People who cheat/quit

[MasonR]

It's getting QUITE annoying to see this crap happen, so I'm making this topic and posting names of people who make online play a hassle.

PUMA (Jp)
Sean Mc (USA)
F (Jp)
KANAME (jp)
B o A (jp)
SHIRO (jp)

So effin pissed right now, the last three on the list all quit on the 9th hole. I had an ace and a ****ing deag in that round, woulda had a nice -14 or -15 for the 9 and they all cut out playing the last.

It's so god darned annoying, these poor losers REALLY need to grow up and deal with it.

Can't wait until I finally play enough games to reach G0, all my games are either wins, nwes or unofficial because of quitters.
>:(

[Dr_Amazak]

It wouldn't be quite so bad if there was some sort of penalty for quitting tourneys like in OOB.

[clint_westwood]

thats why i stopped playing the PSP version months ago, cant belive that sean mc is still at it...............when will he learn

[guamyankee]

I would like to report that F quit on the9th hole the other night while losing. Avoid F at all costs! :P

[guamyankee]

Here's a new quitter/cheater to look out for. Do Re Mi (USA/God of Golf) . He quit tonight on 4th hole after hitting in water. He was NOT playing at all as good as i would expect a god of golf to play. I am a golf legend and should not have been winning. I was only making par. Avoid this guy!

[the_smug_one]

I can't stand quitters either, and think I've seen the same guy quit while playing. That said, whether a god of golf or not everyone has bad rounds. I'm a god of golf and am quite certain that I've been beaten by golf superstars, legends and wizards on plenty of occasions.

[guamyankee]

Well, maybe, but it seemed like every shot he hit, the routes he took, his strategy just didn't make sense. It was like he hadn't been playing the game very long.
I have no direct evidence that he is a cheater though.
But I do know that he is a quitter because he quit after the water shot. :-\

[lebatt]

Ya I played online tourney 2 times, and I was at -5 they were at +3 and you get no credit if they turn off their WLAN switch, wtf is that. There should be a 1 min waiting period for them to rejoin. If they dont, force forfit.

The programmers should learn that people dont like wasting 30 mins for someone to quit.

Or get feedback and make changes.

[the_smug_one]

Eagled the first two holes to start a round the other day and was quite pissed when 4 other players then decided to jump ship. It's still quite annoying to lose out to quitters, but I was surprised to notice that I didn't lose my eagle hole-outs from the round, as both had been saved in the video section.

[Roughdawg4]

really are you sure about that?


That is good news because I assumed if you got a hole in one and they all left and the game ended, it wouldn't be there.

[rowdybusch]

I think as long as you see it "record" you are fine.
but if you don't continue to play and save or save your file manually then it could be "erased" by not saving if you swapped out games or quit to do something else.

[guamyankee]

An update on F. He has changed his flag to United States, and he quit after bad holes in 2 games last night. I tried to avoid him, but he kept joining in when there were other people in my group. I think the best way to punish people like this is to just not play with them, especially if its just 2 people in your group.

[the_smug_one]

I hadn't manually saved and the shots were still there. Needless to say, I was happily surprised.

[Roughdawg4]

thats great news

[ZeroxGT]

people who quit on OT2 i call them "home runners" lol
thats when they hit the home button on the psp and quit the game!!
i hate that alot considering now im just a G2 and everytime i get ahead of someone they quit and i have to search for a long time for more challangers!!

its a good thing i cant talk to the face to face...cuz i seriously hate quitters and Cheaters...

[the_smug_one]

<i>"its a good thing i cant talk to the face to face...cuz i seriously hate quitters and Cheaters..."</i>

This is another annoying aspect of OT2 online play. For all intents and purposes, there is no online communication. <b>Hello. Nice Eagle! Congrats on the win!</b>

[ZeroxGT]

yup...sorry if i was getting out of hand..i just dislike cheaters and quitters
i can take a loss and use it as a learning experiance
i just wish more players would do the same

[Buckeye23]

honestly, what are u guys talking about, ive been in a round, recorded something, the other guy left and the vid was there,.... ???

