Captain glitch no longer works?
-
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.

@fubar2k7 it probably did make your team worse. 110 contact/125 power>>>125 contact/125 power

@virusrev_PSN I had to take out several players who didn’t have 99 durability. Their replacement didn’t have equal ratings after the boost was applied.

You do not have to get to Tier3. Right now I am using the Hoffman Boost for relievers at Tier2

So lets say 20% of the online players used the Captains glitch. Don't you think that it would be bad for business for SDS to ban 20% of its online player base? Also, where do you draw a line on the bans? Did the player do it once online, did they do it for 45 staraight games? What is that cutoff? If I am in the business of making an enjoyable sports game the word enjoyable matters. Getting banned sucks, I was banned for reversing one stub purchase immediately without using any of the content. FOr 10 years I never request a refund, hundreds of $5-$100 purchases if not more than a thousand. Playstation support offered it up without a request on my end and SDS banned me citing PS banning me. PS says I was never banned and they didn't know what I was talking about. I am still banned on my SevisonJN account.
I have been a heavy SDS supporter, but I cannot condone that behavior. Plus as a software tester for a living, when I look at bugs I look at the loss of functionality or the exploitability of the bug. In the case of the Captains boost it works as designed until you swap players, but that only gets you a bench spot since the functionality as designed was to allow the Captain to be swapped out immediately after the game started and still keep the boost. So the guy who isn't exploiting the glitch ends up with the same perks minus an extra bench player. That is the reason why this glitch is low for me as far as importance. Now, if the code was designed so that the Captain had to stay in the starting spot to get the boost and the glitch allowed you to gain attributes and not have the negative attributes of the Captain card that would be a bigger issue IMO.
