I hit the 500K mark over the weekend and got my first wheel spin. I just play offline DD and RTTS.

@Player99_MLBTS The issue is that you end up with enough team jersey choice packs (4 or 5) from doing the TA program for a team, that you end up with duplicates. There are more picks in those packs than uniforms, so you end up with 1 to 3 duplicate jerseys.

Psy

Didn't have any issues for me last night, I got double XP both when I pitched and also during the next game to where I played 1B. The XP just goes towards DD 1st Inning progress and not towards token production, i.e. if a first pitch strike normally is worth +5 towards the 100 needed for a token, it was still only worth +5 this weekend.

@Onix_Savage22_PSN Market goes down at 3pm EST when they add a program and/or a pack to the store. The Market is also down currently on the website, should be back up by 3:20pm or so.

@Onix_Savage22_PSN I'm just relaying my experience when it happened to me previously and what I am assuming is causing the restrictions to happen. So don't take what I'm saying as 100% gospel, since I have no inside info.

Psy

I do agree that there is a lot more (in my limited experience) errors in the commentary this year. Having the first batter in the game get a hit and the announcers stating that it was the 3rd or 4th hit in a row is bad. I've them announce who is leading the team in the various stats incorrectly is also starting to get annoying.

Psy

@Onix_Savage22_PSN Honestly, I don't know if the number of stubs earned and how quickly is one of the parameters or not. I just know when it happened to me back in 22 or 23 it was due to the speed I was placing or modifying my orders (having mad data entry skills and multiple windows open made it looks like I was using automation). I didn't start using the app until 2024 and now I pretty much just place orders for cards I need to fill out a collection and sell any duplicates of items.

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

@Stinkysman77_MLBTS I don't disagree, I just don't see them doing that, since they haven't done it in the past.

Psy

@theBlindRhino_PSN They are not banned from the game, what is happening is that people are having their account restricted, which means that they can't access the website nor the app for the current year of the game, i.e. MLB the Show 26. They should still be able to log into the game via their console and access the market that way.

Psy

@SiberiaTigerCub_PSN I completely understand what you are saying, and why how they do it, catches both the honest players along with the bad actors at times.

My only suggestion is to slow down. I don't flip anymore. I do sell any duplicates cards or items, but I make sure that I don't place my orders when selling them as fast as I could.

Psy

@SiberiaTigerCub_PSN It is not so much as flipping too much, it is more the speed at which it is being done. If the flipping, placing new orders and modification of orders are being done at what they consider too great a speed (they figure that you are using automation or macros or bots to do the transactions that fast), then you can get an account restriction placed on you to where you can only buy and sell via playing the game on the console. You end up losing access via the website and the app for the year of the game you are doing this in, i.e. MLB the Show 26, but you can still access other versions via the website or app.

The one problem with this is that it can catch honest people who have fast data entry skills, along with the bad actors.

I hate that no one from SDS or moderators can address the issue in ANY way. I mean WTF?!?

I don't think they have ever responded with a group message as to why these happen. If someone turns in a support ticket, they will say that it is due to suspicious activities on the website or app, but I don't think they have ever posted about a large amount of people restricted.

Psy

@Stinkysman77_MLBTS Like Dolenz, I've not had any issues at accessing the website or using the app on the market today. I've sold a few of my dupes without issue. It really seems to be random on who is having issues.

Psy

@jluv0423_MLBTS All I've been doing is selling any duplicates that I pull. Been able to finish 12 of the live series collections so far, it has helped that I've pulled two of the over 50K but under 100K gate keepers and a few of the 30K live series diamonds.

Psy

@mubby_33_PSN I was able to connect to the website just now. So, no issues for me currently.

Access restricted message normally means that there is something going on with your account and you are blocked from accessing the website. My suggestion would be to open a ticket and see what they say.

Psy

I was able to go on just now (Android) and sell some of my duplicate cards.

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.

Psy

@Onix_Savage22_PSN The existing event was extended 30 minutes, new threads event should start around 3:30pm EST.

Psy

It looks like they pushed an update out for the Android version. I was able to get in there this morning and place a sell order. It should now be working, just make sure you update it before trying.

Psy

This looks to have started after the latest application update that was pushed out today on Android. Best suggestion is to submit a bug report.
