@fubar2k7 I am not going to look but I believe the boost works when a team shares certain characteristics. With Cal is in durability. So players who share his durability ranking get boosts to other attributes that matter. Like contact and power and vision.

I got it now. I had a senior moment. If they have high durability like him it’ll boost whatever attributes. So everyone got a boost since everyone has high durability.

I think SDS really needs to focus on having a mute function on opponent's bells and whistles for every simple accomplishment. I don't want to hear screaming or movie quotes every time I strike out. I've had my monitor on without sound for the last four months because I just got tired of it. At the very least only have that nonsense available for the home team to make it somewhat realistic.
No kidding! Especially if im the HOME team. I shouldn't hear ANY of there gibberish. All it does is makes me mute the TV. Get rid of created stadiums as well online ranked.

We are aware and looking into it.
This is also a good time to mention that if you are participating in the abuse of exploits such as this, you are putting your account at risk for suspension.
The MLB The Show Online Code of Conduct can be found here:
https://theshow.com/mlb-the-show-online-code-of-conduct/Let’s also be fair as long as your cupping the company funbits. The foul ball issue has been going on for 2 years SDS has admitted it. So directional hitters just swing and foul and foul and foul until the game engine just puts the ball down the middle. So by your theory of people exploiting known issues all directional players should be banned too.

I don’t think it’s a big issue. It makes it where you can use your 99 instead of a 95 captain released in the same season. I only used this against the cpu recently since finding out about it. Hope that’s not a problem.

@LIONED-33
Directional hitttng is definately not an exploit. You put yourself at a major disadvantage by using that in competitive gameplay. Go try it in a RS game and you'll see for yourself. -
I have not used this but everyone I play against takes their trash Cap out in the 1st inning anyway.... So no big deal to me.
Regardless, SDS seemingly nerfed some card attributes for the sake of Captains, to make it where you almost need to use a Captain. If the Cap cards were actually good, then this exploit would not even be relevant.

You do realize that even if they sub out the Captain card; the other players keep the boost.

@X-FREEZE-OFF-X
Yes but same either way. -
I just had a game against somebody … 300-50 some record … Shield Woods (no, not again —> other thread :)) and an active Ripken Boost … Level 3 … but no Ripken anywhere (even on the bench).
I paused and texted him, why he has to use exploits … he is just good without it.
After that, he accepted my friendly request (park-related on my part :)), but spammed my inbox … „I just like to have fun …“Yes, I reported him

@xElRojo44x
I don’t disagree. What I’m saying. Is they know the foul ball thing is an issue they’ve openly addressed it. Well when people continue to use directional hitting this knowing foul balls are an issue…this would be an exploit by the letter of the law.
-
@LIONED-33
Foul balls happen too much because of the OP contact swing, and the outer PCI ring being too big. If they messed with this, then a lot of users would be turned off due to their higher strikeout rate.Instead of so many RS divisions, they should just have something like AS and HOF and you can choose which one to compete in. To me this game plays best on HOF, while a lot of others may prefer AS.

@xElRojo44x I like that idea

Was just looking through the game updates from this season and y’all will be very happy to know that the Captain “glitch” was fixed way back on June 23 by way of DD game update 8 lol see for yourselves!
-
@BxnnyMxn, it's not fixed because I still have the Ripkin boost and I took him out of the game
-
I believe my bunny did a funny. Hahaha thank you for that

I know it is funny, but that was another one … folks, they won‘t do big fixes anytime soon. They are working on 24 and are close to finalizing that for integration tests … We will have a beta in 8 weeks, so I suppose @SDS there is steam coming out of the office

Well, if they're not going to fix it; then they need to do what they said about suspending people that use the glitch.
Heck, they had a Top player put out a video on how to do the glitch and that person is still playing the game.
I played some Event games, on this and my other account, today, and 9 out 10 of my opponents did the glitch by either subbing out Ripken, during his first AB, or by the other way. Someone had the Mookie boost and they had Finest Mookie in their lineup.
Patch it or start throwimg out the ban hammers.

Merry Christmas to you too. Hope you have a happy new year. Stay humble I’m sorry you got beat in MLB the show, but I can guarantee you that the edge wouldn’t have made the difference you would’ve lost you the way.
