OS Roundtable: What do you think of Cheatgate MLB 2K12?

[Yeats]

This story isn't about cheaters so much as it's about 2K dropping the ball, making excuses and being in complete denial yet again and as usual. Another example of the ineptness that's now synonymous with the 2K brand.

I think its sad. Shame it tarnishes what is actually a GREAT baseball game this year. I always enjoyed 2k baseball and hope it does not go away. 2k is far superior to ANY EA sports game. EA feels WAAAAAAY too arcadey and glitchy.

Want to talk about exploits? Psshf. Pick any EA sports game. Loaded with them.

I did miss who won the million dollar prize this year and cheated to win it?

Was Bill Belichick playing the MLB 2k contest this year?

If you're not cheating you're not trying. What I mean by this is there are loop-holes and grey areas in all competitions it is the responsibility of the competitor to find them and use them to their advantage.

Bottom line, if he cheated and broke a rule then he should be disqualified. If he didn't break a rule but just exposed a flaw in the contest then that's 2k's fault for not covering all their tracks. I thought you had to tape the games and everything was verified so if the lineup was changed then they should be able to see that and see that it goes against their rules.

I think we should be talking about the actual game instead of talking about a stupid contest that nobody cares about.

I hope you don't teach your children that philosophy.

Well haven't you played sports in your life, weather it be high school college, or whatever level it may be? What's some of the first things the coaches teach you? It's where those grey areas are in the rules and how to exploit them to your advantage over your competitor. It's not cheating it's exploiting the rules to your advantage.
