How is the Community Market feeling?
-
It honestly feels as bad if not worse than it’s been all year. You put in any buy or sell without sometimes being undercut by like 5 separate bots
-
Howdy,
I am sorry to hear this. I have just updated the strategy, Please keep me updated on any improvements/issues.
-
@Manu__SDS_MLBTS how about you do something about me being restricted now because I am having try buy and sell at large volume of silver and bronze cards to make any profit, while these bots are worse than ever? Y’all clearly have flags on something wrong and are restricting all the legit people while bots roam free.
-
Why is my account restricted again? Trying to buy and sell common cards, manually, and I get hit. This is intolerable. Fix it.
-
Your account is not restricted.
I see your requests coming in and being fulfilled, the last one was at
06/27/26 11:43AM PDTthat's less than one minute ago... -
@Manu__SDS_MLBTS hi Manu. There’s a pop up coming up that says people are getting restricted. I had one pop up after placing just 8 buy orders.
But within a minute or two it was back to normal function.

Try it again now. Happened to me - but it was a temporary pop up and then started working again very quickly.
-
@Manu__SDS_MLBTS mine is restricted on companion app but not on xbox.
-
Yeah, it worked again for a few minutes. Then restricted again for a few minutes, the worked again for a few minutes, then...
At this point either it is stupid, or I am for continuing to try
-
Same here with the “restricted” error notification. Scared me like I got falsely accused of cheating on an exam lol
-
The restricted thing can be annoying but just wait like 30 seconds and youre good. Huge improvement with the bots so far today.
@manu__sds_mlbts Thanks so much for working on this

The market is usable right now. Lots of cards that have been controlled by bots are winnable at the moment. You can see the effect that bots have had on them. Night and day. Prices have been more or less locked on what the bots parameters are. IF and when the market is functioning this way, imo there is no need to feel like you need to buy and sell things in bulk. Real talk though, the thought to grab what you can while bots are disabled/slow is there.
The reality has been, the market is basically controlled by bots. If you want to flip cards, you’re going to be competing with bots. But if you try to compete with the bots, you will get restricted on the app. Lose/lose situation.
Lots of players, including myself have been caught up in account restrictions, which sucks. But if the bots can be sidelined more often like they are right now, I’d think players wouldn’t interact with the market in ways that resemble bots…

@Manu__SDS_MLBTS Thank you for getting into this! Everyone here is rooting for you!
-
@manu__sds_mlbts I am also seeing a MUCH improved market right now. Currently it's better than it's been all year. Stay vigilant though and keep those bots at bay! I am rooting for you. Keep up the hard work
-
I’m not trying to be a negative Nancy here but the current restriction of only letting people place a handful of orders every 30 seconds then restricting temporarily is ridiculously easy to code around for anyone using a bot
-
@Manu__SDS_MLBTS yea I keep getting restricted and close app and reopen and then good to go
-
@Good-Talk-Bud_XBL don't give the bots ideas!
-
@Manu__SDS_MLBTS not good at all... im getting restricted for buying and selling cards on this app, meanwhile there are people on here ordering 20 at a time, clearly to flip cards for profit (which i have no issue with, its fun and part of the game) but how can you restrict certain people when there is nothing more than using the app you provided to buy and sell?? No bots, software, anything at all. Its not fair the way you have people that find loop holes with multiple stub mule accounts, fake accounts, bots, etc & then you have people like me & im sure the majority of players who want to be able to compete in a competitive market place and buy and sell cads as well, who are getting restricted randomly for buying or selling to fast??? Doesn't make any sense! So we should buy and sell slower & worry about that as well as being undercut every second when trying to buy or sell cards?? I hope you fix this issue & just remove actual people using software or duplicate accounts or even make it so you can only own 15 of a card or something.... but this is just not right.

So…I think the last several hours on the market place have been great. Easily the best it’s been all year. The limited amount of transactions on the app is kinda weird but I’d rather be making a couple of orders successfully instead of dozens in hopes of beating bots. I’d much rather be playing the baseball part of the game instead of the market to get stubs for cards and today is the first time I can realistically see how making a few strategic orders here and there can allow for that. I think all the bots have made a lot of people here borderline insane and thet any haters of these new limitations/restrictions will come around. I’m happy to say for the first time this year that I’m not pissed with sds. Today… thanks and good job!

@NoLimitSnakes_PSN
The restriction notice is temporary. But right now there are no bots for longer than ever before. This is a win. I don’t mind if my orders take 3x as long.
