Sorry, but don’t agree to ban the glitchers

IF there is a punishment, it will be a ban from Diamond Dynasty. You lose all your stubs and all your cards you earned throughout the year. You are essentially erased Pete Rose style. So while all of you with pitchforks who either missed out OR have an ethical high ground are begging for the players who got it on this to get banned and lose their entire team and not be able to play the game again for the foreseeable future, keep in mind your gonna be losing maybe as much as a quarter of the player base. This will mean less cards in circulation and certainly less $$$ is SDS pocket so I don’t know how wise it is for everyone. It’s a mistake that SDS made and people took advantage of it. Is it illegal, yes. BUT I would think of a more appropriate punishment than a ban. It wasn’t cheating, it was exploiting. Neither are right, but there is a difference. Using Josh Hader or Michael King is an exploit. Using bots to play your game or work the market is cheating. Both are wrong, but there is a difference and punishment (if there is one) needs to be appropriate. Again, this was SDS’s mistake and people took advantage of it. You either participated or you didn’t. You have a right to be mad if you didn’t. ABSOLUTELY! But demanding a ban is a bit harsh.

So its perfectly ok for some people to have ripped thousands of packs and hundreds of ballen packs in one night?? If some people did it a few times ok maybe not ban them, the others absolutely, goodnight bye bye, dont pass go, you are gone! Some of us have been playing everyday for months and havnt had half of those packs. Anyone coming on here stating there shouldnt be a ban or some type of punishment, Get outa here dudes. Hush up. And dont compare this to using josh hader or Michael King its not even close. You all sound idiotic.
I didnt mean to steal your wallet it was hanging out of your pocket and easy for me to take. Thats the mentality.

Lol yeah ban players for using that glitch, all while your probably a person spamming King and Hader ever ranked game. Please this was SDS's mistake. If they aren't going to ban OBVIOUS CHEATING!!!!! Then you can't expect them to ban people who just exploited their buggy mess of 26. That's why yoi can't do MTO to get XP anymore and why franchise doesn't allow XP anymore. Because their game was glitchdd in I wanna say 24 and people could just turn down the sliders and sim whole season and get massive XP in franchise. Blame SDS for bugged coding.
-
@Rhyno1986_XBL you are really comparing people using josh hader and king to getting and opening up thousands of packs? Two cards that are 92 overall and wont even be viable in another week or so. Come on man. Most people agree with me. go on Twitter. Everyone is calling for year long bans. I can just imagine the little nerds up all night long ripping packs all night. Losers.

It’s not cheating, it’s a massive mistake on SDS’s part. They F’d up and the few caught on to it and won.
Here is a quote that is on MLB The Show's Code of Conduct
It is also part of PlayStations code of conductFrom MLB The Show
https://theshow.com/mlb-the-show-online-code-of-conduct/You may not cheat, exploit or use any bugs, glitches, vulnerabilities or unintentional game mechanics in PlayStation Network or any of its products or services to obtain an unfair advantage.
From PlayStation Code Of Conduct
https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/account/community-code-of-conduct/Do not use any bugs, glitches, vulnerabilities, or unintentional mechanics in PlayStation products or services to get an advantage.
So, if people exploited the the glitch/bug they are responsible for their actions, regardless whether SDS made the mistake that introduced the glitch

@Dolenz_PSN exactly! Ill be laughing when all the bans start coming. They messed with sds and their money. It will be happening.

Well, I am not as confident that the bans are incoming but if they are then I won't shed a tear for those who knowingly exploited it.

I mean… who gets to define “advantage”? And who is it an advantage against? It wasn’t a gameplay exploit. And, everyone could do it, so it wasn’t an advantage over any other person.
100% the only reason this will be a big deal for SDS is because it made getting easiest a loss to SDS.

You don't see players exploiting what was known to be a glitch to earn 1000's of packs that those who did not exploit will never be given the chance to earn an advantage?
Sure it may not help them win actual games but it definitely gives them an advantage on collections and earning players/stubs some of us will never come within spitting distance of all year.
Another player who boasted about it on X played 146 games with the average time between games at 1 minute 23 seconds. They took a break and came back and played 119 more with a gap of 1 minute and 31 seconds between games. Their post bragging about it was accompanied by a picture of the collection screen for Tulo
This is something that should be very easy for SDS to detect if they really wanted to.
-
@Dolenz_PSN 4100 packs!! 820 ballen packs! Plus...108 mini season bundles in one night. Thats equal to months if not an entire year's worth of grinding for the average player. And some of you do not think they deserve to be banned!? Sds will lose all credibility if these players do not get banned.
-
It was over 800 BIAH packs. 4100 standard and 800 BIAH, you don’t earn that over a year of playing. Ban or lose the good and fair customers.
-
@paullyg24_MLBTS right!! Unbelievable. Probably cannot grind that many packs in an entire years game cycle. Right. Even if i did this lets say. Id probably stop at a few hundred packs. These idiots doing thousands. Ban them! Bye bye dont let the door hit you in your a ...
-
Wow, I spammed the [manure] out of the wbc ms the first month , completed 40 or so and didn't get 25% of that amount of packs.
-
@Dolenz_PSN it’s an advantage anyone could do, though. That’s all I’m saying. Don’t get me wrong, I certainly think it’s shady. And I wouldn’t do it out of fear of getting banned. But I could have. You could have also. Anyone could have.
The only reason I can see SDS taking any action of this is not because there was an advantage against other players. It’s because there was an advantage against SDS.
It’s like counting cards in blackjack. Counting cards does not hurt the other players. But it hurts the casino so you’ll get removed if they find out.
SDS hasn’t taken any action against the market bots, the cheaters, the massive amount of bugs in the game, etc. I have a feeling something will come of this though.
But not because of an advantage users have over other users.
-
@Dolenz_PSN how do you sit there and even open all of those lol.
-
Your argument has a few flaws.
For one, not everyone could have done it. People who don't follow the game's content creators or reddit may not have known about it. People may have been on vacation.
And you are wrong about it not hurting other players. Market inflation affects all of us.
And yes, someone who used the glitch in general has an advantage over someone who did not. Not only do they have Tulo, they also have JRam and Marte while making it more expensive for someone without Marte to get him. They have an advantage with the next legends collection as well.
And in general exploits tend to lead towards the game becoming less player friendly. A good example of this is the bunting bots in 2024 multiplayer that led SDS to change the ranked path to being almost purely offense (and Ks) based instead of innings as a baseline with offense to speed it up. People exploiting RTTS players, created stadiums, etc. Plenty of examples.

I disagree with you and everyone involved should be banned.

To my knowledge they have never banned people for exploiting a glitch like this. Anyone know any different?
Stub/market manipulation gets banned but you can do these or use 3rd party devices.

Bad comparison.
Counting cards does not affect other cost for other players at the backjack table.
As I sit here this morning and look at the 1 card I was hoping to save enough stubs to buy I see that his price was
5/30 = 162K
5/31 = 211K
6/1 = 255KThat is a 93K price spike in two days. A 57% increase. I was going to have a hard enough time getting to the 162K. It now seems impossible. So people using the glitch did affect my game.
Now, I still am dubious whether they will actually ban people, although there were people so blatant and brazen about it that they should blame those folks. The person whose game log I was able to look up posted their PSN name on X and bragged about having Tulo now. Seems like low hanging fruit when it comes to banning.
-
@Dolenz_PSN how do you sit there and even open all of those lol.
Easily if you don't have Judge or Ohtani. lol. I still don't have Ohtani or any of the other collections so you know I didn't do the glitch. I had to play like 20 hours this weekend just to get the boss pack.