[ZeroxGT]

when i play OT2 online and there is only 2 people in a tourny...if the other player leaves...i end up being kicked out of the game as well..this is a problem even in match play...

and i noticed u can join groups durning online play but i dont know any so that doesnt help much...
and taking the time to start a game or join one is alittle annoying but i do have alot of free time after work so its not tat bad.. just wish more people would play

[ZeroxGT]

its not the vids im worrying about... its the match...

[The-Dreamcaster]

there seems to be this problem with almost every online game. People do it on OOB too. RobG managed to have an unblemmished record up to g0. which is just poor, until they caught up with him and fixed it.
I don't get people who leave on the last hole of tourns either? even if it was a dodgy round, so what? take the round and let your records show who you are.
Quitting a game room for the same reason is pretty pointless too.

[Roughdawg4]

yeah but this is worse than oob. OOB requires alot of effort to cheat and circumvent the scores, which u cant do anyway.

OT2 all you have to do is power off to screw people over.

[interyernan]

People who cheat and quit should die and burn in hell!

[ZeroxGT]

i recommand that all the OT2 players who show TRUE sportsmanship ban toagther in a group that will make it essy on everyone so tat we dont run into anymore "quitters"

all we have to do is post group names that we can al use to ensure we are challanging people that pretty much agreed that they wont quit and if they do quit we can BUST them by posting a list of people that do quit durning a game...

idk if it will work but its a chance worth taking
i mean these groups are not for ladder matches.... just for fun online play with no stress
ive only been in 12 rounds and ONLY manage to fully play five due to people leaving the matches so my record is pretty much screwed...and im thinking of starting over...if i can but that means alot more time into getting almost everything... so if anyone still plays OT2 im happy to play around anytime but when doing so set it in a group pease...

[Roughdawg4]

I would definetly keep track of the quitters yourself, but I am not sure you want to post them on the site. I hate to single people out for mistakes that might happen.


But definetly keep track of a list on your computer because then you know not to play with these people. Or you can do what I do, play badly on purpose so they think they are doing great and then half-way through quit on them. Payback is fun :)

[KaRmA11]

I agree with Roughdawg…I have been keeping a list of quitters. I am looking for the opportunity to get some revenge. But I also know that things do happen. I have had two instances myself where I am leading in the tourney and my battery died. So it's one of those things where you have to monitor and you can figure out who the chronic quitters are.

[Roughdawg4]

yeah exactly, I might give someone a pass depending on the situation, I mean if it is a tight game or they are winning and they quit, it probably isn't there fault.

[MasonR]

Anyone who I have listed has done it more than twice, I agree that one time isn't enough to label someone a quitter, but when it happens twice in 20 minutes, it's obvious what they're doing.

[ZeroxGT]

well heres another idea:
make passwords and groups and give them out to fellow OT2 players anyone who cheats more than 5 times in that group will be removed unless the games were really good as if the game was close enough to make u cringe your teeth lol

and remove them by just changing the password that way they cant re enter for at least a few games at least depending on how serious it is

im thinking of making a group name and a password just for outside ladder matches( for fun and practice) actually we all should and if anyone wants to join them is pretty much saying they wont qut and if anything happens they can message us on why it happened....idk something like that

[the_smug_one]

I think context is an important consideration here.

I realize that quitting is quitting, but I'm much more understanding if someone ducks out in the first 2-3 holes of a 14 person tournament than one with only 3-4 players. In tournaments with very few people, I feel like you owe it to others to stick with it.

In my opinion, the absolute worst sportsmanship comes from people who quit small tournaments in the final holes, thereby demonstrating at best an indifference to the efforts of those in front and at worst an intentional sabotage of the tournament.

[ZeroxGT]

ok now im upset and shocked...i was just now playing and another quitter and to top it off his or her HSG rank was "god of golf" i mean come on....thats harsh to see that -_-*

well i think ill try to get into the ladders here and just stop trying to find players all the time... cuz it seems there are nothing but quitters out there.... people who want to hole that perfct recornd of being undefeated...but they dont realized that their record is scarred too....

at least here i know ill be happy knowing im surrounded by honest players
so please if anyoe wants to play please message me and let me know what time u have free

sorry if im alittle harsh

[ghost33]

yeah i h8 ppl who quit 2 jsut because they have a bad hole or have no chance to win the other nite i got plus 4 on first hole and ended up winning the tourney cause 1st place guy got disconnected lol

[Morpheus]

Another is RonDog from US.

