Don’t see the cheaters at all. I think most just face people better than them and can’t handle it. This is especially true if you are playing all-star they are not playing at that level especially in weekend classic

Another blind man. Super easy to fool you. I could cheat against you with that software and you would have zero clue. Would be super easy and you would never beat me.

BTW - I have lost or quit out of at least 50 games already. I don't care about losses. People like you are why cheaters are so prevalent. You don't care, can't see it or are doing it so why should the gaming company care. The sheep will accept it. This tells me that there is a high probability that SDS does nothing with this and hopes it goes away. It will only get worse without anything being done.

I have played this game a long time. My starters couldn't make it out of 2 innings in some games including the last game against a cheater. I used Randy, 99 Felix and Sandy along with some relief pitchers. 500 rated players do not hit like this period. 500 rated players do not score 10 runs in the first inning. Yea, there are quite a few cheaters and there is a spreadsheet designed to fool the blind which looks like it is working.

Yea, there are no cheaters in the all star level. What an arrogant idiot. You are an absolute tool.

Weekend Classic? Maybe high level players tanked to play in a lower level.

Why when 1 win in the 800 level is probably worth more than 6 in the 500? Trust me, the 500 level rewards are useless. I just play to play. Game is chalked unless they address the cheats. Not very optimistic knowing the resources and how greedy this company has become. Sad to say but best days for this game have long passed.

@whitejw98_MLBTS see I wish at points I could be a casual but I’m to far gone off the deep end. I remember when I was casual much less rage but I’ve been a constant ws player since I think 2021. Well past the point of no return I do most of my casual gaming between the months of November-March.

I started being casual a few years ago when I couldn't find the source of my warping pitches on fiber internet. Played something like 9 games this weekend and saw 2 players I highly suspected of cheating. Until I see some bans, I'll stay away from online. It was absolutely stupid having a WC when you KNOW there are a ton of cheats in the game.

cheats are addressed. I'll watch TV or play RTTS. Never seen so many 500 players hit perfects until they get a lead then can't hit. As soon as you close the gap they start hitting again. The amount of pitches on the outside of the line with low control pitchers is ridiculous. It just isn't enjoyable.

And no I lost legit games this weekend and beat a cheater by throwing Rogers for 3 innings.

@whalen91_PSN said:

@DemIsE4_XBL yea I have one of the first ps5’s and my Ethernet port is too big so I’m forced to use WiFi

Haven't tried it but I heard you could put a toothpick in to tighten the connection.

@whalen91_PSN said:

I have over 300 mb/s and my pci still lags at least once every other inning. I honestly think this game is broken beyond repair.

Wifi or ethernet? PS5 or Xbox? If it is a PS5 and ethernet I think something may be wrong with some ethernet adapters especially from early PS5 models like I have. Been trying to figure out the reason for my warping pitches for a very long time. Not sure if 5g will help but need to test that.

Had to upvote since 199 hours in and still about 800k from LS collections and I think 13 vouchers from Miggy.

My favorite part might be Chipper collection. I have done almost everything you can do in the game and have 2 of the cards needed to get him out of the 12. Yea 2. Absolutely comical at this point.

@rubicante23_PSN said:

@DeleteyourTTVBTW_MLBTS cheating comes up like every other post on here. But like, its not gameplay cheating that should bug people - except for the very few people who are 1000 rank and over players (where the cheaters are)

The cheaters "earning" all kinds of stubs and ruining the market for everything is what most people should care about, right?

Why do people always think the cheaters are in the 1000's? They are everywhere. People get cheats, make new accounts and they are starting at 0 in ranked. People that can't get past 300 get cheats. Guess what? They have to play in the 4-500's. I hope you get the point.

@DeleteyourTTVBTW_MLBTS said:

It’s weird they keep chosing to do nothing. Once Zens infiltrate a game it’s basically over. They don’t get banned, the scripts just become better over time so cheaters are going nowhere. Offline players are falling further and further behind, so they choose to keep content rolling as usual with the fortnite battle pass strategy and please nobody. In a month the only people left playing this game 3 moments at a time every two weeks will be the addicts that would relapse if they lost MLB the show. Thankfully for SDS people got addicted 10 years ago when they had actual C grade Devs and not the D- ones they have now.

I’ll just pay 30$ and have the games play themselves from my phone lmao. I’m no longer NMS boys. #zengang4life

Well my odds of getting Ohtani would drastically go up if a script ran mini seasons for me every night while I slept and every day while I worked.

