But as 2K has a history of doing -- going back to 2K11's and 2K15's hacked demigod MyPlayers that were never dealt with -- they are way too soft when it comes to acting against the types of cheaters who aren't affecting their virtual currency sales or disrupting their MyTeam market.

This is dissapointing and rage inducing .... sigh .....

Sad how people have not been punished for this but people have been punished for sniping players on the MT Auction House. I don't understand how they enforce that they will get stricter and place more bans yet still say they won't ban people who have blatantly exploited or worked around the system the have in place. Seeing this is just a slap in the face honestly. And I can figure that, if they do anything at all about this, they will act on it at a random time when people least expect it (i.e. fixing Break Starter in 2K16 in the last two qualifying rounds of RTTF).
