@Sarge1387 flipping is so boring these days. I do it, because stubs, but I hate it.

Getting 90 diamonds are easier than ever from other areas than standard packs. In BR you only need 10 wins to get 87+ live card. The big one is those Vault packs that are in the shop and everyone gets at reaching Ranked 700. Many times they 90+ cards in them and you can choose two cards.

This is exactly the reason why SDS hates people doing it.

@Sarge1387 what can they do tho, remove the market? I'm sure the suits wish they could lol. The game gets closer and closer to pay to win every year. Well, not pay to win, but pay to have the best cards. Eventually it will be madden and I will move on to franchise.

You're not wrong. There's been a growing belief in the last couple iterations that SDS has bots that jump buy and sell bids in order to keep the profit margins as small as possible if not non existent.

I need like 8 teams to finish the collection. I'm in no rush. Babe and Pedro isn't really worth it. As for Raphy, I rather have 89 Votto at 1st, personally.
I've given Babe 5 chances in BR. He pitches ok, hate that fk'n 1920's windmill wind-up, but his swing is not that good. I've seen the top streamers complain about how awful he is.
Me personally, I'm hitting over .300 in BR with him, but May's is literally 10x better and more fun to use. Same with J Roll.
Babe is a liability in the field, he's slow, and not as desirable as other ppl in the past.SDS literally got nothing right in the direction they've decided to go this year with practically every fk'n executive decision they've made.
- Water down LS collection rewards
- Micro manage/control when ppl can get to the 99 rated cards
- Implement a ridiculous fk'n bs ritarded XP cap. Then (((TELL US))) THE MUTHA FLUCKING PEOPLE WHO BUY THEIR FK'N GAME TO,,,,,, WAIT FOR IT,,,,, WAIT FOR IT,,,, "In the most mocking childish sds impersonating voice: hey guys, experience isn't everything, why can't you just play the game for FUN! My facial and bodily response
️
My actual response, get these fools off the team. They are clueless and should be fired for their incompetence. - While choosing to cater to the offline casuals, they still couldn't get that right. The overall content/rewards, progression etc is lacking. There simply is not enough.
- The XP path is the ((((WORST)))) IT'S EVER BEEN! Deliberately putting the 99's at 1 mil xp, making us wait 2 months to unlock them for a week, and making literally every card except for 2-3 cards actually competitive should literally result in firing those responsible. YOU SUCK AT YOUR JOB, AND YOU ARE AN IDIOT. GO DEVELOP A CLUE BC YOU HAVE NO CLUE WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
- Let's see, what else. Hmm,, oh I know! Let's turn this game into a FK'N GAMBLING CASH GRAB!! Let'a put in 40k packs!! And water down the cards attributes! And purposely not let any of the good ones to be applied to the buxton/arenado boost! Also let's throw the team captains in the store at 25k! And only allow ppl to earn (((FK'N 4))) 4 OF THEM!!?? WAIT,, WHAAAAAT?!?! Funny thing is, I would have eventually bought Ashburn's weak kid cheeks card just to have fun with an all Phil's team. But then they removed the packs. I'm actually hoping they put the captains in the next TA for EVERYONE to get for FREE! These are not top meta cards except for maybe 4 cards, and that's only for right now.
Ok I'm done ranting. Time to go in events and hit 500 ft cockshots off ppl who at least try to compete.

@Shauwn this,
Except I am an offline player most of the time. I like earning the cards and then using them. I play mini seasons and watch YouTube at the same time, great way to unwind after work.
But oh no, we gotta nerf that too because people are exploiting it.The only thing I kind of like that they did this year was ranked seasons. I usually won't make world series but the program is nor impossible this year so I have played much more than in previous years. Also having a mid-season drop for content and having a repeatable mission makes it seem like i could finish it.
Other than that, pretty much everything else they fumbled on.
I did take the surveys last year and wanted 99s at launch to go away. However, no one and I mean NO ONE asked for an xp cap.
This is just a way for them to be lazy and release less stuff.
I wouldn't care about finishing the program with 50 days to go, because they have the repeat stuff at the end. But now, no one is going to get there because of this gatekeeping BS. -

