    Is that what's happening with the seemingly random minute pauses? I always thought it was, like, a kid playing who then had his dad take over or a friend having another better friend play for them. Never thought about the formal cheating angle. But it is very strange how some of the teams I've played who haven't hit anything, pause the game, then come back and hit significantly better.

    I understand the how…Now I’m trying to understand the why?

    This is a video game & people aren’t just cheating by doing something here & there. They’re flat out loading into a game and then just laying their controller down & letting the programs do the playing for them…Ok but why? What are they getting out of it? Sure you get the WS rewards but you’re not earning the wins? Hell, You’re not even playing the game! 🤣…Like why would you load into game after game and not even play? It’s a video game that you’re not even playing. Just sitting there watching a program play. I don’t get it. I don’t get alot anymore though. People are just weird.

    Because these kinds of peole come from a never taught about how good it feels to accomplish something by working hard. I would guess most of them probably played on a sports team while a child and got a trophy because they showed up. Then sat the bench through junior high and high school, but still talk about how THEY were the reason the team won state. Now as adults they get mad because they think everything should be handed to them, yet can't actually work hard. So they cheat to make themselves feel accomplishment, yet at the end of the day they still know they can't win without it and thus just continue to do so.

    It was like you said in around 2020 and it would be a kid who let their big brother take over for a few at-bats, or a kid playing events on bros account and then big brother would take over when they started losing bad. Now that pause is most likely them turning on and off their cheat program. Best way to know is if after they put up 4-5 perfect hits you bring in a submarine pitcher (Roger's or Ohday) and they pause again and can't hit water out of the boat.

    For events and ranked and weekend classic they should award points for pausing for the entire allotted time, bunt dancing, and pausing a whole bunch of times between hits or pitches. Because that makes me want to play more online.

    Same reason why people rage and insist on all meta squads.

    Because they're man babies who haven't the emotional intelligence to cope with losing...in a video game.
