I played a good bit of NBA 2K last year and the game was infested with "Zens". Basically made it so they'd be able to program their jumpshots to always hit the "green" window and never miss. I assume there's stuff like that for every sport game now.

I remember in the SNES days when I first heard rumors of devices that let you play against other people online how amazing that sounded at the time. :rolleyes:

I have no idea how bullshit those numbers are. I haven’t played much multiplayer besides MMOs and ARPGs since the 360 era. just lost my interest in it.
cheating, my now poor reaction skills and getting called a faggot and or jogger by a 14 year old that just learned how to cuss is most of why I don't multi-play any more.

Cheaters are just a different type of troll/edge lord for the most part. When you play enough you don't get bothered by it as much because you know it's some 14 year old kid swiping his mom's card and then getting identity thefted OR some Russian guy cheating because he wanted to see if he COULD. Or they're just Chinese people.

Chinese people do it because their society is fucked and all the males are considered worthless unless they produce results by any means necessary. There was a documentary a few years ago about it, China just had this huge boom of lonely males and they did anything they could to stick out including cheating because it was more important to get noticed, even if dishonorably, than to fall into the dregs with most people.

Then there's the less common and harder to detect boomer that uses "soft cheats" to try and be competitive because they just aren't/weren't. Stuff like wallhacks in X radius, loot radar, soft-toggles for bodys that don't aim lock but find the target. These guys are all over stuff like Battle Royales and BattleField/CoD, but they're much harder to detect unless you get to spectate them for a while. Add in aim assist which does half of that for free on a controller and you've really got to know your shit to understand who is and who isn't cheating in most shooters now.

Unless they're spinning like a helicopter shooting everyone in the head from spawn, but out of 20 cheaters I encounter in these games, about 2 of them are like that.
