Everybody online on this game quits, you take a couple of wickets or score a few runs without loss and they're gone...
There's not much point in a list, because if you play a random person, you know it's coming... Add to that the game is so unrealistic and batting so easy, you feel awkward playing anyone you know as well because you can hit boundaries almost at will!
I won't deny it, sometimes I quit too if my opponent is being a twat by doing constant yorkers or hitting totally unrealistic lofted shots (which go for 6 almost every time).
Hopefully a patch comes to sort out some gameplay issues and give the person who disconnects online a loss, not that I care about being ranked highly or anything, it might just stop some people quitting if they know they will get a loss for it...
That's totally ridiculous dude (apart from the fact that wins and losses not being apart of nay of the stats, and I say that as someone who so, so wishes there was such rankings)....
You say you quit yourself!? And u do it when YOU are bowling!!?? Batting is hand eye and reading the delivery coming and getting timing right.... how can you call them 'ridiculous lofted shots" - what they are is your ball getting hit aerially and 'perfectly' - obviously... maybe you are bowling like the ai - this is online... the best of the best bro....
take it on the chin if getting caned, bowl to your opponent rather than a pre-conceived plan.... locate his weaknesses..... etc etc
I mean wtf!?? Batting is batting.
Only bowling can be cheesed.... I do a pre-game quit and cheese warning... and then when they start cheesing, I absolutely cane them.... If I play with any anger, I cannot be beaten...
Hey hey, I am 52-1, so I can say that.... lol...
best score in a 5 over game? 124/2!! McCullum 52 off 12! hehe..... bowled dude out for SFA and he didn't quit.... in fact I have to establish pre-game that opponent won't quit because I pretty much know for sure they have a serious whipping coming - serious.
My favourite whinge (when I use tactic 37 - non-cheese always) is, "hey bowl properly!!" - haha, no, no, stop doing what they taught you FIRST thing in batting - pre-meditating.... I am not the computer. Decide late, or get better.... lol.... only ball grip cheesing is unacceptable, morally, but infinitely beatable in competitive play nevertheless....
Batting, like catching etc, is just timing and hand-eye and smarts - to quit when someone is dominating here (or anywhere for that matter IMO) is unacceptable. Spirit of cricket. You want them to try and mistime it!? Seriously....
Quitting cos someone is 'really too good' is not a reason.... someone has to lose. And as I always say, if you wanna have the freedom to quit - go play the UNRANKED games..... I mean, it is pretty basic stuff. If you suck, you ain't gonna appear in the stats anyway..... only if you cheese by playing mate and ranking it immorally like d-heads like esso7 etc... (check odi ladder - his stats are appalling really, but he cheeses long games in which he can't even bowl out his bunny mate playing him - sooooooo lame. His stats read against matches played comparison reveals this and embarrasses him whereas the rest of us are playing 5 or 10 over games exclusively (like good ol' thedesidownunder - who I am 2-0 against after a five over and ten over clash the other night, hehe, the clash of the titans - and others, perhaps even vinoth007's stats are a little, hmmmmm, i dunno, but he has also played exclusively ten over games... really shld be mainly five to avoid quitters, i think tens consistently smells fishy with quitters around....) he just cheeses and cheeses.... yawn...)...
I like most of all thrashing everyone with the black caps - hehe - as means I can live out my fantasies as NZ cricket fan (long-suffering no more, lol!!!)...
hehe...
