SDS did not even apologize for the co op mess or acknowledge their incompetence when it came to dealing with the issue. They said «  co op is good » at the end of stream and nothing else.

Also consequently the leaderboard, points, icons and rewards were all given out with zero bans handed out. It’s completely obvious when someone has been cheating based on their losing record, innings played and runs scored along with their game logs. Anyone with a brain could easily determine this.

So SDS going to just let cheaters benefit and get away with this while legit players couldn’t play for three weeks and lost points at the expense of cheaters?

Great work SDS. You really care about the community. Way to send a message! That’ll show em.

Not sure how much more I can be let down by this company… expectations are already low but they can’t even deliver on those. There is no integrity.

@SDS_JoeK_PSN

Thanks Joe all I needed to hear.

I hope SDS does the right thing and do mass bans, take away icons or wipe the leaderboards so everyone starts like how they ended last season.

I’m sorry for being so frustrated but this is just not okay. You are going to lose a loyal player base that actually play the game at a high level and invest lots of time + money.

SDS should do mass bans for co op glitch ( which seems unlikely since 3000+ teams are 800+ this season already while there were like 400 total last season lol).

If they don’t, they need to wipe and clear all icons for co op in general and take away all 1000 gold cards for everyone. Fresh clean slate.

Kids rated 3-7 in solos and 23-34 that can’t even hit veteran and all star are running rampant with 1000 icons and gold cards.

SDS made the only visible thing and the most valuable personal sense of accomplishment/milestone completely worthless in this game. People who never ever had a chance or shot at earning these spent 30 minutes to hit WS and 1000 before they added cooldown. Now soon top 50 icons?

Start fresh for co op, wipe all icons and gold cards.

We can grind again while the cheaters will never ever achieve this. Got together with 10+ top 50 players from last season and we are fine with a full co op icon / gold card wipe.

Don’t let us down SDS there needs to be severe consequences for the mass abuse of exploits. You have let it run rampant for over two weeks now without warning players not to do it or even properly addressing. You’ve made it so the legit community have not been able to play the game at all while exploiters are ruining the integrity of your game. We are the ones buying stubs and spending the most time grinding + playing. Your most loyal player base that refuse to use or take part in these exploits are suffering the most.

Do the right thing and make sure you not only fix co op but wipe and/or mass ban. It’s only fair. Anything thinking otherwise is an exploiter or never had the time / skill to earn these rewards so don’t know how much it actually means in this game.

2.5 weeks without even addressing it shows they either don’t care or don’t have the right people working that can fix issues quickly. I’m starting to think they are a having a hard time fixing it. Call outside help SDS if your staff isn’t able to do it. 2.5 weeks. It will be 3 weeks on Friday when I originally submitted a ticket about this exploit.

It’s actually been around since end of last season on the Friday. So it’s been 2.5 weeks going into three weeks this Friday.

SDS is letting everyone down… no game dev should let an exploit that impacts other players go this long without shutting down the mode or at least addressing it; warning players they can get banned for using it should have been done at the very least. We got absolutely nothing for 2.5 weeks.

SDS - if you don’t have the programmers or coders that are capable enough to do this fix, get outside help. This is completely unacceptable. You are a live service company making insane amounts of money from micro transactions. Even single player buy and done games patch minor bugs and issues quicker than you do your MAJOR GAME BREAKING EXPLOITS.

It shows how much they really care about the game and their player base.

@SDS_JoeK_PSN

What is this scripted answer I got Joe that doesn’t talk about cooldowns once? They clearly didn’t read or care about any of the tickets or reports I sent in.

I’m reporting players and giving feedback and they are replying back saying cooldowns are frustrating ? I do not disconnect or exploit , never had a cooldown or mentioned cooldown in any of my tickets / reports.

How can we have faith in you guys as developers when you’re clearly lying about us being heard?

We are sitting around 930 points in co op, have lost over 200+ points to cheaters this season. Have not lost a single game other wise. Everyone in top 100 co op ranking is a cheater with losing records, some don’t even have a single run scored. That is the state of the game currently.

I appreciate your response nonetheless but this is just insulting. Why am I wasting my time reporting every cheater that has admitted to cheating with proof if this is the response.

@LookatTheRhino_PSN

Abusing a bug is called exploiting AKA cheating. This exploit was at the expense of legit players who were trying to play who lost rating.

What are you even talking about? You sound like someone who used the exploit.

Anyone defending this behaviour needs to be questioned.

The most embarrassing part about this - it has been around since last last Friday. Almost two weeks ago.

Completely unacceptable for the dev team to not even acknowledge it end of last season ranked and now well into this season.

A bunch of undeserved 1000 icons , World Series icons and now even top 50 is all full of these cheaters.

Nice SDS way to care about your most loyal players.

If leaderboard isn’t wiped for this season and bans not handed out, a bunch of us legit and loyal top players will not be playing any further this year. We refuse to use the glitch and will not support a company that don’t deal with game crushing bugs like this.

Why we grinding for weeks , hours every day, while these kids get the same rewards within a hour spamming this glitch ??? It’s absolutely ridiculous and crazy they haven’t fixed it ASAP. It’s been ALMOST TWO WEEKS. Makes me feel sick and leaves the most sour taste in my mouth for spending on stubs.

@Joeflakes_XBL

You can’t argue with people that don’t have common sense. Some of the replies defending the cheating is straight up embarrassing and appalling.

@yankblan_PSN

Brother the only incentive to play this game repetitively besides for fun is for top 50 and 1000 icons for legit players, plus the rewards for hitting 1100 which is a 50 bundle

What’s the point of these being given to exploiters ? Why we grinding for days and weeks on end for these Same rewards when exploiters earned it by cheating in an hour?

Are you kidding me? You’re asking me why this matters to me? Because we worked so hard for those icons they should be exclusive to good players who earned it.

I played a guy on events that was 22-29 that had the 1000 icon, checked his game logs he was a co op cheater. You think this is fair ?

Either they wipe the leaderboards or hand out mass bans or they failed us all as a company.

I recognize most of you aren’t top players so this impacts you much less. My co op partner got kicked out of top 50 icon end of last season due to losing points to the exploiters and because of exploiters entering the top 50. You think that was fair to him? Think he shouldn’t be upset over that?

Ridiculous comment, some of us care about this game and the integrity of it.

It’s because SDS uses p2p servers for a competitive multiplayer game in 2025.

Sad but until they change to dedicated servers like almost every other game out there in this and age, having the better connection is a disadvantage in this game.

It’s ridiculous.
