Okay, so, I’ve been diving deep into MLB The Show lately, and man, the talk about cheaters is all over the place. I wanted to see what’s up, so I spent a good chunk of my weekend trying to figure it out.
First off, I jumped into a bunch of online matches. I’m not the best player, but I can hold my own. What I noticed is that sometimes, it felt like my opponents knew exactly what pitch I was throwing and where. It was like they were psychic or something. I mean, some people are just crazy good, but this felt different.
So, I started digging around. I hit up forums, watched some streams, and basically lived on Reddit for a few hours. Turns out, there’s a lot of chatter about some kind of cheat where people can see your pitch before you even throw it. I’m not sure how it works, but it’s definitely a thing that’s being talked about.
Then I tried to find actual cheat codes, like the ones we used to use back in the day. Guess what? There aren’t any. At least not in the traditional sense. This isn’t some old-school game where you can just punch in a code and get unlimited everything. Nope.
I even looked into that whole Cronus thing. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s basically a device that lets you use different controllers on different consoles, but it can also run scripts and stuff. Some folks say it can be used to cheat, but honestly, I couldn’t find any solid proof that it works for MLB The Show in a way that gives a major advantage.
- Started playing a bunch of online games.
- Felt like opponents knew my pitches.
- Searched forums and streams for answers.
- Found talks of a pitch-seeing cheat.
- Looked for classic cheat codes, found none.
- Explored the Cronus device, no concrete proof.
What I did find, though, were a ton of complaints about the AI. Some people swear the AI cheats, especially when you’re ahead. Like, you’ll be cruising through a game, and suddenly the computer starts hitting everything like they’re all Babe Ruth. I’ve definitely had a few games where it felt like the AI just decided I wasn’t allowed to win anymore. It’s frustrating, to say the least.
After all this, I even tried to report a few players I thought might be cheating. But who knows if anything will come of it. It’s not like the game slaps a big “CHEATER” label on anyone. And honestly, the whole reporting system feels kind of clunky.
My Conclusion?
There’s definitely something fishy going on. Maybe it’s not full-blown cheating, but there are ways people are getting an edge, especially with knowing what pitch is coming. And the AI? Well, let’s just say it can be pretty darn suspicious sometimes. But at the end of the day, I’m still going to play. I love the game, even with all this nonsense. Just gotta get better, I guess, and hope the developers do something about the weird stuff.
