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

The longer they take, though, the messier this gets. They'll need to either double down on their initial stance or figure out what they did wrong and how to backtrack pretty soon I'd imagine.

It seems like they are waiting for the initial uproar to die down a bit, but it doesn't look like it is.

On a side note, I decided to play a game of MLB earlier after not playing for a couple of weeks. Ten minutes in to my session, my internet goes down for the first time in a year and is still down as we speak. It's hard to speculate why my internet has gone down. It's just weird.

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

I was one of the players banned for the exploit. At least I think I was the exploit, since they have not replied to my emails, or contacted me about the ban. I did not use this exploit. I have never moved cards with a PC and PS3 together. I have an impeccable reputation in the show as well as the MUT community. I have not violated the TOS in any way. I don't expect anyone to just believe me, because you don't know me. But all I can say is that I'm telling the truth. Many others are as well. A lot of really good people were banned, AND PUBLICLY HUMILIATED, for no good reason. This whole thing was a mistake made by SDS. I know that sounds unlikely, but again, it's the truth. I'm sure there were some that exploited the market, I'm also sure that most did not. I think they put their faith in a process that did not return accurate results. I hope they make this right, I'd actually like to continue to be a customer. But I've really lost my faith in SDS's ability to do the right thing. Those who know me in these communities, know I'm innocent. I know I'm innocent. I just hope my good reputation pays off.

You sure are working over time defending the banned folks....HAHAHA

Until they are proven innocent they are cheaters PERIOD

You have that backwards.
Until they are proven guilty they are presumed innocent.
At first Sony assumed they were guilty. It appears now Sony is attempting to prove their guilt.

It's really odd to claim that everyone banned "knowingly exploited a system" when you do not know any details of how they determined who was cheating.

If you claim to know, then tell me:

1. How did the exploit work.

2. How are you sure that it could not be accidentally triggered.

3. That, if the glitch could be accidentally triggered, that the sweep accounted for this.

* SDS says it is 100% sure its glitch cannot be accidentally triggered.

** Many credible posters that have been banned claimed they did not know of the exploit and did not intentionally trigger it. Most posters who prefer a witch hunt simply overlook that within thousands of transactions a few random stubs here and there are not going to be detected. It's not like we hire an accountant to keep a ledger of our stubs, etc.

*** According to SDS, only 1% of the "exploiters" got banned which is 1,500. That means 150,000 players intentionally used this exploit, yet not one of them ever posted about it. Of course, I say "intentionally" because SDS claims it is "100%" sure that the exploit can only be triggered "intentionally." Cardinalbird5 revealed that one of his friends was told a transaction for 200 stubs was in violation. Think about that. Are you telling me that anyone that had access to what they believed was an iron-clad exploit would pull a 200 stub transaction out of it? Silly. It seems pretty obvious the glitch had been triggered accidentally - yet, SDS refuses to acknowledge or believe it.

I think any rational view of this situation would include the simple fact that given the numbers, it is clear the exploit was triggered by tens of thousands or more people UNintentionally. I don't care how cynical you are, I am not going to believe for a minute that there are 150,000 users out there who would intentionally cheat (and have it remain quiet).

That is basically what SDS is saying - and I find that patently absurd.

Thank you.

Is there a source for this number? I don't believe SDS ever said this. They told one guy that he's was in the top 1% of exploiters. The 1,500 number came from someone else.

This game for PS3 and PS4 combined has sold 640,000 copies wordwide. It doesn't seem plausible that 150,000 different users would trigger an exploit that supposedly isn't very easy to trigger.

@redsoxforevur @ baseballsim Okay, then i am a cheater, because i am trade cards on the PS4 over 3 Month only with the sense to earn stubbs. I thought, this is the sense from the marktplace. @jaytal6 Correct!!! You say: """"This whole thing was a mistake made by SDS."""" Why does SDS not says, that we only can trade cards we need dircectly? OK, it is not allowed to use the marktplace to earn stubbs, then i need 10000€ for a big team. Thank you, i understand.

This thread is going to be an instant classic.

From cheating and exploits to SDS conspiracy theories, this thread has it all.

Stay tuned!

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

And not one person has confessed that they were guilty of doing it.

So I guess SDS is falsely banning everyone right? Even the guys that did it 30+ times and exploited to get over 3 million in stubs?

Right??

Yea this is the thing. Has anybody even said "Well yea I did it"

And for the multiple small transactions being feasible...maybe the people who were banned took a page out of Office Space...

I would love to see the specifics of it all. I'm still waiting on the specific number of users who were banned.

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

Its become the official thread of:

I DO understand everyone's reluctance to believe those who are posting about their "not guilty pleas." I my case, It really bothers me to be accused of cheating, when I've always tried to play fair with everyone. Also, I really love this game, and I'd like to play it again. But again, I respect your reluctance to believe, but I assure you, there are many innocent players out there.

I'm not saying that at all. The timing just seemed strange considering that I've made comments that might have angered some people. I'm not accusing anyone of anything, though. Paranoia on my part, I'm sure.

If you can't see the difference between that and someone that just cleared, re-loaded, cleared, re-loaded, cleared, etc. a bunch of over market bids - I would suggest you wouldn't make for a competent detective.

That's not what happened. As I recall, it had to do with putting the card up and then cancelling it nearly at the same time on the site then in the game before it updated in-game, therefore getting double your credits back.

You had to go out of your way to do it, it's not something that could "accidentally happen a bunch of times."
