Market is needed
-
So if all these collections are gonna require us to have to buy the vast majority of the cards off the market to complete, how about we be able to at least do that? I been trying to buy so many different cards the last hour and have only been successful about 5% of the time/ Dont you want to take my stubs? Please kill the bots!!

I second this and again I am in favor of shutting down the app. If it helps so be it.
The bots have got to go, I got into a pattern trying to get LS Marte last night. I would put 65k down and the bots would be all over it, went up to 67 and the bots followed, went back down and instead of waiting for it's order to go through the bot undercut me by 1 stub again..... I ended up putting a order of 68k in.... he was selling for 71k, the bots are out of control.
I HATE them.

@samguenther1987_PSN Gone are the days of putting in an order and going to play a game and come back and check if you need to repost or not. You instantly get beat out lol. And I noticed some of them seem to be on like a 7-10 sec timer before it does it, but its gonna happen.

SDS probably put the bots in on purpose so you give up trying to get cards at lowest price and just hit buy now.

But what purpose does that serve? Most margins are already at buy level so it's just frustrating. Unless SDS is actually trying to cut ways of making stubs which feels very wrong to me. I know it's turning into a buy stubs game though.
This is probably my last year

It’s ridiculous right now, just trying to get cards for collections takes hours right now. I’m working on Spotlight for Chipper and every single one has at least 3-4 bots on them that make it so you have to put in a price that is just over the profit margin between buy/sell.
I spend zero time flipping cards, I just want to be able to pay the fair market value for the cards. Right now, it’s a manipulated market that is slowly eating up stubs and causing major inflation.
I agree with the opinion that they just need to finally dump the online marketplace/app and make it entirely on the console. If you want to flip, there’s still a way to do it offline and I’m sure bots will still use that method, but it’ll slow it down since they’ll need to use a capture card solution, plus they won’t be able to play on console and auto flip at the same time.
Something needs to change, it’s way out of control this year, never been this bad.

Tried this earlier, thinking ppl would liquidate to get the new stuff and the spotlight and cityscapes would be cheaper. They were, but I managed 1 of the 3 CS I went for and 2 of the 5 spotlight.
It's ridiculous. -
Been trying to get Edwards now for over 2 hours, should’ve just paid the buy now price and saved myself the headache. I don’t think SDS is using their own bots, but also thinking they aren’t that concerned since it’s causing higher stubs to be used.

@samguenther1987_PSN SDS, please listen to your customer feedback and shut down the app. It's just pure cheating.

It feels pointless to join in here and say how out of control the bots are in the market place. The silence from sds on the issue is such a slap in the face. I saw one response in this forum shortly after 26 came out to set the record straight from a sds account that using a bot breaks tos. Besides that I’ve seen no responses to the countless people taking the time to say something online about it. You’d have to think they would assume all the people speaking up are just a tiny fraction of the people upset over this. It’s super clear they do not consider it a problem - for them. Shutting down the app is a bad idea and wouldn’t make any difference for the bots. They are all running on computers and don’t even need the game or app to be active. Just a script scanning the api and reacting faster than any human could. If real monitoring was going on, bot behavior could be identified and banned minutes after being active. I mean, even if they had someone’s whose job was to pop in the marketplace for 10 minutes a day they would be able to identify bots all over the place. Everyday there’s new bot behavior and there will continue to be because anyone that is capable of making something like that sees that they have the green light. It really sucks they allow it. Make a limit of times an offer can be put in on a card in a certain time period or block accounts making offers on the same card instantly after offers come in like clockwork. If 50 offers are put in and 1 account instantly puts in a higher offer - duh, bot. Cheating is out of control and will continue as long as there is silence from sds. This, along with all the other broken things going on is making it more difficult every day to be such a huge fan of the game. My attitude towards the game is starting to shift and it’s sad. I’m not even trying the marketplace today and feel like I don’t even care about these new cards - of players that already have 2-3 cards in 26. What in the… there’s so many players that could be used. Nobody needs 3 cards of the same player all with whack stats. When stats are higher I could see releasing a higher stat version of a player already in the game but this is so dumb. Basically repackaging jolt series with slightly higher stats and killing the reason to do team affinity. Anyways, I wish I was playing the game now but I’m so fed up with it I haven’t turned it on today and ranting here instead. Which is also stupid and pointless.

I agree, but I am not a SDS employee, I wish I could do something
