Players banned for cheating.

@LHUBison58_XBL
I think the ban was to make an example of him cuz if they didnt, we'd have thousands more people trying to boost -
@Talkingben9558_XBL Thousands have been boosting. Just look through the leaderboards and look. You won’t have to go long in your search.

@Talkingben9558_XBL He had to have done something else. Had to. It is excessive for a single bot slaughter. But if he is manipulating the matchups to play a number of bots, or something of that ilk he deserves it. I also read somewhere he blocks all the top players on the leaderboards to ensure he plays dudes he can pack. Again, I don’t know any of the facts beyond he was banned for beating up a bot. But something is not adding up.
I don't think blocking people keeps you from matching up with them. Ive blocked a few people and I've still matched up with them.
Edit: unless "blocking" is different on XBox than it is on PS.

@Teak2112_MLBTS If you want to be merciful then so be it. But others like to run it up, And why shouldn’t they? Everything from paralleling to completing programs depends on racking up stats. But then SDS says no no - Not too much at once. It’s absurd.
-
Ok so if he got matched up against bots , he's not cheating. Exploiting yes , but not cheating. I've done that . not my fault i got matched with a bot .
-
If you have the means I would advise to only play on PS. In several years I’ve only ran into a bot once and it was XBox. I got to 10 and mercied.

And you are only exploiting if you are using it to parallel cards and run up stats. Get your 10 runs and get out.
What sucks is they ruined the online programs because of those bots already by removing the innings missions that were great for those of us who cant hit. Online is no longer fun for me because I'm CONSTANTLY worrying about my offense instead of just playing the game regardless of opponent's pitching.

And now Frostie's mom is suing SDS for discrimination and he's trying to get other streamers banned. He doesn't seem to understand that he cheated
-
@sbchamps17_NSW what a joke lol. Frostie should get his resume ready and get a real job like the rest of us. Or a career. You cant sue a video game company because you made money off their game. Good luck. Or go play another game. If you are that talented should be the best at any game.
-
@sbchamps17_NSW Good…This will force SDS to pull back the curtain in court. Then we will ALL finally get to see how the sausage is made. If SDS wants to keep their dirty secrets then they’ll settle.
-
@IrishFist412_MLBTS or we may end up seeing the streamers dirty secrets. Works both ways. 80x flawless i for one would like to know if he is really that good or if there is something else going on. And a 365 day ban tells me something else is going on.

If it makes it that far, violation of ToS is pretty clear cut ,don't see how you can argue around that, I don't have any info of this but I'm guessing it's a loss of income thing, first thing any lawyer would say is there are other games....
They probably will pursue it anyway but I don't think there is a case here. -
Streamers get catered to like crazy. It's nice to see one get banned. HOWEVER, I don't really understand banning someone for 365 days for matching up with a bot and doing what every one of us would probably do: exploit it and get what we can out of it. Unless of course there is something else we don't know.
-
@SpawnOfDitka_XBL 100% more than a singular bot boost game.

The only way I can think to truly exploit it is to purposefully keep the game going by walking in runs to avoid the mercy rule and run up the stats and PXP. That would be pretty easy to check. Shoot, SDS could even have a system that automatically flags any online game that scores over a certain amount of runs or flags games that score a certain amount of runs and goes past the 4th inning.
In those cases game logs are a thing. All they have to do is check and see if the player has walked dozens upon dozens (if not 100 or more) of batters.

I highly recommend reading this on X. Hilarious to read through a few people on the streamer’s X feed. I’m assuming the older female is his mother. It’s worth a read.

Chance of something we dont know is about the same odds as your next pack not having Ohtani

We at the forum are hardish core players, the thing about this is, what if your some random player that comes home from work logs in and grabs a beer, matches a bot (doesn’t know they’re playing one, why would they) and puts up 25 runs, goes bed thinks they’re having an awesome night on the show, and then comes home the next the day and see that they’re banned for boosting and they have no idea why. This whole thing makes no sense.
-
@jcassaro44_PSN dude have you read any of the comments!! He didnt get banned for boosting against a bot man. There is more to it.

Definitely a false statement.
