SDS Turning Into 2K Money Grabbers
-
@The_Joneser_PSN yeah eh? Played on the servers that aren’t working today, did you?
I bet you did, champ. I bet you did.
-
@xero4019_XBL, seem to be working just fine out here. Just finished my first Ranked game of the day...
I hope youre enjoying your day as much as I am.

@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN The prices of high diamonds this early into the year has greatly risen from the start of last years game. Shohei was going for about 300k at this time last year, he is now over 600k and judge is 400k. The prices have risen from last year and you are oblivious to that.
Judge was already over 400K this time last year and Ohtani was close to 700K. I had actual text conversations with friend about this [censored] last year because at one point in early April, i needed over 2 million stubs for Judge, Ohtani, Ramirez, Witt and Trout ffs.
-
@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN this is a flat out lie. Ohtani was under 400k. He didn’t hit 500k until after the first roster update.
Just found it. April 17th the LS collection was 2.2 mil, so 350k less than it is right now. The entire Dodgers team was around the price of Ohtani alone right now.

@jisaksen2422_PSN, I tell you, it's tough sometimes; there are days I look at my 401K statement, and a little worry creeps in... am I still on track to hang it all up in 13 years? I think, man, if I could just pick up 1,000 bronze cards and strike gold with them... I'd have peace, security, and Ohtani.
But now what do I do?
This whole investing thing's really got me down... and I'm not just thinking of myself. I mean, think of all the people out there who will now never know the pure joy of 450 commons turning silver, and will never get to fully appreciate the life-changing possibilities that once came with every roster update. It really affects the entire benevolent investor class, who selflessly work to keep costs down for everyone who looks up to them, cheering them on, knowing in their hearts that the investors are really doing it for them.
But, hey... we just try to go on.
I hope you find your way through these terrible, terrible times.
Cheers, man.

I’m laughing out loud as I read this. My 3 wonderful children and I are enjoying a nice day today at a festival. I popped on really quick while we’re sitting down, to read your claim of not owning the game.
You’re obviously being dishonest but it makes your victimhood rants even better.
Again, thank you. Love your posts.
-
“ Cheers, man.”
Stop being a part of the problem, sir. How are you even able to enjoy a beverage when the Stub Kingdom is on the verge of total collapse?
I thought you were better than this.

Stub Kingdom??? Total collapse??? Being dramatic. I hardly believe it will collapse. The market feels very healthy IMHO.

@jisaksen2422_PSN you’re right, I did lie. I actually haven’t bought it since ‘17. I played it on game pass until they pulled it.
I dunno what the obsession is with shoehorning your wife and kids into the conversation though. Weird gimmick to have, very Facebook-ish of you.
-
Be nice, my Stub Hedge Fund empire is the only full time unpaid job I can get in this economy.
-
You’re right, I need to stop posting and spend every second possible with my family.
If SDS doesn’t fix this stub issue immediately this might be our last few days on earth. Thank you for reminding me of the important things yet again.
-
You have zero idea how an economy works but keep going.

Now that, especially with the cost of gas continously increasing, I can agree with you on.
-
@xero4019_XBL Yeah, you definitely don’t play the game. I believe you. People that haven’t played in 3 years or since 2017 spend time ranting about how bad it is. Completely normal and honest behavior.
-
@jisaksen2422_PSN you’re just one of those people who think anyone with a different opinion is wrong. It’s sad and embarrassing.
I get it. You love the game, so it must be flawless. It’s weird you’re unable to critique things, or understand why other people do. All the top content creators are calling it out for being a completely broken mess, but jisaksen2422 loves it so everyone must be wrong eh?
I played the market as well as going through the grind. You must have been just seething at the fact some people could buy whatever card they wanted, and I’m sorry that hurt you so bad. I don’t know if you were just not smart enough to realize you could do it, or too lazy to put in buy orders… whatever. Investing is gone, it is what it is. That’s honestly the least of the problems with the game these days.
Watching you slobber over an objectively broken game though. Jesus man.
But again, you’ll just say it’s great and you play it next to your wife, and the sun shines, and everyone else is wrong and dumb. Going around in circles because you’re blissfully ignorant. So I dunno man… have fun I guess. You and the three other guys celebrating like you won a war can play co-op together lmao…
Make your reply that you’re laughing so you get the last word in. I know it’s of great importance to you.
-
Wait, was it 2017 or 2023 you stopped playing? Maybe 2014?
I’ll never forget when I stopped playing NBA JAM in ‘03. I’ve been raging on that message board every day since.
Can’t believe they kept saying “boom shakalaja” that really bugged me.
-
The diamonds are not cheaper. They’re MORE expensive. It’s the common-gold cards that are all sitting at quicksell.
The cards you buy because they’re rare and you can’t rip enough packs to pull them? UP.
The cards you sell because you get them all the time? DOWN.
Thats what they did to this game.

@jisaksen2422_PSN look. You obviously work for SDS and will defend anything they do. Or else you’re just oppositional defiant. We heard your opinion. You think it’s fine that the cards you rip in packs have no value and you want to stop anyone who disagrees with you from speaking by being obnoxious and disrupting the discussion. It won’t work. They’re ruining this game FOR YOU too, you just don’t understand it yet. Just move on. Reddit bans these sorts of discussions, because they hate anything non-conformist like investing in a trading card game. Everyone must play the same way and enjoy the same things. Thats their happy place. Group security. Individualism scares them. Maybe you’d be more comfortable there where you aren’t feeling compelled to disrupt constantly when investors who got bait and switched air their grievances.

Play the game however you want, have whatever opinion you want. It does not affect my life either way.
I don’t work for SDS and I wish someone else had the MLB license, even better I wish 2 or 3 companies did - competition would make all the games better.
However, I’m allowed to reply to posts. Especially when I find them funny - and these posts are really funny to me.
Carry on.
