@rubicante23_PSN I don't play online period. My 14 year old self would be the same, there were no online games when I was 14 
I stopped playing any multiplayer mode games back in the Quake days due to cheats and I have no desire to start playing them now.
Psy
Yep, looks like I won't be doing this one, since it requires you to play online to get past the easy missions.

@MarioMendoza935_XBL I didn't have any issues originally this morning when I placed a bunch of sell orders for any of my duplicates that I received from opening packs last night. Since then, I've installed a bunch of updates, and the companion app was also updated and now it crashes when placing an order. I'm also on Android.
So I'm guessing something in the update this morning broke something.
I went ahead and submitted a bug report this morning.

@Ch-76-1908_PSN As I see it, the only true solution would be to remove access to the market from both the website and the mobile app and force everyone to do everything market wise via the console. Which would then have everyone complaining because doing the market via console is slow and cumbersome compared to the website and app. Though if they removed it from the app and left the website with the Captcha, it would more than likely reduce the number of bots by a large amount, since I feel that the app is the real enabler of the bots.
There are other things, like putting a time limit between order entries, i.e. having to wait a minute or more between order entries or adjustments, but that just slows everyone down also and are not really a solution.

@soonermagic78_XBL You have to make sure that showtime is enabled, because you need to do the swim move when sliding. It took me a bit to figure that part out when I did it earlier in the week.

I ended up with 2 Willie May's Packs and 42 non and later. Going to submit a bug report and not open them all, until I hear back.

@Girldad04_PSN Can't answer about the twitch drops, but according to support (I submitted a ticket), the Now and Later packs were being rolled out and should all be distributed by the 18th. If you don't have them by the 18th, then you will need to submit a support ticket.
I only received 17 of the 26 packs, so I'm still missing 9 of them. If I don't have them by tomorrow, I'll reply to my ticket letting them know.

I'll say this again, the only real way I see that they can fix this is to remove the marketplace from the app and webpage. Both are too easy for people to setup scripts and macros to do automated transactions.
That is why when the app is down, the marketplace starts to normalize until the app starts working again and then it goes back to frustrating.
Psy
Per the news section of the website:
Lastly, Friday, March 27th brings the first Roster Update focusing on Transactions, intended to align your MLB The Show 26 rosters with the current MLB rosters.
Roster Updates focusing on Transactions will occur weekly while Roster Updates focusing on Attributes will occur every 3 to 5 weeks, after the first Attributes Update, throughout the season. The first Attributes Update of the season is currently scheduled for Friday, May 8th.
So my guess around 3pm EST for the update the drop.

@DrBear100_PSN I agree that if the player base was told the rules on the cool down period, it would lower the number of complaints. The issue would be that the bot makers would then know how to program them to get around the restriction. With the restriction being random, it is harder for bots to avoid getting caught.
Psy
@Joho16_PSN Working for me, the inventory screen is running slow, but I was able to get into the other screens like normal.
Psy
@VENOM1120_PSN The now and Later packs are on the 18th, they kept saying on Wednesday's and Thursday's stream that the twitch packs will be available immediately on first login during early access, but that hasn't happened for anyone.
Psy
@yankblan said in Live Content Stream:
PCT? Pacific Coast Time?
Yes, so 11am on the west coast, 2pm on the east coast.
Psy
To be honest, I don't see them stating what the parameters are. As soon as they do that, the people who program or write the scripts that the bots use, will know how to get around the parameters and we are back to a bot filled market.
My only suggestion is to go slower when placing your orders. I'm assuming that the speed at which the orders are being placed or modified, along with the number of orders placed in a very short amount of time are some of the parameters being used to see if any type of automation is being used from the players.
Psy
@Rubbaneck34_XBL As stated the Twitch Drops should work right from the get go, but some people have had trouble receiving the drops in the past.
Last year was the first year for me that the App actually worked during the prerelease period. In prior years, I wasn't able to get the App to work until the actual release day.
Psy
@ksigstretch_MLBTS I did the tutorial this morning before work and opened some packs and bounced around in the UI. I updated the app after this and when I got into work, launched the app and while I could get around some screens, others would show that I needed to play DD for the app to work.
I ended up closing the app and then restarted my phone. From that point forward, I was able to see all the screens and had access the market and pages.
You might want to try restarting your phone and see if that works.
Psy
@MarioMendoza935_XBL Unless something changed since they announced on both Wednesday's and Thursday's live stream that Twitch packs would be available at first login of early access. I've not seen anything since then that states that they are now delayed until the 18th.
Psy
Not a fan of the soundtrack, but I'm old and don't listen to the radio or anything that came out in the last 30 years.
Psy
@Nhhh7818_XBL Working for me. I'm on Android.
Psy
I got one to go for sure (headl1ner), the pipeline one said it worked but not showing and the 5XSHOW is giving me invalid code.