[Roughdawg4]

you got to hate people that quit, man they totally ruin it especially when you got a victory in hand.

[Morpheus]

yup! That one was a match play game, on the 9th hole i was up by 1.

[ghost33]

burbon from spai cheats as well he had -8 after 2holes on dino long tee lol then he quit on 3rd hole

[ZeroxGT]

cheatres and quitters.....they will never learn....
just honer the loss and keep playing and get better
thats the only way to be a great player
thats why even if i lose i still honer my loss and i always try again

[ZeAd19]

Just found another one JPN flag "mingol". Quit the other night, but I dismissed it as a possible time-out, however, they quit after falling behind twice tonight in back to back matches. I really don't like it when people puss out...

[MasonR]

Ya that one has quit on me more than a few times.

[Super-G-73]

Yeah Likewise!

[ghost33]

im not gonna lie i have quit b4.........But ill never quit if it means denying some1 a win thats what ill honor.Ive done over 210 tourneys and mayve quit 3 times on purpose.

[Roughdawg4]

Thats different ghost. I have quit a big tournament when you make a big mistake and you can just start another one :)



And Mingol is on my list.

[ghost33]

i had a situation where i shot myself in the foot.there was one guy in a room so i joined and played
we were dead even for several holes till a par 5 he decides he wants to wait on the green and see what i do.so we had a stare off on the green i waited till 20 sec to take my putt .I sank it for eagel then he finally went and parred it so now hes down two and then he quit with two hole s to play.It was an american with the username of Tyler

[Roughdawg4]

Actually what I try and do is play really close. Sometimes I will always try to stay just one or two strokes ahead. So say if they par, I will miss my putt on purpose. Its dangerous but if you are a great player it works great.


makes them feel like they have a chance :)

[MasonR]

Ya you gotta be careful in 2person games, can't do anything flashy or showy without the other guy bailing.

For the most part I won't even join a 2 person game, but in the morning or late night there are enough jp players to not have to worry about someone leaving.

[ghost33]

yeah i know mason.i was in my basement lifting at the time so i decided to take a tourney that didnt have the pressure of beating 10 guys

[USFman10]

Man, I'll never join a 2 person tournament anymore. Way too risky IMO.

On another note, has anyone figured out the exact requirements for each online grade (e.g. g2, g1, g0, etc.)? Also, are there more people to play at the higher levels?

[ghost33]

once u get to G0 level u always find tourneys with more than 2 ppl

[ghost33]

im in a2man tourney with mingol right now bet he quits -1 to1 after 1

[ZeroxGT]

played him before but not in a one on one tourney... yeah that person quits often...but i realized its bes to play a tourney with more than two people

[MasonR]

bleep those jp players, bleep them bleep them bleep them.

I was bleeping -13 after 8 holes on Royal & Links 9h out. Playing with SEVEN people. They ALL bleepING QUIT on the last hole. Man they can bleep right the hell off, bleeping unskilled, no-honor-having losers who can't spend another 80 seconds of their life finishing something they started.

Oh and surprise surprise. King loser mingol quits after the frist hole of the next tournament.

Has anyone ever played against a GOOD japanese player? For how much they dominate OOB, they absolutely suck at OT2. I've played with a few people early morning who looked like they knew what they were doing, but everyone else just seems to shoot at best -9 for 9holes (talking easy courses here) and quit if they do any worse (and if you're gonna quit, why not after missing eag on the first 5? They can't count either?). 90% of these "G0" players are flat out jokes who only play South Alps...and still struggle to birdie out.

[Roughdawg4]

Honestly, and I know this might be a little arrogant. I think I am the best. Whenever I play, I think I can always win and I think g0 is a joke.

I don't know if people have gotten used to advanced mode and forgot how much skill it takes in traditional mode, but I know what you mean. I played in a 8 person g0 tournament and I won Central Golf Square 9 Hole in with a -11, you know what the next score was ...... -7. -7 are you freaking kidding me, I know some people have a bad game but how is 2nd place in an 8 person g0 tournament -7.

