Got this message immediately after we lost a game. A random team mate was unimpressed with my performance on the day, which to be fair, was entirely justified, despite a late consolation goal from me.

Must have had a change of heart after I admitted my failings.

Is this the weird football but not really game? I saw it advertised a couple of days ago and it didn't seem to have a really awful camera.

    People get so upset over video games like i'm just trying to escape from life's pressures for a little bit...calm down please.

    I'll just stick to single player games tho.

    I often defuse like this by referring to my age. “My reflexes were great when I first started playing video games in the 1970s—now I am just slower and not much I can do about it.”

    I've been loving Rematch. This kind of team game reveals that, at least to some people, positivity and learning through mistakes will make a team stronger than negativity and shouting. Most of my games have been amazing, and the angry players seldom win. I always hit left dpad early on to get the ball rolling.

    To be fair, I've seen a lot less sarcastic "Good job" messages recently. Everyone fucks up at some point usually, plus the desync issues cause "mistakes" that are absolutely not the player's fault, and people seem to be recognising that.

    I feel like the gameplay itself fundamentally refuses to accept spiteful/selfish players and they filter themselves out within a few hours of playtime

    You have to play the team game, even if you're the one. You cant outplay 4 people focusing you lol as long as youre clearly trying and not spamming everyone usually gives each other grace

    Were you a Rocket League player by chance?

    I'm telling you: they need to work on camera management—introduce some kind of fixed camera mode where it's zoomed out a bit, and movement directions/passing/shooting is relative to the player, not the camera.

    You're probably not even bad at the game, it's just too awkward for no clear reason other than emulating Rocket League.
