Hitting needs to be loosened up.
-
So haven't been to the boards in a few days: Two threads about online opponents swinging at everything hitting HRs on every pitch off the plate. One thread that online hitting is too hard and perfect/perfects are outs. Honestly I feel for SDS in this situation how do you win here? (FYI I don't play online so my opinion means nothing)
Well you keep the game as it is and do something about the cheaters.
Video with Adam playing a top 10 player scoring 6 runs on legend in Coors Field. Sure looked like someone playing without their cheats. Would be interesting to see how many runs that guy scores when not playing a streamer. Here's what I think is happening. SDS saw how many people are cheating and was scared the player base would dwindle. I actually think more people would play knowing cheaters were being dealt with. I think there are way fewer elite players than people think there are. Like way fewer.

@DemIsE4_XBL this issue is single handedly pushing me away I hate knowing I’m playing fair and the guy on the other side may not be. I haven’t rly gotten to a high enough level to face any cheaters this season rly maybe only 2/3 I suspect of it but for me this season the killer is the rng. Feels like it’s in the script for me to lose some games I deserve to win. I just get rly sus when pitcher is going with max confidence has 10 ks in the 5th looks untouchable then the guy loads the bases and perfects a homerun after looking stupid for the first 5 innings and u go on to lose despite out playing the guy.
Sorry for the venting answers I just need to vent about my experiences today because it’s making me never wanna pick up this game again.

Cheaters are at every level. They are not using their cheats 100% of the time or it would be too obvious. They are toggling them on and off and mixing in contact swings. Just as I've said before, I could use it and beat you every time and you wouldn't have a clue I was using it. Fools a lot of people.
Over 1/2 the people I've reported have not played a game this ranked season. Could be banned or maybe they haven't played yet but usually these people are on every day.

@DemIsE4_XBL this is very interesting I am usally never shy to report even the slightest suspicion I will report immediately. I’ve never thought of going and checking if they have played since tho cause some people I’m sorry they just turn up at the most predictable times sometimes. Not to mention my normal flipping well is running dry margins are aweful rn. I just have no motivation to play atm and usally I try to support this game. But I’m gonna let the dust of today settle tomorrow is a new day if tmro and the next few days go like this i may turn more casual.

I've reported probably dozen people or so. Only wrote down the names of 7 and 4 of them haven't played this season. 2 of them were recent and either weren't or they haven't checked yet. Hell, maybe they haven't checked any or they weren't cheating and haven't played. Who knows?
Usually if ban waves happen there are posts about it so I don't think they have addressed the issue yet. If they are only going off reports, that is a bad deal and it will only get worse. You have to be proactive. If you're going to make stubs hard to get and make the best cards cost lots of stubs, at least tackle the cheating issue. Milking for money and not addressing cheaters is unacceptable. If you think those cheaters in that discord are the only ones in the game, you are sorely mistaken.
-
@DemIsE4_XBL hell man that discord leaked probably isn’t the only discord either for all we know there could be a complete other discord full of cheaters that wasn’t leaked there could be 10-15 more servers full of cheaters and this is where I hate my over thinking and this mental ripple effect is ruining the whole way I view this game I can’t help but feel a good fraction of my losses are to cheaters it’s just when they turn up at the most predictable times that rly gets to me.
-
@Onix_Savage22_PSN why I said i dont know how you deal with playing in the 900 ranks. I also like my competitive edge. But this game is the opposite of competitive. Between the rng and cheating, yeah no thanks ill stay in the 600 ranks.
-
@SpawnOfDitka_XBL yeah idk I wasn’t even rly trying for 900s just kinda ended up there. I like to stay atleast in 700s cause this game plays god aweful on all star it’s unbearable id actually no joke rather watch paint dry. The rng has been getting worse but I will try and forget it tmro tmro is a new day today will be in the past but if this rng feeling like the game is against me starts feeling like a new normal I may start spreading out my gaming experience more. Other than just playing mlb and nothing else.
-
and just watched Adam play another top 50 player that looked like they forgot how to play the game. That [censored] sticks out like a sore thumb to me. Zero chance another top 50 player looks like [censored] most of the game. This game needs a serious purge and it needs to include everyone including streamers and top 50 players.
-
@DemIsE4_XBL we know the action we need to take sadly not everybody will take this needed step. But it’s rly starting to feel like the only way this gets resolved.
-
@DemIsE4_XBL couldnt agree more. The cheating with these so called top players has to be a high percentage of them. No doubt. Do you think alot of these streamers are cheating also. I mean wouldn't we see it on their videos?