[Roughdawg4]

And as a side note, I think some japan players hate american players. I don't know what it is, but I have seen the same thing mace. In a 4 or 5 person tourney and everyone quits on the last hole. Thats why I stopped playing online now, its not fun anymore. Clap Hanz needs to change this rule because this is ridiculous.

[the_smug_one]

Honestly, and I know this might be a little arrogant. I think I am the best.


A "little" arrogant? Trust me, that statement is in no way a "little" arrogant...

Seriously though you are obviously a great player, but I think it's nearly impossible to tell who is really the best given that everyone plays in such tiny groupings - one of several issues I have with the current online format.

[MasonR]

shihiko probably has enough built-in excuses to claim he's the best at OT2.

::)

[Gally]

yes

[ZeroxGT]

well al i can say there are a FEW japan players that actually play through a 2 man tourney and they play well too if u think hitting -11 too -11 on naka and winning by pts
and yeah i ran into a few who played ok and still finished there game as well

but what really ticks me off is when there is 15 of them in the tourney with me and 10 of them QUIT!!!

[Gally]

second that

[Josh6]

Most Japanese will quit if they get like an OB or WH. today I was playing a jp player named buchi, God of Golf rank, using Logan, and on like the first par 5 on Michinoku he gets OB and quits. I ended up getting 3rd out of 4 then after a careless WH on one of the holes =/


edit: content

[ZeroxGT]

wow isnt this great cuz i played him too lol poor guy.... oh well he does the same thing

[KaRmA11]

I agree with Zerox there are some honorable Jpn players out there. I have played a few two man tournaments with 2 or 3 Jpn players and they stick around to the end. But I have also played where I got a hole in one during a tourney and 8 of the 12 people quit. Luckily one person did stick around for me to log in my first hole in one.

[ghost33]

avoid yoyo in a 2 or 3 man he quit 2 times today

[ZeroxGT]

ill write that name down on the list i have...thanks

[Boosnickerty]

DJ from Germany is another player who quits if he gets down, I would avoid him in a 2 player match.

[ghost33]

yEAH u=ive seen him quit quite a bit

[the_smug_one]

I hopped online last night and played a tournament where I'm sure looked like a quitter.

Held the lead for the first 7 holes in a 16-man group. Was going for the pin on #8 and caught a bad bounce that sent me swimming. Just as I line up my drop shot I receive a quick but dire message about my battery life, and a second later the screen just goes blank. It obviously wasn't my fault (other than the PSP battery life negligence), but it was pretty funny because I was thinking that everyone in the tourn had to be convinced I was just a sore loser. Oh good times.

[mcpy2000]

Another cheater was found, thanks to RPinkney2 :D
His name is PAN46
There's more:

Perfect, much better :)

[ghost33]

there was an american named franks that quit twice on me the other nite in a G1 match

[Kid64]

Oh yeah!

I got a win online in G0 tourney against MasonR and McPy2000 tonight!

(They both disconnected, lol)

[mcpy2000]

Both are disconnected due to unexpected error. <--Hey, that's common, right?
Well, at least everyone got a win (and no cheats are used), am I correct?

[ZeroxGT]

Oh yeah!

ok so when u posted this here are u saying they quitted on purpose?
didnt they get an unexpected DC in the game? i was sitting in the chatroom when it happend
and im sure they wouldnt quit on purpose...callig them out here in this post was uncalled for

and they reported their losses too so im sure they didnt quit on purpose.......

No, they did not report losses.

Mcpy200 isn't on the ladder... and this wasn't a ladder match so I don't think MasonR would report either.

I'm not calling them out. :o

They were both bummed. I think Mason was one shot behind me with 4 holes to go and Mcpy was even with me on the 6th hole when the disconnects happened.

Some people get unexpected disconnects all the time because of bad routers or crappy internet service or whatever. I was just surprised that I got an online win against two players that are miles and miles above my play level because of a diconnect.

Calling me out for calling them out when I didn't call them out is uncalled for! :D

Indeed we are DC in an unwanted manner :(

[Roughdawg4]

It is definetly common since we are forced to use wireless instead of a wired connection. Its just part of the game with OT2.

