How is the Community Market feeling (8)
-
To add to that, I do silver to gold exchange packs. It's pretty profitable that is how I managed to get all four major collections completed. I also do some passive flipping on targeted cards that move quickly so I don't tie up stubs. I also have done investments for the first time ever, the last two roster updates I made 215k stubs on the one before and just under 200k on this one. I am trying my hand at investing this upcoming collections, I bought a lot of former WC cards when they were lower and few other lower risk cards that historically have done well just before a big collection drop to see if they pan out. I may skip out on this collection if it's a pitcher, since I don't play multi-player. It's not all that important to me to have a meta pitcher playing offline DD. I skipped out on John Donaldson last year and just went after position players I wanted.

Howdy and Happy Sunday!
I have now tighten up the rules and we should probably see a significant impact...
-
Indeed, seems better
-
Much better!

Glad to see someone working on this and providing updates, kinda wish this was more of a thing Months ago but, is what it is. But this is one of the single worst things about this game this year for sure. Hopefully for 27 we can use the market without bots, or at least no so many.

These actions have renewed by confidence for MLB The Show 27

Looks like the Brice Turang WBC card (earned through event rewind packs) was active earlier today for stub swapping/selling. So September 14th from 10:45AM PDT to 10:56AM PDT is where I'm seeing nearly 100 orders completed in a small window. Also seems to have been active late last night. Hope this information helps so you can keep banning these bozos purposefully and willfully breaking ToS. Is this the best place to report these types of issues Manu? Or should I be doing tickets.

I have no complaints since whatever was tightened up Sunday. I won’t be shy to mention anything that sticks out to me as abnormal

@Manu__SDS_MLBTS market seems great to me, but how often should we be getting these market verification requests? At first when I would get them, it would tell me I would have to verify again in 24 hours. Yesterday and today that's gone down to every 6 hours. Is this normal? Or have I done something to trigger more intense scrutiny?
-
@FokkenXCross_NSW Good news, it's not you! Parameters change, and I'm trying to find a good spot...
-
@Manu__SDS_MLBTS thank you Manu! I just wanted to make sure I hadn't done something to make the system suspicious. I honestly don't mind this verification system at all, and it seems to be working from my limited experience.

I am receiving a notification that reads “Your account has been restricted” when attempting to buy/sell/cancel an order on the companion app only. Although, I can utilize the marketplace via my console. I have submitted tickets, and followed up more than once. Disappointingly, I haven’t even been acknowledged in return. I have logged out/in, no luck. I have deleted the app, then redownloaded, no luck. This issue began 09/13/2026 around 7pm EST. So, it has been almost 48 hours ignored. Any insight?
-
@DEF266_PSN I like that idea. But instead of just doing a verification only by email, maybe do verification via google authentication too.
Along with console login should be a part of verification. Gameplay vs app use with buys and sells should be looked at as well.
-
@manu__sds_mlbts you are a genius. You have been working diligently on this all year, and adding verification once or twice a day has been incredible. It is a super minor inconvenience that takes a few seconds - easy cheese.
Right now, it looks like the bots are gone. I also tested flipping cards the way I normally would and have not hit any stalls, aside from one or two 20-second cooldowns, which are totally fine.
If things stay as they are, this is THE W of the year. Amazing work!

Thank you!!!
It appears the current combination of measures is keeping the majority of the unwanted Marketplace access at bay, now we continue to monitor, explore and correct.
Please continue the observation and feedback, which is very precious for our next refinements!

Sorry for asking this question but I'm just coming back to this app after taking time off to be with family after a loss of a family member and when I went to sell cards I'm met with verification now, how long has this been happening or is it new?

I'm sorry to hear about your family member. The verification happens 1-2 times per day for me. It's part of Manu's combination to keep the unwanted activity away.

Oh ok, if it's to keep the unwanted activity away from the market then I'm all for it
