Constant concedes on official ladder
I just started playing the game competitive ladder with 8 matches in so far. Out of these i had 6 concessions (The other 2 i got a draw and a loss which i played to the end).

Seems like every time something is going bad for the other team i get an inmeadiate concession. I even got one when i was just about to score intentionally denying me of SPP...

Maybe it´s just the lower divisions where this happens or is it prevalent at all levels in the ladder?

It gets frustrating not being able to evolve the team meaningfully because of people constantly quitting the game...

Check the thread "banned for nothing" you will see examples of why those players do it and why they think it's ok.

There is a punishement (bans from spinning for game for a duration the more you concede).

You will get less concessions as you climb up the ranks and also as TV increase (when a new team gets smashed in 3 turns the players will most likely remake it so he leaves that's one of the case where it's understandable). But it never completely disappear as sometimes you just don't want to play anylonger.

Poor fellow getting a free win, a 2-0 score, SPP and money and still complaining and wanting to ban beginners...

Don't know why you're taunting OP here, he obviously just started playing on the ladder so has nothing to do with Cyanides decision to limit concedes. And you're also not reading what he is saying: He actually lost SPP, money is irrelevant in the eternal format as is the meaningless win.

Is there a need to discourage people from conceding? Imo yes but maybe not by banning, It depends you could reward the winner more for example. First two seasons and pre season there were no penalties and it was getting annoying for multiple gameplay reasons. (pixel hugging skewing the heavy armored team even more in the format, Blood pass XP completely obliterated, not getting Spp on your ball carrier and so on.)

I am not even getting a 2-0 most of the concedes are on 0-0 when ANYTHING goes wrong for the other player, i injure a player or manage to steal the ball --> Instant Concede. I have only gotten a game to the second half ONCE.

This is not fun for anyone, the conceding player is not learning anything out of this, i am not learning anything from this game and the spp i get are only randonmly allocated so i can´t try to build up a meaningful team.

I didn´t even know i got less Blood pass XP which is total BS, i bought the pass and i was wondering why it was so slow to advance there.

Happy that the devs are doing something about it and banning these offending players from doing this constantly (I just seem to get them constantly anyway).

You can't claim for something that hasn't happened, like you did, saying that conceding is stealing your deserved SPP. Because you don't know what could have happened if your opponent stayed. Maybe, next turn you would have rolled two skulls, got someone killed in your team and you are a very lucky man...

So, as a fact you just don't like other to concede (that offends your very strange idea of sportmanship) but you have no argument, it's just your point of view, and it seems, I have a very different one.

This rule should only apply in tournaments not on a casual ladder.

Count me out, I don't like not being able to play a game i paid. 7 days ! That's ridiculous.

Don't worry it will get better even if not perfect. If you get a concede once every 4 games it's not that annoying. (And sometimes tbh it happens to most to not want to play anymore and just wanting to quit)

Just wanted to leave you a tip for the pass XP: If you're willing, you can play out a game against the AI; and on the last turn just press esc to pause the game and let it run for 20-40 mins while you alt tab. Then get back in and finish the last turn, it should give you a decent chunk of XP if this hasn't been fixed (haven't tested in a while.)
You have a lot of time to complete the pass so you can try that later in the season if needed, nowadays I get enough XP to complete the pass in multiplayer as you get more full games when you get into Gold-Platinium level.

Oh yeah sure the opponent with nobody in range is going to magically teleport to your ball carrier right before the touchdown, I get that bans are annoying and there is maybe a better way to handle this but stop dismissing something that can bother players that don't play a 100 games in a season.

Now that's more constructive, maybe they should have two ladders; one with limited concedes; and a casual one with no rules. Issue may be spinning times as the player pool will be smaller.

So are you more into Roots Manuva and beating kids in videogames or do you want to play for the coach like Lou Reed ?

I absolutely love BB but if 4 of my guys get injured in the first 3 turns I'm going to concede whether that's in real life or BB3. If its a IRL league that team is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ and start over in the next one. I started a Dark elves team yesterday and my black orc opponent killed one and injured 3 others in the first half. I conceded, deleted it and started again. Tonight I started orcs with an all av 10+ team and 3 got injured in the first 5 turns. Deleted that team and now Im banned for 15 mins or something. So if that happens again Im supposed to play that ♥♥♥♥ out for an hour otherwise ill get banned longer? Wtf is this?

