I just posted this in my own thread, but wanted to share here as it seems like this is the place to be!

So how many times do we hear this from users? Getting suspended for something they didn't do. I was playing a game Monday night and got kicked. I thought the servers went down and didn't see anyone else complaining and I checked later and it said I was suspended for 2 days for cheating. I placed a ticket. I then went back on yesterday morning before work and it said suspended for 90 days. I got this from support last night.

**Thanks for reaching out, unfortunately, your account has been suspended for Win Trading/Account Sharing in the Battle Royale game mode.

This type of in-game behavior goes against the Online Code of Conduct that all players must agree to when first entering online modes of MLB The Show.

This suspension is non-negotiable. Please be aware that any additional infractions can result in further suspensions that will go up to permanent ban.

Best,

Well the only problem is that I have yet to play online in 2023 and only have grinded offline. How can my account get suspended for something I have literally not done. I know this will not be resolved because there is probably no "Manny" and this is a bot. I do not think anything will come of my ticket. At least when I checked this morning it was down to 89 days, so at least there is a glimmer of hope.

how long did it take for their response, and did you only send a ticket on the website or were you able to find a phone # or an email?

Do you remember how much the Ohtani sold for? I was lucky enough to pull deGrom from conquest packs twice and sold him each time for around 120k. Do you play online, or have you sent anyone any messages after a game? Hopefully, it gets sorted out if it is just about selling a rare LS card.

i sold the ohtani for like 150k but i bought players right after that with the 150k, which is why i think they think i was buying stubs online. i haven’t sent any messages to people, the only thing i can think is that i have a plane in my created stadium so they might think i was trying to be offensive with that… but it still says i’m banned for 2 years because of “stub manipulation”

So if I haven't played any RTTS and no MTO and only DD and I haven't bought any stubs. Then how am I getting a ban?

exactly what i’m dealing with bro, go in and make an appeal hopefully they’ll start to respond

i doubt they ban people for skipping mini seasons games but who knows at this point, i just went and private chatted one of the SDS users from a different forum, hoping that’ll speed up the process

I was randomly playing Diamond Dynasty last night and my account just got banned for some reason! I have no idea what I did. I buy stubs through the Microsoft Store and that is it so I am just so confused on why I got banned. I haven't pulled any big diamonds or do any market manipulation so if anybody has any auggestions or assumptions I would greatly appreciate it. thanks

did you go from low stubs, to high stubs, back down to low stubs from buying players?, because that’s what happened to me i think it’s the code for the game to ban people.

I mean write a ticket and they’ll review it, if it was a mistake they’ll take care of it, if you did something wrong then you’ll be banned. SDS is good about these things.

He said he appealed in the original post. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with posting a message on the forum — even if he’s just complaining about it.

Every single one of the people who have posted or replied to a comment in this thread has been in a situation where something happened to you and you thought “what the heck?!” or “what’s going on here?!” … a situation that was both surprising and confusing. Then, at some point later on, you told a few friends or acquaintances about it because you still couldn’t understand why it happened.

What if those so-called “friends” or acquaintances just gave you a blank stare like they couldn’t care less and said ”I mean, write them an email and if you didn’t do anything wrong, they’ll fix it.”?

If you were flabbergasted by the situation you’d just shared with them, you’d think they were being pricks who didn’t care about it. In reality, they likely replied with something like ”that sucks, man.” or ”I hope you contact them about it because that doesn’t sound right. Sorry that happened, my guy.”

A little f-ing empathy is ok, for crying out loud.

OP - hopefully SDS will get back in touch with you in a timely manner. If I hadn’t done anything wrong, I’d wonder what was going on, too. Good luck!

this is someone I, aswell as everyone can appreciate^

I'm feeling like there's something missing from your story!!!

like what

Like what actually got you banned!

If you are trying to sell me and everyone else on that selling Ohtani got you banned for market manipulation, I would wave the flag on that!

There was 200 LS Ohtani cards sold on the market between 7:13AM to 7:01PM (PDT) and who knows how many since the start of this game, but some how we are supposed to believe you got banned solely for selling this same exact card?

C'mon man!!! You know darn well that you aren't telling us what you really did to get banned!

i didn’t do anything! you think you know everything, but i literally didn’t do anything. ridiculous you’re accusing me of doing something ( i don’t even know what could’ve gotten me banned). think what you want but if the community is like this then i’ll just put the game down bc i just came here for some help and i’m getting accused of a banned label offense

HAHA! Because I know you aren't telling the whole story doesn't make me think I know everything. I know I don't everything. I know that I don't know what you did to get banned, but I do know that it wasn't for selling LS Ohtani on the market!
it definitely was, i went from 75k, to nothing, up to 150k, back down to like 10k, and they probably thought i bought stubs. quit acting smart, i did nothing to get banned, just shut up if u aren’t tryna be a good person u just start problems in all of ur posts

Ok, I’ll bite.
Are you a card flipper?
How many stubs do you have?
You said you sold live series Otani, what was the buy order price?

i’m not a card flipper, i just play the game for fun, i have 10k stubs after buying the players i wanted, now it says 0, and i sold him for about 150k i just hit sell now

i stg nothing missing, i pulled ohtani bc i saved up stubs to buy a bundle and i did the usa map conquest for an extra 60 packs, i literally opened 110 packs pulled ohtani and sold him and my accounts banned.

i pulled shohei live series last night after nearly finishing the US map conquest, get on this morning to finish and my account is banned because of “stub manipulation” after my ohtani sold. i’ve never bought stubs in game or externally, i put in an appeal today but i’m struggling with the idea of pulling anything good and getting banned again, like why should i even play?
