SDS Didn’t have to…

Not on gamepass. Less people playing. Less people flipping
-
It's almost like they want people to actually play the game to get rewards, instead of manipulating the market.

I think a big part of it is just that there are way fewer cards available right now. No players on GamePass this year, likely way fewer boxes being purchased, and I think there might be more interest in keeping cards to complete collections towards a few really good reward cards like Beltran. I’ve spent a little bit, but I’m spending way way less than any previous year. Luckily I pulled Trout and few other diamonds from early packs. Unless I pull Ohtani that way, it’ll be a long time before I complete collections.

Close!
They want people to purchase stubs. The less effective flipping is, the more likely it is that people will buy stubs.

Bingo

It’s a culmination of things. It’s always slow this early. Less people playing because of no old gen and not on game pass. Detaching RTTS from DD tanked equipment flipping. Adding purchasable equipment packs made it even worse. There are less packs to be had this year in general. People were grinding mini seasons for packs last year which were heavily nerfed this year. There’s no exchange option in TA or any program for progress, so there’s no demand for players outside of collections. I’m old enough to remember daily exchanges for xp. They are doing everything they can to crush flipping. Margins are razor thin and it really puts a damper on progress. If the market doesn’t pick up, a lot of people are going to be gone early this year.
Last year equipment flipping funded my collection completion in 10 days and another couple million after that.
People really underestimate how many play RTTS.
Game not being on old gen or gamepass coupled with no exchanges, like you mentioned, and limited packs throw at us from TA is really creating these super thin margins.
-
The TA pack thing is also real. Design decisions were made to nerf flipping in order to increase stub purchases.
-
The one thing that killed my stub income was there decision to get rid of the Event Rewards that ya could sell in the past. That was my one surefire way to make stubs , now gone bye bye
-
It's the very beginning of the game. margins will widen soon. it's definitely not the year to try to get the LS collection done immediately, by flipping. buuut, there's more than one way to make stubbs. so adjust, be patient, be opportunistic, the bank will grow and everyone that wants to, will be able to complete LS soon enough.

Didn't they also say that you could exchange golds for diamonds at some point too?
-
Dude how? I had it hour one of day one of early access and they were already through the roof...same with the Rockies, Whitesox, Twins, Nationals, Rays
-
@Sarge1387_PSN They didn’t say it, but a video or stream showed a diamond exchange pack, so that’s why people expected it. Not only do they not have it, they made the vast majority of golds 80’s making sure the silver to gold exchange wasn’t as good as years past.
-
This 100%
The game just seems kinda dry to me now since they’ve done away with events having exclusive rewards attached to them
-
@Victor_SDS_MLBTS whatever happened to this?

The Red Sox were a bit more expensive than other teams but not as crazy as they are now.

So, can I ask a legit question?
Is it common for people to tag Devs and just expect an answer from them?
Maybe it’s just me, and because I’m getting old, but I find the comments where people tag the devs really rude.
Or, is that like the expectation around here as given by the devs themselves?

These guys never reply even when the community was nice to them. They got the communication skills of a monk

As someone who has made a killing in flipping over the past few years, this year has been awful so far. Sure it’s just the first week of the game. But the market wasn’t this bad last year at this time.
No exchanges for team affinity is definitely part of the problem. Less people on the game. A lot of things contribute to it. But even worse is the people that have no idea how to flip cards to begin with.
I’ve seen multiple times now of people trying to flip cards with literally no profit at all. I’m baffled by it. I don’t think some people understand how the tax works in this game. Even flipping cards for 1 stub per is wild to me.
I’m no one to tell people how to play the game that they spend their money on. Just trying to understand the logic behind it.