I wouldn't care about finishing the program with 50 days to go, because they have the repeat stuff at the end.- As I've said before, there is nothing, and I repeat NOTHING wrong with how people choose to play. I grind all the offline stuff, too! I enjoy earning stuff like everyone else! Saying anything about offline gamers would make me a hypocrite bc I grind it all as well. And you're right, there's nothing wrong with laying in your bed watching TV, eating a scooby doo sammich while casually grinding. I do it too!
- I also enjoy the ranked progression path! Ppl think I'm against it, but I'm really not! Why would I be against earning packs, stubs, xp, and cards just for playing? Lol. I actually enjoy it! But, I'd also like to see more rewards for those who reach WS. If I don't get to WS one month, it doesn't mean I won't wanna see who I could buy. If they are 200-300k, then so be it! I'll save up to buy and try them out!
- As someone who enjoyed all the 99's early, I will admit it was excessive and too much too soon! It didn't mean I preferred the decision they made. Limit the 99's to a small handful throughout the season. But don't make it impossible for us to get 3 until the season is practically over! Smfh! Dumb dumb idiotic decision!
- No need to comment on the xp cap. Everyone knows where I stand. I will speak up and as a loyal customer who supported and purchased this game since 2008 when I was a kid, I have a right to voice my opinion without others bashing or ridiculing my words! (((THE DAILY XP CAP IS THE WORST DECISION THIS COMPANY HAS EVER MADE, PERIOD!))) That's my opinion and I'm entitled to give it whether ppl agree or not!
- Exactly! Finishing the program early still means you can spin that wheel like last yr in hopes of getting some nice rewards. GL getting to the wheel this yr! If u do, it will likely be once, unless SDS wakes up and gives us much more xp opportunities!
In conclusion, I don't believe SDS purposely tried to be lazy by not releasing more stuff. I believe the team literally figured the content currently in game was actually enough.
They were WRONG! -

I also don't think they truly know what an exploit is...to me gaining the XP from running through MS multiple times is just, and I'm spitballing here(no pun intended), playing the F***in' game! We wouldn't have to do that if they didn't slash gameplay XP in half for no reason. I also did those surveys, and I don't remember asking for a cap or halved xp payouts...in fact I asked for more sellable rewards and higher XP like 4x the xp weekends or something.

The XP cap specifically screws players like me. I can’t play every single day. But on days I can play, I can grind for a while. The last 2 Saturdays, I hit my XP cap well before I was done playing. I’ve maxed out both events this far, maxed out ranked reward path, maxed out all other programs, and maxed out TA. Yet, I just got to Soriano on Sunday evening. There should be a max XP that you can be at each day, instead of capping how much you can get in a day. For example, the game has been out for around 18 days. If they allow 35k XP per day, the cap right now should be 630k. If I’m at 500k XP, they shouldn’t cap me at 35k XP today, they should let me earn XP until I get up to the 630k XP cap. Then tomorrow we can get up to 665k, and so forth.

Yeah … another thread about the whining xp-cap-players who only play the game to earn xp
But btt, I think this thread is about market (at least the thread title sounds like that)… Trout is higher because he fits the buxton-team and has more value being a position player
-
There are four cards over 100k on the market right now. Ohtani, Betts, Acuna, and Trout. Trout is the American League gate keeper.

The XP cap was put in to control when SDS will let us get to the 99 rated cards.
If this cap must be in game, just set the cap at 999,999 and allow us to grind until right before you let us get to the 99's. There, problem Fk'n solved!
The xp cap was implemented in the dumbest way imaginable. Their clown idiot sandwich response, "there are other ways to earn xp. Just play to have fun guys!"
This team are full of idiots who were either never picked first in pick up sports game, or always picked last. This entire system is set up for those kinds of gamers.

I have your answer. When I pulled Othani it was sell now at 230K. In the two days that I spent with family in the hospital the cost when down to 180k.
So the answer is if I pull a card it will tank lol
