So.... Why was it being rejected?

My biggest problem with moments is the difficulty seems completely arbitrary. "Veteran" for a 3 XBH Topps Now moment seems entirely different from and far harder than "Veteran" against the CPU on Conquest.

Bought some cards while on console and while updating my watchlist to remove them in the app, I was restricted. Never actually placed or cancelled an order, just opened card pages and un-hearted them.

Spent two hours on Higeshioka, still not done. Got Anderson done on in about 10-15 minutes, but this one just won't click for me.

If you homer in the 1st, you're up 6-0 at home, so almost no chance of a 9th inning PA. And the Jays use RHP for the first couple of AB (so you have the 125 power), but then they switch to LHP (100 power for KH). I can't count the number of times I've homered the first two PA's only to hit warning track shots in PA's 3 and 4.

Also, I never thought I'd be sick of grand slams, and yet, here we are...

Another thing that's weird I've noticed is every silver bat I looked has ~500 sell orders each at both 50 and 55 stubs. This is clearly not human behavior.

I don't know how stacking hundreds of bat sells helps the bots, but with the 19 order limit per account, it's also incredibly bizarre.

So I guess pick your poison: bots or account restrictions. I think I’ll take the bots but still unsure.

Except right now we have both bots AND account restrictions. Worst of both worlds...

App has been amazing but is it down for everyone else right now?

Yeah it died on me right after I posted above.

@whyme76_XBL

this is exactly what has been happening to me, in video form.

I pinch hit Belt AND pinch ran for the 20-ish speed runner at 1st with a 70-something runner in case of a gapper, but hit a homer with belt so even Grandal could have scored from 1st.

Yeah, the app has been smoother today but the margins have evaporated now

@whyme76_XBL yup, I've had that happen, too.

I hit Prestige 45 a couple of weeks ago and my best option was Betts, who I sold for $22K at the time. Disappointing, to say the least...

Anyone who hits Prestige 45 almost certainly has the live series completed. Instead of the Live Series Lottery, it should just be a flat amount of Stubs like $100K or something (the $10K rewards along the Prestige path are pretty silly, also).

4 cards is not a thing

The exact same thing is happening to me

EDIT: Technically it's 5 orders and then a hard stop as shown. Still, 4 or 5, same experience.

It seems to slam the brakes with restrictions every 5-10 transactions. I appreciate the effort to prevent the bots, but real human should be able to make a couple of dozen transactions without getting hit.

This happened to me last night. Won three straight event games. The first worked fine. The second and third gave me credit towards event entry wins and parallel XP, but did not count towards event total wins, inning or daily missions, or TA innings played. Very frustrating.

@samguenther1987_PSN Except that it does hinder the bots, they run into the same restrictions as everyone else and can only do a few transactions every few minutes. Which is why the margins widen and the market has flowed better after an app update. It takes the bot makers a bit to do and push out adjustments.

Not really. Margins are non-existent this morning with tons of orders that net tiny margins that no human would post, while actual humans are restricted. Bots are still finding a way while we're getting capped.
