Must be an anti bot tactic, but will backfire. Bots are the only ones that will stick around and put up with it.

I think at some point, anyone reading this has loved this game. I’ve only been playing since the last 2 months of 25 but was obsessed instantly. It’s so frustrating there’s so many major problems currently with 26. The negative feedback is loud. And valid. The silence from sds is like, demoralizing. Forget about the market bots, the cheaters, wrong stats everywhere, menus, freezes, server issues, all the problems that exist in pretty much every mode of the game, the ridiculous xp path that was nearly impossible to finish and littered with prizes like 250 stubs, — and after all the bs you have to go through to actually play baseball - the pitching and hitting and general gameplay had major problems. I played with my son last night who quit after hitting 3 perfect perfect outs. He got so frustrated saying “what do I have to do.” I hate that the answer is I don’t know. When I open the companion app lately I’m hoping there’s an update that addresses much needed fixes. Being hit with the pop up ads to register for a mobile app version of the game is like a punch to the gut. Then seeing the companion app had 2 App Store updates in under 24 hours to fix something to do with the promotion of the upcoming mobile game is like a total fu. Ofc sds can fix stuff. Ofc they can do it quickly. At least they finally responded to all these problems with a big fu we don’t care. I’m super excited for the new mobile game. NOT!

It feels pointless to join in here and say how out of control the bots are in the market place. The silence from sds on the issue is such a slap in the face. I saw one response in this forum shortly after 26 came out to set the record straight from a sds account that using a bot breaks tos. Besides that I’ve seen no responses to the countless people taking the time to say something online about it. You’d have to think they would assume all the people speaking up are just a tiny fraction of the people upset over this. It’s super clear they do not consider it a problem - for them. Shutting down the app is a bad idea and wouldn’t make any difference for the bots. They are all running on computers and don’t even need the game or app to be active. Just a script scanning the api and reacting faster than any human could. If real monitoring was going on, bot behavior could be identified and banned minutes after being active. I mean, even if they had someone’s whose job was to pop in the marketplace for 10 minutes a day they would be able to identify bots all over the place. Everyday there’s new bot behavior and there will continue to be because anyone that is capable of making something like that sees that they have the green light. It really sucks they allow it. Make a limit of times an offer can be put in on a card in a certain time period or block accounts making offers on the same card instantly after offers come in like clockwork. If 50 offers are put in and 1 account instantly puts in a higher offer - duh, bot. Cheating is out of control and will continue as long as there is silence from sds. This, along with all the other broken things going on is making it more difficult every day to be such a huge fan of the game. My attitude towards the game is starting to shift and it’s sad. I’m not even trying the marketplace today and feel like I don’t even care about these new cards - of players that already have 2-3 cards in 26. What in the… there’s so many players that could be used. Nobody needs 3 cards of the same player all with whack stats. When stats are higher I could see releasing a higher stat version of a player already in the game but this is so dumb. Basically repackaging jolt series with slightly higher stats and killing the reason to do team affinity. Anyways, I wish I was playing the game now but I’m so fed up with it I haven’t turned it on today and ranting here instead. Which is also stupid and pointless.

FWIW I’m still having the issue off and on. It seems like team uniforms with long names are more prone to this glitch but that’s not always the case.

Hi. In companion app when I go to check my current buy or sell orders, scrolling down will get more items to load once or twice until it says end of list - but there are pending orders that aren’t shown. When I navigate to the specific card I’m looking for through completed orders or watchlist I can see there are pending orders but when I go to view my card orders it just brings up a blank page covering the whole phone screen. Leaving me with pending buy/sell orders I have no way to monitor/change/delete. Anyone else encounter this?