Exactly. A very unwanted manner.

Sorry ZeroxGT if you thought my posting in this thread was innapropriate. It was meant to be humorous in an absurd way, since it was just the unreliable technology that gave me the win over two superb players, and not the play of a terrible player such as myself.

I apologize if I've cause any consternation. :(

[ghost33]

the issue i have with quitters are when everyone quits and takes ur win away other than that i could care less

actually in a way i should be apologiing for calling you out on this situation and should have been handled differently knowing that it was a joke makes everything i that i said to you really crappy....and besides im the terrible player...i just get lucky from time to time lol

anywho.. i do apologize...and noted that it was misunderstanding but lets not post about people we know here in this topic since we know this topic is about cheaters and quitters....
and second i need to be alittle more observant...before i react

[mcpy2000]

You just need to go back to G0 AFAP.
BTW I got 3 albas today, has got 100 albas in total.

[Roughdawg4]

You just need to go back to G0 AFAP.



I will, AFAP :)

[ZeroxGT]

You just need to go back to G0 AFAP.
BTW I got 3 albas today, has got 100 albas in total.

yes i will get to G0 As Fast As possible
and Great job on getting 100 Albys ;D
1 more round before i get G2...again

[mcpy2000]

If you do that at home you should be in G0 within 5 hours
make sure you play games in "short" time

[ZeroxGT]

If you do that at home you should be in G0 within 5 hours

well if people stop quitting on me this wouldnt be a problem...and then i had a DC when i was up by 3 strokes....

[ghost33]

u guys have bad luck guys hardly ever quit on me i even have like 10 wins with just me and another guy.no complaints worth gettin all tight about from me

[ZeroxGT]

obviously some one has luck on their side...

[ghost33]

guys are very considerate to me online for ot2 and im likewise to them

[ZeroxGT]

guys are very considerate to me online for ot2 and im likewise to them


thats good but i hope ur save doesnt get deleted again....the G3's are stepping up big time!!
seen alot of GoG's
anyways..i only had a few quitters but mostly play in groups of 3 or more if i can

[ghost33]

yeah i gotta start my second save soon

[ZeroxGT]

yeah i gotta start my second save soon


if i make a second account..its goonna be for guests or i just download the gamesave from gamefaqs...and use that as a guest save file

[ghost33]

im gonna make my second account for two of my buddies that like the game but dont like the fact u cant play two players on the one psp

[ZeroxGT]

im gonna make my second account for two of my buddies that like the game but dont like the fact u cant play two players on the one psp


tell them to buy a psp and OT2...play through the game OR download a gamesave..then enjoy the multiplayer action

If you do that at home you should be in G0 within 5 hours

well if people stop quitting on me this wouldnt be a problem...and then i had a DC when i was up by 3 strokes....



Okay this is the trick that I do that worked most of the time, but it is highly dangerous since you need to be really good or confident for it to work :)


Don't get a big lead. If you are in first playing one other person and you see them par and you have a 1 or 2 stroke lead, miss your birdie putt. You will get better points then them (assuming you shot well to go for a birdie). I realize this is not the best method to use, but you are letting them think they have a chance of coming back when they might not. Yes this has backfired a few times but it has worked many times for me.

[mcpy2000]

The only reason for so many GoGs is that they practice a lot before they go online to bully some OT2 rookies.
I think you are that group, zero. ;D

[ghost33]

i like to keep it close so they thought they had a chance.But what a dont unerstand if its a two ppl tourney u automatically get 1st or 2nd.Cant ask for an easier second than that right

[KaRmA11]

What is a Mingol Man? ??? ??? ??? ???

[MasonR]

Doesn't mean much if Canadian is one, I'll tell you that. /rimshot

About that; does anybody know if second places in 2-player tournaments counts the same towards promotion/demotion/keeping the grade as a second place in a, say, 16-player tournament? If so, then yes it's a very easy pod... And of the 12 tournaments I've played myself, I think only 3 have had more than two, so I've gotten quite a few easy pods and points if that's the case... :-\

[Kid64]

It's weird. Sometimes I've seen tournaments start out with a full 16 and end up with 3 or 4 players. Mostly though, I see players keep going unless they have a really bad hole.

