Yes you can start a PSN account and you are set. I did this the other day and I have been playing. Sucks I don’t have the stubs or cards but it works.

Well, if you ask for a refund; you have to buy the game again.

But like this person stated; you can make a secondary PSN ID and play the game that way. You just won't get the bonus packs, Double Daily Logins, and will have to start from scratch.

But if they banned you console of ISP; you're SOL.

Also, if they find out you made a secondary account, off an account that was banned, you risk the option of them banning the newer account which would also cause them to ban your console, that PSN ID, and your ISP from ALL future releases.

@blakev03_PSN

At this point I'm probably not buying any future releases of this game. It's ridiculous to have received this ban without showing any proof of them saying I "cheated".

Yeah mine is from Miguel too. I have just been playing march to october because when we get our accounts back the xp and team affinity xp counts because when I got my account back for like 5 minutes I went and checked and it had all went through even though I was banned

We are not getting our accounts back.

I got this same one

Can’t believe we’re really having to go through this.

Can a new account even be created without rebuying the game? I just don't want to feel like I wasted 100 bucks on the game

I am not sure if anyone from SDS will even read this and for anyone that wants to troll, please do so, but I just wonder if anyone who works for this company realizes that the PSN IDs are real human beings behind those IDs.

In the past few days we have had numerous posts about being banned for something that is not common for any game and have expressed our frustrations and submitted tickets and nothing has come of it. I can see if someone just absolutely cheated or stole from the company and they wish to ignore this person, but for the most part we who have suffered this suspension are a minority. They do not have any customer service support and the only way to reach someone is to submit a ticket. When you offer services and product, like stubs, you should have a support team that is willing to listen and speak with you be it via phone, chat or email. I am venting on a public forum and most will just see my user id and move along. I hope a real human with real feelings will read this with SDS and help out the select few. My user is ram08210 and the ID is my initial, hello all my name is Richard BTW and the zip code where I live. I was born and raised in Tampa, FL and moved to south Jersey a little over 5 years ago. I am a huge fan of the Tampa Bay Rays and Atlanta Braves. Before the Rays existed in 1998 we had the luxury to watch Braves games on WTOG 44.

So as you can see SDS I am human and a 45 year old man wanting to enjoy the game I spent money on to play. In conclusion, I ran a history of my game log and all games are played by me vs CPU except for one game by someone who I have no clue on how this is on my game log. Also, this person played the CPU and lost on rookie 1-0. Thank you for reading this and if there're other humans who are frustrated with this ordeal and would like to just play the game, please reply. Best of luck.

I feel your frustration. Imagine paying to got to disneyland. You pay full price. You don't do anything wrong. Someone comes up and says we have you on video doing something illegal your banned and its non-negotiable. Can u show the proof of us on video? I don't need to show proof. We know you did something illegal. Please leave the park now.

That wouldn't fly....but why does Sds do it?

Because they can. Sds flexing power as intended. Why? Because we are a dime a dozen. Even though they might lose you as a customer. Someone will take your place next year with a shiny new addition. Long story short....features in the game change every year but Sds transparency to its customer...stays the same every year.

Every year is like a missile strike. They identify "cheating targets" and fire with their ban and hit innocent bystanders. Seems like every year some huge ban rolls out and a ton of innocent people have to deal with it.

S....m....h

These two posts hit the nail on the head. I’m also a 32 year old dad of 3. My fun time at this time in my life is after the kids have gone to bed and I get to fire up the game. It may not sound like a big deal, but to me it is. It deprives me of my only avenue of adult fun lol. I’m seriously hoping that they reverse my ban

I don't play online cause I hardly have the time to get it all done offline. I used mlb the show as a way to keep have fun and keep up with the game of baseball irl too. I'm pretty disappointed in this ban cause of time and money wasted. If mine isn't reversed, I won't buy this game ever again.

I am currently banned as well. Looked like it was a 2 or 3 day ban, but that's since passed and still banned.

@Dolenz_PSN said in Banned for "cheating":

See the other threads about bannings. Like everyone else who got banned you have multiple 0-0 games against online opponents. Now the general consensus are that these are bogus games, have been misreported, or some other weirdness.

For mlb 2023?

Sunday, playing a mini seasons game, I lost connection to the game causing a Loss. I'm not sure if it was my connection or the servers as I was able to log back in immediately to see that I was given a loss, pretty disappointing but it was whatever. I didn't play anymore that day as to risk not losing connection again for getting another loss. I log in the next day only to see that I am banned for "cheating" abusing points, etc. For 3 days. Those 3 days have since passed, 2 requests from SDS for explanations but yet to hear anything, but I'm still unable to play any DD, RTS or anything that requires internet. Facebook group I'm on says probably banned for the loss of connection but I want to know what the reason truly is and how the heck can I get it fixed to resume playing. A week of nothing really screws up progress.

You're doing better than me. My game crashed and I got banned for 3 days for "cheating" abusing points. Over 3 days later it still doesn't work.

i work from 7am to almost 7pm including the trip home so i dont get to start until late in the day.....when the servers crash. Im in the same boat on wondering if i will finish. I think im at like 220k right now, still gotta do the new conquest map. I could have finished a good bit of it last night, but the game servers crashed in the middle of me doing the beat SD on allstar part of the street program and so it didnt count any of my progess on it, so had to redo it.

strike 3, sit down idiot

if you increase the stats needed offline to prestige, id still make them available to use online. If you grind it out and earn it you should be able to use it either way.

i like the idea of offline prestiging, but make the stats double the online stats or something where its not AS easy to get, but also dont mix stats.. make it kind of like player programs where you can do XX number of online this or XX number of it offline, but dont let any offline count towards the online

i like all the suggestions except maybe the 6 inning one, id still play it even if they did do 6 inning though.

my biggest change would be maybe the stamina of a pitcher in conquest, especially closers, where you cant even get through the required 3 batters without being in the red sometimes lol.

is it a no sell?

@blakev03 said in USA Map conquest question:

So I decided out of boredom to go back and play the USA map cause it was the only one i havent beat yet, but i noticed that once i capture the one and only stronghold a team had, the remaining territories were still able to reinforce. It would even still show up in the steal fans section as 3 total fans / 2 available to steal. None of the other maps have had this. Anyone else notice this? It made it a bit more of a pain to really get the fan count up cause they kept blocking my path basically lol.

I have done that map dozens of times.

after you knocked out the strongholds, were they still able to reinforce for you as well and still show up as stealable fans?

@lazy_toast said in USA Map conquest question:

Yea im not sure man I completed that one awhile ago and can not see myself doing that again. BORED? Try another game

just working through the program points and xp to finish prestige. not many other games really interest me at the moment.

Did you beat all the TA4 maps already?

And im sorry to hear that. I have a list of games im trying to fit time in to play. So many good games out there to kill time brotha

yessir i have. its ok im sure theres other good games to people i just really only like baseball and gran turismo. some cod too.

also dont really care about the rewards, ive finished most of everything as far as cards that im gonna go after, unless something new comes out i really want.

@samguenther1987 said in USA Map conquest question:

I've never really had trouble with the CPU but with the USA map you have to start out at least by stealing fans for at least the first 3 teams. Once you get about 20/30 fans per move then you should be able to rollover the other territories.

i can understand going back and doing it if you havn't already but at this point the RIB conquest map is the way to go if your bored. Way better rewards then the USA map. In my opinion at least amd way less annoying.

Im not redoing the usa map, i never beat it, its the only one. i do steal the fans and i also then beat the stronghold but it seems like they dont "go away" afterwards. only conquest map ive had this issue on i was just curious if it was doing it on anyone else when they beat it
