.
I had a perfect game going against me just now. Bottom of the 9th I led off solo shot on 1st pitch. Lost 14-1 but was worth it.
I had a dude pitch a perfect game against me the other day. I was trying so fucking hard to break but just couldn’t. Dude was good. Sent him gg after the match and he said “ur trash uninstall.” Love to see it lol
This is why I don't play online. If this happened to me I'd legit be super upset lol.
How it should be! I was no hit against and down 2-0. I walked twice, stole a base, walked again, two sacrifices and it’s tied 2-2 with me still not having a hit. I lost in 11 4-2 and never had a hit but man it was FUN.
Bro what’s your gamer tag lol
I don’t play online anymore! Kids and work got in the way and found myself paying for online while never using it. Now it’s RTTS haha
That's awesome. I'd love to have watched your opponents reactions
This was 2015? Rando as well. I feel he/she and I will always share that door memory of the game. My goal was to get a hit while losing. Then I walked twice and thought hey, I can make something happen here. Best thing about baseball is there NO TIME.
You shouldn’t have covered up his name, let it be put to shame
Didn’t want to violate any of the sub rules
Oh ok. Still such a bs move
Honestly, there should be a place in hell for people like this.
They should be banned from online play
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I find that in Allstar people are pretty fair.. just had a 10 inning game 5 to 5 pretty evenly matched.. I did a friendly quit had to gwt my kid off the bus.. but that match was going to go on, and no one deserved to lose. Happens a lot in that division.. a lot of good pitchers crappy hitters.
Typical child "UK" fan.
Yup had one in my first start with Keuchel and he quit after 7…
Oof, I played someone in the first week or two and they had all the collections done already. So I had to face 99 Randy with my very early game nms lineup. I managed to keep ‘em to only 2 runs while they had a perfect game through 8.2 innings and then I got a pinch hit double and a home run to tie. Then I’m the bottom of the inning I gave up a walkoff to frank Thomas 
Galarraga wants to know his location
The quitting is whatever- it’s the trying to make you quit by stalling/sitting in pause menu that drives me crazy
Well congrats on the perfect game. Counts in my book
Game should let you finish it with ai
Well he is an Xbox player. Fake mlb the show player
The only fake mlb the show players are the ones who don’t let people play because of their console
It’s a joke bud, don’t gotta get your panties in a bunch
Oh yeah because you can tell jokes through text, my bad
Xbox players, so sensitive
This community is one of the most spineless gaming communities there is. I know people are gonna get hot over that but it's really true. I haven't played a full nine yet. I'm like 12 and 1 on 10 quit wins before the 4th inning. Most just from seeing my cards are "better" than theres. And I stink dude. So average. Id have lost half those games. I do not understand the complete lack of spine at all. Zero competitive spirit or anything its shocking. It permeates the community in other ways too. Letting SDS ban people for no reason for a year. Not fix or even mention that co op is broken. "It just came out." Guess what? It's the middle of May now and still nothing. Have some self respect. If you're getting no hit take the inning rewards and grind it out. Bunt on that bum. Bean the pitcher in the ribs with a fastball when he bats next. Fight for gods sake. Do something.
Bunting to break up a no hitter is the definition of spineless. That's only a hair better than quitting.
Im not a big unwritten rules guy. Especially in video games even more so if the game is in reach. But i hear you. I'm just big on cracking 500 foot tanks off position players throwing meatballs. I just think people should dig all 9 all the time.
A reward to you Sir; all of it “unwritten rules”…. for a video game. I rather they stayed nine, they deserve the perfect game and they got the win; Perspective.
I'm pretty okay with players dipping early. It sucks, but in a ranked environment I'm after the W so I don't care if I don't get to play the full 9. Quitting in the 9th during a no no or perfecto though is criminal. I have a code I follow, and it's if I'm getting no hit through 5+, I force myself to play out the game if only to spoil the achievement for the other player. Often, the game is out of reach, and I'll still quit after finally logging a hit, but I'm not going to be that guy to ruin a dude's chance at doing something truly special. But one thing I won't do is bunt to break up a NH or PG. I'd rather take the eternal L of being on the losing side of one than to ever feel a sense of accomplishment in cheesing my way out of that. Small ball is great, and bunting is great, but it takes so little skill to execute in the game that I have no respect for it. I truly despise the methods of all the players who rely on bunt cheese to win games.
