What is this cheating meta?

@TheJeweledLotus_PSN -- without getting too deep into it, suffice it to say that this is a complex issue for many reasons and there aren't really any "easy fixes".
That said, yes, I agree with you. The brazenness can be pretty shocking.
Has something changed in the last few years? A Microsoft Executive said in an interview that every gaming company has the tools to detect these devices (probably through the API). I understand you can't ban the devices themselves as COD, BF6, Sony and Microsoft have tried and failed. Why can't the players using these be detected and banned with no whitelisting? Shouldn't matter if you're a 5,000 viewed streamer or Jimmy Nobody. You guys permanently ban people for stub/market manipulation (which I agree with) but these people are basically stealing stubs and ruining the online experience.

Apparently they are just now asking streamers about Hader? Thats insane. its been going on 2 years. His strike zone isnt correct, you can get strikes called on pitches clearly away out of the zone.

@theBlindRhino_PSN the [Redacted by staff] doesnt even help in this game, its another device with a script you have to purchase. Obviously Im not gonna say it, but just dont want people investigating the wrong path

However, I am not a streamer so it doesn't matter
I hate that this is fairly accurate. Listening to the few over the many is what drove EA's NHL series into the ground to the shambles it is now.

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.
when you see a cheater, switch to 87 tyler rogers, the program can't calibrate a sub mariner. Unfortunately you might have to finish the game with him!

@ANF_GOLD99_PSN yeah this will get u thru 2 maybe 3 innings against the cheater

O’Day works too, I think

Trying to be less negative.

@Onix_Savage22_PSN FLAWS? This game is truly this biggest piece of garbage on the market. I hope they go bankrupt.
Isn't it easier and quicker impact for you if you simply don't play or buy The Show?
I have no desire to play EA Soccer so I couldn't care less if they earned a bazillon dollars or went belly up. Neither impact me. -

This may be true for now but at some point they always correct problems like this. A certain device was banned from PS5 and I believe they had a workaround in a matter of days (actually quite sure). I'm sure they are already working on this issue or maybe even have it resolved.

Whenever I start feeling depressed, I remind myself that there are people that cheat at video games and I feel much better. Better than any antidepressant on the market.
