What's wrong with people?

The majority of my H2H games are against people who take the play clock down to the 1 when the game clock is stopped. They also like to call a play with 1 (or 3) seconds left before the quarter ends/2 min warning. Basically they do everything possible to be miserable pricks. Like we're beyond passionately playing a competitive video game and it's just these people whose goal isn't just to win a game, they want to make you hate life the whole time too.

Can anyone explain this or are these just broken people who get off on spreading misery? If it were an occasional thing, whatever, just some douche whose mom didn't hug him enough, but it's the majority. I just don't get it.

I guess this was really just a rant, but if you're one of these people, or you have some insight you can provide, please share.

The MUT community is one of the most toxic in gaming history. People constantly shit talk each other and they put each other down. People have legit complaints and people tell them "get gud" like children. Most know nothing about football and they copy the clown youtubers who also ruin the game.

It's all the same thing. People are miserable and this game brings it out. EA preaches fair play and positivity but their game is the total opposite. Just like their fake being against racism bullshit. Worst company in gaming history and the day they sink will be a good one.

I think these people that do it hope to get a lead and have you so frustrated you quit.    I hate it cause it just kind kills my momentum but that also could be why they do it lol

I try to ask them questions to make them reflect. Like, “why are you acting this way? does this make you happy to waste your own time?” And most will get rowdy and try to deny their misery. You can hear the lack of self confidence in their voice. some pretty sad individuals play this game..

I Know Madden is not the most toxic in gaming history , I don't think its even the most toxic of current games . I think people in general are more toxic nowadays  towards almost anything . Also I think  its ironic that you talking about people being toxic and saying " Most know nothing about football and they copy the clown youtubers who also ruin the game"  and  " People are miserable and this game brings it out "  .

I've been playing Madden since Madden 08, before online was even a thing. Me being honest and telling the truth has nothing to do with people being toxic and miserable. There is a big difference between the two.

never seen so many people play the clock instead of the score board until this year. played someone yesterday who used the whole first half to kick 3 lol.

Most gamers are miserable scum or they would be doing something else with their time.

Offense is the best defense

Your not understandin  , calling people , clowns , miserable  etc is also toxic , hence the irony.

Honesty is not the same as being toxic

Depends who you ask and who controls the platform. Lol

I always have the opponent muted so I have no idea what they are saying. Sometimes, I would love to hear them rage, but I doubt there is much that can be learned from most players, so muting is where it's at. I also mute the broadcast because they become repetitive and annoying. The grinding the play clock is irritating, but it's what happens in real football too so I just kind of deal with it.
