I had it working but accidentally swapped Chipper Jones and went back to try and do it but it won’t let me no longer. Not a big deal as I only had tier 2 boost anyway just now I gotta sun him out during the game.
Idk if SDS did something about it but it wasn’t a ground breaking glitch imo before I get blasted for cheating lol I’m a sub .500 player I need all the help I can get! Lmao
Yes, it is fixed … hallelujah
… It is a glitch and everybody using it is against the code of conduct everybody signed logging into the game -
I'm one of the few, the proud, that will get Durability Ripken to P5. I never take him out. BECAUSE HE'S CAL FRICKIN RIPKEN.
-
Finally. Now they need to do something to the people that haven't changed their Event lineups that are still able to utilize it.

Against LHP he is a viable option to me. I left him in a few times too
-
I am one of the few that can't hit with him,and I love Cal

So, if this was fixed quietly, like a thief in the night, and w/o a patch, it was done quietly because they'd have to ban some YT streamers? Well known ones? The detective in me wonders....
-
Guarantee not one streamer was banned
-
Always hated this portion of how SDS does things. Banning a streamer for taking advantage of flawed code makes no sense (for those arguing for a ban). Nobody should be banned for using what SDS missed in testing. This flaw was/is available to everyone. Just announce the flaw, state if the flaw if going to be fixed in a future release or not (acceptance), and then make it so every player knows of the flaw and how to use it. Then, everyone will be on an even playing field outside of the cards they own that can be boosted. I do not see what the problem the problem is here.

Bad, very bad take … maybe the worst of them all … ever … you signed the code of conduct logging into the game. It is clearly a glitch, SDS confirmed it.
I don‘t want to be a part of this. -
Exactly when you sign that that means that you won't cheat the in the game, what those people were doing is cheating and should 100% be banned

People do glitches every year that do not get as much flack as the Captain glitch. You know how easy it should be for SDS to fix the bug that occurs every single time that it is used in the same order. Repeatable, check. Easy to implement, check. And let's be completely honest here, the glitch frees up one bench spot, that is it. If you start Captain Ripken on the durability squad and then remove him from the starting lineup right away you keep all boosts. So this isn't some top-of-the-line exploit here and that is how SDS designed it on purpose.

Can someone post the agreement that gets signed? Not the forum agreement, but the in game agreement. I found this when doing a quick search and the only thing I see that is even close to a problem in this case is "You may not engage in deceptive or misleading practices". This year alone we have had the Ohtani glitch, the Captain glitch, and wasn't there a stamina glitch? Can anyone name any more? All I am saying is that not all glitches are created equal and not every glitch impacts game play. The reason that the captain glitch doesn't bother me is 1. everyone can do it, 2. the functionality as directed basically allows for the same thing and 3. the players you would replace boosted players with at this point in the game are all end game cards.

They're not talking about the one where someone has him in at SS or DH and subs him out in the game.
They're talking about the one where you can put a different version of Cal, normally the Milestone one, OOP and then go to the Captain's screen where when you select him; it doesn't swap him out and keeps the boost. Then people will put another player in where the MS Ripken was and it will still gone the boost without ANY Cal card in the lineup.

@SevisonJN, it's cheating and people should be banned over it especially when you sign the agreement for the game to NOT cheat, I've seen people banned for selling a Mike Trout card so they should definitely ban them for that Captain glitch, obviously SDS doesn't want people to abuse it like what they were doing so they obviously patched it
-
I honestly have no clue how to utilize it. This makes me feel very old.
-
Using a contact boost in the moonshot event is likely putting the person using it at a disadvantage since home runs are far more valuable than base hits, so I was all for it staying if the strategy guide is to be believed. Unless people are playing on hof or legend, I think of it as a penalty since the PCI is already huge. I would rather take high exit velocity.

Darn. Now I can’t use Ripken and make my team suck.

Why not? What's keeping you from still using him?

I was being sarcastic as in his captain power made my team worse. You’d have to find my other post above when I said I used him when the glitch worked and my team was worse.