@JDHalfrack_PSN said:

@DeleteyourTTVBTW_MLBTS I have played the game for 164 hours since March 13 (that’s an average of about 3 hours a day, but I do play a LOT on the weekends). Is that a lot of time? If so, then you are probably right. I mean I know time is a big factor in how much XP you get, but I have not felt like I’ve played the game tons more than last year. Maybe I’m wrong!

So I've played a little more than 3 hours per day. Still like a million stubs from N.L. and like 11 vouchers from Miggy. No wonder my playing time has fell off a cliff the last 3 weeks. I would rather watch TV most of the time.

@Player99_MLBTS said:

I've gone back to playing MLB 25, purely because I can play with 99 overalls.

Disagree. The power creep is about the only thing good with this game. Game gets very stale when it is all 99's.

@Ditka06_MLBTS said:

@Christuffer9917_PSN no need to thank me anyone with a brain and eyes can see that they change the odds at times. And there is nothing that says they cannot tighten or loosen their odds through out the season.

If people don't think streamers/partners get better odds, I don't know what to tell them. Blatantly obvious if you watch streamers. Every top streamer/partner pulls the two highest stub cards every year along with a ton of chase cards. At some point it stops being coincidence. I'll just stay in the 4-600's to get my baseball fix where it doesn't matter what cards I pull. I'm perfectly content with that.

@Onix_Savage22_PSN said:

@Dolenz_PSN this is a cheap cheap move so we are gonna need all of these for retro? If so money grab at it’s finest.

It's all a money grab. Every collection is the same thing. Only get a few cards by playing and everything else ridiculous pack luck (better chance of walking out the door getting struck by lightning on a sunny day) or buy the players.

Best cards every Friday is a chase pack which seems like .00001% chance to pull unless you're a streamer/partner.

@Onix_Savage22_PSN said:

run into the 1min pause followed buy 8 perfect perfects.

That was my experience with this weekend's event. I just quit out of those games and let them have it, apparently they need the validation. 6 or so of my losses were definitely because of my own mistakes, admittedly

Are you reporting these people? Need to be.

Should we have too? No, SDS should be finding a way to ban anyone that has used a 3rd party device. I am pretty sure it can be done. The question is will SDS use the resources to take care of this issue.

@Onix_Savage22_PSN said:

@LIONED-33_XBL well I feel like they have to do smt right they can’t just roll over and bow down to these low life’s…

You do know we are talking about SDS right? Weird though because the event and last few ranked games I've played I haven't seen anything suspicious. Was seeing strange stuff consistently before.

@ShadowJake77_XBL said:

I will be opting out next year. With the degrading status of the game with inconsistent fixes, runners still diving at first base on hits, three years running. Due to poor communication and the fact to not address issues but still push pack and stubs sale. Let's not even talk about the unrealistic collections. Due to all that and age ...I'll be pushing 50....I will be sticking to live ballgames and casual games I can enjoy playing stress-free. Video games release stress not cause it.

I think a lot of people will with the cheaters, lack of content and LS collections being way out of hand for most. I'm sure I'll buy it again but not going to grind for LS collections like I did this year. It was a colossal waste of time if you don't pull Judge and/or Ohtani.

@samguenther1987_PSN said:

I have a job and only play evenings and weekends, I had no trouble finishing it this time, of course the TA program really helped but I got there, i'm on my 4th wheel spin i believe.

So without the TA program you don't finish?

I think SDS got bad data from the cheaters farming mini seasons. I already have TA done and still need maybe 100k to get to bosses. Yea, they messed up their calculations big time. I play a decent amount. Not as much as first 3 weeks because it is a waste of time and unrewarding.

@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN said:

I just bought them. And if a previous post on here, that says SDS turned off the option to turn Cross Play off, is true; I will probably end up having to either buy, or go without, any card thats attainable via online play.

I just checked out of curiosity and my crossplay is still off. Was also able to toggle it back on and then off again.

@ApolloZ_99_MLBTS said:

Everyone one has the same packs odds

Please. Sam Adams almost pulled more stubs in a week than I've got all year. Go feed that bs to someone else.

@Rocketfish5151_PSN said:

I play this game an embarrassing amount and still not to 400 XP yet. Never failed to get 5-15 wheel spins before.
Wondering how many others won't make it to the end?
Extending double XP would give lots of us the chance. I'm aware this has been talked about a lot, just interested to see what percentage will fall short.

I'm not there either and I play a lot. Makes me wonder if the cheaters getting XP quickly last season gave them false data.
