Fix the cheaterboards/leaderboards
in progress
Lisa Wallace
Actually review and remove the cheats when they are reported by users. Having a report button is useless if you never follow up or follow through on removing the cheaters. So many leaderboards where people don't follow the rules or find some other way to cheat to get a high score. Seems a lot of the cheats are the same people over and over, maybe you could also lock players accounts or ban them from appearing on the leaderboards if they are caught cheating more than 3 times or something like that. The lack of fairness really takes the fun out of the app.

Hi all, we've made more updates in version 3.17 to remove cheating in some ball handling drills, in particular:
- Now a player cannot knee down to "cheat" mid-dribble in drills like 300 left/right/combo, 600 combo, etc
- We won't double count score for two balls on drills that's meant to use one ball, e.g. Dribble Math.
We will continue to work on cleaning up more cheating, next round would be on some shooting drills.

Hi all, we started an other round of effort to address this and had made some improvement in version 3.16. e.g. Made all workout tracker leaderboards to accumulated leaderboard rather than per session, users at the top are now really those who put in the right effort. We've also clean up cheating sessions on "Lateral Movement" and "Agility Hurdle". We will continue to make improvements in the next couple release and keep everyone posted, please don't hesitate to report cheating behavior in-app or here.

A way that people wouldn't be able to cheat in shooting or dribble contests.

I notice when people are doing your dribbling and shooting contests they tend to find a way to cheat there way to success, and high scores. Like so: Makeing the app think that they are at the free throw line when they are really just under the hoop. Or in dribble workouts people are going super close to the camera and touching the dots without any shuffle movement. I understand that this is only hurting them but, I think there needs to be a more accurate way to do it.

Monitor the leaderboard more

People are trying to find a way to cheat on the leaderboard and even though we sometimes request to kick someone out of the leaderboard sometimes you won’t responded to it please don’t let the people do the drill anymore if they keep cheating to get on the leaderboard.

Lisa Wallace Thanks for reaching out. We take the leaderboard seriously and continue to monitor them. We are starting to crack down more on repeat offenders and will also look into banning them from that activity. Please let us know if you have any other questions or comments regarding HomeCourt that we can help with.

Likewise stop removing legitimate scores. Twice now I’ve set the record on the pull-up master and twice my scores been removed. I reached and and told you about it. I even gave to date and time I set the record but nothing ever happened.

I agree, my son always checks out the top of the leaderboards and hates when sees the top people cheated to get there.

Cheating-Grade System-2K Type Badges
J
Joel Demirkiran
I think you should have some kind of anti-cheat software, i don't exactly know how you would do that but it takes a lot away from the app when i see the leader cheating. I believe the grade system is a bit too harsh, stats should be similar to 2K players. And also a partnership with 2K to get badges like limitless range etc. would be dope

How is the grading system harsh?

The Movie Detective: for example i havent seen anybody have a 90 three pointer only agility and ball handling have 99s the other categories are lower compared to them
