I am not leaving, too much time invested getting 3 of the 4 major collections done. That being I'll stay mostly offline, maybe pickup a couple events here and there to get the 10k xp but that's about it for online play.

I apologize to all the offline players ive offended. I now completely understand. Its not your faults you dont want to play online. Its theirs!

I'm not offended either. They trashed online, I can't stomach it. Nothing to do and its cesspool of cheaters and toxic players. Not worth the time or energy. That's why I stay offline.

I have come to the conclusion that I won't allow myself to get Beltran because I am not going to spend 300+k on one card. I will probably just casually grind for stubs and be happy with I have so far. If and when SDS decides to stop squeezing us I'll revisit collections but I highly doubt they will stop. The next collection is shaping up to be even more expensive than Beltran. SDS we need a correction in this market. You all have turned the turnup into a prune, there ain't much left to squeeze.

That is one aspect of this game people forget. You can easily just not do the collections and buy cards you want to use. Probably can easily afford any cards in the game if you play casually and do not participate in collections.

I have LS collection done, Miggy and V-Mart done. I don't feel like spending a fifth of my stubs on one card. I will probably get the spotlight collections done because I like playing with them and will probably start doing theme teams and grinding foam fingers doing mini seasons. I think it'll be pretty cool to say I own all the foam fingers even though they are worthless.

They are all switch hitters

And we wonder why they haven't fixed PCI shrinkage.

Mookie has gone up 50k since the last time I checked about 30-45 minutes ago. What freaking joke.

Mookie has been holding steady hasn't dropped he's my lynch pin to Beltran collections. I'm not spending 300k+ for him. Nor will I flush 225k in stubs for slight chance at pulling him. I may try one more pack before it's done.

I tried Mookie chase pack got chase burned. I'll wait a bit and see if mookie goes down. Try again later.

@rubicante23_PSN

Sitting on 1.5 million. Won't spend any of it. I'm hoping this flash sale will cause a drop in prices.

Meanwhile, someone is updating the mobile app almost daily. Like, fix the game first! I can go without the app for quite a while. In fact, if the app were to go down for an extended amount of time, maybe there will be less bots on the marketplace. And maybe those that think SDS are the bots can be proven otherwise...? Just a thought, lol.

I highly doubt that the web app developer is also responsible for actual game fixes.

Plus the app is being updated to try and curb the bot epidemic. Isn't that what everyone wants?

Everyone wants that. If the third party crook sites are causing hyper inflation then SDS needs not to pour gasoline on already combustable marketplace with stub sales. They need to stabilize the market and start working on bringing prices down. Devalue the cards and they devalue the stubs from third party crook sites making it not worth the risk of being banned.

@GoozeFn_PSN said:

@DrBear100_PSN Correct me if I’m wrong, but the last flash sales didn’t include Chase packs. These cards are super inflated and desperately need a flash sale. Unfortunately, a stubs sale blunts the effects of a flash sale.

You are correct, but as a whole it seemed as if the last flash sale actually cuased the marketplace to go up and then there was outrage. Because of the outrage there was another flash sale for LS that absolutely did nothing to bring down the prices.

We just came off of 2 ineffective flash sales that did absolutely nothing went into a stub sale that hyper inflated the marketplace and we are having another stub sale again?! What sales weren't good coming out of the one that just ended? So instead of examining why sales weren't good, you all are just doubling down on us? Especially on a day where there was a partial outage and the app runs like [censored] again.... which may or may not be your all's fault but it's extremely tone deaf!

What are you guys doing, competing with the third party stubs sites. I guess if you can't beat em... join em.

People... People.... I understand the frustration because I too am frustrated but its not like this is the first time this has happened and probably won't be the last. Give them some time to fix this it seems to be an east coast ordeal, they always get it fixed.

Also, we put the blame on SDS all time and rightfully so. But let's stop to think maybe these disruptions aren't caused by them. They did put out new safeguards yesterday on the marketplace and it has seemed to work but it came at a cost like pissimg off the crooked third party stub sites. Everyone should of knew something was going to happen once they rolled out the safeguards. I'm sure SDS knew that but they still moved forward to make the marketplace better. To that Isay kudos.

I would have to wonder if these new marketplace "safeguards" made these third party site boys very surly and that's why SDS is having issues. This game seems to have been hijacked by cheaters and cyber crooks. Very disheartening.

@manu__sds_mlbts

It takes forever to place orders in the marketplace. It's the dreaded spinning wheel of fetching/processing data of death. The app as a whole is very sluggish.

Na na na na na hey hey hey goodbye.... deuces bro, I hope you enjoy your suspension.

My copilot says between 08/07 and 08/11 with the next major attribute/overall roster update 08/14. It's AI so take it FWIW to you.

He's a good ballplayer but a phenom..... that might be a stretch.

Hope it works out for you, your due for some luck to bounce your way!

Okay they have both sold. Over 790k for two cards I paid just over 290k to get.

Now comes the wait to see if they go down enough in the next week or so to get me both of them back plus McGee and Schoendienst.

I'm on the fence on selling ASG Trout he's shot up in price. I thinking about selling him since I now have a glut at CF with Jones and Finest Beltran. The only reason why wouldn't sell him is because I love his swing. But I don't think that's a good enough reason to keep him.