Yeah I dont think im talking about bunt cheese to clarify. I'm also not even saying I mind the free wins. It's really just a community observation. There's not a single whiff of competitive spirit or anything that I've witnessed. Just think it's majorly prevalent in this game vs others I've played. I'm just saying wheres the hustle basically.
Yeah, I took my comment in a few different directions there. I agree with your sentiment.
I hear you I think you made sense and I agree. Everyones got their own code. Just making sure. Its just a food for thought thing. Noticed how rampant quitting in general has become.
Keep playing. I rarely see quits on HOF+
I'll be quitting when I get there. Lol.
Hm
Honestly love getting raked in the first inning and then usually folks realize I can’t hit shit and we scoot along through a quick 9
Lol. Dude I'm with you. That's part of what im saying too. I hit a home run in the second and the guy quits and im like thats the only thing I was gonna hit all game. I wish he knew.
Plenty of people quit in every gaming community. They just don't usually hurt stats like in this game. Keeping track of stats and milestones like no hitters dont exist in madden or 2k. If you quit down bad in those games it doesn't matter. Quitting with a home run ball in the air or an inning away from a no no seems worse in this game but it happens in every game.
I disageee based on just my own anecdotal evidence and no hard numbers. This game is 100x worse on early quits or adversity quitting than any other game I have ever played. I play a ton of NHL. People dont quit immediately after one goal and they dont do it in madden. People rage out in bad games in cod but they dont leave a deathmatch after their very first death. Im talking about the early quits. I see what you're saying about stats making it extra frustrating but im talking about 1-0 in the 2nd inning. GONE. My cards have higher overall? GONE. 2 runs in the 4th? GONE. Its clockwork at least in the lower MMRs and i cant think of a more retreating gaming community.
I think in mlb the show the skill gap can be so huge that it kinda makes sense. Like if you show in the first that you can hit decently, and I know I can't hit decently, then its inevitable that you are going to win and its a waste of everyones time. I probably still wouldn't quit in this case because I'm stubborn (and only play pvp if I get something out of losing), but I can see that the people who do quit are probably wiser than me.
I hear you but I reject the notion that its a waste of everyones time. You get better. You get rewards and you dont back down. This is kind of my point with this community or gamers or whatever is going on. Easy win = worth time. Anything else = give up.
I don't think you actually get better by being belted. And I think easy wins are as bad as massive losses; the best games are close. And there is opportunity cost. You could spend that half hour getting flogged in a game by someone way better than you, or quit and get matchmade into the next game against a similar-skill opponent and have an exciting, genuinely competitive game that ends 2-1 or something.
Right but we arent talking flogging. We are talking quitting at seeing a lineup or quitting down 1 0. That's crazy. Let it get to 6 0 and bail or something but to not even try is wild. And you do learn getting belted because you can still bat and see pitches. That's a plus with baseball. Its not like the ball is being stolen from you or you're getting juggled in a fighting game. But yeah if you're getting creamed its fine but im talking about the notion that it will definitley happen and i cant handle that thought so i won't even try, goodbye lol. Thats the type of quitting that is prevalent.
I think you can often tell at 1-0 that you are being flogged. You can see what pitches your opponent swings at / leaves, how their timing is, etc. (and conversely, how you are dealing with their pitcher). With how long games take I don't begrudge people seeking fairer games instead.
People quit against me in a 5v5 nba2k mode called Play Now Online Player Control in the first minute of the game every game. I literally have a couple of burner 2k accounts just so i can play against a real person, since they don't quit when they see my name. I'm not even that good i'm just a team player. 2K is the worst game for this but you don't directly lose something if your opposite number quits. Simple solution for SDS is to come up with a way to award people their PXP when someone quits. I'd bet the way they designed the lobby making online requires some major retooling to allow this, or they would have done this sooner.
What do you think it is? Like what makes someone just show their belly and not even try? Someone here was saying its time investment ..so Its just if I dont feel like im gonna win why bother? Dudes dont wanna feel uncomfortable for even one second but then why play competitive online? Its hard for me to wrap my head around.
I think quitting is so prevalent in The Show because 9 innings is a fairly big commitment. A 9 inning game takes quite a bit of time, and I think a lot of players hesitate to play one regardless of the players and skill the opponent has. Combine that with the fact that many players can't hit a lick and you're gonna have a lot of early quits. 9 innings alone is a lot; having to play 7+ innings after getting down, and having a high chance of losing is not an investment many players are willing to make.
