How is the Community Market feeling? (4)
-
Hey SDS bots on everything in the market, you are failing miserably, they are laughing at you.
I don't think the bots have feelings...
-
Turning on the game after a long day and checking the market. I see 2 cards with sell prices higher then normal so I put in bids to sell mine only to be instantly outbid by 1 stub. INSTANTLY. Seriously WT F. Why is this tolerated? Google makes tools for apps in the play store to prevent things like this. It just needs to be configured and I’m sure an account such as sds would just need to ask for their help. Apple makes similar tools except the bot traffic for this game comes from android emulators - which are advertised by more active marketing departments then this company has. Could probably ask Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft for assistance also because all of their platforms get abused through your game.
-
I’ve been saying it for months. They need to disable all non console transactions. That means none thru the app and none thru internet browsers.
Yes, it means honest players lose some flexibility but it also means the bots are no longer viable. The conservative management of this problem has not and is not working.
-
The app is painfully slow
-
Bots are driving down all the prices slowly but surely. Another sweep is needed.
-
@TripleH-4481_PSN I could see the botters just using emulators or ps remote play and setting up similar scripts

Anyone still listening here? The market feels BAD. Really bad. Really, really bad. Not even sure how it’s possible but managing to get worse everyday. Today’s new twist has been thousands of sell bids posted for Dustin pedroia or whoever 2/3rds of what his cost was yesterday. Kind of exactly like what happened with Otani all star card but this has been going on for 9+ hours. I’m sure I don’t need to tell you about that though.
In terms of the APP the app is working well. The only problem is it’s connected to the marketplace for the show 2026 and it’s an unmonitored disaster filled with bots that are impossible to compete with. I think it’s a problem but it feels like it’s not being treated as a problem. -
Almost every card I was bidding on yesterday had bots adding to it within milliseconds every bid. Even old cards from WBC! I just do not know why you are wasting time on this anymore. PLEASE disable bidding on the app and online and limit buying and selling to console only until you figure our a long term solution to this. PLEASE!

@manu__sds_mlbts @sds_joek_psn hi y’all any update coming this week? Market is in a pretty rough spot.
-
Howdy,
thank you for your continued support! I do hope to put out some good updates this week.
-
Bring on the updates and it kill all non console transactions. Enforce that ban hammer on anyone tied to a bot or stub transfer.
-
What are we waiting for?
-
Despite all the bans last night the bot activity remains the same on all player cards with positive margins. Frustrating to say the least
-
It’s the opposite of fair play.
-
Maybe next week the updates can help the players out…
-
Bots still completely destroying the market. Get rid of them once and for all. Tired of all the cheats. Stub bans were a great first step, next the bots. Then finish with the cheating devices. Clean up the mess.
-
The bots are unbearable right now. It’s possible 40%-50% of ALL market activity atm are from bots responding to bids and sales. It’s hard to sell this “fair play” message without doing any kind of enforcement against market bots.
-
Yeah banning the people buying 3rd party stubs or doing transfers was a great start but the bots continue to be a massive problem.
Even if it means severely limiting app transactions again so be it. At least the market was viable then and not overrun by bots.
I’ve done almost of my flipping on like 5 days this year when the market was stabilized. The remaining 99% of days it hasn’t been worth the hassle.
-
I am somewhat afraid to use the market as this is the only game I play and I don't want to be banned. I do flip cards occasionally and I enjoy flipping as I feel it's part of the game but not wanting to be banned even though it's legal. Looks like quite a few people are getting caught up in the net that shouldn't be. Need more surgical strikes and less casting of wide nets.

This whole mess is so easily fixed. This isn't New York Stock Exchange the Show!
This is MLB The Show. Point being people shouldn't be purchasing a baseball video game in order to play virtual stock broker online! Issue card vouchers as the guaranteed reward for successfully completing any contest. The voucher is graded at a guaranteed level, and so once earned, the customer can select from any one of all the cards at equal or lesser value.
There won't be any need then for folks to have to trade for the cards they want. If they earn the voucher, they can then select whatever card they desire. Same should be true for equipment, but I think we should have ended the idea that equipment was tied to performance in any way whatsoever. Make all the equipment selectable up front and customers can tailor their players as they want.
BTW: This philosophy is already becoming the norm for sports video games. 2K Sports and EA Sports are both releasing their latest sports games devoid of these community markets and equipment limits. With their games, I just create my avatar player and suit him up in whatever equipment I want.
So, SDS is trailing behind their competition, and that is certainly a refrain often pointed out. I just wonder when the suits at SDS will have the cluebirds descend on their shoulders and they figure that out!
