I mean, if I had the ability to alter the opposition's batting order during a game, why wouldn't I just put in all their poor batsmen high up? And mess them around? It just lets me cheat.

Wouldn't that just be an issue for the designers to improve the game AI? Again, an editor seems completely superfluous to me...

Some people rant about this, others try to find their own way to fix it. The tool for doing so is an editor.

As ruby23 said, I think you're really missing the point of an editor. As I mentioned to you previously when you mentioned using an editor to cheat:
I think the objective is almost always to improve the longevity of the game and/or to (in the user's opinion) improve realism.

Personally not knowing how good anyone is or is going to be keep the game interesting and I have no desire for an editor, I get what some of you guys are saying and each to their own. However an editor would ruin the online game as people would cheat to have an unbeatable team by either creating amazing players or it will give them a huge advantage by just knowing how good all the players are.

I can see that you enjoy unknown regens making records, which is your way of enjoying the game. Others may prefer more realistic scenarios with players.

It's crazy to keep a track of thousand of posts with contrasting opinions for the Developers. Some say a particular player is better, others say no. And obviously the editor cannot be used to play in the online mode, it's only usable in the easy mode.

Yep, I get that but even if the game isn't playable online you will still be able to look on the editor to see how good all the players are. Then you could create a game in normal mode and sign the players you know are best. I'm not saying you personally will but some will.

True, but most of us wanting editors is purely to enhance the realism, not destroy it. There are so many easier ways to cheat I'm led to believe. I for one want to see more realistic challenges between players as the years progress. Which means I may feel Cummins & Kohli may be the same or get better by 33, but the game sort of links their ability to age, so their performance deteriorates by default. And also, most Under 19 player records are based on a handful of FC matches, but several coaches can identify talent irrespective of a few failures.
the thing is you want a realistic challenge but at the same time want it in easy mode so then it’s not realistic anyway?

If you're cheating at a single player game then you need to take a long, long hard look at yourself and make some efforts to get a life.
As far as multiplayer is concerned it would be very easy for the devs to code a block on edited databases from being loadable. Mind you same advice as above holds true for this as well.

I know most people are which is why it’s a hard call to make. I’m not sure of other ways to cheat in online mode. Offline mode you can obviously keep crashing the game on purpose.

Like you said, if anyone wants to cheat in Single player mode, there are multiple of ways to do it. Why would someone waste their money to cheat in single player mode anyway? I personally want the editor to control newgens so that they don't replace real life players and also it's tough to judge young players with limited domestic matches unless you deeply follow them , so some players with high potential gets lower rating in cricket captain games, so as a gamer it feels unrealistic when those real life young players gets dominated by newgens.
Again, if anyone cheats in single player mode using the editor then it’s their own problem, why will others pay for it who only want the editor to add more realism?
