Yep same for me. Live series Raleigh. ‍️

They are about making money. No real love for baseball and it shows.

@Sarge1387_PSN

Pretty sure it’s by design to induce chasing and fuel double plays. The late break is extremely unrealistic. Kinda like high sinkers.

@nymets1987_PSN

That’s why investing is pointless because anytime SDS wants to tank the market they can. It’s as easy as putting the card in packs and boom no longer rare. Flipping is viable but investing is a very risky no win move these days.

You can tell the bots easily as they instantly undercut by 1 stub with 2 orders placed and then delete if you cancel your order. It completely kills the market and it’s happening constantly as of today. Needs to be addressed ASAP.

@CoachPappy17_PSN

Disagree with you saying most players should have pulled judge or Ohtani by now. I’m one of many that have opened thousands of free packs and haven’t pulled either.

I had to bite the bullet and spend over 800K stubs during the flash sale last week to get both. No intention to use either card, strictly to complete live series collections.

@LadySwampfox_XBL

It’s likely bots as the generous margins have dried up significantly over the past day or so.

@Good-Talk-Bud_XBL

Which is exactly why they need to just kill all non console transactions. Yes it stinks for the honest players but much like the world we live in the scum bags ruin it for everyone else.

@PsylockeSmythe_XBL

Kill the transactions on everything but the console. It’s time.

It’s time to shut down transactions completely on the app. Keep the app for everything else but make console only transactions moving forward to kill the bots for good. The work arounds only help temporarily before the low life’s program their bots to take over the market yet again.

I’ve long said it’s like combining Rick Vaughn and Greg Maddux. Zero control combined with super dots that clip or just miss the corners. 100% unrealistic and super tedious.

Yeah it does seem to be on the app only as I’ve been getting it myself. Well worth the hassle if it keeps the bits away. Actually been able to flip a bit without constant undercutting.

@Ledfoot_19_PSN

100%. I’d take way less packs if they were actually worth opening.

@Dolenz_PSN

Haha exactly my point. They are so stingy with what you get in packs with almost everything being quick sell garbage.

Would it kill them to at least let us choose the series we want to have a shot at a card we actually need?

It’s amazing that as bad as packs used to be they are far worse now. They give them out like candy but when the contents are awful 99% of the time it defeats the purpose.

At the very least premium reward packs tied to missions should be a choice card or pack.

Just finished the 28 total bases mission with Mauer and my reward was a WBC premier pack with 3 cards at 1.5K stubs each. This happens WAY too often. ‍️

@SDS_JoeK_PSN

Just add offline missions with higher stat requirements and problem solved Joe. It’s as easy as that.

They just keep coming back. The fact 3rd party sites exist at all is mind blowing. As mentioned, if they lowered the price of stubs and additionally increased pack odds they could put all these sites out of business, dramatically reduce bots, and increase player satisfaction 10x while probably making even more money.

@PsylockeSmythe_XBL

Yep, that’s exactly it and why I think they just need to scrap transactions in the app for good. It might stink for some people that like to flip on the app while at work but it’s a small price to pay for the market to function as intended.

@Onix_Savage22_PSN

Yeah I’ve noticed a very small window opening the last 3 weeks where flipping is solid but then it quickly closes and doesn’t come back again for a week. I can only assume it’s bots being shut down and then deploying work arounds. The process just keeps repeating itself. The flash sale helped the latest window on Wednesday but like all others it slammed shut pretty quickly later that night and has not opened back up.

@Ericulous1_XBL

Just thinking any bulk orders on the app could get you flagged as it’s too quick and easy to post which could get you snagged as a bot. I don’t agree with it but it’s the only way I can wrap my head around it. I’ve been focusing nearly all my flipping on the console in the limited time I do have.
