    Proof of Cheating in the MLB 2K12 Million Dollar Perfect Game Challenge


    We have a situation...

    It seems there were a few (maybe more than a few) cheaters in the MLB 2K12 million dollar perfect game challenge.

    The final eight contestants have been contacted, but not officially released by 2K Sports. Scott Young finished in 10th place, but feels he was cheated out of a top 8 spot. He has the proof and shared it with Kotaku.

        People always have to be lame and try to find whatever exploit or loophole they can when real money is on the line.

        The same thing happened in the All Pro Football 2K8 tournament that Gamestop ran back when the game first launched. The guy who made it to the final was freezing people's systems and using an illegal field goal block exploit to make it that far.

            2K can't seem to catch a break. I think this contest could be great publicity, but this will sour it.

              Not surprising, if someone can find a way to achieve financial security with something as shallow as video gaming, who wouldn't? I'm not knocking gaming, i'm an avid gamer who spends several hours a week on that hobby.

              Just saying i'm not going to attack someone for trying to exploit a video game for financial security, it's not nearly on the same level of other immoral activity others stoop to too achieve less financial freedom.

                      $1 Million Dollars up for grabs -- honestly, I'd look for a loophole to -- I can't be the only one without a millie on OS...

                        people cheat all the time because there are more than enough idiots out there. You can't achieve much in life if you play fair, sad but true.

                            I'm very suprised I haven't heard about this until now. What a mess...

                            Like one of the respondents stated, a CPU substitution lock would have avoided any issue. And/Or, I also agree that their scoring algorithm should have been based on the actual players involved.

                            Great read. Thanks for sharing.
