Are you playing on AS difficulty?

I don’t know if it’s only in the events, that’s just what I played and every time I hit the ball my opponent would just dive out of the way and then take the ball and run around in circles

My man doing the lord's work

@Wolfski0412_PSN they cant even fix the game from freezing while managing our team.

Just incredible

Another fing loss. This [censored] is terrible

There's no way they are doing an update on a Friday before a weekend.

Nor should we want them to lol

@manu__sds_mlbts

@sds_joek_psn

This is the 4th time I've received a loss in the playoffs for a game that I won.

We're just wasting time with this [censored].

Probably the best gameplay, roster editing, probably the best baseball game that got baseball right where MLB went wrong.

Gameplay first needs to be a mantra all of the MLB people grasp in betweeen their 20.00 bills.

Loved that frigging game. Was so far ahead of its time with the slide mechanism and salary/revenue system.

They neutered mini-seasons and made the rewards nothing compared to where they were last year.

Uh...is this a 2025 thread?

Mini seasons are the best month 1 repeatable content in years, if not ever.

If by best you mean not getting a championship bundle (x2), losing in the playoffs despite winning the game (x3) and I'm sure some other fckery then you're absolutely right lol

@aaronjw76_MLBTS

Thank you for pulling me into this thread, I recently started working on some anti-bot strategies.
Personally, I would avoid reCAPTCHA as I believe it would negatively affect honest users...
I am confident we can mitigate this issue, but we are surely against a phenomenon that continues to gain momentum.

I encourage you submit investigation tips to my DMs to help gather information on 3rd parties like CENSORED.

Thank you for the reply. I can try doing some screen recordings to show the instantaneous nature of the bots at work in the market.

Also, I would edit out the X reference. We dont need to be giving tips for more market manipulation lol

@JenkinMeyer_PSN said:

It makes sense really - everyone on reddit here everywhere is making a big deal about the 20 card limit and I can guarantee they put that in place to try to combat bots and not let it get too out of hand.

It's not working

Also FWIW, I’ve finished collections NMS since 22 within a few weeks of release and idk it def feels harder so far.

Last year was my longest at 3 weeks (normally 10-14 days) and it was a big struggle. Had to rely on big pack luck. This year? Maybe June if I'm lucky.

How are you all sure it’s bots? First couple months of the game has always been a very active community market. I’ve gotten all the commons through golds by putting in sell now orders. Bots didn’t prevent me from getting these cards. I think it’s just a large player base right now is all.

Those of us who work the market know what we are seeing is not human activity.

I mean, sure it could be people but seems awfully improbable that a human has undercut by 1 stub instantly after screen refresh from submitting an order. If it happened occasionally then I could chalk it up to human behavior but this occurs wayyyyyy too frequently for me to believe it is humans.

Fyi, when there were more users with the game on Xbox gamepass this behavior wasn't occurring. The market flowed so well during that time so I don't buy the "more users" argument either.

Aristotle's improbable possibility comes to mind here lol

Player graphics are at the frigging bottom of ALL the things we need SDS to spend people resources on.

Game is on fire and you out here worrying about player graphics smh

Pardon the interruption @manu__sds_mlbts but would you be so kind as to inquire with the devs at SDS as to when they will have a solution for the marketplace bots?

Otherwise, im gonna go ahead and program one myself since yall seem to be perfectly fine with their existence.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. AJW

Really surprised i got this done in about 10 mins lol

Power swing here.

Honestly the cards chosen for this drop were basically what AI would have probably predicted.

I think we have all the big names not already in WBC/St Patrick's Day
We also have The Show "favorites" like Mullins and Castellanos

A couple minor guys liek McNeil and Adolis tossed in

The miniseason saves the drop

However, while the wins on all star arent really an issue for me and Im not good, I think its a terrible direction to go down. If someone wants to earn Nimmo on rookie, let them. Even if it takes twice as long.

Agreed. They could have branched outside their small minded beehive and explored some previous year new thread candidates that changed teams in the offseason.

I really enjoyed playing DQ last year. For someone like me, it was challenging enough yet rewarding enough to invest my time. Cards generally held decent value 7K-12K) even a week+ into a drop.

This year, there is absolutely no reason it seems to bother with this mode.

What a shame.

Nope. They neutered the QS of these cards like have done all program cards which has drastically lowered their value.

No one is playing this mode anymore. I've never seen a company so bent on not wanting its player base to engage with all the modes.

Unless you are a goon who can breeze through games, events, DQ, and Br are not worth playing. Ranked is barely worth playing either lol

The glory days are long over.

ANYTHING with a reasonable margin these bots are on them. Put in an order and its already been out bid when the screen changes.
