Someone HACKING the leaderboard | Forums

I noticed someone who pulled ahead of me today.. dwarfer2008

That's not really a big deal, but I was suprised that I didn't even see him within 10 spots of me, then suddenly it appeared he had burnt 3000 calories more than me. I took a screen grab of the leaderboard just to show a friend where my girlfriend and I were in the all of Canada leaderboard.

I still didn't really think that much of it, but then after I did my workout today I went to see where we were at in comparison to the other players and noticed that dwarfer2008 went from 31351 calories burnt this morning, to 50035 calories burnt this evening. This is blatantly impossible no?

Impossible - yes.

Unfortunately, there are "techniques" out there that can fool the game into thinking the exercises are being done and obviously entering a false weight in the user info will make the game think even more calories are being burned..

I think Ubisoft should put a bit of simple code in that if it detects ridiculous amounts of impossible activity, takes a snapshot with the Kinect camera and then posts it with the user's gamer tag. Could sarcastically congratulate them too, just to rub it in. They must look quite pathetic actually, if you see how they cheat the game.

every thing has a price tag, even spots on leader boards, if you know a friend that knows a friend that runs a leader board server, then anything is possible

How about if they'd been exercising off line for a few weeks and just happened to come online that day....... their leaderboard entry after they'd been online would reflect the several weeks of exercise that was legitimately done, yes?

If you look at dwarfer2008's profile at http://www.trueachievements.com, you can see, that he got the achievements for 50000, 100000 and 150000 calories on three consecutive days (August 10, 11 and 12).

So I think, there are quite effective cheats around, and Ubisoft should do something. At least they should remove the cheaters from the leaderboards.
