I had success last friday to the tune of about 250K. Since then it's been a struggle.
I can normally flip 75K-100K/day during the first couple weeks to get collections done quick but might be until May at this pace lol
Geez 250k in a day is insane!! What have you been averaging since then? My best day is 20k and that honestly took too much effort lol.
Yeah maybe 20-30K and the effort to reward ratio is pathetic at this point.
This is the only UT mode game I play anymore because I actually enjoy working the market to build my team (I can easily afford to just buy it) but the market (and investing) aspect has always been a nice little side piece of the game.
I agree 100%. I could easily throw hundreds of dollars into the game and buy the collections but the grind of working the market makes it so much more rewarding when I complete them!

Flipping for stubs will be less successful as more people learn about it. Flipping relies on people selling low and buying high so the flippers can buy low and sell high.
I doubt SDS has anything to do with it. Unless they have bots selling low and buying high…
Yeah, SDS has nothing to do with a 10% tax for no reason on transactions, the amount of cards in circulation, and the quick sell prices changing the last few years. But please tell me more how SDS doesn’t affect it.
Honestly I couldn't care less about those things. They are secondary to the actions taken to directly lower the user base of their game which has an overall greater affect on the market economy of their game IMO.
-
Here is an example, years past I would put in 100+ buy orders of cards before heading to work. A couple hours later I would have about 30-40% completion rate of those orders ready to list.
I would do this throughout the day and night. 15-20 mins spaced every few hours and easily bankroll my team. It was clockwork.
These days I've tried to do the same process that has led me to tens of millions of stubs and I'm getting maybe 5 completions total if I'm lucky.

I can agree with that. The amount of cards in circulation is ultimately the biggest factor.

But that's not on SDS,that's on Sony and mlb.mlb publishes the game for Xbox and switch,their decisions on game pass,Sony publishes on PlayStation,their decision on no last gen.should have seen that coming,spring/summer last year is when they started releasing games on PS5 only.

NotI dont like being this guy... but unless you have gotten collections done in the first couple weeks from flipping alone the last 4-5 years then you have no clue what you are talking about.
You keep spouting this line as it being fact when people who KNOW are saying the opposite.

Just say you don't know how the market has operated in the past at this time of year.

...Hence SDS is sony. You're using semantics to try and argue a point that still stands. SONY (either through themselves as the parent company or it's subsidiary) made decisions that lowered the player base of their game.

This is because I am doing to the same thing you are doing about five minutes after you are done.

then you have no clue what you are talking about.
I've been flipping since 2017. And the difference between this year's first week and previous year's first week is negligible, especially when compared to late-stage flipping from a month ago.

Umm, I wasn't arguing anything,I only said it wasn't SDS fault it was Sonys fault.

I’ve always been able to complete collections within a month of the game being released. This year I am using that same strategy and it will take me 3 months to complete the collections at this rate. So if the difference between this year’s first week and last years is negligible then why is this the case?
-
You're right, but I swear it was usually just because the early access and always picked up after full release
-
Sds didn’t have to remove secondary positions. One of the biggest complaints the last couple years has been players being restricted and not being able to use the cards they’ve unlocked. Now that sets are gone they’ve found a new way to restrict using your best cards in a lineup together. A talking point by a few of the content creators in the community actually had been being less restrictive with positions. Any shortstop could slide over and play 2nd, any center fielder could move to left or right. It also really annoys me that positions guys have significant time in the league at aren’t listed as a secondary. Most players would prefer the freedom to enjoy the cards they like over realism in a sports video game.
-
Seems to me that the ability to flip or not has far more to do with uninformed players using the market.
I would think a lot of those players were coming in from Game Pass and now that it is out of the equation, things have gotten harder. Oh, and you can probably blame Microsoft and MLB (the publisher on Xbox) for it's lack of inclusion moreso than Sony and SDS
