Is basketball more boring then soccer


Recommended Posts

Basketball have too many timeouts which spoils the game and there is not much excitement too unlike soccer where u can score beautiful goals!

the only thing i like bout basketball is becuz it is mostly held in the night(NBA) and it is indoor

Stupid question , everyones just gonna say their favourite sport.

Indeed. And a game of basketball is about as exciting to me as clipping my toenails. Best thing about the NBA finals is that it means basketball is going away for a while. Soccer all summer until East Carolina rolls into Morgantown on September 4th and life becomes wonderful again.

I find football more interesting because with 60+ baskets a game, each basket means bugger all but in football, a goal means a lot - and the play between goals isn't boring either. A more complex game isn't better because of it's complexity and I don't think football is necessarily simple anyway. It's got quite basic rules, but it's hard to master and good set peices or long range passing is hardly simple to pull off.

Gah, I can't believe I'm contributing to yet another "my sport is better than your sport" thread. These are always stupid, because they are about lack of understanding of other sports and an utterly mindless refusal to accept other people's opinions. If you find football and basketball boring, fine. Great. Nice for you. Why do you have to tell the world? I find basketball and American football boring but I don't go making threads like "Is basketball more boring than American football?", because I know that if I understood and followed those sports, I'd find them exciting and interesting.

Hell, cricket might even being exciting if you enjoy it. Maybe.

Nah.

Basketball is much more complex and you get more excited as there are usually not like only 1-3 goals per game like in soccer but rather like 60+ per game, how then can it be more fun to watch such a simple sport as soccer?

when will people learn that a billion points doesn't make things interesting

football/soccer is more fun to watch because the better team on paper doesn't always win, and when the underdogs score, the better team can't always score again unlike in basketball where its too easy to score

and when will people learn that basketball isn't just about scoring ...

soccer is not boring! basketball is :)

Basketball has tons of back and forth action on a smaller area and it seems pretty exciting. Hockey is the same way in person, though on TV I don't like it much. But soccer is just slow and tedious. Sort of like football in the US.

    • It won't perform hugely better than the 3080 unless you're VRAM limited in games. Have you tried putting new thermal pads on them 3080 and giving it a good clean to see if you can regain your temps and overclock?
    • Windows 95 offered the ability to add and edit the right click menus, on a per file type basis. This feature seems to be missing in the new file explorer. Are they bringing it back as a "new" feature?
    • It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.
    • What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
