@Stinkysman77_MLBTS hyperboles and analogy exist so im able to use literally any and every word in the dictionary to convey my point.

@cusejuice315_PSN.

If we are getting "more packs"

More people would be pulling more diamonds not less.

Thats not how probability [censored] works.

Sds has literally made golds silver and bronzes worthless.

They made this change in 2022/2023.

99.9% market value has went into 1 or 2 cards.

Thats not normal.

Thats not okay

That favors whales and Sds pockets.

Thats artificially manipulating the market.

Back when trout was 500 k he wasnt worth more than the entire [censored] mlb league combined

Shoei and judge are worth more than the entire [censored] league combined

There is no supply and demand.

If golds silvers n bronze are worthless..

The value isnt based on actual supply and demand.

That are hard capped at a set value.

That doesn't favor the general public

Only sds n whales benefit from that.

Im not a selfish person id rather everyone eat before i eat.

Stop deep throating people blatantly robbing people.

@cusejuice315_PSN you are missing the point of what im saying. Jesus [censored] christ i hate this [censored] planet there is no way the human population is this [censored] stupid

Nothing i have stated.

None of the evidence i have put forth

Has literally nothing

To do

With

Anything you are saying

You are not comprehending

The core

Fundamental

Issues

@Stinkysman77_MLBTS try again

An epidemic is a sudden, rapid increase in disease cases within a specific, localized community or region. A pandemic is an epidemic that has spread over multiple countries or continents, affecting a large number of people worldwide. The core difference is the geographic scale, not the severity of the illness.

I used it correctly and as a metaphor and as an analogy.

Pandemic is a more large scale issue epidemic is more localized.

A influx of bots is in fact a Pandemic.

@peelwonder_PSN sds is handling the market the same way madden and 2k and fifa.

I'm done with mlb the show after this year im just gonna stick to the offine game modes and never buy another game.

We currently have some of the best baseball players in decades so mlb the show 26 will last me atleast 10 years.

I made it to championship series several years consistently only made it to world series once because they fed up weekend classic and i played people i shouldn't have and i got over world series by 15 points ...it was fun competitively for several years, it scratched my competitive itch and re-fueled my love for baseball but ironically it also killed my love for baseball.

Sds is on its path to be like madden.

I wont buy anymore sports games.

When i get the itch to play a sports game I'll just play franchises or something.

I'm gonna invest my time in other games

@peelwonder_PSN its not just the 20 card limit on its own. People listen please.

Yall get off to only fans girls.

I get off to math we aint the same.

This is all simple math.

The 20 card limit(2026) ️ cards quick sell values capped(2022/2023) ️additions of no sale cards(2022/2023) = thr current market we have today

In early 2020s trout was 500k.

Ar 1st glance ooooo thats 200k less tha. Sheoi today.

Gues what.

In 2026 ALL GOLDS,SILVERS, AND BRONZES dont add up to 100k.

Youd have to collect the entire mlb rosters sell them roughly 15 times just to afford shoei.

When trout was 500k.

All golds silvers and bronzes added up to 1 million.

Meaning eve. If you pulled golds n silvers.

You could sell your duplicates and buy the 500k mike trout in roughly a weak of juat selling your duplicates.

Back in 2020. You had golds going for 4-7k eack

And some silvers going for 1k each

And bronzes going for 500 stubs.

I can buy an entire team today with like 1800 stubs. Because golds, silvers and bronzes are worth literally [censored] in todays game.

Allll of the market value has shifted to the top 5 cards making 99.8% of the other cards have no value.

So the only cards worth literally anything is the cards that have a 1% drop rate and everyone would have to open 10000 packs.

@ApolloZ_99_MLBTS from 2018-2022 you did. And it was healthy and everyone benefited.

I dont give a rats [censored] about the 100 people it benefits.

I want the game, the games economy.

To benefit everyone who logs into and plays mlb the show

@Teak2112_MLBTS thats not even remotely how supply and demand works at all

@cusejuice315_PSN

Sds did this intentionally.

No sale cards and putting a hard cap on cards value does not benefit the gamers at all.

@Stinkysman77_MLBTS Metaphorically means using a figure of speech to describe something symbolically rather than literally. It highlights a resemblance between two unlike things to add meaning or imagery, acting as the opposite of "literally". It implies a figurative, symbolic

@cusejuice315_PSN

@cusejuice315_PSN

This is sds manipulating the market. This was done in 2022 and mad worse in 2023 and worse since.

This doesn't benefit the player base at all.

It's a hinder to true authentic supple and demand.

And then in 2023 they added a ton of no sale cards(which in previous years you could sell anything and everything if you didn't need it to go for other collections or things you wanted.

These 2 things literally hindering players from earning more stubs

Thats just a blatant fact.

I earned more stubs from 2018-2022.

I have no life i play nothing but video games

I am the no money spent.

Sds has gotten greedy since 2023.

Stop defending them take your ego out your [censored] and stand up for your fellow gamers and defend them from getting [censored] over by a greedy corporation.

This is exactly why i stopped playing madden and 2k.

Sds had it balanced.

You had 2 ways of doing things.

1 get every card by spending money.

Or get every card by just playing the game.

I have to play mlb show every day all day flip cards all day. Just to complete everything in a month maybe.

It used to not be like that.

I used to be able to complete the live series collections in a week or so.

