That's just wildly untrue.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll go to work tomorrow and let everyone know we've been doing it wrong.


Just was pointing out your analogy was both silly and impossible.

I completely agree with the point you were trying to make but it made no sense.


Not going to talk about banking in this thread though, if you wish feel free to PM me.

I find it weird that :
And all the analogies comparing felony acts, forgery, and other random comparisons it's a f'n video game, get real.

No, it's theft. If people were using an exploit to score more runs in the game, your point would be valid (though perhaps somewhat facile).

This is a digital good that is sold for real money. "It's only a game" may help you sleep at night, but it is no less theft than pirating a copy of a game is.

What's going on here is more akin to counting cards at a casino. They ask you to leave.
They don't have you arrested. The Sony stance is the same, by banning, they say you are not welcome here any longer. If Sony isn't pressing charges for theft, then shame on them for letting crooks run free.

Not that anyone cares, but here's my opinion. I have not been banned on either of my accounts(haven't played much as I got back into NBA2K during the playoffs).
I find the banning of players whether guilty or innocent a little harsh, and here is my reasoning. I understand that this is was an exploit and people gained something from nothing, however many of the people here who claim the bans were appropriate also benefitted last year during the stubs fairy debacle(I did too), I find it hypocritical. For everyone who are making the analogy of this to any fiduciary proceeding you forget one thing, you have the opportunity for an appeals process with a mediator. This process seems to be without any recourse for those accused and I cannot stand behind that at all.

How are you arriving at this conclusion?

There was a whole thread in here last year with people talking about it, it wasn't secret. Selling common cards last year for 500k-999k was the norm. The devs for the game even commented on it during one of their streams this year before the game came out. Many here benefitted from it, if you didn't fine, I never said EVERYONE.

looks like enough people put the pressure on the show. Either it's a blanket statement to calm the heat. Or they're looking into possible wrongly accused bans. Now everyone can finally get some sleep.

You're right, I missed that you didn't say everyone, my bad.

Innocent people are prosecuted all the time. Innocent people are convicted all the time. Attorneys prosecute people that they don't believe are guilty, because getting a conviction is more valuable than accurately catching criminals.

As someone that works for a Solicitor (Prosecutor) this is flat out not true

LOL at "repayment".

LOL at "repayment".

There were people on twitter saying "We should get rewarded for not abusing the exploit."

Get the **** outta here with that, you bottom feeders.

This is one of the most ridiculous comments I've ever seen. Scratch that, it is THE most ridiculous comment I've ever seen.

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

It absolutely blows my mind that people are expecting "repayment". I really hope that Jake guy is completely innocent and is one of the ones that falsely banned because if he's not.....oh man lol.

Also, the reward for not doing the exploit is about the most ludicrous garbage i've heard in a while. Self entitlement. It needs to be flushed down the toilet.
