@rageincage007_XBL
Yes, the last couple of years I was able to complete Live Series sometime in mid may. I played almost 2-3 hrs a night (most nights) and I flipped during the day.I did not complete Team Affinity either year. I did complete far enough to get Jolt cards.
I am at work right now losing ground compared to last year because I am still restricted.

@DemIsE4_XBL i agree, people like yourself, who feel they can't do something, so instead of doing something about it they complain. Have a great day. I truly hope you get LS collection completed before July.

@Tuke7-1_PSN some guy saw my team yesterday and after Pujols hit a walk off he messages me and just says “how much”. I was like nothing im basically nms and for mlb atleast I am every year. And he goes yeah right, im like man idk what else to tell u i got ridiculously lucky pulls this year. I am still al west and central away from tulo but only money I spent was like the one time offer on PlayStation where u pay like 3.99 for 8k stubs cause it’s a good deal. but besides that ive pulled 2 shohei’s 2 skenes a lindor a Marte and he was so hard to believe me for some reason he bickerd back and forth for like15 mins. I just was like dude idk what else to tell u i got lucky it doesn’t mean i spent money.
Some people do get extremely lucky at times, and if you did, that is awesome for you. I am certain there is a very small percentage of those who are allegedly NMS, who have completed the collection or are very close to completing it w/o spending money because of a hot streak.
I have watched my notifications of friends on a hot streak where it was like every 3rd notification was a diamond pull.
I work full time as well, but occasionally have the time to play at work in our lounge area, but I just haven't been lucky with any good pulls thus far. I have 14 cards remaining and without pulling any, it will run around 2.3M stubs. Lots of grinding ahead of me.

@Tuke7-1_PSN that’s awesome you have the opportunity to play at work. I unfortunately can only play on weekends usually in the summer. By the time I get home I’m so dead I just wanna eat and go to bed lol

Not always. It used to be a regular thing in the past though. My job requires a graveyard shift from 6p-6a and there are times that are unbelievably slow with nothing going on. We have our own lounge, and myself and another guy play so we kicked in and bought a PS5 to use at work.

I have been no money spent since I started playing in 2023. I relied on flipping during the day when I could at work and playing the game during the evening. I agree that something needed to be done about the bots and the inflation. Unfortunately I have been restricted making it difficult for me to even get collections on this inflated market. I agree. Let's go back to the way collections were in 23 were they were easier.
My issue with the LS collection from 22 and 23 is that those cards were basically irrelevant because of how prevalent high OVR cards were available right from the start. Even the high OVR LS cards were useless by comparison to what was available for free.
That is why the LS high end diamonds have been so expensive the last 2 seasons. In previous years, there were so many 99OVR cards released within the first few days, no one cared about those high end LS cards with the exception of Trout, Judge, and Ohtani. SDS isn't releasing those 99 cards early any longer and it is overinflating the price of cards that will be useless after the collection.

@Teak2112_MLBTS LMFAO ….post a video of any 10 pack 20 pack or 50 pack coming even close to this. made up by the same dumpster who hits .117 and decides who is meta and who isn’t…. how has the EV increased 10% since you posted? Seems super accurate

That's the point. Having those cards made the LS collection irrelevant. I got it done because I wanted the cards but there SHOULD be a reward to those who complete the collect. If those cards aren't any better than free cards they hand out then what's the point of the LS collection.
Personally, I have zero problem with the best cards, esp early in a game cycle, being locked behind a pay wall.

