@GoozeFn_PSN Yeah. I was watching that stream. He called out a view watchers in stream this weekend. I get it sometimes though. There are a lot of braindead questions in the chat. I imagine it gets grating. Still though, it could have been handled better.

YFK, yes he's an arrogant not nice guy at times but he's good, real good. Plus, his rants on the issues with the game are great.By far the most obnoxious, immature, performative 'streamer' out there.
Like what you like, but racism, homophobia and endless raging is not my idea of entertaining.

@MadDogTannen777_XBL loser mentality

@MadDogTannen777_XBL that’s the mindset that is killing this game.

@doobiebross66-72_PSN I’m sorry but 40k cheaters wowwww. It made me realize that my petty suspicions that guys who have magically come back on me and win after pausing for a min after not hitting at all maybe not be so petty. I play at a fairly high level it made me realize how many cheaters I actually play this needs to be addressed or this game will die. And this problem is way worse then i thought I knew it was bad people don’t magically pause for 1 min 20 and start perfecting everything but I didn’t i know it was 40k bad… something needs to be done!

Sadly I think this combined with SDS being tone deaf, overcorrecting, aggressively pushing people towards online play, screwing over offline players, increased monetization, decreased rewards and XP.
It’s looking really bad and this could be the end. At the very least I think they lose a massive piece of their player base.

Will SDS really do anything? The sad part is if the person wouldn't have allowed access to YFK or the people doing it would have actually followed the spreadsheet, this would have never came out. I can see cheaters pretty easily because I am incredibly analytical. I saw them in PUBG long before anyone else. Matter of fact I mentioned radar to one of the big streamers extremely early in PUBG and the guy blocked me. It was years later before they resolved the radar thing. Normal people don't have a voice. We have to wait until a streamer comes out. PUBG radar cheat got so big they finally couldn't ignore it. Well, this is already big. PGA also has a huge cheating problem that is being ignored. Online gaming is just in a really bad spot. Sony and Microsoft should have handled this YEARS ago.

Would be a shame if this led to all online gaming littered with microtransactions going the way of the dinosaurs.
I would love if sports gaming got back to its roots and wasn’t reliant on gambling addicts and microtransactions to generate revenue.

@DemIsE4_XBL I feel like there has to be a way for them to tell there just has to be other games have figured it out. I feel like sds is just to scared to lose players.

You will eventually lose more players by not addressing the cheating problem. What I'm worried about is games like Fortnite, COD, etc are massive and they don't do a good job of handling cheats. What can you honestly expect out of a much smaller company? I don't think the answer is for gaming companies to try to ban the device but rather ban the users using them.

@DemIsE4_XBL there has to be a way to detect a device being used there just has to be.

As I've said before, a Microsoft executive said years ago that all gaming companies have the tools to detect these. Can't find the executive's quote but found this:
Yes, Microsoft has, on multiple occasions, indicated that they provide tools and technologies at the platform level (via APIs or system-level integration) to help gaming companies detect cheats.

@DemIsE4_XBL so this isn’t a lack of knowledge it’s a lack of care is what I’m getting here am I right ?

Likely for most companies. It is a constant battle especially for games like Fortnite and COD with heavy populations. It takes a lot of resources to combat these. Once you ban the device, they find a workaround within days. I think the Playstation ban lasted the longest and that was less than a week.
I still think targeting the individuals using them with a hardware ban is the best bet for now until Sony and Microsoft realize most gaming companies don't have the resources. I don't have any idea though how this would work. Not sure if you need approval from Sony/Microsoft to ban the hardware but I would also think you would need the proof to cover your [censored] from a lawsuit by a cheater for a hardware ban. As you can see, even this would take resources and SDS is a pretty small company.
In all fairness to SDS, they really haven't had an issue with cheaters until the last few years. Those being pitching with a certain device and I saw some of these but not too many. Now, they are obviously getting more sophisticated with this newest one. It will only get worse if nothing is done. This one going around is literally a game breaker. I am quite certain I have seen it twice in the last 3-5 ranked games that I actually played and I am sitting around the 500's.
This is why I have always said Sony and Microsoft should just add a few dollars to their subscriptions and use that solely for cheat prevention. I don't think a majority of gamers would have an issue with this if it cleared up this problem and it would be no additional cost to Sony and Microsoft. Win-win. Blows my mind this hasn't been done.

@Onix_Savage22_PSN
Not all of those people are cheating on MLB The Show, the server has cheaters from a ton of games, but it is definitely concerning that the cheating discord is picking up The Show -
TheRupster12_XBL I mean just a matter of time till its catches and spreads like wild fire. If sds doesn’t have an anti cheat or any attempt to stop it what so ever here soon we are in the final days of this game being playable. I give it till June let’s say another month if not changes are made.

I'd like to watch content creators but that would cut into my watching paint dry time.
And my video game playing time.
