So sick of cheaters
-
The clipping the zone is a Fn joke. Seems like a lot of the Cronus Zen pitchers can’t hit very well on legend/hof.
I’m guessing once they figure out how to use that device on 2k it’s going to be easy on other games.

Been playing online a lot this weekend for the challenges, haven't run in to any sweats or cheaters. Have had some really fun games.
You just likely don't notice them. The pitching one is very prevalent. I see this way more than the discord one.
I've been saying for a while this game is infested. WAY too many people dotting with pitchers.
If I'm just not noticing them, shouldn't I be losing a lot more? I am not very good at this game, yet I still win online far more than I lose. Are the cheaters hiding it so well that they are losing on purpose? If so, that seems like an odd use of a cheat. Cheating but losing and not gaining much in the way of stats is pretty strange.

Idk, I still am beating them, but it seems impossible to be clipping at such a high rate with the PARs.

Just seems really weird to cheat just so you can lose and not rack up many stats.

If anyone reading this is actually good at this game you’re a [censored]. Some of yall need to go outside and eat some salad instead of playing video games. Ya you can find your pitches well but your saturated fat filled bodies will never cease to exist

Why do they have to go outside to eat salad?
They dont have salads inside?

I’m not arguing or saying there are more cheaters. But the game loves clipping the zone. Go play a mini seasons. Doesn’t matter the difficulty they dot the [censored] out of you. So maybe it’s cheating in some cases absolutely. I just think it’s how the game is designed. Maybe I’m wrong IDK. We’ll never get a real answer one way or the other.

Grow up. Take some writing courses. Maybe some anger management.

@DannyDFurman_XBL this typical “alpha male gym bro” again. Just read all his posts there’s only 5 and you will catch his drift pretty quick.

The pitching cheat device does not have a hitting cheat with it. Many people struggle with pitching in this game. This device eliminates that struggle. I can use pinpoint very well but with the PARS, I can't nip the edge all the time. I see this frequently.
If they were to ever ban these people you would see a noticeable difference in pitching.

@go4stros25_PSN You want some cheese to go with that whine?
Seriously...we all face people who can dot the corners like a master marksman. Just cause you perceive that people are cheating does not necessarily mean they are. It is a skill issue if nothing else. If you throw the same pitch pattern constantly you will be easily read and get walked all over. If you swing at every conceivable pitch you will NEVER hit anything cause it means you have the discipline of a toddler who would rather go right to dessert than eat the full meal.
What I'm trying to say is you need to learn patience. Otherwise you're going to be frustrated continuously.
Also...the casuals are not gone from the game yet. I'm one of them and honestly you grouping everyone who you think just plays to play into one lumped group tells me that you are part of that group too.
steps off soapbox

Lol the disingenuous king strikes again. People aren’t even trying anymore guys. No sweats even play online, no cheats are being used at all, just Pergo DOMINATING everyone in his path all weekend. Totally real and true.

Huh? I never said no sweats play online, never said no cheats are being used at all, and I definitely never said I dominate everyone. Quite the opposite actually. Not sure why you feel the need to make things up? Kinda weird and...disingenuous.

I just got blooped to death
These are the only hits I ever really give up, unless I'm pipeshotting so people can get their stats.
I highly doubt anyone is running into them in the lower levels of Ranked
You'd be surprised. I've run into a bunch, not the majority of my opponenets by any stretch but a fair amount.
I’m also not the best player (850ish)
This puts you firmly in the top 10% of players, so strictly speaking you are one of the best players.
I do agree on your take about the bear-down pitching though. My counterpoint to that is that only works a couple times consecutively. When you see someone with JR Richard's Cityscape card constantly dotting(his PAR is literally half the zone), it's a major tell.

I mean I've noticed a crazy amount of perfect releases, but even then, I just assumed that's a talented pitcher. I probably have a perfect release on 75% of my pitches as well.
While people do dot me, I don't immediately think they're cheating. Not saying this isn't the case, but not once this year did I assume I was playing a cheater.

40k people in a cheating discord that is pretty expensive. Not a small number and likely not the only place to get that one. The other device you can get at Walmart and GameStop (another showing of greed over integrity) for what $100. EVERY online game is littered with cheats. Yet a game that most legit people (I say this because I think the majority of people above 900 are not legit) find difficult to pitch and hit doesn't have them? People just need some common sense. Seems to be quite lacking these days.

I recently ran into an Xbox player who got six really good home run swings in a row. A couple of them on very tough pitches (turning on perfectly located inside cutter).
There was also some "glitchiness" to the swing - like, it looked like the ball was past the bat, then glitch and its a home run. A few balls that looked like the fielder was too far away - and then glitch and its caught. Could just be server issues...and its possible he just got super hot for two innings, that can happen...but he did nothing the other seven innings, lol

I also don't take anything that Kyle guy says seriously because he's super toxic and just spews garbage.
TBH, I didn't know there was a $100 device you could plug in, but even still, I don't understand the point. Aren't people playing this game to have fun? What's the fun in not actually playing the game or cheating? I don't get it.
It's hard for me to think that most people over 900 are not legit. I probably would be a 900 player if I actually tried to get there, but I don't want to play on Legend, so I stop before that. And I'm old and don't consider myself to be amazing at the game.
Now I will say this. While I don't think, or at least haven't assumed, that I've played cheaters this year, I do have these weird games where someone kind of stinks at hitting, but they mostly shut me down. I usually just assume I'm slumping or something. Then I score a bunch of runs the next game and blame it on RNG, my old eyes, or whatever else.
I'm really not sure. It also might be me assuming that if you cheat, you're a horrible piece of garbage, and even though I've seen plenty of this community on X prove that point, I still hate to believe it while I'm actually in a H2H game.

There is Twitch, YouTube, etc….
Money is at stake and people are actually trying to cheat their way into views and recognition.

Could have just saw your pitcher really good. Did he lose the game? There are certain things I look for. Dotting with low control pitchers, scoring when they need to (like if you would have taken a lead and he magically started doing it again), if it happens to multiple pitchers and you can also slide step which throws off the cheat device because of the different release point. These are for the discord one. As far as I know the other one doesn't do hitting, only pitching.
