HOW did get to a point where ONE LS card is 700K?
-
I would assume the online player base is down, but the offline player base is probably putting more time into it than past years simply because its far more rewarding than past years. Its night and day.
Last year I would just finish the conquest maps and mini season once, and then go play something else. There was nothing to do because the repeatables for miniseasons were [censored], and DQ sucks.
This year with the WBC miniseason being so quick and rewarding I'll typically run through that once a day, sometimes Ill do NT as well which is also quick. Not to mention im still having fun using all the WBC cards
The Shohei thing really is difficult to explain.
Packs are certainly WAY up, I would be shocked if they werent up by 300% or more. The rate hasnt changed, so supply is up.But Shohei held at over 600k up until I think January or Feb, so the demand is there long term. So the increase in supply isnt dropping his price. And of course more people are holding him this year.
The other impact this has had is any card that isnt live series is cheaper. That Trout card, given it is a special insert of a quite limited pack and arguably the best non "red diamond" card in the game wouldn't have ever been as low as 70k in past year. Its going up now because of no new ones entering the marker, but i was shocked at how cheap it was. Ted Williams is relatively cheap. People are clearly going all in on live series.
And none of that makes sense because everyone complained that Tulo wasn't an exciting reward
You and I have a different opinion on rewarding. My last 9 mini season runs have me questioning why I am even doing it. Feels like a colossal waste of time.

@Teak2112_MLBTS Funny thing about Tulo up until he was announced as the reward....everyone was begging for him to be put back in the game....he's put in the game and now he isnt a worthy LS collection reward lol.
I don't care much for RH hitters but Tulo is still an excellent card. Be lucky to see him before August the way my pack pulls are going.

Don't worry, when all those 99s get released at the end of the year, the LS cards will be worthless.