Its easy to concede... everybody does it all the time apparently. Injure, conceed is the name of the game and ^yes if you manage to get roflstomped as ORCS you need better tactics. maby try against the AI to learn the ropes. Start with a Dwarfen team, make everybody stand next to each other. Try to survive, after that you can go after the ball.

4 Big uns and a Troll make it really hard to get 3 injurys on the Orcs. Did you leave all of them alone and have a mino + assists blitz every turn??

Dark Elfs are prone to damages, but you let him get way to close if you got 4 injurys in the first half. Sounds like you were blocking and not dodging /focusing on a defensive screen. DE outrun BO anyday.

OP alot of these frustrations are not present in the singleplayer. You can get alot of SP fast so you can evolve your team much faster and try out what works and what doesnt. Taking a team througth the 6 battles is far from optimal but thats good learning

There is a part of skill and there is a rng one sometime , you just can't control it and can be really frustrating specially when you miss on key moment or the rng just stomp you so much that you are going to lose regardless of what you try.

Like i did lizardmen match which honestly was a complete joke and did tilt me so mutch that i did a quick rq.
First dice block? Double skull , so i reroll it then my next is a double both down without block , i don't want to reroll and i get ko.
Then my kroxy get ko , i do get under pressure , i try to cage somehow but my skink miss his dodge , so yeah , i tilted and leave this one.

Same think when you get a stupid officious ref in your face and your best player get send off when you are already underpower.

That game can be really tilting when you fail everything for no reason because of absolute crap rng.
Like in theory it should work but because you are so unlucky , it just doesn't .
Like the time i did make fall 3 time the ball for my opponent to catch it in bounce 3 time in another player , that was also really stupid.

Why did you even dice block and against whom. If its your offence, as lizards against a str team the first round is crucial. You got 6 big lizards and 1 even bigger!!!!

Your Krox is alot stronger with some lizards next to him, so risking they fall is high risk. A double dice, shouldnt be rolled if your opponement has block. Lizards are huuuuge meat shields but if you start punching left and rigth they will go down. Esp against similar strenth races with block. Saurus game is resilience. Take some hits, get up again. Get the ball. Make sure you have solid assist when finally starting to punch.

I know how to play them .

Except that when i get so poorly dice , i can't do anything.

My double skull was in the frontline with my block saurus which i did reroll then the other saurus next to the krox failed the double dice , he didn't have block either but i did take a ko for that.

Then his krox do get 2 dice on my krox because of my saurus fail and get ko so i have a hole in the middfe of my frontline which i did anticipate since i did have skink behind but i get quickly under pressure with each of my player mark , try to cage somehow and i fail the dodge to try to bring a skink back and that wasn't a tackle just in case.
At this point , there is nothing i can do.

It was just me rolling extremely poorly.
Like i did 3 action and all of them were a fail.

I'm gonna concede all the time things went totally wrong. Simply don't want to waste time on somebody's fun. Especially somebody just killed out half of my team in a super lucky rolls. No thx - opponent already got enough of fun out of me, feeding him with joy for one more hour? What am I, his personal clown? Why should I do that? Better rq and let somebody else kill that damn lucker - I don't care, will spend that 1h-10h-Xhours(time doesn't matter) hours on something else. Painting real BB miniatures, go play BB in real life, anything aside from that.

Developers should understand that this is a computer game. I came to play - not to see how full team of opponent beats half of my team 8 turns, and i can only lie down and do nothing. If dice went really bad and game is 100000% lost - nobody should be forced to keep suffering!

by the way there is plenty of options to do conceding normally. Give me a button to 'ask' opponent to stop the game. ( maybe a normal guy on the other side will also understand that this turns out to be no fun at all for his opponent and will agree ). Or something like that.

I am also playing BB in real life. And I am conceding there also, because time is precious. We can always start a new game, if that one is dead due to dice dolls, we will bot have a good, interesting, challenging game, but not throwing away 1 hour of a lifetime on already decided something.

And this exactly demonstrates why the concede penalty is required.
