20 Card Max

The market is healthy!@lord-oimak_mlbts the market is healthy!

@Lord-Oimak_MLBTS too bad overall it’s way more than 5. Also IGN the goats for the review on the show. Only gets a 6 and they talk about how the 20 card cap is bad
-
Here is IGN’s take on the changes, maybe the five guys who shout everyone down on this board can go over there and try to shout down IGN, “But what's changed, and not for the better, is a quietly introduced 20-card ownership limit that wasn't disclosed before launch. If you relied on card flipping and roster-update investing as part of the free-to-play grind — one of the most accessible paths to building a competitive team without spending — this directly undermines your strategy. The lack of transparency around it is a bad look, and it's hard not to read it as a nudge toward spending real money.”
But remember the thousands of hours I played this game in the past weren’t enough and that the market is healthy!

IGN reviews.....from multiple sources:
"IGN reviews have been criticized for being influenced by marketing and click farming, leading to a lack of depth in their reviews. Some users feel that the scores given are not always reflective of the actual gameplay experience."
"IGN's content has been described as click-driven, prioritizing traffic over clarity, which can lead to misleading or exaggerated headlines."
"IGN's trust rating is low, indicating that its testing practices could benefit from enhanced transparency and methodological consistency."
"A former IGN employee has admitted to the publication of VGChartz that review scores are skewed due to public relations and the influence of the dollar."

So trashing a move by SDS, the producers of the only mlb baseball game on the market was influenced by who’s dollar, cui bono?

@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN ad hominem logic?

@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN Google AI slop isn’t a source 🤮

@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN tell me you didn’t watch the review without telling me you didn’t watch the review. Not all of them are good but the one they did on the show actually was

Funny how that works, not just in this forum or even this game. It is fairly common across gaming.
"IGN is awful and you should never believe them, unless they agree with my take and then I will link them and hold them high as a guiding light for all to see."

@Dolenz_PSN they have a lot of bad reviews but this one was actually good. If you don’t agree with it let me know what part about it was wrong in the review
-
Yeah tbh i don’t like the 20 card limit cause if u know ball and don’t just play the video game u will know who to buy into and i liked that as a huge baseball fan but flipping is smt i never got the just of and now its the only way to make coins

@Onix_Savage22_PSN facts bro it made the fantasy part fun

You just proved his point.
"They have a lot of bad reviews that i dont agree because they're negative views of games i like with but i did agree with this one, and im not happy with this game, so its accurate."

Seriously though, outside of blocking people from buying 100s of players, why is this a good idea... You cant say marketplace health, the people who invest are the ones who put all the stubs into the market later in the game. You cant say bots, people can still do what they want to with just multiple cards... How does this help the game... and why not say anything about it?
-
@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN You can not quicksell WBC mini season uniforms OR the ones from uniform packs given in the TA paths for each team. I've tried and it tells me I can not.
-
So considering sds finally responded and given the message they seem receptive. What I’m hoping for is an increase to 100. This won’t greatly affect the market and makes investing/fantasy aspect of the game fun. Going from no cap ever to 20 was way too extreme with no notice. Increase it to 100 and let’s be done with this
-
@RealMessiah_XBL you could up to a few hours ago. It was a glitch in the app.
-
This is the worst change ever!! Making it so that you just need to spend money on stubs or else you’ll never complete any collection. Favoring YouTubers is just a bad decision, one that has ruined madden ultimate team.
I don't invest and I don't spend money. Yet I've always managed to have live series collection done before the all-star break
-
@Rhyno1986_XBL not everyone is the same, some people don’t have the time to grind or have the ability to win at high ranks to earn good rewards. Investing give those players another way to enjoy the game and earn the good cards.

Putting stubs into a market is usually not good, you want stubs to come OUT of the market to theoretically keep prices down.
However, this year we are getting more packs which will drive inflation. Also if they handle the deluxe packs like last year and start giving them out like candy that will cause inflation too.
But investors probably do cause some inflation in the first couple updates, which does hurt people who dont utilize the market (those who quick sell/sell now everything).
This move is realistically more because its free, unlimited stubs for little effort. And people are making money off telling people who to invest (although its out there for free too....). Companies tend not to like that sort of thing. At the end of the day I don't care how people earn their stubs, but I do feel that online play > offline grinding > activities outside of game should be the order of stubs per time spent.
One of the most visible investors has said he estimates 300k stubs per update under the 20 cap, which is still a lot for not playing (although you need an initial bankroll). So its not like investing is remotely dead, and flipping is still alive and well. This move isnt cutting off investing and flipping, its just keeping it in check a little.
Its tough for me to have sympathy for the investing community. They can still make a lot of stubs investing, just not what they had in the past. However, a few of them have taken to misinformation to manipulate people, and thats never acceptable.
