10 WORST Things About Popular Video Game Genres

Legendary NFL head coach Vince Lombardi once said that winners never quit, and quitters never win.

Apparently the swath of FIFA faithful's didn't get the memo, as the temptation of bowing out of an online game a little too early is present in abundance in the series.

The same applies to most any sports game, in fact, as a glut of sore losers would rather leave a game half-way through than be gracious in defeat. It's positively infuriating to those of us who spend our precious time refining our skills in the crucible of FIFA, Madden or NBA 2K.

The puzzling thing, however, is that sport games so rarely have stable servers, so it's hard to know when they've quit or the game has decided to stop working.

We're looking at you, every FIFA ever made.

In fact, sometimes the game itself isn't sure, so any experience or reward you would have received is in doubt, as there is no guarantee that the game doesn't think you were the one to quit.

Throw in frequent maintenance updates, and you'll spend more of your time scheduling the safest times to play the game you paid so very much for.