So, every year I buy the game and my wife gets me a 50$ PSN card to kind of jump start my team. Beyond that, I don't spend anything else. I manage to complete the LS collection with some years taking me longer than others. Last season took the longest even with pulling Ohtani on release due to the increased difficulty in flipping and so many LS cards becoming so called "gatekeepers."
I have seen videos posted at around the 2 week mark of people completing the LS collection with "No money spent," and I just don't believe it. Even today, with some prices having dropped from the release rush, the 14 most expensive cards are still running nearly 2.4 million stubs. Unless they have just gotten obscenely lucky with their pulls, I don't believe most of those claiming "NMS" are being truthful.
This is pointless, I know, just felt like ranting a bit.
I actually watch a lot of those content creators and can point out one thing most of them have in common - they are the ones who are brought in by SDS to test the game out before launch, and some of them are "partnered" with SDS and/or are influencers for The Show.
Don't you notice how none of them take a hard stand about the flaws in the game? They usually take soft stands (usually about something obvious and users already in an uproar about) that they follow up with by ending with something positive that promotes the game as a whole, despite its flaws. And they always avoid talking about the things the SDS avoids talking about.

You want flipping tips? Take a look at the market a couple of times during the day, decide what cards you want to go for, either watch the market for a little or start slow and small and work your way up.

I just want a new engine specifically designed for next gen. FFS, the PS5 has been out for 6 years. After 6 years of the PS4, you couldn't find anything for PS3, and yet, SDS is still using the same engine for last gen consoles.
-
Then file a complaint with MLB, they’re the ones that handcuffed us to old gen systems.
-
Honestly most people that say they are no money spent are the content creator like gomes koogs shelfy and others that play up to the devs so it looks good for the game and say well look at my team even a common player can have this team and then gets that person to buy. I believe these creators are getting a kickback with packs.
-
If you're NMS and you don't have some cheesy stub-making method (like some flipping algorithm), it's gonna take you till July, with average luck. But, that's how it's intended to be. Maybe longer if you also try to buy new collections, spotlight, etc.
If we lived in the old pre-microtransactions vudeo game world, people would just accept this....remember the days when you actually had to do everything in a game to get the best rewards? The old days, before content creators were a thing - ah, nostalgia
No youtube walk through videos for story mode games either, we actually had to think how to get ahead whenever we got stuck.
-
i respect free to play players bc they have to grind throu the full game to get the achivements they want. But i find that most lie and try to pretend they got god tier RnG 400x.
When you watch a man spend 5k usd opening packs and not pull a Judge or Otani and in my opinion not that many diamond duplicates. He couldnt complete most of his completion stuff its just lol. FTP is designed to entice you to spend money. look at all those people claiming fake bans for "flipping" how many are real? how many are lies? There is a reason someone made that program.
But is it possible? sure, 1 unicorn outa some number prolly in the 6 figures. Is it as many as people claim? No
And b4 you guys make fun of that money spender guy. Remember with multiple K viewers he prolly made that money back + writeing off for taxes as buisness expense and all that blah blah. So in the end, did he spend money? i guess it depends on how you view the truth. Think those same streamers that say no money spent think that way? =p

Seriously it is NOT that hard to be NMS and get collections done. Did it by the end of April last year and on pace this year too. Only need Ohtani and Skenes to finish NL and pulled judge yesterday so only need Witt and Jram for expensive diamonds in AL. Just grind a couple WBC mini seasons (7 games) and a couple DQ runs (30minutes) a week and you can usually have 100+ standards and 15-25 Ballin packs. This isn't including extra packs from TA if you keep changing you players to grind that at the same time. I mean in the first couple weeks if you completed ALL the conquests, mini seasons, DQ, and programs you'd probably have gotten around 600 standards. Even flipping which I have never done isn't necessary. But to put it in perspective ALOT of of the people who do legitimately get collections done in a couple weeks can go 10-0 multiple times where the possible rewards have an extreme ceiling.

Im not saying it can't be done. What I am saying is it is INCREDIBLY difficult to have it done in just over 2 weeks w/o spending $. I have done all the Conquest, played multiple WBC mini seasons while knocking out TA requirements along the way, and I have pulled maybe 5 diamonds with Acuna being the highest priced of them all. It is what it is, last year I had great pull luck, not so much this year.

If 100 people claimed they pulled these players NMS thats less than .005 percent.
Sounds legit to me and not bs but jealousy in humans is a real thing too, and not bs either.
