Captain glitch no longer works?
-
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.

Bad for business is letting the other 80% get screwed. You people are morons around here.

@SkunkyTrees1977
I don't like the getting screwed argument. Let's say contact goes up by 10 verses R and L. There are other cards that can be used that are about as good. I think it limits flexibility to some extent, but I will say it again... the attribute boost is not broken for you if you start Captain Ripken at third and immediately replaces him with someone on your bench as soon as the game starts. If you blame your losses on another person utilizing a captain boost and you are not utilizing one, that is on you. You do not have to cheat to utilize the boost as coded. There is no ban for starting and immediately pulling a captain.

Again, SDS and most of us, isn't talking about banning people that start a Captain, to get the boost, and then swapping him out in game. They're talking about the one where you can put a different version of a Captains card in an out of position spot and then tab over to the Captains page where you could select that captain, where it would tell you a different version was already in play, thus allowing you to use the boost and not even have the Captain card in the lineup at all.
Search YouTube and you'll see what I mean.

@X-FREEZE-OFF-X
I know what the glitch is and I think it is minor. Let's say you replace Ripken with the best version of Ripken. Is Ripken the best card you could have used at third and still got a bonus? Nope, but you saved a bench spot. If you had to swap you would likely get a better starter than Ripken with a better swing and only use a bench spot. Are the team attributes different in either scenario? No. So the only loss is a bench spot and yet people are acting like the world is falling.
-
You do that lose a bench spot with the glitch for which they're banning people.
What happens is they start, for the durability glitch, MS Ripken at 3rd. Then they fill the rest off the tem with players that have 99 Durability. Even the 4 bench spots. Then they go over to the Captain's to select Ripken. But it doesn't put the Captains card in the lineup. Then they switch the MS Ripken out for someone else and all the players get the boost even though a Captains card isn't even in the lineup. This is BEFORE they enter the matchmaking screen.