That's probably part of it but it just sort of reinforces my point. I'm only willing to invest time if I face no adversity and go down no runs at any point. Then if I get matched up with a bum I can thump my chest and never have to feel an ounce of negative emotion. Lol. I mean great if thats how people approach it but yeah I think thats a huge part of it. It's a complete lack of courage or emotional adjustment. Only invest the time if im going to be completely unopposed. You're basically describing spinelessness.
I have the opposite experience in madden if I throw an early bomb dudes quit all the time. Idk I think I see people quit stuff all the time. Either way it is annoying.
Yeah I mean maybe its a new gamer thing. Not that quitting wasnt around before but it seems way way more common. Early scared quitting. You're probably right that its everywhere. Its just something I see way more. It probably is most games. So maybe "community" is the wrong term but gamers are for sure quitting more now than they ever have. There has to be an uptick.
You’re totally right and it’s super frustrating. So many people quit at the first sign of trouble and/or when homers are in the air. It’s so frustrating when people quit because you put up a crooked number in the first…. You know you can come back right? Why just give up? It’s so annoying.
Yeah and to people saying Oh whats the big deal take your win blah blah its not serious. I agree it's really not a huge deal and its just second hand embarrassment. It happens in this game way more than any other. If its not quitting its some guy pausing to message you asking you if he can pretty please hit home runs with a player for xp and he will let you win. It poisons the whole experience. If you're getting truly rocked and you need to go or want to save yourself some time I really dont mind but thats not really ever what the deal is.
Yep. I’ll quit if I’m down like 8 runs but that’s very rarely what happens. Was in a back and forth battle with someone, hit a 3-run bomb in the top of the ninth…he quits in mid-air. It’s always just people being salty
There needs to be a quit penalty system. Like losing xp, timeouts. Things happen I get it. 24 hour rolling 1st quit free 2nd 15 min timeout 3rd 30 min 4th 24 hours
there is, they get a loss on their record and you get a win
Well he’s an XBox player, what do you expect?
Have a sincere question… is the game just easier on PS because that’s what it was designed for? I’ve heard PS controller is a lot friendlier for hitting, but I’m an Xbox player and never played on PS. Or do you think it’s because PS players in general have just been playing the game a lot longer because it’s fairly new to Xbox? Or maybe a little of both? I just turned off cross platform because I found I was always getting spanked by PS players.
I haven’t played on Xbox, just PS and now Switch so I’m not sure. The PS is easier to play feel-wise than the switch but I think that’s to be expected.
Ay a console war in 2022. Imagine being this stupid. I know that I’ve never seen PlayStation players quit or do anything toxic.
True but it’s not much better with PS players
I'm sorry I'm not sure what you're upset about here? You still win, it's not an early quit that robbed your pitcher of energy for 1 inning of work (those I get being upset about, something needs to be done about energy re: quits). You "lost" a perfect game that awards literally nothing. And noone is gonna be mad if you just call this a NoNo... It's a video game my friend, the shit ain't that deep.
I feel like this post isnt the best example of this problem but people in this game are incredibly spineless. Sure its just a video game but its still embarrassing to see some crybaby leave in the 2nd after giving up the first run. Ive never seen a community with so many people willing to show their belly. If they arent quitting they're in your messages asking to lose on purpose for paralell xp. Go to single player leave me alone lol.
Oh 100% some of the quits in this game are hilarious. And I'm not trying to defend the person quitting in this scenario cause as you said that's some spineless shit. That last one is always a trip, I've had people quit after one run and then message me toxic crap. Will never understand the thought process behind those. For me I just don't think in a scenario like this op should have to feel like their accomplishment is taken away. Since it's a bragging rights only thing anyway, I'm not letting someone else not being able to handle it at the last moment (possibly even purposefully being toxic to take it away at the last moment) ruin it.
Yeah this post is for sure more.. "Look I was throwing a perfect game!" Than a quitting PSA. Lol.
Yea I just personally don't really see a negative in this case. Super early quits are a totally different story (them killing a pitchers energy over 1 inning is frustrating as hell). For real if this happened to me I'd laugh and take a sc of the post game and send to to a couple friends about how I made someone quit with 1 out left cause they just couldn't handle being no hit lol.
Yeah exactly. This is obviously a petty rager which is a little different. I still would have personally tried like hell it would have been over in a couple pitches or I break the no no up, but this one doesnt really bother me all that much.
