Not that anyone here is interested, but since I left a couple of months ago, life has been so much better. I’m spending my time doing more productive things like going on bike rides or shooting hoops, which is literally 5-10 times more fun than MM. The adrenaline rush when making a turn around fadeaway shot is far more superior than anything I’ve experienced in MM in years. Best of luck OP and enjoy retirement!

I’ve played since 2014, finished at the top of the leaderboard for a few years, and forfeited the game a month or two ago and has been the best decision I’ve made in years!! The game as it stands now with the boring live events and season game evoked suffering for me. There was literally zero game mode that was considered “entertaining” or “a relief from stress,” and was quite the opposite. And all this was affecting my mood throughout my day, which I didn’t realize until I quit. The emotion of boredom and pain drags on as you go through your daily routine. The day after I walked away, I felt a profound difference in everything. The air felt fresher, and I could feel the season more! It felt good to be alive! Probably haven’t felt that way since well...2014. The suffering caused by the game made me experience life with filtered senses, and now I’m making up for the lost years! Waking up in the morning feels so good, and I’m not overdramatizing this even a little bit!

Why would anyone pay to play such a subpar game.<< So why are you playing it?

To me it’s like playing softball instead of real baseball, but the former is still fun to play.

I’d think that the younger crowd is smarter than this.

I can tell they spent hours on this new mode, and I’ve also spent considerable hours on the Yard. My only claim to fame this year is finishing a season at #1 with 21,000 + points. And I still don’t get the point of this new mode.

At least they could have made it more interesting. Why spend money on something that doesn’t appear to be rewarding at all?

Thanks. It stopped popping up, after I deleted 30GB worth of VR “movies.”

Hmmm....maybe that’s what it was. I had like 30 GB worth of VR movies that only those over 18 should be watching. Well worth the pain though.

I really wonder what’s in it for you to play OD. What exactly are you gaining from it? Entertainment is obviously not it. Do the benefits really outweigh the setbacks for you?
