So the guy that was the whistleblower on the cpu program cheating proceeded to benefit from the exploit given 1000 free packs a few weeks later?

I just quit, it's not that big a deal

I approve of a new seager

I would also say albies and seager seem to lift all inside pitches and get tons of off pci homers

Honestly guys, i dont think good and bad swings just exist like that in my opinion now disclaimer, I ain't going against your opinions im just expressing my opinion. The reasons are that the strides are mostly the same like when the batter prepares for the pitch to come, they have the same exact stride. Imo, its really just the attributes and the height of the player that makes the swing of the player good.

Go into practice mode and use a notoriously bad swing like mark mcgwire and then a notoriously good swing like Ozzie albies or trout that have a notable leg kick.

Swings are very different, both of them have extreme pull tendency as well. Mark mcgwire is always late on everything.

I would say swings matter more then attributes.

You could give me a 99 mcgwire with 125 max everything and is rather run that wbc Ozzie albies 89 or 92 or whatever it is

Ik me personally I’ve never even thought about giving up on this game before atleast late October early November. This year bring in late may is crazy.

That's how I feel.

Most years I'd have the live series done or atleast half by now (easily) without crazy grinding.

I've definetly played less this year and because of a number of factors didn't prioritize live series anyways. But I've pulled jram early and besides that I haven't pulled anything of value. Even the mural type packs I've gotten base round like EVERY time.

I grind mini seasons for 10 pack bundle and if I'm lucky I get Jeremy Pena.

I feel like I'm not upgrading my team from week to week. By the time I get to Soto or lindor I don't feel like they're much better than elly or trout (who I'm using in right)

Its easier to complete programs mindlessly than in past years but I feel like for the most part programs aren't boosting my teams.

Meanwhile you constantly see chase pack and 700k collections able to improve your squad. But by the time you get to mickey mantle now in citysquad he's already outdated and not really better than what you may already have.

I used Kyle tucker new threads card for the longest time and I feel like if I used him I wouldn't be disadvantaged too much over someone using the new Soto. Especially with p5 modded tucker. That's kind've a good thing if you like the player but also it doesn't really light the fire to tirelessly grind for a lateral move

I get it's a holiday weekend but Friday wasn't a holiday. Kind've wild this post has stood for almost 24 hours. For all the complaining on the board about everything this is pretty telling how much sds pays attention to the content of the posts here.

another cheater in ranked. Was going to play some more but not tonight. We should not have to report these people. Game has a severe cheating problem and SDS is trying to push it under the rug.

What a night. Get to play a cheater in ranked. Do the flower map for 30 packs no diamonds. Get the 50 mp pack no diamonds. Chase card Kurtz. Somebody explain why I play this game?

I don’t play ranked after 10pm anymore, it looks like they updated their guidelines and are requiring people to cheat after 10pm now

I like that there are all types of rules for cheaters to abide buy.

@rubicante23_PSN they dont want to get better at the game bro. They would rather play vs the cpu, throw two high fastballs and a slider away all day to get strikeouts. Sounds fun. Offline players should absolutely not get the same rewards as online players. 100 percent. They still have ample grinding methods anyway that are good.

I don't really care who gets what rewards but as someone who was a "online" guy... The cheating, bunt dancing, slide stepping, excessive stealing, constant pausing, etc. It makes playing online simply not fun or worthwhile anymore.

I typically play until about finest then kind've lose interest. Playing mostly offline this year I feel like it aleady feels like finest time where I'm just kind've bored and no incentive to deal with the fuckery online

I use mostly switch hitters.

I'm using that Cardinals guy in cf who is high contact with no power but has almost perfect defense. I don't like using trout or others there so I sacrifice the offense for the elite defense in center.

I do use trout so I don't run all switch

Glasses?

Biz Mackey with fielding mod
Pca with fielding mod
Polanco to kind've platoon at first (was using seager at first, now rice at first)
I think my 4th is live series jram bc for lhp pinch hit depending on his inside edge

Polanco has a really high clutch, like 115 or so and pinch hit quirk

@ryguy034753_XBL you aren’t gonna throw everyone out. But you can still throw players out. There are players with 99 speed and 99 steal ofc you aren’t gonna throw them out all the time

Dude, I hate to be rude, but you are arguing for no reason.

People can get a perfect jump every time and they manipulate the base running and fielding mechanics if they get caught in a pitch out by using the freeze mechanic and going to 2nd if you throw behind the runner or going back to first if you throw down to second.

If you don’t have an issue with this at all, than I am speechless.

There is also an animation if a guy is leading off 2nd and you pick him off. Runner just steals to 3rd (doesn't even try to get back) and my ss caught the ball and got the animation to bend down and tag the runner (who is already halfway to 3rd). This must be some known glitch animation to exploit.

I have biz Mackie with a fielding mod and 99 pop and 99 arm. There are still people that can run on him left and right. Idk if it's latency or what.

But I still don't feel like I'd be 100% successful with Witt.

These opponents also take leads and NEVER get picked off. I take leads and just tap l2 or whatever to load a steal and I'll occasionally get picked up so I don't take leads since most my offense is hr anyways.

Is there some trick to taking leads and never getting picked off?

I see frosty uses the thickest ones and I've lots of other creators use the middle ones. Is this because they're adjusting their upgraded controllers in some way?

When I first started using the thinnest green ones it's like my fielders wouldn't even move. I'm used to it now. But mine break in kind've quick.

Are most of you using the light, middle, or thick and on stock controllers or no?

@Onix_Savage22_PSN I just had a BR game where dude probably thought I was cheating. 4 straight perfect perfects to start the game. A 5th in the second inning and 8 runs in less than 2 innings. Best start I’ve had to a game this year by far.

I always think when I run to a string of hits I look cheater like. Fortunately I uncontrollably swing at tons of balls outside the zone so hopefully they makes it clear enough.

In alot of games by 4th or 5th inning their pitcher might get in the yellow and predictable so I start sitting on spots and do mash but it's just a result of the opponent repeating same pitches and same spots

My next game was a disconnect right when the game started and I got the loss

It's fine, I'm not mad.

But 3 perfects got me, 16 hard hits, 18 good contacts

My opponent 0 perfects, 2 hard hits, and 9 good contacts.

And I struck out with a runner on 3rd with trout on one of those check swings where he like lunges bit doesnt even begin to swing and the first base umpire calls it a swing. That's another animation I don't see people complain about enough.

Either way, my opponent was solid and didn't do anything weird so it was generally pleasurable experience.

But man, that's like the game wasn't going to allow me to win this one

I went 6-0 in the last one but didn't play one game of this one cause of the cheating. Just played some conquest and moments. I think I got like one 85 overall diamond for my troubles. I think it was Jeremy Pena

I had zero motivation to play weekend classic because of the huge roar of cheating. I just did the conquest, spotlight, and Witt program. Which was perfectly fine yesterday.