@cusejuice315_PSN your defending a million dollar company and ignoring the fact that i dont do anything with my life but on play video games and from 2018-2022 i had zero issues an complete collection and had a ton of stubs vs every year since 2023 they have literally made changes literally like in the most literally way possible made changes to literally reduce the amount of stubs players can make from selling cards for stubs or from just playing the game.

I literally did that from 2018-2022.

I am the no money spent.

I see it blatantly your literally ignoring the fact that i who literally had zero issues from 2018-2022 but now i point out blatantly examples of changes sds has made.

Why can you not connect the dots.

From 2018-2022 i had no problems.

But 2023-2026.
What have the changed?

Cards are set at a pre set value/quick sell

All 83s are valued at the same prices regardless of supply and demand.

They added no sale cards as a fake to say its for "collections"

When in reality its a decoy.

We get less but with no sale cards its an illusion.

This has literally nothing to do with stock trading or what ever a.i [censored] your feeding me. Your probably a bot or a suit defending sds.

Sds can go [censored] them selfs you greedy [censored] suckers

@cusejuice315_PSN mlb the show 2022 and mlb the show 2023

@cusejuice315_PSN you are incredibly stupid and clearly rage baiting. Your response has nothing to do with any of my points

Pair this with the addition to no sale cards in 2022/,2023 and has only gotten worse.

More diamonds behind packs that are scarce.

Sds is blatantly manipulating thier own market we as the player base do not have any control over the market at all.

2021 they added no sale cards(low amount)

Each year since they've added more items that cant be sold which effects the market and things people can't sell to then use to buy orher stuff.

2022/2023 they made the change where sell now values and was restricted for overalls 84-64(the commons)

A 83 card no one has selling for the same as a 83 overall everyone has is not how supply and demand works. Thats blatant market manipulation by sds.

Sds has made 84-40 worthless.

And made high overall diamonds cards that are rarer to obtain means younhave to open even more packs then you used to 8 years ago because i could sell 4 83s for 5k each and then get a low end diamond

@ApolloZ_99_MLBTS i played madden from 2005-2017.

I got in mlb the show because of how easy to get all cards from 2018-2022 was.
Sds has in fact objectively blatantly made subtle changes to how stubs are obtained, adding no sale cards(,can get duplicates) , limiting mass sales for mass flipping/ gambling on roster updates.

Cards used to not be set at a set value they changed it to where card 83 would by default have a set value.

Cards values used to be set by the players supply and demand.

Sds is manipulating the market with subtle changes over the past 5 years.

Like i don't have a life i only play video games.

I'm telling you from 2018-2022 completing collection and earning stubs was so easy.

It has gotten progressively harder over the last 5 years.

Sds has made changes to diamond dynasty and the market every year for the last several years.

Not a coincidence that they made those changes and it harder to earn stubs abd completing collections

I have done no money spent since 2018.
2018 millions of extra stubs
2019 millions of extra stubs
2020 millions of extra stubs
2021 millions of extra stubs
2022 millions of extra stubs

But 2023 less
2024 even less
2025 even less
2026 cant even break 100k stubs and im 2 million away from completing the live series collection (i own majority of the collection)

I once completed the live series in like 2 weeks because i got lucky and pulled both ohtani and judge.

Thats entirely luck and has nothing to do with how easy it is to flip cards or get stubs from playing the game or get rewards that i can sell.

I have more cards i cant sell than i do cards i can sell.

That wasn't the case 8 years ago

Which btw nms is just a way of coercion to get the masses to think its possible to do nonchalantly.

@TheRupster12_XBL i played since 2018.

Its noticeable they amount of effort you have to put in has increased exponentially.

I have completed collections since 2018.

With ease little effort at all.

In 2026.

20 card limit.
No sale cards.
5 live series cards take up all of the value.
Too many packs that you have to spend money to obtain other collections.

Your baseing your ability to collect every soling on random generated numbers and entirely luck based.

From 2018-2022

I earned more stubs
Card flipping from 2018-2022 was a trillion times easier

Card flipping in 2026 most cards your lucky to flip for 200 stubs

All golds at 83 are set at a set value

Cards used to not have set values limited based on overall thats a fact.

From 2018-2022 we earned more packs from conquest and programs and rank.

The only time cards was gate kept was the event rewards and ranked world series was limiting to those that won/was good. Now its easier to get world series rewards.

But overall its harder to complete collections because of restrictions and limitations sds has put on the market.

You are literally defending a company robbing its player base.

I literally played madden from 2005-2017 and quit because mut was extremely monetization to the point you had to spend money or play 24/7 literally.

I went to mlb the show i enjoyed it because diamond dynasty was extremely easy to get cards and good ones very quickly and easy. Flipping cards was easy i could sell everything i average 1-2 million extra stub.

Literally go look at 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026 and notice what changes they have made to market, how cards are obtained, how many more cards are locked behind packs that are purchased(not everyone pulls the best card)

Its objectively a fact sds has literally made changes on how diamond dynasty functions whether how much stubs you can earn. Limitations on market or how things are obtain.

Go look.

Literally its too subtle year to year to notice

But from a person that has only play video games and does literally nothing else with their lives.

Im telling you sds is doing this on purpose.

They want more money from stubs sales.

And if they keep getting greedy stub sales will have a peak but eventually people will buy less stubs because of how little they get in return.