As far as JP players quitting (and not liking US players) I had a nice tourney win myself tonight:

And I led from the 2nd hole on! Woohoo!

[Roughdawg4]

Nice Win there Kid :)

[ZeroxGT]

i like to keep it close so they thought they had a chance.But what a dont unerstand if its a two ppl tourney u automatically get 1st or 2nd.Cant ask for an easier second than that right


About that; does anybody know if second places in 2-player tournaments counts the same towards promotion/demotion/keeping the grade as a second place in a, say, 16-player tournament? If so, then yes it's a very easy pod... And of the 12 tournaments I've played myself, I think only 3 have had more than two, so I've gotten quite a few easy pods and points if that's the case... :-\


yes cartman the 2-man torneys count :)

and kid Great job with that win at nakagawa i bet it was quite a battle

[mcpy2000]

GJ for the win Kid64
BTW has anyone played a full house battle before (with less than half gone OB)?

[RPinkney2]

PAN46 is at it AGAIN!


I just signed up for an 18 hole tourn on Autumn Pagoda
and I see PAN46 in there - so I think oh great...

Sure enough after 1 he was -4, after 2 -8, after three -11...

And then he quits out! (again)

What is the point of this hack if you just quit out of the game with no stats?


Somebody enlighten me please!

[mcpy2000]

Wishing all cheaters got DC in the middle + putting bomb gems and doom gems in the game. (from Bejeweled Twist)
When they are cheating, KABOOM~! 8DDD

[RPinkney2]

DC?

[mcpy2000]

DC?

I said wish, but we do hope that come true of course ;D
We love to put an end for the cheaters.

[RPinkney2]

I was asking what DC meant! I have no idea what that stands for!

[mcpy2000]

DC=Disconnection, not digital camera XD

[gypsyball]

When I was playing OT2 online with my old FAT PSP, I got DC a lot. I think I may had a bad WLAN switch. Though having it located on the lower left side was not a bright idea, where you can accidentally hit it while you are holding your PSP.

[ZeroxGT]

if the Phat psp is DC'ing like that then get a 2000 model(slim) a used one for about 120 bucks

[ghost33]

i have a fat psp and i hardly ever get dc'ed but ido have a fat psp that has a broken power switch

[ZeroxGT]

u should go on ebay and find one to use for parts and fix that switch

[ghost33]

im just gonna send my old one and 98 bucks t sony and get a new one

[cartman1337]

If you play G2, look out for HIKARU from Japan. I've played 2 games against him, he quit both. Fortunately one of the rooms had 6 people, so it didn't end the game, but he's still a quitter to look out for...

Oh and, YAY! Made G1 in the second of those game! :)

I think the one is from HIKARU no GO, same meaning as HIKARI, but more masculine.

[KaRmA11]

*Rob* is a quitter too. Don't play him in a 2-3 man game. He will quit if he is not leading.

[mcpy2000]

Played with him beforehand, he quited on a 6-man game when he did not lead after the 1st hole, kind of bad etiquette >:(

[KaRmA11]

That seems to be his norm. I know he is going to quit so it's just he and I in the room I leave.

[mcpy2000]

GET HIM DEMOTED AND PUT A DOOM GEM BESIDE HIM!!! >:(
BOOOOOOOOOOM~!!! ;D

[MasonR]

Thing that sucks about this game is that there's no accountability, that's why it's hard to take the online players too seriously. There's no lobby to return to where people would have to face the others they've wronged or soap box for which to stand upon and call people out for being losers.

Once I got all the prizes I didn't go looking for games online anymore unless it's early morning and I know it'll be a full tournament, or unless it was against people on this site, or unless I get an email from someone asking to play.

You'll see people recommend taking a bit of a dive yourself to keep the other player interested, not at all a good idea imo. If they're gonna leave they're gonna leave. I'd rather just have them quit then sit through 10 more minutes of me intentionally missing putts or hitting bad shots. Not fun at all to shoot -8 at Nakagawa for 9h (or to even play Naka for that matter, course is getting OLD) just to get a win. I guess if you still have prizes to get or you might get demoted it's reasonable.

