Getting bad feedback on Xbox live

    I play online a lot but always Battlestations: Midway
    FPS are not my thing so I don't realy play Halo, COD4, etc.

    I've gotten quite good and win far more often lose and have a few players comment they see me around a lot

    But my feedback rating is 55% and most of that is for "trash talk"
    But I don't have a microphone so it isn't possible.

    Can I get Microsoft to review this. Or is it not important and nobody takes it seriously? I'm hurt :(

    I had the same experience with PGR3 and pretty much stopped playing online due to it. (didn't even bother playing PGR4 online because of it:()
    Online play is all fine and dandy, but if some sad bastard can't take being beaten and has to report you for trash talk... then that kind of sours the whole experience for me.
    I guess you could report it to MS, but it doesn't really seem worth it

    I wouldn't worry about it. It doesn't really affect you.

    Just forget about it and enjoy your gaming.

    Just forget about it. It is only rep at the end of the day. All your doing is playing a game online that you happen to be good at and when people lose to you, they take it way too seriously like their life is now over! Mine is like 57% preffered, mostly coz people can't take losing in DoA4.
    Happy gaming! :pac:

    ah man you shouldn't be trash talking people on xbox live, bad manners.

    ONLY MESSING!!!!:D:D:D:D

    nah forget about it it makes no difference and besides just get aload of your friends on xbox live to make you a preffered player and your feedback will shoot up!!!

    sure add me giarc17 and i will make you a preferred player.

    bad feedback will only effect you if you let it. so just dont care about it!!

    The whole stars thing and feedback confuses me. I played some guy in pro evo and lets just say, no-one would want to play this type of person in any games so gave him bad feedback and he was on 3 and a half stars, but once I gave bad feedback it went up to 4 stars :confused:

    cant understand that myself then again i only gave one person bad feedback before(well about 7 people in the game did aswell cause he wouldnt stop singing 'to the left' by beyoncé!!

    dont ever know what happen to him.

    anyway after giving him bad feedback his stars went up:confused::confused:

    maybe at the same time 2 people gave him good feedback, or i cant believe im saying this but he found away to get good feedback out of people giving him bad feedback and is the reason he was talking trash in the game!!

    either way it doesnt matter as if he really is just an asshole people are going to want to play with him so it doesnt really matter.

    but i hope you won the match anyway!!

    What he said :D


    did have some guy message me asking to give him bad rep??? the muppet alarms went off and ignored him.

    I wouldn't worry about it, no one looks at your stars when starting a game and it means you won't be matchmaked with anyone who gives you neg rep.

    this happens alot in partiuclar BS: Midway . Back in the day when I played this alot and was in top 200 ranked players I would get loads of invites to games.

    Course when I went and trounced them I got given bad rep for "gamer ability" or "quitting early".

    Seems to be a thing with BS: Midway because the online games can go on for up to 2 hours at a time people hate to spend all that time playing and then lose. Course they'll then bad rep you or if they are the host quite early :(
