SCEA Bans Many Players for Using Exploits in MLB The Show 16

Come on, there's a logical difference between someone doing it a couple of times versus 30 or 50 times.

There shouldn't need to be a limit that is set by Sony. People should use common sense. Don't cheat and you have nothing to worry about.

By your logic, if I robbed a bank, they should have fixed their slow response time, moved on with no prison time and the bank should just eat the loss.

You can't accidently rob a bank. But it sounds like you can accidently trigger this. If you buy & sell a lot, it wouldn;t be hard to trigger this a lot , esp. if you ty to cancel on your ps4 & see it didn't register while you're on your phone & try to cancel again.Sony screwed up in the first place by even making cancellations possible.

then maybe say what it is so people don't accidentally do it. Most probably don't know it's an exploit and will get banned.

Ramon's response.

you can't accidentally do it, we fixed
the exploit weeks ago.

Come on man people aren't idiots. These people KNEW exactly what they were doing and what was happening. They exploited/cheated the system.

If these people are fair and honest patrons, how come not one of them called Sony and said, "Hey I tried to cancel my transaction, but I still received the stubs without paying for them. How do we fix this?"

@ ShowTyme

If you cannot accidentally do it...how can it be provoked?

Touche. You can't accidentally trigger this 30+ or 40+ times, get 3 million stubs and be like "i challenge you to tell me what I did wrong".

Um, no.

I would guess by knowing how to do the exploit and doing it over and over intentionally.

Here's some numbers 26,32,41,58.............in some cases this is how many times some users used the exploit. That's systematic in my opinion.

By doing this some acquired over hundreds of thousands and in some cases millions in stubs.

Sox, that makes me think...

I wonder if it was the same transaction being cancelled multiple times versus various ones over the length of time the game's been out. So if you have a Trout or Kershaw and cancel that transaction like 5 times (same day?) to get a ton of stubs. That kindly goes back to the line in the sand that SCEA determined was ban-worthy.

It's probably not the guys like Kershaw, Trout, Harper but the tier below that. The guys like Goldy, Cutch, etc. the guys that go for 15-20K. Because iirc from last year Trout, Kershaw, Harper all went for like 75K+. So the math doesn't add up there. And they do it 3 or 4 times a week.

Re: SCEA Bans Many Players for Using Exploits in MLB The Show 16

Can someone enlighten me? I'm totally confused.

Was the exploit in the in-game marketplace? Or were people buying stubs, cancelling the transaction on their credit card later, and then still getting the stubs without paying for them?

Raymon's response.

Wait, Sony claims to have fixed the exploit WEEKS ago, but it can still be exploited?
That doesn't add up.

People ARE idiots. Sony has said doing this a few times is acceptable. I'm positive the great majorty deserved banning. But it sounds like Sony threw the baby out with the bath water & banned some people that didn't deserve it. Sony gives me stubs all the time, I don't know if it's intentional or not. I don't even have a clue exactly how many I have. I have no intention of using them. If Sony wants them back, they are welcome to climb into my ps4 & get them. But I'm not wasting my time keeping up with what stubs I think are legit mine, and then wasting more time on top of that tracking down what I think has wrongly been given to me. I would rather Sony just do away with all this stub businiess. It's a shame I can't just play baseball without having to worry about Sony beancounter **** up.

In game marketplace. The rumor is they would place a buy order on a player. Then when it came time to cancel the order to put in a new they would do it twice (once on the console and once on a tablet, phone, pc, etc.).

This was sad and funny. Guy tried to call Ramone out and Ramone got him back. Guy did the exploit 41 times and got over 3 million stubs and had the audacity to ask what he did wrong. LOL the hilarity. Dude even said "Ramone I challenge you to tell what I did wrong."

I know that guy and he did nothing wrong. He is a disabled that plays the market a ton. He is actually going thru depression apparently. I know most probably wont believe him but we will see. Either way this has gotten out of hand.

Alot of misinformed ppl in here but thats ok....easy to criticize ppl n these situations. Alot of people are missing the point though. Noone is defending anyone who blatantly cheated the system. I am defending guys that were falsely flagged for whatever reason. I dont care what numbers their queries are spitting out...we all know sds made errors in the past.

What happened was Sony fixed the exploit 2 weeks ago or whenever it was. And between the fixing of the exploit and the release of the mass bans 2 days ago they were looking at their data, checking it 3 times, to see who they were going to ban. So all these people were able to continue playing for X amount time before they got banned.

Yeah clearly he did nothing wrong. According to Twitter you know a lot of banned users. Get over it man you guys got caught so cut the crap.

Touche. You can't accidentally trigger this 30+ or 40+ times, get 3 million stubs and be like "i challenge you to tell me what I did wrong".

Um, no.

So you believe 100% of those banned were done so deservedly. From what I have seen in this thread, they have banned at least 1% wrongly. And that 1% is 100% too much.

Come on...please...just stop. lol

Yes the ones that did it 30+ times were banned deservedly.
