    Really? 1000 people weren't willing to buy my batting tape for 111 in one day?

    There isn’t 1 person in this game that needs that tape…

    Let's go off last year's sales of around 2.5 million hard copies, and that is just hard copy numbers, not digital downloads on both platforms. That would mean that if only 10% percent of people were online at any given time, that there would be 250k people playing the game at once. And possibly playing the market as well, while they play. That's a lot of people.

    Let's assume, and I think it's a fair assumption, that those numbers have at least doubled with cross platform play. That would mean around 500k, at 10 % are online either playing or playing the market. Add into those numbers the playstation and xbox numbers for digital downloads and then add in the game coming to xbox, well, the numbers could be huge at any given time, especially when you factor in that it is a gamepass release.

    I think you have underestimated the sheer number of people using the market to begin with.

    If someone can come up with some actual numbers or proof or market manipulation or RNG I will gladly admit I was wrong and apologize to everyone I called crazy. Considering there has never been anything remotely close to evidence proving either I stand by calling it a crazy conspiracy theory.

    MAYBE a conspiracy theory, but def not some crazy thought beyond belief. Remember this is a business first before anything, and to think they would not do anything in their power that is untraceable to the consumer to maximize profits you would have to be living under a rock.

    A peep? No. A tree crashing is more of a thud. Does anyone hear? Sure if they are within earshot. Did this post make me think? Not really.

    I dont put anything past someone with money symbols in their eyes but I don't really think they are manipulating the prices on bronzes/silvers to try and get people to buy stubs.

    Bronzes and silvers, MAYBE not, but they do manipulate aspects of the game on certain 'schedules'...like diamond upgrades

    I dont know if I'd call it manipulation but they definitely have a bias as far as upgrades go. Yankees, Dodgers, Padres tend to have to do less to get upgrades while guys like Alex Reyes and a bunch of other players deserving of upgrades take forever to get updated. Zack Wheeler took longer than he should've to go diamond, Trevor Rogers took forever to go gold etc.

    I don't want to go over 5 million this weekend .... I need to stash about 1 million into Mike Trout Cards at 250k tonight like George Jung in the movie Blow.

    0-0 Ranked record and every WR and BR card x2

    When it comes to other things "SDS is dumb and can do nothing right!" But they have an advanced bot system buying and selling cards on the marketplace for some unknown reason. What? To make you pay a couple hundred stubs more for a bat? lol
