The league is corrupt from top to bottom, i left and will never return as i saw with my own eyes how many people were Hex editing, changing files etc etc..
Until someone takes a grip with the cheaters then this league will be like Athletics...You win a race but people are always suspecting you.
There are trainers in the league at present with Hex editors on there system,
you know who you are!!
The cheaters have friends in high places, work that one out for yourself...
Please don't slate me for telling the TRUTH,it's just sad the way this league has gone downhill over the years.

Please elaborate Colin.......Its rather unfair to pop up after over a year and basically accuse some people of cheating, by your statement you also suggest you know who they are.
This is bound to cause trouble which may be unfounded.

Wow, just had to look that up on Wikipedia and who in their right mind would do that, just to win a race in an online league?? Kind of makes me a bit more proud that I've had group 1 winners in the league after since SO2 all I've done is played one or two games and just uploaded the best horses I've come across. Then again all this talk will bring the league down, if these people do cheat, so what... let them play, makes seeing your horse finish first knowing you've done it out of purely doing it for fun that much more sweet, why don't we let them help run the league if it is so corrupt, at least they'll know who else is corrupt so they can walk off into the sunset hand in hand while the people who put the time that they can put in around a normal working and social life can enjoy the great game for what it is and enjoy winning, losing, taking part, breaking records. To be frankly honest it's all a bit much for an online game, People who boost in Call Of Duty always get shot in the end, People who cut back in FIFA are always beaten and people who have to use a computer system to make there horses better will still get beaten now and again on here so why do it, it's not fun, certainly not clever and ruins the fun for everyone else. Rant over

Yes there is a massive conspiracy and I am covering it all up.

Don't tell anyone.

Nick, you have received the alloted number of G1 wins to keep you interested but ultimately all your attempts will be futile. The Company/Brotherhood/Fraternity/Alliance/Cognoscenti always wins.

Can I please join the brotherhood you two hat........HEXXING sounds kinda fun.

If it's anything like other programming then I can assure you it is boring as hell.

If it helps me get a poppo in the first 3 it will be worth it.

all well joking about it but is it detectable/possible ive put in over 150 seasons and would hate to think my wife nearly divorced me and i still have no chance of winning.

Thats why I did not play the game for this season, of course it goes on. I'm not saying Rich is involved but if your honest Rich you can not honestly say that some file swapping/tampering goes on every seasson, FACT.
Its just one of those things we have to live with.

Is hex editing possible? Yes. Is it detectable? Very much so. Hex editing does not enable you to improve the performance of your horse, it means you can upload it twice under a different name. This is very easy to spot.

The hardest cheating to spot is the stuff the game allows you to actually do. The swapping of game files and the trialling of horses outside of the league isn't forbidden but you cannot compete with horses from someone else's game.

Can inter breeding be spotted??

I personally feel that is cheating in the highest form, 2 or more people getting horses together to improve their bloodlines.

Yes it can be spotted. I agree.

Just a suggestion, I'll probably get shot with shit for it but I feel most people would feel better if some set guidelines were in place to punish cheats for next season, as soon as anyone is found to be guilty of any kind of hexing, interbreeding etc it should be made known to every trainer in the league and what punishment is to be/was given, hopefully that will stop everyone worrying that its going on unpunished.

How do you think my horses are so good in one season!


I think Rich will deal with if and when. We shouldn't worry ourselves too much.

I'm not keith, I've seen it going on for the last 4 seasons, but the new trainers are starting to worry which will only discourage them from putting the hours in next season. It needs to be made as transparent as it possibly can be.
