Market restriction permanent
-
@GodShammGod2_XBL Every time the app updates, I believe it's SDS countering the bots. The problem is the bots are usually back within a day or two
-
@nhacia88_MLBTS I’m going to skip 27, at least. Will be the first MLB the show game I haven’t bought.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN thats me as well, being restricted on the app for doing nothing was pretty much the final straw
-
@GoozeFn_PSN SDS should probably skip '27 as well.
-
I’m not going to buy ‘27 until I know for sure there’s no market place nonsense cap restrictions etc. love the game but the community market is literally another game mode for me sad part is it makes you watch and enjoy the real game because you care about how certain players are doing for investment purposes
-
They really should just make this game super easy just to weed out what’s a concern vs what is tribal/inconvenience
-
@nhacia88_MLBTS Unfortunately I think the cap is here to stay. Despite always having some less than subtle nudges towards the stub shops most years, the past three years in particular since the staff turnover have put heavy emphasis and reliance on MTX. I agree sneaking the cap in underhandedly the way they did was super bad optics, but it's not going anywhere.
-
So I have a question.
I usually play Diamond Quest multiple times and save my rewards(cards) to list on the market all at once. If I continue doing that, there’s a chance I’ll be banned from using market place on the app or website?
-
@Sarge1387_PSN the whole thing stinks of some suit who came in with a "5 year plan", and its killing the game. You see it often within proven IPs. Look at bungie, how do you go from halo, to mass layoffs yesterday?
-
@nhacia88_MLBTS They aren’t going backwards and I’d expect another move to limit stub making. I wouldn’t be surprised if they did away with silver to gold exchange.

@Go4stros25_MLBTS It's not just gaming, it's what happens when companies go tonedeaf completely lose touch with their consumer base for too long. Sure, the odd one comes back and realizes the mistakes they made- but not very often at all.

It comes down to what SIE (Sony Interactive Entertainment) has in mind. Whether they authorize the budget for SDS to hire the code talent needed to redo the game with a fresh code design, and then perform the necessary alpha testing as well as beta testing. And with any fresh code package, extensive testing is required.
My cynical side tells me that Sony never regarded their acquisition of SDS as anything more than control over content on their Playstation. It was MLB that forced SDS to develop the game for X-Box and Switch. This tells me that for Sony, the sad reality is that Sony's strategic plan may be to ride the wave as long as possible and then sell off SDS for whatever price they can get for the pieces.
Every part of me hopes that is wrong, but I never expected the title to go this many years without any significant upgrades, and I certainly never expected to see the amount of bugs explode despite trivial changes made. I mean, being unable to even code effectively operating menus? That's something I would have never expected to see happen.

@TripleH-4481_PSN I'm also flipping on console most of the time. I wonder if these false bot flags will make people flip on console more, and maybe restore the market to the way it used to be? At least a little bit?
