Hey @HustlinOwl_PSN , good to see you back this year! I'm back too, can't believe SDS is letting bots/cheaters back on top this year too!

And no alternate uniforms yet?! Grrrr...

Ran into MoleLake on PS4….. scored 15 runs in the first inning, couldn’t do anything about it and had to quit out of the game. Hopefully my report does something….

You can't cheat on a ps4, he's just better than you

Yes you can, it's rare but some guys do it. It's called ZEN cheating.

It's easy to spot the diff between a great player and a ZEN cheater

@thewooderboy__psn said in Online Rated so shameful:

I’m already sick of playing Toronto too. I’m from Philly so I naturally only use the Phillies but it gets boring playing the same 5 teams over and over again.

I'm Canadian so if you ever play against me, don't hate me if I choose the Jays haha

I agree, this has been going on for years, should'nt be that complicated to identify the "players" doing this and banning them or something

@slugger455_psn said in Freeze off really.......???????:

I'm in a freeze off right now, unbelievable. @SDS needs to do something about this problem, has been going on for 5 years+ now.

That's the guy. 43W1L? Yeaaaa right.

@Collin_SDS_PSN please look at these cheaters! They are ruining online play!

I've played with the Jays for years, even when they sucked. But yeah man like 95% of my games are against Dodgers/Yankees 🥱

I'm in a freeze off right now too, after I hit a bomb with Vladdy Jr!! What is SDS doing about this BS that has been going on for years now??

Didn't take long for him to make his way to MLB22. All online rated players be warned and block him immediately

Thanks Owl, I'll keep an eye out for this guy.

Any ZEN cheaters so far this year?

Usual SDS pitching logic when Degrom/Buelher pitch: can still throw 99mph fastballs even after 100 pitches. Even if the batter makes "Good" contact with proper PCI location, he hits a lazy fly ball for an easy out.

I have the same tendency as you. How do you apply the PCI lock?

@greedyg103_xbl said in Anything new for online rated games?:

At the very least I hope they synchronized the players real life stats. They have literally been wrong every game, every year!

Call it a hunch but I feel like they're gonna get it wrong this year too

Can we do team co-op vs another player in online rated this year?

I'm using the current Android version of the official MLB mobile app. And wtf? There are no more "videos" & "scoreboard" section on the left side?

What about the PS5 controller? Is it easier or tougher to hit?

@joshjays44_psn said in Matt Chapman to the Jays:

Are the Jays triggering Red Sox and Yankees fans?

Let's hope so!

That makes me happy as a Jays fan

@whitejw98_psn said in Yay! Freeze off with #3 Online Rated player!:

Friendly reminder that calling out a specific player on this board is against the rules. OP should probably edit his post so he doesn't get banned.

TBH that rule protects the cheaters, same thing happened to me last year, I wanted to post the cheater's name here and I got scolded lol (instead of him)

@rainkingjones_psn said in Please do something about this zen cheating:

If you play a lot I think it’s very easy to spot.

Your opponent will be using zone hitting and he will literally be “on everything” you throw. It doesn’t matter if you throw a 99 mph fastball high and in, followed by a 76 mph change up low and away. He’ll be on it, regardless, and most times you’ll hear that distinct crack of the bat for great contact.

If you mix up your pitch type and locations well, you’ll inevitably ask yourself, “How can anybody move the pci that quickly so they’re on every single pitch I throw”? Well, unless they’re sitting next to you and you tell them exactly where you’re pitch location is gonna be, they can’t. It’s not humanly possible. And that’s where their Cronus Zen modulated controllers (cheats) take over and make it possible.

We all know how to spot the guys who get their wins by freezing the game. Their batting averages are slightly above or below the Mendoza Line, and their ERA’s are bloated. Well, using the opposite logic, look for guys who have played a ton of games and have an otherworldly batting average of like .370 and above.

I’m as competitive as anybody and absolutely hate losing. But I have no idea how cheating actually feels like winning to these clowns. I suppose if you tell yourself enough times in the mirror you’re winning legitimately and are just better than everybody else, you start to believe the fairy tale.

Yeah I was playing against some guy a few days ago on online rated, I have his username. He was literally SPOT ON on every pitch I made, I thought this was humanely impossible. We were playing at HOF difficulty, mind you. It didn't matter what I was throwing, the guy was guessing every pitch 100% correctly! He was playing with the Dodgers also.
