    Everyone flipping jerseys and bronzes for 25 stub profit tells you all you need to know about how dead the market is.

    People wouldn’t have to do that if the pack odds weren’t so terrible. Sure wish the game was slightly more rewarding for the grind.

    Before all the white knights attack me, I know this game gives out plenty of packs just for playing and it’s so much better than 2K, so save your breath.

    Bottom line is the pack odds could be significantly better and I highly doubt it would even put a dent in SDS/Sony bottom line and it would make the game much more rewarding for its players.

    Every year they make the game more and more “pay to win”. Granted, you can win with a lot of different players. But as far as getting collections done and rewards. They make it worse every year.

    While I feel and usually share your pain, packs have been good to me so far : Soto, Tatis Jr, Wilson, Will Smith, Glasnow(2), Diaz, Betts, Wheeler.

    I fear I might be burning my pack luck early but so far I’ve been surprised.

    I got restricted this morning from flipping cards on the app. $100 for 150k stubs they charge and they set a 20 copy limit but I flip commons for 2 million stubs and get restricted. I just used what they made available then they restrict it. Its bullcrap. Why have the app for market if we cant flip? They have it because its quicker than console

    Doing missions get get you quick and easy golds. I did some WBC moments and got some gold cards that were easy.

    It's a two-fold issue. First problem is the sheer volume is what's likely triggering the restriction. Second issue is (and has been the past couple years) is they are 100% trying to limit people's ability to make stubs without using the stubshop.

    Im assuming this is happening because of the crackdown on bots. While there are bots out there, I think people were overestimating how many were actually bots vs real players and crying about it so much, and SDS actually did something about bots. So everyone who flips alot is getting mixed up in the bot crowd.

    Bots or not they are artificially manipulating the market because less and less are buying stubs. They started limiting diamonds in RTTS packs last year in May because people stopped buying the over priced sale of air. This year they doubled down. They already got my $90 I’m not going to fall for this EA created micro transaction bs for a full price game.
