Stub buying/community market issues
-
I’ve done the gold exchange MANY times. I think the cheapest is to buy 10 75 rated silver players at quick sell (50 stubs) and trade them in for a gold pack.
This way, you are guaranteed a profit on all gold cards except for an 80 (400 stubs quick sell)
Again, 81, 82, 83 and 84 are guaranteed profits. Although, I’d hold on to 84 (at this point) and hope they get upgraded to an 85 (major profit).
I did it earlier in the year (when prices were a bit saner). I usually cleared 30-50k per run thru.
The key is to buy your silvers so that trade in value is less than 600 stubs.
-
For the last several days there has been a window in the late afternoon into evening that 80s sell above quick sell prices. It still is a loss but it has cut the loss on 80s significantly, don't know the exact percentage, it's definitely noticeable.
-
@Onix_Savage22_PSN you buy all the 75 overall silvers for 50 stubs quick sale then you exchange 10 for 1 gold pack any gold player you get that’s not and 80 overall gold is instant profit. Most 80s you can just not sell until roster update time and make your stubs back but your chances of making good profit is 75% in your favor and of course you can just keep them if you think they will go diamond then you really make stubs also since it counts as packs you can go over the 20 limit
-
@theBlindRhino_PSN I thought about this but do ppl usually buy the equipment? Also do u always get out bid by bots?
-
@Onix_Savage22_PSN I don't worry about being outbid. I put in 20 orders for around 15000 on certain cards. I filter by amounts and bid on cards with buy orders of +29000 and especially ones with 0 buy nows. About once a day SDS will cancel all bids that exceed 15000. It is important to be mindful of that. But as I get the orders I list for 30k and don't budge any lower than 29k. I don't need to the stubs right away so I don't worry about whether someone is one upping me as eventually everything goes through. I just monitor about twice a day to make sure my sells don't get cancelled and if they do I just relist for 30k - 29k.

SDS will probably ban you for bringing it up tbh lol. (Probably not) But they have 2 of their biggest streamers openly using and hyping a 3rd party site and they won't do anything to them. So, there is a legal term which nobody has but should challenge SDS on, Selective enforcement. When one of us regular folks get banned for the same thing a CC does and endorses but SDS refuses to do anything about. Again, until someone has the money and time, don't risk getting banned.
-
Streamers are free to get promotion money anyway they can. Unless they use the site themselves they didn’t commit a crime not sure how selective enforcement comes into promoting
-
Well when they are openly admitting to using the site. Thats a problem.
-
I wanted to see what the show community thinks of buying stubs off of thrid party websites. Lots of streamers support this while ive seen sds have issues with that and banning them. Obviously, the default stubs you can buy on the market are too overpriced and is unfair with the value. I just want to spend money on the game for players while not be punished for trying to buy them in such manner that i get banned. what should i do?
Why would any entertain doing this? These 3rd parties sites are ruining the marketplace with their bots. If anything SDS should send cease and desist letters for using their likeness.
-
Are we all ignoring the fact that a person is on an SDS owned forum asking that, I mean I get stubs are expensive, but yeah asking to get banned
-
Actually the one streamer on YouTube was openly promoting cheap stubs from a 3rd party site but never actually bought any and still got banned from online
-
I’ve seen yfk and braken promoting the same third party stub site, that signals to most people that’s it’s ok to do if a major streamer that is clearly visable to sds openly promotes it. It’s like 1 million stubs for 50 bucks, would explain the hyper inflation we’re seeing

If that's the case then why is SDS promoting 50% off stubs to PS5 users for the past week? Wouldn't that intensify the issue?
-
That’s some crazy patience but good for you. I have a heck of a time selling equipment with the constant under bids.
-
Stub selling sites actively make the game significantly worse and anyone who supports them or advertising them does not care one bit about the game.
Its very likely stub sellers are why they took away the 9 IP mission for MP progress as an example

Yes, that is why all these cards are absolutely ridiculous. I've seen 3 streamers promoting this site with discount codes. How can one person get banned but not these 3? Just another shady thing in a long line of shady things from SDS this year.
With the bots/3rd party stub sites and the cheaters, legit players are getting bent over really hard this year. Will be interesting to see if SDS gets punished for it next year.
-
Probably unpopular with investors but I think this needs to happen, SDS needs to increase the accessibility of the rarer cards and also they need to do a hard correction on the marketplace to devalue stubs somewhat to discourage people from buying stubs from third party sites. I think to some degree SDS caused this mad rush to third party sites. Their greed kinda backfired to some degree instead of funneling people to their stub store it forced people to third party sites seeking better values on their real money spent.
-
It's sad SDS is more worried about people buying stubs from other websites than they are fixing the numerous issues they created within the game. Maybe, just maybe, if they fixed the gameplay, people might be willing to spend money on stubs the right way.

I would settle for SDS fixing the bot problem both online and in the market

Appreciate all that was said, really do. At the end of the day, i hope MLB the show decreases the prices of stubs, similar to stub sale days. In the end, its better to just grind for the players you want to get and have fun.
