@SpawnOfDitka_XBL and nothing gets done about it atleast a public statement saying smt has been done about the issue would be nice. like I said other games have anti cheats why can’t this one it blows my mind. I still continue to play but when I play a cheater it kills my mojo for like a week.

They made a public statement but I don’t think they banned any cheaters. I still see TTVPabel18RD playing

Not trying to brag with this at all, just sharing a horrible gaming experience.

I went 4-2 in Immortal Weekend Classic. Figured I’d try to see if I can hit top 10 to land a Miz. Played a couple cheaters. One guy would just put up 5 perfect perfect home runs every time I tied the game.

I put in Rogers and he was probably a 200 rated player without his cheating app. Absolutely horrendous zone recognition and swing timing. Wanted to beat him so bad but lined out with two runners on and lost by 2. Probably would have won if I figured out he was cheating earlier, but he hid it pretty well the first half of the game.

It’s just kind of crazy to spend so much time doing the collections, practicing, etc….only to have to run into this type of player. Not sure what SDS plans to do in the future, but something absolutely has to be done. Maybe they do nothing since cheaters back Out against top streamers so the average person won’t even realize the problem exists?

That is a brag and I don't blame you. 🫠
This is one area I give SDS a little slack on. Cheaters are going to cheat, I guess. The fact they don't do anything about it, other then say, don't do it is a different story. If COD and fps games can detect aim bots you'd think SDS could do the same. Really, it's the same principle now that I think about it.

"bUt wE DoNt mAnIPuLaTe ThE maRkEt" - SDS

Turning a blind eye to the bots is even worse, probably their bots...because 'F you, give me your money'

I don't believe that they have turned a blind eye to the bots. People on this forum have been restricted because they were thought to be botting. Manu was posting updates not too long and was obviously trying to reign it in some.

The problem is that I don't believe it is nearly as easy to identify the bots as many here seem to think. Telling the difference between a really fast and effective person and a bot programmed to act more like a person is probably hard.

The other problem is the hardcore flippers want bots eliminated without the system inconveniencing them in any way.

Lastly, the third party stubs sellers, who probably run the majority of the bots are going to be relentless and probably can spin up new accounts as fast as SDS can ban the old one.

A lot of what you said is true. It is mostly resellers running the bots, but I don’t think it's that hard of a fix. These resellers have to have millions of stubs to sell, so SDS can cap the number of stubs made in a certain time period. Make it progressive as the cards get more valuable. Factor in the price of the cards. They can see everything we do and could easily come up with a sensible solution... if they wanted.

SDS should do the right thing and sell the MLB license to another company that’s capable of making an efficient Baseball game.

Not their license to sell. MLB has not entered into any exclusive licensing deal with anyone. I am quite confident that MLB would be happy to agree to a licensing deal with any video game company that shows the aptitude to code up a good game.

Then again, SDS used to be that kind of company, but years of mailing in their annual updates I think have finally caught up with them.

Would not surprise me in the least to see 2K Sports or EA license with MLB to produce a game in a few years.

It's only getting worse from here, sadly.
