I guess its safe to assume

the only ones who were punished for the WBC exploit were those who were honest enough to not participate in it.
God d@mn right. It's definitely going to play into my decision for next year. The optics this year for SDS have been...well to say "less than favourable" would be putting it lightly
-
This is the point in this thread where @sds_joek_psn steps in and says, “can’t say much, but still working on it, look for it soon”…..
A person can hope, right?
-
@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN nope and now he's openly pushing 3rd party stubs, but they'll ban people on the boards for calling them out. They'll ban anyone of us for using that 3rd party stubs. Also remember when Digital Champion called out Ashley and got banned (he should have, i like DC but it was over the top). Over the past few months YFK has been 1000x worse and they've done nothing. @sds_joek_psn why is it that SDS is afraid of YFK? or is he right about all of you?
Incoming my 7 day ban.

@sds_joek_psn why is it that SDS is afraid of YFK?
I don think it's him in particular they're afraid of, I think it's streamers in general. They're afraid of losing the free advertising, because they think streamers represent the majority of players.
I think they're afraid of the backlash that would be broadcast if they do.
-
Who cares? It's a video game with nearly ZERO competitive integrity.

I gave up on that a month ago. No way it should have taken them this long to identify those exploiters.
I feel like if their game logs are even in a half way decent database that I could have taught myself how to query it and identify the worst offenders by now. Even with the rudimentary website I can check if a player participated in the exploit in about 5 minutes
I know some people believe that maybe they did quietly take some action but no matter how quiet SDS is there is no way those who were punished would have stayed quiet.
At the risk of sounding like a broken record the only ones who were punished for the WBC exploit were those who were honest enough to not participate in it.
And that is going to be considered by me when it comes time to buy 27
Seems like a common theme in life as a whole these days.
-
@Dolenz_PSN absolutely it will be considered
For the first time since I started playing MLBTS (2007 I think), I'm considering not playing next year. I see all the posts out here every year about "I'm not buying next year, blah, blah, blah", and I think "I'll never get to that point".
I'm getting close.
With the "glitch", then the response by SDS that they were taking action, then the apparent "non-action", coupled with the myriad of problems (market bots, various other glitches in the game that continue from year to year, more monetization, etc.), I might be done for a cycle.
"Might". If you see me here on the forums in 2027, remember I said "might".
But I am thinking about it, which I've never done before.

YFK makes enough money to create 1000 MLB The Show accounts, there isn’t anything they can do about it lol

The fact he can create more accounts isn't anywhere near the point. The fact they (apparently) haven't done a d@mn thing about the account he did use- which they absolutely will know- and the countless others who did the glitch, is the problem.

True. At least if I saw he had a new username while playing, and had to buy all of his cards again, I'd feel better. But I don't think that happened (someone correct me if I'm wrong).
-
Personally I think the exploit is meaningless as most show packs are. SDS has done zero innovation this year and every program is the same, it's a garbage product. I'm a diehard and been playing over 10 years but I checked out 2 weeks ago and won't be back next year. They do zero to address any issues in the game whatsoever.
-
If they banned the pack glitch people, then they would have had to ban the players using glitched pitchers. If you don’t understand, those pitchers help led obtain rewards, which means they abused something that goes against their rules. They chose money over banning people.

If it was so meaningless then why, according to your game history, did you do it roughly 80 times, earning 800 packs, and 80 Ballin is a Habit packs?? 0-0 losses to Team Australia
Seems strange to lose sleep, doing something over and over again when it is meaningless.
-

What? No they wouldn't. Night and day issues. One was a deliberate exploit, the other was a simple animation issue that nobody could avoid.
-

Dude's deflecting hardcore

I'll give you credit for only doing it 9 times. Losing to Team Japan 0-0 in 9 straight games
And your glitched pitcher excuse is a rationalization and not a justification. The two are not even close to comparable.

@Dolenz_PSN calling out the game history is hilarious and sad. Hilarious for obvious reasons.
Sad because it's that easy to ascertain what players exploited and SDS still chooses to ignore it anyway. It's just proof that they genuinely don't care about competitive balance.
If they are ok with the obvious exploit, we have zero chance they'll address other forms of cheating.
-
@dolenz_psn is on a heater today!!
Call ‘em all out, dude……
-
This is one of the most positive cool dudes on here. We know we have a problem now.
I loved this game so much in 2021-2024 but it’s been going downhill since. This year there have been really unforgivable issues. I am still restricted on the app. I am not a bot, I have never been a bot. I am sometimes a little boring but otherwise, I was officially penalized for flipping cards. I opened a ticket and got a response saying that I am a bot and my restriction is permanent. Since that happened, I have completely lost interest in this game.
SDS does not care about its customers. It’s a shame but clearly very evident.
-
@dolenz_psn - bro you’re my hero. And I dig your taste in baseball teams.
I wish I could be flipping cards on the app. I would have Pujols by now. But I had to power down. You know, Bots need to recharge.
