How is the Community Market feeling? (2)
-
The bots are definitely back. Immediate undercuts up to a threshold and then they stop. When i canceled the lower price and went up some they immediately were back
-
@ToucheAmore18_PSN just move on to another card if you are flipping
-
The app is slow right now (no limit capping though), but the console has been slow since yesterday, so I think that's just a server thing and not an app thing.
Margins have been shrinking again today, hard to say if it's 100% bots or if it's just market ebbs and flows.
-
@PLY24MKR_XBL yeah its across multiple cards. This isn't my first year flipping lol
-
Market is very laggy right now on console. It takes several seconds to place orders
-
What are they doing now? Market down for updates?!
-
Bots are bad. Preferred the restrictions to be honest.

The market always goes down on Tuesdays for the new headliner pack and the market also always goes down on content days
-
I really do appreciate the communication and all the work, @manu__sds_mlbts
The bots are back to pre-restrictions levels sadly.
-
I second the app being slow placing orders and agree that’s it probably a server related issue. My friend can place orders without issues but I’m fighting “processing” and “fetching data” constantly.
-
Yep bots have once again killed all the margins. Every fix makes a huge difference initially but then they are always back with a vengeance.
If killing all non console transactions takes out the bots for good then it needs to be done and people can either accept and adapt or move on. This back and forth with the bots is ridiculous.
In prior years I used the app a lot to flip but this year it’s been almost exclusively on the console and it’s doable once you adjust. The bots ruined a good thing but for long term market health it’s time to take them out for good. Disable all transactions that aren’t directly on the console. No app or show zone shenanigans.
-
The bots are back. Market margins are awful.
Bring back the restrictions you had before. The order limits on the app or whatever. Those seemed to be really effective—more effective than what’s currently in place, anyway.
It’s unfortunate that I am turning to other games to play while this is going on. It’s not worth playing the game and flipping cards if the bots ensure there is no profit to be made.
@manu__sds_mlbts please do something!
-
Maaan stop complaining about bots and move on to other cards!

By what rationale should he or anyone else wanting to use the community market as intended "stop complaining" about bots? Of all the replies I have read at this community forum over the last several years, that one ranks high on the totem pole of replies that just beggars all belief!
-
I genuinely appreciate the interaction and effort SDS is showing here to counter these bots in the market. However, there is an elephant in the room that needs addressing. Had SDS shown a quarter of the interest, genuine pursuit of customer feedback, and a fraction of the direct action on those issues other game modes suffer, the overall state of MLB The Show would be dramatically better than it is.
The community market is merely one game mode among many. It is time for SDS to realize that RTTS, Franchise, Custom Uniforms, Custom Logos, and Stadium Creator have gone years without significant upgrades. Of these, RTTS and Franchise received some changes, but some at the cost of other things that were desired.
No one rationally expects every mode to be upgraded each year, but frankly no game mode should go five to six years without any upgrades, or even worse with significant bugs lingering for years. It's about balance, and that does not restrict itself to the balance sheet!
-
@PLY24MKR_XBL you cant move on because they are all over the place.
-
@PriorFir4383355_XBL I 100% agree… they can focus on other items at hand that need to be improved or fix rather than focusing on bots! Its almost been 3 months that they have been trying to fix the issue of bots and the only who have been affected is the true end user!
-
@DEF266_PSN Yes you can! Theres tons of items that you can flip! Now we are back to 4 cards max to post and you have to completely close comp app and reopen it to continue posting! Just not convinient at all! Complaining about bots has got us where we are and sds not focusing on other issues that has this years version of the game ome of the worsts!
-
@PLY24MKR_XBL to their credit they have addressed and been pretty good with communicating recently, more than we got any other year. Cheating that is more on the console company. If Manu is specifically focusing on the community market that is great and why this is pinned in the Community Market area and not Diamond Dynasty. Maybe we need more communication for actually game fixes but like in the past sometimes they fix something to soon it hurts something else.
-
I agree but right now being limited to 4 cards to post is ridiculous. People who use bots will always adapt their scrips.
