SDS_Joe,

Everyone who has the skill set to do what I described, much less the basic amorality to do it, is well aware of the method basics. Though I do not participate on what is called the "dark web" these cheat codes are frequently discussed in detail and anyone who desires to cheat can easily find them.

Nothing in this thread remotely makes it easier to do. What I wrote itself is so elementary that it would provide no assistance to anyone not already well aware of the details and willing to exploit it. BTW: This is precisely why Sarge and I privately provided SDS a roadmap to kill Lagrassa long before it reared its ugly head, and that was done in private.

I would be far more sympathetic to your reply IF SDS had taken our concerns seriously and implemented the ideal solution, which was very doable. Instead, SDS's actions almost seemed to desire the rise of Lagrassa so it could be exploited as an excuse to do what ended up happening several months later.

Around the same time before I got banned I argued with people on this forum that Trevor Bauer may have been innocent and I was also correct about that. ‍️

That is why you hear your friend Kyle and all those guys complaining about sliders.

Glad it is finally coming to light.

In the weekend classic I definitely played a cheater on switch, the first 5 pitches I threw were all perfect perfect hr. I then proceeded to throw down and in sliders every single pitch for the remainder of the game and they swing at every single one and didn't get a single hit for rest of game.

Edit: my bad, didn’t see it until now

Unlike all the “I played a cheater” threads in years passed, people actually are this year. It’s just kinda hard to tell because even when they cheat The Show is like “that’s baseball”

Apparently some pitchers somehow aren’t updated for the scripts all the time. So when you face a cheater and bring in certain pitchers they all of a sudden can’t swing after scoring like 7 P/P homeruns in a row. Pretty funny tbh. Still haven’t faced one so I doubt it’s as common as people say but I have seen pretty wild clips.

I played like 3-5 people last year that I legitimately thought were cheating and I had a ton of games last year. Easily surpassed that number already in like 10% of the games.

You've likely faced someone with one of the cheats. The chronus pitching isn't as obvious but plenty out there. Pretty prevalent so far this year.

It's not just MLB The Show that has this problem. I play 2K PGA Tour 25, and all the time I see folks play a round where they hit balls into a sand trap, the rough, or even water, and their next shot is magically on the green or in the fairway! They also routinely nail putts over 30 feet, and hole chips from off the green from 50 yards away. They are obviously using cheats to manually amend the starting point of a shot without penalty being applied, and also use cheat codes that provide feedback on the "perfect" shot that they can then replicate.

With MLB The Show, the obvious avenues of cheat code is to reveal the precise location where a pitch will cross the strike zone, as well as artificially enlarge the PCI for the bat.

I just talked to a content creator on twitter who explained it to me. Evidently there is some software you can use that basically plays for you & plays perfectly. He also said it’s becoming common & it’s not hard to get.

Well we can only hope SDS have an answer soon. This does make me feel better about giving up 14 consecutive hits the other day though.

I saw a vid for this on my FB feed the other day…tragically pathetic.

You also have the glitch where you get frozen at the lineup screen and the opponent sims the game for you taking the win while you take the loss.

This game like all other online games are infested with cheats. Sony and Microsoft let it get way out of hand. I fail to see how the device companies are smarter than the people Sony and Microsoft can find to combat it. Comes down to not wanting to spend the money it would take. Sony/Microsoft should just add a $1 or $2 to the yearly subscription and put that towards a company or people that can get rid of all these devices. Win/win for everyone. Sony/Microsoft doesn't have to pay them out of normal subscription prices and games get cheat free games. Blows my mind this hasn't been done yet.
