Running Up The Score: Why does the 2k community insist on it?

[mb625]

My last two losses in MyTeam have gone thusly:

Down 6, 12 seconds left. Trying to get a good shot. Missed a shot boarded it, hit a long 2 with .9 to go. Game over, Right? Nope. Timeout him. Runs an alley oop to Harden that goes in at the buzzer.

Down 11. 22 seconds left. Opponent comes down and scores IN 8 SECONDS.

Why? I absolutely don't understand the community's obcession with getting the last bucket in a game they're clearly going to win. In my opinion, it lacks sportsmanship and only perpetuates the one-upsmanship that permeates the community.

So, I ask, in situations like this, do you push for another late bucket to pad the margin of victory (which ultimately makes no difference)? If so, what motivates you to do so? If you disagree, why do you feel that way? I'm really frustrated by this and I'd like to see what y'all think. Maybe I'm all wet, I don't know. Any thoughts?

Or you did something to them earlier that caused them to not care about your feelings

You must be a noob to online gaming because people have been that way since the beginning

No, I'm not, but it's very frustrating. No idea why common etiquette goes out the window in a video game.

It's just the mindset that many have. "It's just a video game, it's okay if I'm an *******" Some grow out of it, some continue to be tools forever.

This is the very kind of thinking I don't get. I don't care if I'm up 4 or 44, I'm not looking to get buckets for buckets' sake at the end of a game I'm *going* to win. There's absolutely no reason except to rub your opponent's nose in it, and even that is completely asinine. The game doesn't give a **** if you win by 9 vs. 11. It doesn't matter either way, so what's the point?