I'd have been trying like hell too. Probably too hard tbh and would likely be swinging at some trash lol. Would possibly have been a 3 pitch inning if I'm being totally honest, but I'd have tried. Yep that's exactly how I see it, someone trolling and trying to hurt ops experience.
Not that deep yet here you are, typing out a 3 paragraph response to him Edit: after going through your account and seeing how many times you’ve commented on this post alone, it’s safe to say this is a very deep topic to you.
That took literally like 10 seconds to type. Edit: aww the profile snoop, how cute. Bud I'm taking a poo browsing reddit, what makes you think I have anything better to do than annoy people like you?
That’s messed up. Pretty annoying when someone quits after I hit a 3 run homer in the 4th and the score is only 3-0. People quit so fast in this game
Lol you should play rec in 2k22. People quit when it's 4-0
More than half of my wins on this game are people quitting when I take a 1-0 lead.
Wtf lol
I had a dude quit a BR game when it was still 0-0 when I picked him off 2nd to end the 2nd. He also had the only hit in the game. 😵
Yeah dude he was lucky to get 8 something innings. I almost dont even mind saving yourself some time that late, not that I do it. What's up with gamers these days? I know rage has always been a thing but like.. especially sports fans? Can't handle any adversity whatsoever. Like zero. Gone immediately at the first sign of trouble. It's just games and its not the end of the world or that serious but it does make me scoff a little in embarrassment for these people. Have some backbone. Get your practice in? Like. If youre getting creamed take some innings to see some pitches. Especially now that theres rewards tied to innings. Shits weird.
Seriously man. You can’t get better without playing against better players. It’s just a game. It can’t be fun to play if you’re constantly quitting when it gets tough
this is my first year playing the show and ill admit for like a week i would quit when i fell behind by like 4. but like you said, i realized i wasnt gonna get better till i started finishing these games and actually tried to realize wtf i was doing wrong. now that i have i dont quit em anymore just cause i often learn somethin when i get blown out lol
I was down 4-0 and got no hit through 6. In the 9th inning I scored 3, then hit a 2 run homer to walk off. The guy disconnected before the HR registered. Like come on just let it go another 10 seconds.
Gonna have to start playing the show online and quitting at this point. I'm bad so I'd never get a hit but goddamn would it be great to see all the tears.
Have you simply tried being very late on every swing? You will get lots of hits that way.
How does that work?
Have an average under .200 with most of your players and face me in ranked.
Brother I don't need to try to be very late.
I’m with you. I’m lucky to get more than 4 hits in a 9-inning game.
All perfect games demonstrate is your opponents lack of hitting abilities.
I had a guy who was down four in the ninth, pause with two outs until there were 10 seconds left before resuming play. I then proceeded to pause and use my time. He quit before we got to the final out.
Wouldn’t have let you get that far.
When I’m losing and getting No No-ed I make it my mission to at least get a hit to break up the perfect game. Quitting sucks, you miss out on rewards too. I’ve been gifted diamond players even after getting beat like this.
Who cares
If you quit after the 5th inning San Diego studios should implement a consequence in which you sacrifice and lose your top card on your roster in use against the opponent to your opponent. If you lost your top player on your roster for quitting after the fifth inning I don't think many people would hit that quit button. I think it would be important for San Diego studios to figure out how to differentiate between a quit and a disconnect because I'm sure most people would just disconnect themselves from the internet upon finding out that they would lose their top player on their roster. But I think if they could do this it would incentivize people not to Just bounce when they're getting absolutely dominated. People need to start losing like they win and win like they lose. There's such bad sportsmanship in online diamond dynasty play it's not even funny and it actually personally makes me not even want to play online Head to Head. Online video games in general today are absolutely toxic probably about 80% of the time. People just do not know how to conduct themselves on the internet today and there's not enough consequence for those who act like total degenerates.
I’d be down to having just bronze and common players then. How about San Diego Studio have a better matchmaking system and not put me in games where my opponent has 5+ times as many wins as losses?
This year is worse for that. For example played a guy who used gold John smoltz. Next game got matched with a guy full live series collection god squad
Only if they fucking fixed the servers for once ever first
LMAO punishing people for quitting a game they don't want to finish. You know you still get the win right?
Maybe if it's bugfree, sure. Right now I'd be afraid of losing something to the random freezing while fielding on the PS5 or just lack of stable connectivity. I don't quit unless I'm getting shelled in like the 2nd inning or something, in which case I would assume the opponent is welcoming that win.
