Solution to cheaters?
-
People that care about owning every card are not the same people that care about cheaters in ranked.
The same people that care about cheaters in ranked are not the same people that care about the 20 card limit.
The people that care about the 20 card limit don’t care about mini seasons wins not tracking.
Nobody cares unless it affects them. SDS won’t care until the stubs stop getting bought

The cheating thing has really taken what little wind there was out of my sails. Im not going to be giving sds any more money this year.
Next year i really want to try nms. Especially if there are thousands of cheaters just letting the cheat run miniseasons while they go to bed and then wake up to hundreds of packs. Its demoralizing knowing that sds is allowing that to happen while I the rest if us run miniseasons for the 40th time for a 10 bundle of bronze. Im done caring.

@go4stros25_PSN I am with you, the game feels off now and its a shame. I enjoyed the grind and trying to compete. I would play a ton, tried playing a game today and lost interest very fast. Sad day for me and I don't see how SDS can change things. Really unfortunate. All the best on the Diamond and hope you don't run into cheater. (We don't even know if they are cheating really, In YFK's video the cheater just toggled it and seemed normal)
-
@HorrorAssassin9_PSN and that guy had the balls to say he paid $200 plus $30 every month for the cheats only to use it to grind miniseasons. Yeah, some "grind".
And he admitted he was on an alt a account. I guarantee his main account is level 1000 with millions of stubs.

I'm confused. If theyre running the cheat to grind mini seasons how does it work if theyre not constantly hitting HRs?
And if theyre constantly hitting HRs, doesnt the score cap at a certain number?

@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN the guy in the video said that there are settings you can adjust so that the cpu will eventually get itself out.

Ok. That makes sense. But are there also settings that will leave the game and enter into a new game?
I'll be honest. I didnt watch the video, nor do I care to watch it, as YFK irks me and I cant even handle a few seconds of him.
-
@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN yeah hea a dbag. Idk the details, the guy just said the program will run miniseaosns on repeat while you got to work or sleep. So you could go to sleep, get up, go to work, and get home to hundreds on free packs.
And then he said the software will also go through and open all the packs and automatically list all of your duplicates on the market.
Its insane.
Also, these guys are clearly willing to spend money to gain an advantage, so sds is likely losing a ton of people who would normally be buying stubs. They must be pissed off about all the money they are losing.
-
@eatyum_PSN I wonder how much people actually spend on stubs? Apparently many people aren’t spending like they would. They’re cheating instead.
How many is irrelevant to Sony.
They'd rather have 1000 people spending a million dollars than 100,000 spending $500,000. -
@Graeves-_PSN Well, yeah. There has to be some sort of formula to determine max purchases from the community, whatever that may be. It seems to me that they’re trending in the wrong direction, though. A lot of people are saying they are losing interest in the game because of the cheaters. So if those 1,000 people spending a million cause 200,000 people to not only stop buying stubs, but also stop buying the game, they’ll really be in trouble.

-
I know why they cheat. It’s so they can brag that they have this amount of fake money and cards they can’t really do anything with.
Its got to be more than that. There has to be some kind of monetary reward we're not figuring out here. If they spend that much money plus a sub the reward has got to be double or more that in real money. Revealing how they cheat is just the tip of the iceberg.

@PAinPA_PSN this is true if you have a long-term vision/plan for the business/product in question. I have my doubts as to whether Sony has one for MLB The Show and SDS.
-
SDS is compromised! I don't think there is any way around whatever program is being used to cheat. These people just ruined the game for me and Im sure a lot of people. All of these people should be banned. This whole thing just sucks. I put in the time, the grind for stubs and to complete every program possible the right way. My wife hates it but this game calms me after working every day. It seems SDS is now putting their efforts on a mobile game and not even trying to combat this issue. Incredibly disappointed.

@ryguy034753_XBL yeah I have tulo and 99 miggy I’ve had some lucky pulls put flipped a lot of cards and played a lot of mini seasons and I bought stubs one it was the one time offer of 7500 stubs for like 2$. U do not need to spend money to get everything u want.
-
@Rubbaneck34_XBL this is what I’m taking it as I feel like this is why so many ppl are mad. It’s almost like there turning a blind eye to cheaters and just worrying about mobile…
-

Yeah, they've only been putting The Show out for a few years now.
It will probably be like MLB2K in another couple years and be finished. Or another twenty years and be finished.: |

@Graeves-_PSN the fact that it’s been around only proves that they had a long-term vision when they started (or that they got to one along the way). I don’t see how it proves they still have one - and well if they actually still do the execution appears spotty at best.
put another way, do you see this game going 20 more years? do you think they do?

Oh, proof. I thought since there's no proof there isnt a plan, I thought that was the order of the day, no proof. -
I've played more mini seasons and conquest this year than ever and I'm still using cards I like opposed to the meta (seager, albies, tucker, Polanco, jram, ketel, acuna) I guess you could argue they're meta but I feel like attribute wise there are better cards
The whole online experience before the cheating is just not the most enjoyable (lag, bunt dance, pitch substitution with 2 strike counts, random slide steppibg, excessive pause, dashboard whenever you get in a roll hitting, etc. It's just not that enjoyable before even considering the cheating.
I've enjoyed 2026 but I'm not grinding, I'm not trying to make world series, I'm not fighting for stubs, I'm not going after tulo. In years past I tried to do this stuff fast and keep up with the content creators. A few years ago it almost felt like homework. Bashing the cpu on rookie to give monthly Topps now done fast in one day, etc. That was tedious.
Players above I've had p5 for like a month. I don't care, I'm still using them. In the past once I p5'd anyone they were retired
