It's not equal, there is a multiplayer "online path' there is no equivalent for offline players. There are several players exclusive to the path. As an offline player, it's harder to earn stubs, you get fewer rewards, and hearing online players whine about conquest and miniseasons is the biggest joke there is. For those of us who choose not to pursue the multiplayer path, there should be a single-player path to mirror it, with rewards for doing so. Also, there is no reason for an online player to talk down to or belittle offline players. The simple point remains the game is not 'play how you wish" it's play how we dictate you should play. Single player and multiplayer users should be unified in as much as both path should mirror one another and all rewards should be sellable and thereby buyable.

100% THIS

@DivineFury75_PSN there are still average players in br. It wouldn’t be as lopsided if more players actually played.

But it is that lopsided. Why play if you're going to make no progress and lose every game? It's for top players only

@rubicante23_PSN said:

BR is a good mode - why dont more non-elite players want to try it? If it had more players of all skills doing it, I think everyone would be happier.

Also, the entry fee is silly - and can be done away with (just get rid of auto pack reward)

For me personally, I don't like to play BR because it seems like I'm playing someone like op stated with a 20x flawless banner, and I'm throwing stubs and time out the window so I can get crushed. Why waste my time playing if 95% of the time I'm going to lose because I'm so outmatched? BR is for Elites only

Why is it impossible to earn cards, Stubs, or complete collections without pvp or extreme difficulty? Why release an Extreme program later in the year when almost everything is tied to the hardest difficulty all year?

Have any of you thought that maybe they haven't said anything because of legal ramifications?

Could be that theyre looking into banning people but have to make sure all the 'I's are dotted and all the 'T's are crossed.

They just cant come out 'willy nilly' and say so and so was banned.

Theres proper channels that have to be navigated.

With all due respect, that is a cop-out answer. All they had to say was something to the effect of, We are looking into the WBC Glitch and are evaluating next steps. Then at least we would know it's not being ignored and swept under the rug

@Dolenz_PSN said:

It's been completely ignored.

Exploiters Benefit
Non-exploiters face higher market prices and lose the ability to run the WBC Mini Season for a meaningful reward.

I'm disillusioned. SDS sending the message that following the rules is the most unrewarding path for their customers.

I 100% agree. I'm so angry. I've played fair, spent money, and poured myself into this game cause I truly love baseball and this game. My reward is to be told to sit down and shut up. Well, ok, message received, and the message won't be forgotten

@Onix_Savage22_PSN said:

Did u actually expect them to address it lol. I’ve never seen a corporation more afraid of confrontation. It’s out of hand have they addressed it at all on stream?

No, they haven't.

Put me in timeout in Twitch chat for talking about the glitch. Message received @SDS. Never spend money and cheat to win because only people seeking justice will be punished

@Dolenz_PSN said:

I am going to do something that I don't agree with normally and bump this thread because I don't think they should be able to ignore the issue and hope that everybody forgets about it when the new content drops.

If they don't do anything then they are, by their silence, telling the entire player base that it is okay to cheat and exploit glitches and there will be no consequences. You can't selectively enforce your Code of Conduct because if you do then it becomes arbitrary and useless.

I would upvote this post a million times if I could

@ApolloZ_99_MLBTS said:

I hate that they told yall play how you want lol. You can absolutely do that but you are leaving xp on the table. There was 238k of just offline programs/missons with the three mini seasons championships. And that’s without counting gameplay xp.

Mini seasons, you can get the xp from only 1 time. So if you did them in a prior season, you're out of luck. I personally wish they would make the xp attainable again for mini seasons every inning as they do with pvp

I have believed all year that they are trying to force people to play online. If you don't play online, you have almost no chance of completing the xp path. They have drifted so far from play how you want, and it's so disappointing

As long as everyone who took part in the exploit is banned as well, or has their account wiped back to day 1 in addition to your suggestion.

@go4stros25_PSN said:

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.

I said the same thing in another thread. My wallet is closed until I see Justice for all of us who play by the rules

@SpawnOfDitka_XBL said:

We are now well into Monday. Has anyone heard anything from sds yet? Any response from them on this at all yet? If they think they can sweep this under the rug they are wrong.

Now yoy know they dont work weekends. It hasnt even been a full days work.

They're not going to say anything about any bans.

I find this egregious enough that @SDS should say something and soon. Otherwise, the message to people like me who spend money is to never spend money again, wait for a glitch, and exploit it till the cows come home

@onix_savage22 Yes it was. It's fallen so far

@Onix_Savage22_PSN said:

@DivineFury75_PSN yes u are misunderstanding i think they should be banned but I also think people using a device to hit for them should also be banned im just saying its a slap in the face that they only act when there money is involved.

I apologize and agree with you. Thank you for clarifying.

@Onix_Savage22_PSN said:

@DivineFury75_PSN oh sorry there moneys involved so mlb the greed 26 is gonna have doors kicked in consoles repo’d accounts deleted from existence people imprisoned. Nah I’m joking I’m also mad at how many ppl are getting away with cheating if people get banned second there money is involved I’m literally done like completely. That would be pathetic and the most back stabbing episode of greed of all time. And I expect to get called a crybaby and get told to grow up but idrc and if they do this to us are community and u guys can still defend ur brainwashed and just used to the abuse.

Am I understanding your post correctly by saying that you DON'T think people should be banned for this exploit?

@Onix_Savage22_PSN said:

@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

100% Agree

@SpecialFrosty_PSN said:

@DivineFury75_PSN

That’s another great point. I’m 100% not NMS. Doesn’t mean I dropped $500 bucks but, I did give them some of my money…

Joe from down the street got the same value as my $$ by exploiting the game and 30 minutes of his time. How the h*** is that supposed to make me and the other players feel?

I've dropped a $100 on each of the last 3 program collections alone, including vintage. I'm done. I feel like someone slapped me in the face.
