@I23SAVAGE23I_XBL You are an absolute tool if you think YFK used the cheat script lol. Do an ounce of looking around before you say absolutely idiotic stuff

You have a lot to learn about streamers. Majority of streamers in gaming are a cesspool of human waste.
PCI shrinkage is one of the things they got right imo. There just is no way every pitch should have the same pci.
Are you a developer? That would make sense because this is an ignorant take. Did you actually play baseball and I don't mean RF on your little league team? This sounds like something a corporate [censored] came up with that never played baseball.
However, you can't ban people for a glitch in the game that you created and NOT mass ban people using cheat devices.
You are making the assumption they can do mass bans with a 0.0% chance of false bans. Thats a rather huge assumption.
Microsoft executive said years ago every developer has the tools to see cheat devices. They can 100% accurately see these people. That is no assumption. I found it:
Former Microsoft executive Mike Ybarra highlighted that developers currently have the necessary tools to detect unauthorized third-party devices. However, while the capability exists, it is largely up to individual game studios to actively integrate and maintain this anti-cheat detection software on their titles.
Community discussions and executive stances highlight that detecting hardware modifications and third-party bypass devices (like Cronus or XIM) has shifted to game developers. Microsoft provides the foundational tools, such as the Microsoft Game Development Kit (GDK), to allow developers to spot these devices.
Cheat all you want, exploit the game and ruin the market, no problem, have fun!! There will be no consequences.
100 packs is $100. People cheated and opened THOUSANDS!
where are the consequences? What about the people who have spent hundreds of hours playing the game correctly? What about the people who gave yall money for packs and cards? Are we morons to yall? Does our game experience mean less than the cheaters?
TLDR: Sds is allowing people to steal what the rest of us had to spend time and money for. Again, zero consequences.
I will never give yall money again.
Game packs are worth absolutely nothing unless someone is dumb enough to actually pay real cash to buy them, which of course is exactly why SDS designed the game as they did -- to encourage fools to pay additional money to trade real money for worthless "stubs" that have only the usefulness to obtain virtual trinkets that are entirely lacking in real world value.
At least you finally wised up and realized the value of your real money. When sufficient people grasp that basic reality, then SDS will have no choice but to actually design a baseball video game that actually presents the game of baseball, vice try to create a virtual SDS-controlled virtual market.
Come on man. I don't buy stubs in this game because I don't care that much. Some people have extra money, work and families so if they want to buy stubs good for them. People can do with their money what they want. It doesn't make them dumb. Time is literally money for some people.
@SpawnOfDitka_XBL we have had a lot of conversations I respect u and know ur in here a lot but bans and sds in the same post ur funny. We are on over a month of the cheating pandemic and have we heard of any mass bans for that?
Forgive me for being cynical at this moment, but this affects SDS money while cheating at ranked doesn't. Bans or full account resets are very possible
Well people get rewards for ranked that they wouldn't have got (world series rewards, 20 pack for 900, don't you get stubs for 1000 or just gold card). It is especially bad for weekend classic but someone is getting those rewards. Just not most of the legit players.

To be fair, this might be easier to detect than cheaters.
That said, I would still be greatly surprised to see any bans happening.
It is not. They can see the cheating devices through the API (at least you should be able to). They know [censored] well who is using them. My guess is cost of resources to check and the sheer number of people using them. Apex is a FAR bigger company and from what I can tell just started cracking down on these recently. COD tried and gave up quickly. PS5 could only remove the devices for a very short time before there was a workaround. Therefore, you have to constantly monitor the API's in order to catch the people doing them. That takes massive resources that SDS will not employ. That is my opinion of course.
I hate to say this but I do think these people should be banned. However, you can't ban people for a glitch in the game that you created and NOT mass ban people using cheat devices. I don't think they will be either to be honest. There has been glitches in the past that have not been ban worthy.
I do not see how they don't lose massive sales next year with this glitch, the massive cheating, pci shrinkage, hader/king glitch, moving heavily to the collection model where you have to purchase or get rare rounds for 80% of the collection. I truly don't see how this ends well for SDS. I am hoping GTA comes out and is great and that might greatly deter me from buying next year.
I bought two weeks late last year. This year the sale. Both years had zero competition in the gaming industry in general. Maybe that changes with GTA VI. Not going to say I won't buy but if something can hold my attention it may be an easy pass.
It is why we had double XP this weekend.
Hasnt double xp weekend at the end of an inning/season always been a thing? Theyve done a full week in the past as well for the last week.
I don't think they would do it if their data showed a ton of people getting to it.
@DemIsE4_XBL that boss pack was easy to get to. But opening over 5k packs would take forever. Be real crazy if they didn’t pull anything lol.
I certainly didn't find the boss pack easy to get to and I did all the missions except the DQ one.
I could actually pull that off. Having that many packs and not pulling anything.
Your argument has a few flaws.
For one, not everyone could have done it. People who don't follow the game's content creators or reddit may not have known about it. People may have been on vacation.
And you are wrong about it not hurting other players. Market inflation affects all of us.
And yes, someone who used the glitch in general has an advantage over someone who did not. Not only do they have Tulo, they also have JRam and Marte while making it more expensive for someone without Marte to get him. They have an advantage with the next legends collection as well.