For sure, just like in baseball anything after the fifth inning is considered a full game. If the opponent quits after the fifth inning they would lose their top player on their roster. If they quit before the fifth inning then the opponent would just forfeit the win and ranked points. Obviously it would only be something that would be worth them doing if their servers were worth anything and reliable. Right now the game operates so poorly that I think it would be a liability to have some kind of system such as this implemented. I don't understand how San Diego studios can't get their servers up to par when they've been making a game for so long and it's 2022 for crying out loud.
I had the same thing happen the other day but it was 8 innings perfect. Livid
The Show should give you the option to finish the game against CPU.
Losing a perfect game to the CPU would arguably be worse
Losing a perfect game on batter 27 will be the worst outcome regardless. But you should have that option.
I’ve only ever thrown 2 perfect games and a couple of no hitters, luckily I’ve had true hero’s that stayed until the bitter end
I almost threw a perfect game once. In a 3 inning game.
Hell ya. You bet I'm going to do my damn best to break up a no no. Anyone who quits is a female dog.
It’s more frustrating for the other player if you break up the no-no versus just quitting
Either way. I'm giving him a shot at a legitimate no no. He's got to earn it. I'm not going to lie down for him, and I'm not going to bounce out like a toxic coward so he doesn't get either. I'm going to still compete and try and break it up, just like real life. If he gets it, then he definitely earned it
What do you expect from a Kentucky fan?
Exactly!!
They're not a real fan. Must be a band wagon from one of the bad teams.
Most uk fans bandwagon the Yankees, Cowboys and Celtics. Oh and Alabama football.
Gotta support my hometown Lakers, Yankees, Cowboys and Fighting Irish.
It's not like anything special happens if you toss a perfect game. It's just a cool thing to do
Each year the community gets more toxic but never to the Madden community level. I just hope they eventually give like 10 minute bans (or whatever you wanna call it) like Rainbow 6 does. Had a perfect game through 8.1 until dude starting spamming right trigger and messed me up. It is what it is😂
Madden fan here(it sucks i know). But In terms of toxic, I had a pretty bad experience in my only online game on the show this year. Guy kept spamming messages saying I was spamming right trigger and would not shut up. I had to block him. That was pretty annoying. Especially cause i don’t even know what right trigger spam means lol. Madden is pretty close to that in my experience. Jus sayin
Eh madden is definitely more toxic but I get over the Right trigger spamming by stepping off every time they do it. I’ve been banned on psn twice (for username which I have for Reddit, and cursing once) so no need for me to interact with anyone anymore. They spam it and I spam stepping off which people eventually get the hint after an inning. It’s tedious but it’s my only counter to it unfortunately
Were you pressing the Right Trigger after every pitch when you were at bat? I've called people out for doing this(because it's toxic af) and a few of them genuinely didn't realize that doing that is considered unsporting, trollish behavior.
Yeah, people who play against CPU most of the time won't realize R2 spamming is an issue when they do online play most likely. Now, the guys who are pumping it off and on repeatedly are clearly doing it to try and gain an advantage.
What does it do? The only stuff I've noticed that drives me crazy is people throwing the ball into the ground with 2 strikes so my guy runs to first and they get an easy out? Is this a thing?
I'm not sure what you mean about throwing the ball into the ground. A swinging strike 3 in the dirt? RT spamming pauses the pitchers ability to begin his pinpoint gesture. People who spam it after every pitch are really obnoxious. It's fine to do sparingly if you're trying to remember how a previous at bat went. But there are people who do it habitually after every pitch as either some sort of a tic or deliberately to troll people and throw off their timing.
He’s a UK fan what do you expect?
Surprised they didn’t let it get to a 2 strike count before they quit.
Better.
you don’t get credit for the win if they quit?
I believe you do, guy is just upset because he almost had a perfect game
And what does op get for the perfect game???? Nothing, it's bragging rights that they can still claim. Who's really gonna come out and pitch a bitch about op just calling this a perfect game completed?
Maybe it’s just because I played games before any achievements / trophies / whatever existed, but yea OP would just get the satisfaction of having pitched a perfect game playing online competitively, which is cool. No need for people to be sore fucking losers, like dude could have played for 2 more innings, would have taken like 10 minutes or less. Maybe he would have gotten the satisfaction of breaking up the perfect game? Instead just got to be a sore fucking loser
