Flipping
-
Flipping is extremely difficult. Flipping kept me engaged while on the move. Any tips do this year? It’s almost impossible.
-
No margins, good luck!
-
Bots have ate up a lot of margins.
-
Bots are out of control. As soon as you put an order in, it immediately gets outbid by 1. It's impossible to try and flip with any good outcome. It just becomes frustrating and I end up giving up after a few minutes. This game is cooked. So many issues the dev team just can't get under control.
-
Lots of inflated prices again too, which isn’t helping. Even the low diamonds are through the roof right now.
-
Making stubs is not what it once was. A week after release the past few years everyone has a team of diamonds. We haven't even played a week of real baseball and there are already plenty of 90s diamonds. Most golds barely sell for more than there sell now price. I get it, most games today are about microtransactions but this game has reached a point where a week in to release you can have half the collections complete and 90% of your inventory will never be used.

Thanks for all the responses. What are you doing to make stubs w/o spending money?

In the past I've always been super helpful for flipping tips. This year, unfortunately I'm not willing to share. Margins are razor thin as is so I gotta protect what's possible for the time being.
Normally id have the collection done with about 500-700K surplus. Right now, im just shy of 1.4M. It's bad out there and the bots have made it much worse.

Bots are annoying but I enjoy messing with them to get them to either list their cards too cheap or make their buy orders too high when I can

They've destroyed the flipping/investment market. they want you to grind or buy.

@jluv0423_MLBTS All I've been doing is selling any duplicates that I pull. Been able to finish 12 of the live series collections so far, it has helped that I've pulled two of the over 50K but under 100K gate keepers and a few of the 30K live series diamonds.

Can’t flip effectively with the app not working anyway

Its alot harder this year. In years past you could just put in 200 buy orders for joe blow 76 overall and sell them all for 30 stub profit each. You wouod do that 5000 times for 150,000 stubs.
You basically do the same thing now but you have to do it 20 at a time.
The good news is you dont get stuck behind some bitter guy capping a card low woth 200 orders anymore.

Stubs are easier to come by this year by playing the game than recent years for sure.
Margins being like this happened last year's launch as well, and each year more and more people hop on to the alternative stub making methods (its not just the bots)
While I don't flip, I can easily see how its done in a market like this. People are fixating on the no risk, stub printing type of flipping as opposed to actually playing the market.

Ive finished the live series. Other guys wont tell you what they flipped because they don't want more people doing it, or worse sds removing it next year, but idc I wont buy this game next year. And if I do ill wait a month when they are just giving out cards for playing.
I flipped a ton of uniforms, stadiums, gold sounds, and bronze players. Set your companion app for max overall of 74 and minimum buy now at 100. Go through and buy 20 of every player early in the morning and sell them all that evening. Do the same with uniforms.
I also had crazy pack luck.

but idc I wont buy this game bect year.
Yes, we all believe you
-
@Teak2112_MLBTS haha yeah, it is for sure easier said than done. Ive loved this game for so long.

@jluv0423_MLBTS
Play mini seasons. The WBC mini season is especially good because its the shortest and you get 10 show packs and a ballin every time you win, and after every 5 runs you can exchange the championship icons for more ballins. You can also make a lot of TA progress doing this -
I flip by beating the bots at their own game. I show how its done on my twitch stream.

@jluv0423_MLBTS it’s been made virtually impossible this year unless u wanna play a ungodly amount of wbc mini seasons and even that all narrows down to pack luck i luckily have had good pack luck and have played a bunch of mini seasons tho