And in general exploits tend to lead towards the game becoming less player friendly. A good example of this is the bunting bots in 2024 multiplayer that led SDS to change the ranked path to being almost purely offense (and Ks) based instead of innings as a baseline with offense to speed it up. People exploiting RTTS players, created stadiums, etc. Plenty of examples.
Data would show SDS that more people have the collection rewards. I'm 100% sure they look at that kind of data. It is why we had double XP this weekend. Their data likely showed fewer people getting to the boss pack.
@Dolenz_PSN how do you sit there and even open all of those lol.
Easily if you don't have Judge or Ohtani. lol. I still don't have Ohtani or any of the other collections so you know I didn't do the glitch. I had to play like 20 hours this weekend just to get the boss pack.
So its perfectly ok for some people to have ripped thousands of packs and hundreds of ballen packs in one night?? If some people did it a few times ok maybe not ban them, the others absolutely, goodnight bye bye, dont pass go, you are gone! Some of us have been playing everyday for months and havnt had half of those packs. Anyone coming on here stating there shouldnt be a ban or some type of punishment, Get outa here dudes. Hush up. And dont compare this to using josh hader or Michael King its not even close. You all sound idiotic.
I didnt mean to steal your wallet it was hanging out of your pocket and easy for me to take. Thats the mentality.
To my knowledge they have never banned people for exploiting a glitch like this. Anyone know any different?
Stub/market manipulation gets banned but you can do these or use 3rd party devices.
Releasing some good cards that are actually attainable would be a good start. Collections where you get 5 cards and then have to buy or get the rare round for the other 25 is getting stale really quick.
Too many is the answer to your first question. I've probably played over 250 hours and have zero collection cards (the final one). No Tulo, Mantle, Ketel, Miggy, Santana, etc. I am going to face lineups next weekend full of players I don't even have. Going after LS was a complete waste of time. Not only have I not finished that, it has hampered me from getting anything else. I would give back all those stubs for a Ketel and Santana.
No, I'm not going to play DQ for 100 hours hoping I get the RNG.
@DemIsE4_XBL it is still a lower number. You would think off the comments section there is way more. Major of the fanbase is also not in the high levels.
It is a problem though. Right now I am in 700 bracket. I would bet my right nut I see at least 3 next weekend. Sony/Microsoft should have handled this years ago instead of putting it on the devs. This is a console problem. Sony wants to raise subscription prices and not handle the cheaters. Great business decision.
@DemIsE4_XBL should easily make it to the boss. If you actually play.
Just played HOF game. Literally couldn't see the ball. Wired fiber internet with ports forwarded. I won but it was zero fun. I played D1 and minor league baseball and for me not to even see the ball is an absolute joke. Streamers legend speeds look like slow pitch softball compared to the [censored] I see. No wonder they hit .450.
I don’t even know how many different monitors and controllers I have tried over the years. Definitely settled on the fact that it is connection based.
I’d love to see all those top streamers that are hitting .600 on legend compete in a broadcasted LAN tournament.
I've tried everything under the sun. Recently tried to adjust upload/download speed but that didn't work either. Honestly it could be my ethernet port on my ps5 as early ones have issues and mine is loose. That being said 5g internet should work though which haven't noticed in the past. I'll try again tomorrow as I have the ports now forwarded for my 5g connection. It is beyond frustrating. I use to be able to score 10 runs on HOF. Even had a game where Yordan hit 4 hr's. I'm lucky to score 5 and not strike out 15 times. That HOF game I was facing JR Richards who absolutely sucks and it was like he was pitching from 20'.
Kind of regretting getting this high. I'll be lucky to win a game next weekend. I am sitting at 793.
I have google fiber, wired, ps5 and a $500 monitor. Adam Samuels said he had 900/900 internet. We are playing different games. I wish I had a bunch of money to fly one of these elites to my house. That would be worth the money. I understand my reaction should be slow but I should still be able to see the ball.
Well, I just played a definite cheater in Events of all places...crushes four really good pitches, then looks like a complete noob for three innings swinging wildly when I bring in O'Day...so yeah...
There are things to look for. I don't judge them off one pitcher. Sometimes there's a pitcher that you see really well and others you don't. Look for people that always hit good when they need runs especially if you are running multiple pitchers out there.
For instance he puts up 4. They may turn off the cheats or just contact swing until you close the gap. Forget Rogers, I'm sure that is already in the script by now but I always save him for the last few innings. Also keep in mind they have to put the box at the pitchers release point. You can slide step to get a different release point which messes them up until they readjust the box. To test them you can also intentionally walk a batter, throw a normal pitch for a ball, then throw some slide steps.
@DemIsE4_XBL you really think the majority of players are cheating? What’s the research say, more than 50%?
Depends on the game. Top 500 in any shooter yes. I think that number is at least 75%. Apex seems to be cracking down lately. COD is a joke. Watch Call of Shame. He provides evidence of a lot of streamers.
I do not believe it is more than 50% in the show but I do think there are a ton of cheaters at the higher ranks. You have to remember there are other cheats besides the one in the discord. Much more subtle pitching ones.
