    I highly doubt anyone is cheating in events. For some people all-star is just batting practice. I use it for relaxing stats to the multiplayer program that I need. I usually hit around .450 on it if I am guessing. If it’s less Than I that than i am playing when I am super tired or not on my monitor.

    Cheating mostly occurs at 800 level and above because the game is extremely hard at those levels and above. Most of my game in the 8-900 level against non cheaters are first team to score 2/3 runs wins. It’s crazy how hard hitting is at legend.

    I mean data aside, wouldn’t this be kinda obvious?

    If you’re using a script to hit for you why would you be sub 1000 rating?

    Obviously you would be at the highest ranking possible or at the very least, near n the highest ranking

    You have to get there first. There are cheaters in the lower ranks making their way to the higher ranks. This article doesn't even address the pitching only cheat which I think is way more prevalent.

    The pitching only cheat is what I've seen most of. I run into a lot where it is 100% perfect releases and the ball is always just a hair out of the zone or barely touching the outside of the zone.

    Yes because a $100 device and dragging a script to it is far easier than device, pc and capture card.

    How do you think they get there?

    Cheaters largely aren't good players who can't get over the bubble, they're sad sacks who couldn't hit the s off [censored].

    @virusts_PSN I know having 20 perfect/perfects in one game seems suspect to me, all for XBH.

    what happens when two people cheat against each other?

    I'd imagine it's like a freeze off, whoever gives up first

    I just froze first game in the 800's in WC. Guy sent a friendly, didn't respond. Hit a HR in 2nd and shortly after I magically freeze. I have not had a freeze on Xbox all year. Interesting.

    Sweet 28 hours into the freeze off because my opponent is too soft to take an L. So, looks like my WC lasted 1 2/3 innings. I refuse to give this guy the W. If I was losing I would've left right away.

    When does WC end so I can play my Xbox again? Been playing PUBG on the PS. Looks like with WC you can either play lower rank and they quit when you get ahead or higher rank and deal with pathetic cheaters and freezers.

    And you're too small to just move on.
    Seriously man, we're grown adults and it's a game.
    Is it really worth it?

    You can play anytime you like.
    Your pettiness is the only thing stopping you.

    It's a principal thing. I quit all the time because I usually don't care. However, when you ask for a friendly because you are a [censored], give up a run and the game magically freezes it certainly feels intentional. I am not giving in to what I feel was an intentional freeze so we will sit here until the WC classic ends and I'll just play single player GTA when it comes out so I don't have to match against the absolute clowns that play in the online world these days. This includes the many online cheaters games have these days. This generation of kids is a flat out joke.

    That's just one that didn't even try to hide it. Would be so easy to fool people by spreading out your HR's and turning the device on and off. Gee, kind of like some streamers I know.

    Yeah, the streamers are obviously cheating. They have waaaay too many swings where the center pci is absolutely perfectly centered just below the ball to launch a homerun. You can tell they are not even worried about losing. Can just toggle on the cheats for free runs at will.

    YourFriendKyle and Littleman are toggling/cheating in my opinion based on watching gameplay.
    If you click on that article, Littleman has a 58 percent homerun rate on every swing and the accused cheaters are at 65 percent haha.

    Yeah I know some people are freakishly good at this game but hard to believe some of the stats being put up aren’t being influenced somehow. Especially knowing how inconsistent gameplay and internet connections are.

    The thing that I noticed for YFK and Littleman is the swing feedback when they hit bombs.

    It is always the exact same precisely placed location with the center dot just below the ball with the exact same amount of space between the ball and the cursor.

    It is so precise every time it isn’t possible for a human to replicate it consistently.

    Of course it is very hard to prove or know for sure when they are already great players before cheating. With that being said I think they are both north of 30. We all know this is a young man’s world when it comes to anything performed on the highest level.
