Nothing, probably just a glitch. Happened last year with the Neon programs, too. It’ll probably get fixed soon

@Teak2112_MLBTS I don’t think we can make any logical, evidence-based conclusion on why Ohtani’s price is so high.

100% agreed

Even I’ll agree with this. Everything is speculative at best because it could be any number of things causing it.

Well the 20 card max is feeding the inflated prices. Less cards being available combined with “only” being able to hold 20 is driving them up. Which is interesting because in theory, it should have been helping keep prices down.

You are just posting nonsense in hope that someone believes it.

Some guy on the internet said Shohei's price is because of the 20 card max, it must be true!

“In essence, capping how much someone can buy does not increase the actual supply. It simply changes who gets the product, often transferring it to the "highest bidder" in a secondary, more expensive market.”

It’s called “rationing”. It’s basic economics. Low supply + limit + high demand = higher prices. I’ve accepted the cap and it really doesn’t bother me, because I typically don’t finish the LS collection til later. It does bother me because I’m primarily NMS, so in that sense it hurts my ability to make the stubs in order to complete it, even with completing programs and getting stubs.

There’s also a chance that down the road the more positive side of the cap comes into play…

I wholly understand what SDS thought they were doing: “Limits can act as a substitute for price increases, allowing stores to manage inventory without raising prices during moderate shortages”, according to a simple summarized google search. Basically they were hoping it would have this affect on the in game market.

Well the 20 card max is feeding the inflated prices. Less cards being available combined with “only” being able to hold 20 is driving them up. Which is interesting because in theory, it should have been helping keep prices down.

CPU defense definitely needs nerfing, unless it’s hit sharply right down the line, they dive to catch it. It’s really annoying.

I’m more concerned with the outrageous defense the CPU is playing with right now. 6,7,8 diving catches a game on gappers and stuff in the hole.

They’ve gotta tone that down a bit I think.

Yeah I don’t buy it (no pun intended) from those guys. I’m NMS and I play a ton 60/40 offline to online…and I’ve still got the gatekeepers to go. I’ve only earned maybe 50,000 stubs total? I’ve lucked out with a couple gatekeepers (Soto, Chapman) from packs but I still have the big boys to go.

I know @aaronjw76_mlbts does it legit because he’s helped me out with flipping strategies in the past…but most of the people claiming they did it NMS within two weeks are absolute liars.

Wait till tomorrow,there will be a flash sale for double the stubs at half the price

Lmao staahp. Poor dude probably went to the store this morning

@DemIsE4_XBL

Played a team in coop last night that had suspiciously perfect eyes. Even a tw@t-hair off the plate and no swing, but anything barely in the zone was P/P’d for a no doubter. And look, I get it I’m nowhere near great, if I’m lucky I max out around 600 so I’m gonna lose my share due to my own mistakes…but every hit was a HR. I do think they were running something for sure.

Common? Not really, that’s maybe the second one I’ve come across outside of BR or events in the last three years that I’ve really thought was cheating

@Stinkysman77_MLBTS only works for pitching, giving you 100% input each time. Someone who can hit can still beat it. So far nothing has been efficient on the hitting side.

There’s a few out there, they pop up on my FB reels from time to time. They basically swing for you and/or calculate the pitch location/read where the opponent is aiming. Same ones work from the pitchers side too, to see where the batter might be keyholing

@mubby_33_PSN said:

This type of speculation would stop if SDS would just say something. No way I got banned for flipping because I dont flip.

It’s not flipping, it was a generic Bot sweep. Flipping itself isn’t against any part of the ToA or EULA.

Don’t buy stubs, ever.

I'm just postulating here ...

but I'd bet the farm SC would get a whole lot better if they stopped allowing people to use them in online games.

I’ve always been in favour of keeping them out of H2H games, if it meant we’d have an improved creator. Only thing I’d like is to keep it available in DD for Games vs CPU and mini seasons.

Wander Franco- now there’s a guy who never got out of the minors.

I don’t understand why they refuse to upgrade/update SC with basic QoL stuff. I mean, the stadium creator on MLB MVP 2005 had more customization in terms of the walls and field of play etc. I just don’t understand it

I will still buy it in 27’ because as I mentioned before I do enjoy ranked and co-op with my friends.

Even in games vs CPU, I’ve had several “that’s not where my PCI was” moments. It’s kinda baffling. I’m not one of the believers, but this is the kind of visual stuff that the “scripted AB” crowd goes on about.

Lots of inflated prices again too, which isn’t helping. Even the low diamonds are through the roof right now.

Hey, they tried something new. I think both this and the way to get Nimmo were big whiffs.

But trying to reward people who want to play events a bit more is a good idea, so hopefully they try again with something a little less absurd.

Get out of here with that sensible and logical take. Those aren’t allowed here. /s

Seriously, I agree with you. I think they tried something new for the first time in a while. It was a swing & a miss, but at least it was something different. I think 40,000 XP in the event is indeed absurd, but I will give them credit for trying something different.

I personally didn’t have the time to put into it.

I think it’s because this year we’re starting with stronger batters, where last year it felt like the pitchers were stronger out of the chute.

However, to your point: there is a bug that seems to be making its return, and that’s the one where any miss whatsoever defaults to the outermost region of the PAR.

Teleporting pitches has been a problem online for years. It’s a serverside issue, unfortunately
