Well, let me tell ya, this whole “friendly quit” thing in MLB The Show is just somethin’ else. You know, I been playin’ video games for a long time now, but never seen so many folks askin’ to quit games all friendly-like. It’s like every other time I’m playin’, somebody’s offerin’ to quit. I just don’t get it! When you’re playin’ a game, you oughta finish it, don’t ya think? Quitters ain’t got no place in a game!
Now, some folks say, “Well, it’s just a friendly quit, no big deal,” but what’s the deal with that? If you’re losin’ and you ask for a friendly quit, well, you’re just lookin’ for an easy way out. Ain’t no fun in that. Back in my day, you played till the end, win or lose. If you’re down by a couple runs, you just keep swingin’ till the last pitch, hopin’ for a big hit to turn things around. But this friendly quit thing? It’s like folks are scared to lose! Well, I reckon that’s their problem.
What is a Friendly Quit Anyway?
So, I’m sittin’ there playin’ a Ranked Season match, right? Got my pitcher throwin’ good, batters hittin’ sharp, and all of a sudden—bam!—my opponent offers a friendly quit. Well, shoot, what do you do then? Some folks say they accept, especially if the game’s still tied or if it’s early on. But let me tell ya, if I’m ahead, there ain’t no way I’m quittin’. No sir! The game’s a game, and it ain’t over ’til it’s over. But these younger folks, they just want to get the free RP points without even breakin’ a sweat.
And let me tell ya, when I first started seein’ these “friendly quits” happenin’ in MLB The Show, I thought I had missed somethin’. Folks were doin’ it left and right, like it was somethin’ to be proud of. I thought, “What’s wrong with just playin’ the game?” If you’re losin’, you better just stick with it. Ain’t no shame in a loss. At least you tried!
When Do You Get a Friendly Quit?
Now, I know there’s a few times when a friendly quit’s okay, I reckon. If the game’s only been goin’ for a little bit, and maybe it’s a close one, then maybe a friendly quit ain’t the worst idea. But most of the time, I just don’t understand why folks wanna quit so early. It’s a bit like leavin’ a meal halfway through before you even get to the good part. I mean, what’s the point of startin’ somethin’ if you’re just gonna quit before it’s done?
And get this—if you accept a friendly quit, it don’t count as a win or a loss. That’s right! So why would anyone bother? I guess if you’re playin’ for the fun of it, maybe it don’t matter. But when you’re workin’ hard to climb them rankings in a new season, you ain’t got time for no friendly quits. You want the real wins, the ones that count towards your record!
Why Do Folks Keep Asking for Friendly Quits?
I tell ya, seems like every third game in Ranked Seasons, I got someone askin’ for a friendly quit. What happened to good ol’ competitive spirit? If you’re playin’ a game, shouldn’t you try your best? What’s the deal with askin’ for a friendly quit just ’cause you’re a few points down? I mean, if I’m ahead, I ain’t gonna just let someone quit like that. You want a fair fight, don’t you?
It’s like these players are scared of the grind. They wanna get them free RP points and move on without really playin’. But what’s the fun in that? Ain’t no challenge in takin’ the easy way out! When I’m playin’, I’m in it to win it. Win or lose, I don’t care—I’m gonna play till the end.
When Is It OK to Accept a Friendly Quit?
Alright, alright, maybe there are some situations where it’s fine to accept one of these friendly quits. Like I said, if the game’s early, and maybe it’s tied or close, then okay, I might consider it. But most of the time, if I’m in a close game and my opponent’s askin’ for a quit, I’m not fallin’ for that. I’m gonna keep playin’ till the last pitch. And if I lose, well, I lose. But if I win, I know I earned it fair and square!
One thing’s for sure though—if you’re askin’ for a friendly quit just ’cause you’re losin’ by a few points, you’re missin’ out on the real fun of the game. It’s about the challenge, the thrill, and the satisfaction of battlin’ through till the end. Don’t let no friendly quit steal that from ya!
Conclusion: Play the Game, Don’t Quit!
So, all I gotta say is, don’t be no quitter! If you’re in the middle of a game, stick with it. Play till the last inning. You might surprise yourself and pull off a win when you least expect it! And if you’re ahead, don’t be askin’ for no friendly quit—let’s play till the end and see who really comes out on top!
MLB The Show’s a game, sure, but it’s also about grit and determination. So next time someone asks you for a friendly quit, just shake your head and keep playin’. After all, what’s the point of playin’ if you ain’t gonna give it your all?