Best option is to just avoid those quitter friendly scenarios, like 3 player games when you don't know the other two players. But hell, I've played FULL 16 man tournaments with Jp players before, with 9 people still playing on the last hole, they've all quit before finishing out (presumably because I was winning). Very bush league and very dishonorable. Christ it's not like I was flying the Enola Gay that day.


Easiest fix would be just to allow people to keep playing even if they're the only one left. It could be abused for good stats but then again what game can't nowadays?


I will say this, if you're a fan of cutting yourself and things of that nature, and you see a Fortress game wit Rough and Trap +2 with one person waiting in it, that's [Insert#]Wins, a pretty good jp player that likes to punish himself on the course. Last time I played him we had a hell of a game. 7 birds each for 9 holes, he shot -2 I shot -4 lmao.

[RPinkney2]

That Jerk Pan46 is at it again with his cheating ways! Playing Naka Tourney he's -11 after three holes! and -15 after 4? I'm sure he will quit out here in a minute... Again, WHAT IS THE POINT OF DOING THIS? If you're just going to quit out anyway?

[Roughdawg4]

Pan46 is a hacker, just avoid him.

[RPinkney2]

He's now -20 after 5... I don't want to quit out of the game though!

[Roughdawg4]

he is cheating man, just quit. I never play with him, he is the only name I see often

[RPinkney2]

Now -24 after 6... This is the longest I've ever seen him go... If he goes all the way I am going to take a picture!

[RPinkney2]

-27 after 7... Wow WTF! already at 4069 points... This is BS!

[mcpy2000]

Take a shot and ban his opportunity to sign up here.
Courtesy play always goes first ;)

[Roughdawg4]

There is a cheat that always makes you get a hole in one no matter what strokes you have. So he will finish high :)

[RPinkney2]

-31 after 8. This is ridiculous!

[RPinkney2]

All said and done - -36 with a score of 5211! This is crap! I will be posting a picture of this if he doesn't quit out at the last second...

[MasonR]

Well I guess we know who King Loser is.


http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=943343&topic=45726657

Good times btw.

[RPinkney2]

You guys wanna see some crap? Here it is!

[RPinkney2]

And here is the other one!

[cartman1337]

That's just sick...

R&R's legit score of -13 is pretty good, though. :)

[MasonR]

His points absolutely sucked for his score.

[TN*JJ*]

And here is the other one!


I wound up in a tourney against him last night and by the end of the 5th hole, 7 out of 8 had quit, including myself. I'm not a quitter, but this was just ridiculous cheating and I didn't even see his name come up until after the 1st hole was over and I saw the Leaderboard.

[Roughdawg4]

You are not a quitter if you leave when someone is cheating.

[TN*JJ*]

Thanks, RD...I appreciate it. I'm still feeling pretty down about my Season 2 Week 2 score last night and then got in a G0 tourney to see if I could do a little better and was actually at -6 after the 5th hole when I had to quit because of this guy.

[WelpItsMe]

People who cheat, do suck, for sure. But after seeing a number of cheaters, it's hard for me, sometimes, to not wonder if more people are cheating.

I've seen the 500yard power cheaters. the always hole in one cheaters. I saw a cheater whos score would change in between holes. It would jump from -4 to something like -30 back to -4 and all around.

That's the really obvious stuff.

But I wonder if some people are cheating in a way to always get perfect impact, or always super spin(the blue streak kind).

I wonder this because after playing against a few jp players a lot, i've noticed a couple who always, and I do mean always, as in every single hole, get super spin, and who even from the rough for sand hit it perfectly and still get super spin. I'm talking people who play with characters with a 9 impact rating, and a spin rating of sub 20 or even mid teens. Yet their chips always back up a good 8 feet on the green, regardless of where they strike it from.

I dunno, maybe they're just really super freakin awesome, it's just....well like I said, after seeing so many cheats, I wonder if there are some people cheating in slightly subtler ways.

[Roughdawg4]

Its possible, I mean if you know what you are doing the options are limitless though. The thing is if they did mess with impact you would see it on the stats screen before you play.


I have noticed some people with 30 on all stats which is impossible.

[Roughdawg4]

and just to continue on, I have seen someone modify the wind. It was fortress and after hole 5 the wind was going like 8m to the right and in the middle of my swing it was 0m ( which screwed me up bad).

