How to beat the cheaters
-
If they R2 me, I sometimes respond by waiting a long time before starting my windup on every pitch for the rest of the inning.

Yes.
Alright, I officially declare this to be a troll account. Please refrain from taking him seriously everybody.
Yes, because if I don't agree with you I'm a "troll." Sorry to get in the way of your cheating. Actually, I'm not sorry, because I hope players like you are banned.

Yes.
If it's a in-game mechanic, it cannot be classified as cheating. The opponent is using an in-game mechanic.
It's scummy, and players who do that are prob some of the most annoying players in the game, but it's not cheating.This is what's wrong with this forum. If a feature is being abused by a "scummy" and "annoying" player, IT IS CHEATING. Call it out for what it is.

Using built in features of the game to annoy your opponent is not cheating, it is cheesing. Bunt cheese, R2 cheese, quick menu pausing every 5 seconds, etc. All annoying cheese, but not cheating.
Cheating is gaining an unfair advantage against your opponent from using something foreign to the game (bug/exploit/etc).

Good strategy, but also sad that it's come to that for honest players like us. SDS could probably fix the online game in a few hours by making the above common sense changes and most importantly, banning the cheaters. You could start with a one-week ban and then if they're caught cheating again, a permanent ban.

Everything you just mentioned above is an "exploit." Thank you for proving my point. If you want to call it "cheesing," that's your right, but "cheesing" players should also be removed from the online game. There is no excuse for allowing a group of people to ruin the online experience for everyone else.

Based on the HOME RUN banner fiasco of 2020 I strongly doubt they could fix this in a few hours

Ah no, sorry bud still not cheating, otherwise throwing high sinkers would be cheating.
Annoying for sure, and if you want to report them for rude/obnoxious behavior go ahead.

No I’ll report them for cheating, but thanks.

You posted this 10 days ago. I guess you’re a “snitch.”

Last night I played my 9th H2H game ever. It was a BR game where the screen froze while I was trying to bring in a relief pitcher after my starter got tossed because my opponent kept causing the game to jot allow me to pitch the ball.
I ended up hitting a few batters because of this.
Anyway. I assume the game got thrown into a freeze off.
Since I had a chance to cone back, I decided to wait and see if it would rectify itself.While waiting for this; my opponent decided to send me 53, yes 53 I didn't type that wrong, messages via my console.
They ranged from vulgar messages calling out my supposed sexuality, to my parents' supposed sexuality, to my mentality, and to 28 straight messages, within a 3 minute timeframe, just saying 'Quit'.
Is this what online play is like with this game?
If so, no wonder online play gets a bad rap.

I smell a quick pitcher.
I was thinking the same thing. It would not surprise me at all to learn that after a few instances of quick pitching, various opponents put a stop to it via holding R2 until their batter was set, etc.

Another thread of that 12 year old clown?

I don't know if I should feel bad that you don't understand sarcasm or that you actually had the time and effort to stalk my past posts

The guy who said “snitches get stitches” in response to a perfectly legitimate post says I’m a “stalker?” LOL.

Hahaha, perfectly legitimate post. Now that is funny stuff.

So I guess pressing L2 to replay a HR is “cheating” as well? Or taking a lead? Or stepping off of the mound? Or...
Man, dudes team “finally” wins a WS (I’m sure he is a bandwagon fan) and now thinks everyone owes him something.
I bet he’s the life of the party...

You do know that if you press “options” to pause the game, then go back into the game, the Homerun banner goes away. Not really complaint worthy.
Just sayin’...
