Equipment exploit
-
I really paid a price for leaving open orders last night on equipment items. Those have been my go to flips the last few years. When I started playing today I saw all my purchases went through and the items had lost nearly all their value.
Great to see they left open an exploit on RTTS that was posted on YouTube (and apparently TikTok before that). Now we get the ancillary benefit of increased prices on LS cards thanks to the increased injection of stubs into the market. Not an ideal start to the year for me. Of course, I guess some made a very nice windfall off the exploit.

Just do rtts and grind for an hour. You'll get back at least 60k...

I'm curious to see, if they patch the exploit, if the prices will rebound or if they're beyond repair.
-
I think at this point the damage is done so they will fix it but I doubt they will be in a hurry to do it. My advice is use the exploit SDS ( fools ) did because of a BUG and make a few hundred K off the quick sell values and move on.
-
Lol me as well but I'm waiting for the prices to rebound, ended up making 4 k then lost 3 k in investment and it is just a wash but I'm guess two weeks investing may be better but removing cap from dd will have an effect on things as well
-
@ShadowWalker166
I am holding as well as there just is not much risk to waiting with prices bottomed out. The comments in the video suggest the method does not work anymore, so perhaps that may help some, but I agree that equipment will not have the same appeal it has in years past with the changes to the cap. Oh well, over the course of the game cycle I suppose 150k is relatively not that much. -
Hopefully, they ban everyone who exploited this, as it does in fact violate TOS.
-
@GradektheBard that’s a slippery slope, bc you don’t change anything in game, you just play RTTS. You can’t ban people for just playing RTTS.
-
@Nauracy34
Not really, they could just ban people who did it yesterday for say 10 days from online play. Thus, the people who were legitimately playing RTTS could continue to do so, but the people exploiting it for DD would be penalized (as they should be).
-
You can’t fault people for trying to catch up when everyone else is running an exploit. As for “10 days after the start”, some people do that organically. I do all conquests, then go RTTS to make stubs. I did this without knowing about the exploit, but saw all my equipment tank, so I knew something was up. Hopefully they can patch it
-
I'm shocked and happy to hear SDS finally patched this.
Since they can quickly patch the rtts diamond equipment glitch, how about patching the cpu pitchers late pitch release to reduce the absurd amount of balls thrown?

it took them over 24 hours to patch it. If you think that's fast to fix an exploit then clearly you've never played madden or 2k lol
-
@GradektheBard How? You can literally just play RTTS and do this. SO people who just pick a certain architect should get banned? How bout they fix the game.
-
I'm not annoyed that people took advantage of a broken mechanic by SDS (they themselves didn't glitch anything- it was actually a broken mechanic). I'm very annoyed that it took this garbage company 24 hours to fix it.

24 hours is relatively fast considering every other issue with the game that's being ignored. The biggest one Is CPU pitch release being consistently late, causing too many walks and a frustrating gaming experience. They've known about this since day 1, we're on day 7. If they can "QUICKLY" fix a equipment exploit glitch that's made many ppl hundreds of thousands if stubs for an hour worth of exploiting, then they can fk'n fix this annoying pitchinh shyte!
In regards to Madden, bro, I was the grandmaster of coin selling. I've made thousands of $$$ over the yrs in Madden before all the coin companies ruined it in Mut, Fut, etc with botting. Everyone's doing it now, causing the prices to drop significantly. In Fifa, 1 mil coins is like 30 dollars. Back when I did it, 100k was 30-40 dollars.
I must have never played Madden,,,
Little bro doesn't even know who -
The same thing has happened the past w years. Why would you trust the equipment market this year? There's always some dumb rtts exploit.
-
This was NOT an exploit -- players that did this did nothing wrong except take advantage of the bug SDS should have NOT had in the game. The way to get it done did not involve importing a roster of 0's into the game or something like that all you had to do is play the game using the ONE card that was bugged. Also how in the blue heck does this not get caught I mean do they have 10 yr olds coding there game ?? In all honestly starting to think that is true cause some of these bugs seem so silly and avoidable with just a little bit of testing. However it was easier from them to have the players do there bug testing then pay others to do it.
SDS -- Shameful is what you are
-
I have no issue with it not being caught during coding -- I know nothing of that. I do have a problem with SDS apparently doing no testing and instead depending on "the community" to pay them money to do their job for them.
PATHETIC.

The simplest answer is that I have always made a nice profit flipping equipment in years past.

Technically you are 100% correct.
However, the feature was not working as intended. People knowingly took advantage of this bug, which resulted in them making at least 300k - millions of stubs, depending on how many times they did this.That Technically is an unwritten form of exploit.
Those who missed out tried this and only got bronze perks/equipment in the same amount of time. Which Technically is not fair to those who found out too late.SDS worked hard to fix this bug, and silently patched it instead of communicating with the community.
Those who made all those stubs by cheating should have their stubs wiped. There's literally no Defending this.But I doubt SDS will do anything about it. So you guys should be safe.