It was 0m the rest of the 4 holes, I have never seen that on Fortress so I assume somehow somebody was cheating.

[MasonR]

Well that would be a first for gamehacks. Altering someone else's gameplay from a different PSP?

[Roughdawg4]

Well the wind is global for everyone in a multiplayer game right.

[MasonR]

He could be capable of altering the wind for his game, but not yours I'm sure.

Gamehacking doesn't mean you can do anything you want, there are still limitations, such as not being able to change the gameplay for someone on a different PSP.

[Roughdawg4]

He can't hack my PSP, I realize that. But when you go online for an event like rain, wind, etc. That effects everyone. So in essence if he can change the wind, it would change the wind for anyone playing in that room right. Look maybe it was a glitch, but I know what I saw and it was freaky :)

[RPinkney2]

Not that I want to, but how do these people hack the game so they can cheat online?

[ghost33]

i tell ya whats WAY worse than cheaters and quitters is when there are tons of G3's in lobby but not enough guys to get a legit g3 tourney to count towards g2 status that can really P!ss u off!!!

[Roughdawg4]

Even if I did know, I wouldn't tell anyone. Cheating ruins the game and to me should be forbidden. If you ever get caught cheating on this site, I don't even want to think what the punishment should be :)

[the_smug_one]

I think it has to do with custom firmware that gets run on the PSP. Not really sure how it works though.

[Roughdawg4]

Yes it does and a few of us have it (Custom firmware) because it is really useful for other things, especially for video streaming :)


I am not sure how it works either, but why would anyone want to know.

[the_smug_one]

So then... fair to assume that anyone using custom firmware is ineligible to submit PBs?

<b>Kidding!</b> Sorry, that was too easy... couldn't resist :)

[mcpy2000]

You are not a quitter if you leave when someone is cheating.

You rock, hit the key words! RD! GJ! ;D

ATTN: These girls are doing big hacks of world server.  It is not possible to use kanji and Japanese characters in the world server to play the game.

[ghost33]

my first G3 tourney a guy missed his first birdie on hole 3 DCed lol.

[Rengar]

Hmm... so cheating is possible.

I've owned this game since December, and I just started doing online sessions, just this Saturday. I was playing this one game, and I was in the lead with about a -3 or something. I'm not a great player, so I was expecting to be beaten eventually, but then I started noticing on the scoreboard this player in 4th place with about 800 points, on about the 3rd hole. (with me being at about 1200 points and the other guys at around the same). All of a sudden I notice the board show that his stroke count was -6... and his placement was still 4th on the leader board for a good 3 holes after I noticed that -6 stroke score...

Me and the second place guy managed to get an eagle on the first hole.... i couldn't understand how this 4th place guy had a stroke of -6, by the 3rd hole...and was still under 3 of us.... with me on top with a -2. I thought maybe the game used the points as the places, but then about 2 holes later, all of a sudden, the board placed him in 1st place....

Guess the 'ker was cheating.... I don't remember the user name, either...

I was wondering if the game just glitched or something... and just let it go... Wasn't long after everyone quit, except me.... We started off with 6 players. Guess, I know why, now...

[Roughdawg4]

Cheating is very possible, the PSP is easily hacked and there are very many things that can be done with it.

[ghost33]

one match from being G0 but these quitters are holding me back again.I bet if i lose on purpose again they wont quit pathetic isnt it?At least there seems to be an answer to this BS!

[ghost33]

if he isnt arleady on this list add P-Large(american flag) to this list.God these ppl are severely annoying!

[TN*JJ*]

Add Sharkie from UK to the list. I played an entire 18 round game with him yesterday and although it was back and forth throughout the game between us, at the 18th hole, I won by 1 stroke and he quit right before the time ran out during the countdown after we finished. I knew something was up because we were commenting to each other throughout the match and there was no comment at all from him after we finished the 18th hole....

All I have to say is I was really ticked off.....it takes awhile to play an 18 hole round and to have it taken away from you at the end really sucks!!! :(

Oh, and ditto to ghost's post about P-Large...I don't know how many times that player has quit during games that I've been in with him/her...
