I noticed in the League Forum someone made mention that Houston had stacked their team, so I went to check out what someone had to do to get a .765 winning percentage over the course of a year.
While reviewing the debacle, I mean team, I noticed that they had a payroll of 945 and cash of 4,5 . Funny how someone ends up with an all-star team, a ridiculous payroll and a display error all at the same time.
When viewing their Expenses I saw that they had a payroll of 945, total revenue of 37(!) and a cash balance of 4,005! At least I was able to solve the display error for Cash.
Quite simply, this is the worst kind of cheating! I inherited Cincinnatti from someone who basically raped the team entirely and ditched it in last place mid-way through a season. At least I know who did it, Houston has Griffey Jr. in their AAA side along with Craig Biggio. So not only do I have to rebuild, I get to do it against a cheater with enough resources to field that All-Star team for the next four seasons!
I really enjoy this game, but that is not fun and it totally needs to be addressed. That particular game is irrelevant, I'll just dump that team and go into another league, but as I wish to pay to continue playing this game when it goes live, I would EXPECT there to be some sort of commissioner's office that has people overseeing dodgey trades or blatant cheating just like other online RPG's have moderators.
