What is this cheating meta?
-
Unlike all the “I played a cheater” threads in years passed, people actually are this year. It’s just kinda hard to tell because even when they cheat The Show is like “that’s baseball”
Apparently some pitchers somehow aren’t updated for the scripts all the time. So when you face a cheater and bring in certain pitchers they all of a sudden can’t swing after scoring like 7 P/P homeruns in a row. Pretty funny tbh. Still haven’t faced one so I doubt it’s as common as people say but I have seen pretty wild clips.

I heard if you use a submariner the cheating programs don't work for that so atleast they'd have to be able to hit your Tyler Roger's. Just leave him in I guess for 100 pitches

I played like 3-5 people last year that I legitimately thought were cheating and I had a ton of games last year. Easily surpassed that number already in like 10% of the games.
You've likely faced someone with one of the cheats. The chronus pitching isn't as obvious but plenty out there. Pretty prevalent so far this year.

I’ve looked into this extensively. A lot of the marketing for this is bs. You need a capture card, a PC that isn’t trash, and a couple other pieces of hardware I won’t mention. A CZ on its own does very little for hitting. Pitching is a different animal. But, to be honest with you I don’t find pitching to be hard on this game. I’ve played a couple of guys who hit p/p every pitch in the zone. Every single one. Was something hinky? Yeah, I just quit out took the L and moved on.

@The412Smoke_XBL they can't figure out how to take shrinking pitches out of their script...you really think they'll figure this out?
-
Get a PS5 and turn off cross play. Problem solved. XBox is for cheaters.
-
How bad is your life if you are cheating on a baseball game for no money but virtual cards that don’t even matter if you have them because the cheating software doesn’t need the top cards. There are so many brain dead people stumbling around in this world.
-
@DemIsE4_XBL That’s sick bro it just wouldn’t be possible for me to care less and take your opinion less seriously than I already do. Unless we make it to like Demise5 and MinevilleMafia37
-
@theBlindRhino_PSN I don’t think it’s an option to turn off cross play in MLB 26
Edit: my bad, didn’t see it until now
-
@The412Smoke_XBL it's on Nintendo switch as far as I'm aware. I disabled cross play on xbox and haven't faced a cheater again.
In the weekend classic I definitely played a cheater on switch, the first 5 pitches I threw were all perfect perfect hr. I then proceeded to throw down and in sliders every single pitch for the remainder of the game and they swing at every single one and didn't get a single hit for rest of game.
-
@MiJuJuKaLa_PSN ngl I don’t know where this option is on PS5
-
@On_a_Power_Trip_PSN top left corner from menu screen I think.
-
Let's be careful not to talk about specific tools and methods here. We don't want to make it any easier for people to do this than it already is.
-
If you play Apex Legends it has been known for years that people are using certain tools for perfect aim. People were slow to admit it was possibly happening on MLB, but I have suspected it for a couple years.
Glad it is finally coming to light.
-
All I know is when you get around the 1,000 mark in ranked seasons and every swing your opponent has is a perfect perfect, if you throw backdoor sliders their cheats don’t work and they have to shut them off and play normal.
That is why you hear your friend Kyle and all those guys complaining about sliders.
-
It’s actually hilarious watching the terrible swings their cheats put on low and inside sliders magically after everything was mashed perfect perfect in any other part of the zone.
-
Funny story, I actually was banned on these forums for two years for bringing up that people were cheating back in 2022.
Around the same time before I got banned I argued with people on this forum that Trevor Bauer may have been innocent and I was also correct about that.

SDS_Joe,
Everyone who has the skill set to do what I described, much less the basic amorality to do it, is well aware of the method basics. Though I do not participate on what is called the "dark web" these cheat codes are frequently discussed in detail and anyone who desires to cheat can easily find them.
Nothing in this thread remotely makes it easier to do. What I wrote itself is so elementary that it would provide no assistance to anyone not already well aware of the details and willing to exploit it. BTW: This is precisely why Sarge and I privately provided SDS a roadmap to kill Lagrassa long before it reared its ugly head, and that was done in private.
I would be far more sympathetic to your reply IF SDS had taken our concerns seriously and implemented the ideal solution, which was very doable. Instead, SDS's actions almost seemed to desire the rise of Lagrassa so it could be exploited as an excuse to do what ended up happening several months later.

I feel bad for @sds_joek_psn he has to come on here and dampen the fires created by a TEAM of people and is at most a singular voice in the decision making process. I really wish SDS would allow for some zoom calls with some of us REAL game users and not their influencer cabal. Get some real feedback from real players. YFK doesn’t come close to representing me and most of the folks I read on here. Yet his voice means so much more to the SDS team. It wouldn’t be hard to look at our posts on here, view our playing data and reach out to schedule a zoom call. It wouldn’t cost them anything more than man hours and could gain feedback. If someone acts like a fool then SDS can hit end call. Won’t happen, but a manchild can dream.
