Whether it’s in the form of packs, stubs or double xp????? They are usually pretty good with things like that but i can never ever remember it being this bad. I’ve been playing for about 4-5 hours now and i feel like I got absolutely nothing accomplished with moments not counting, mini season win/loss, losing stubs.

Fiancé left for her bachelorette this morning and I’ve been looking forward to this day for weeks…bigger let down than the Padres

This isn't a mess.. believe me

Been playing this game for 9 years every single opening day and I never remember it being this bad.

I'm honestly shocked by this, because just last year was probably the worst opening couple weeks they've ever had with servers...

Anyone else send in a ticket for lost stubs and not hear back? I sent one in Friday and still nothing. It's hilarious they tweet out to send in a support request and no response. Maybe their email servers are like their game servers and our support tickets are disappearing into the abyss as well...

They'll get to it. In the meantime don't got to a forum they actively view and insult them.

Considering I'm missing hundreds of thousands of stubs which is their in game currency and it's been almost a week, yes I will insult them. I'm willing to cut a ton of slack on plenty of game related issues. For example I've not received 3 events wins, not sending a ticket for those. People pay money for stubs, it's not right that is taking them this long to fix it and compensate...

@Pergo_MLBTS

I have previously too, with bots so prevalent on the market to this point...it's very difficult to make meaningful amounts of stubs flipping. I would guess maybe if you grind all the content like crazy and have average pack luck...maybe you could get collections done by July at the earliest, with August or later being more likely. At the end of the day, it's very obvious that SDS intentionally took away all avenues to generate meaningful stubs from the market to try and get players to buy stubs from them.

For the record, I like the game being on xbox and switch and whatever else. More users is better. I'm just not about to feel bad, poor little xbox user, because your early access costs $50 instead of me paying $85.

SDS has gotta do something. Flipping is impossible, today any card with any decent margin, there's a bot that's cancelling 2 bids and replacing with 2 orders 1 stub above mine. It's the same bot on 6 different cards today at least

You must be new

$15...the hill of all hills to die on

Maybe I'm late, but seems blatantly obvious that there are bots on the market. I'll put in bids that get 1 stubbed instantly, even if I pick strange unpredictable amounts. I'm not talking about like 4-5 second later, it literally seems like these bids are coming within half a second of mine posting...too fast for it to be a human. Does SDS do anything about stuff like this? I'm sure it's against their terms of service

@Victor_SDS - This is not the way my guy. You've gotta be able to make this right on your end. Relying on users to not only realize they are missing something, but figuring out how to reach out to get it corrected is asking a lot from your average player of this game when at the end of the day...this is your mistake and therefore your problem. Especially considering often it is children. I reached out on April 1st and first was contacted by SDS support on April 7th. The initial response I received was that this was simply a visual glitch and I didn't really lose any stubs. ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?!?!? I had to comb through my orders in an excel spreadsheet to figure out I was missing 8 items, which I responded nicely and told him the 8 items i was missing. The next day I was compensated 200k stubs roughly which seems fair, except I would have definitely sold those items for almost double that on launch day. I'm less concerned with my resolution, as at the end of the day a ton of people are going to have lost stubs and not be compensated. This policy of yours amounts to literal stealing as people pay real money for stubs. So 12 year old timmy who's parents spent an extra $50 so he could have some stubs to buy some players, all of a sudden loses stubs to your market glitch and probably never gets them back because he probably doesn't cruise through the forums and is unlikely to be following on twitter. Sucks to suck I guess Timmy...right Victor? I'm thoroughly disgusted with your handling of the market/stub glitches and you should be ashamed. I'll give you all the slack in the world for gameplay related issues, but not for literally stealing stubs/money from people and not making it right...

Is anyone having any success flipping with the bots on the market? They are so much worse this year than any other year. I'm genuinely starting to wonder if it's SDS. I have yet to see what looks like bots competing with each other, it's just one bot on every profitable card. If a bunch of people had bots I think they'd compete against each other and it would really be obvious

You know you can manually adjust your fielding alignment right? And you can turn off automatic shifting?

Yeah, that's why you want him...to "finish collection". . All I hear is a guy that can't pitch that wants to exploit a broken game mechanic.

@The_Joneser_PSN

Bruh, investing and flipping do require "work" and were a part of the overall package of the game. You're right about it being their choice to limit to 20 cards, but making the change without telling anyone is baloney and you know it. Additionally, it's hard to say there's any justification for letting bots control the market to limit flipping. The users unleashing bots are without a doubt selling the stubs they make on the secondary market and that's not just bad for people that like to flip cards, it's revenue lost for SDS on stubs. Communication really shouldn't be that hard and they need to do better...

@tear4eddy_PSN No human is capable of removing an order and placing a new order within a fraction of a second...without some sort of tool or macro or bot. If you're a really quick human, you might accomplish it in 2-3 seconds.

1 run game, 1B was open, a lefty was on the mound, and a lefty was on deck. The move makes perfect baseball sense. Cabrera should’ve just gotten a hit earlier in the game lmao.

What happened after the IBB makes your argument pointless. For the sake of respect Miggy should've been allowed to try for a hit. Besides there were two outs anyway and he'd already struck out twice. It's called sportsmanship.

The Yankees got MLB The Showed 22

you mean the next at bat when meadows hit a texas leaguer that landed perfectly between ss/lf/cf? yes sir you are correct, and you gotta love to see when being a ninny gets punished...

For this type of thing, SDS should figure this out on their own and get people the correct stuff. I've been flipping and I've lost probably 4 or 5 cards totaling at least 100k stubs to just disappearing. I shouldn't have to go through my orders and figure this out. Can't exactly ahve people pay for stubs and then lose them to a glitch, and expect it to be their responsibility to reach out and have SDS review. That's [censored]

@magic1313_xbl said in Xbox Gamepass Early Access Package insanely overpriced:

For those that don't want to go back and read the actual complaint, here is the summary.
The complaint is about the pricing on the Gamepass Early Access Price

Package includes
($20) = 10 show packs (1 pack = 1k stubs) + 10k Stubs I can go to The Show store and buy 24k stubs for $20 after release so value is less
($15) = Early Access + 2 Gold Choice Pack + 1 Ballplayer Pack + Double Daily login rewards (Value based on $70 version benefits vs $85 benefits, missing the Diamond player pack so again value a little less

That is a total of $35 using SDS own valuation of each item. The price of the Package is $50, the question is, What is the extra $15 for?

Maybe it's priced high intentionally to give a bit of an advantage to PS customers. After all, xbox customers get it for free on gamepass and that's a bad look considering it was a PS exclusive for so long.

I'm also trying to figure out how $35 vs $50 is "insanely overpriced". I think me and OP have very different definitions of "insane".

As much as the servers haven't been where they should be, this has to be the best launch day they've had in 5 years minimum. They've set the bar so low for themselves over the years that I've genuinely been pleased with the servers so far, aside from of course losing at least 100k stubs to missing orders.

By doing nothing, SDS is saying using a bot is OK and there will be no consequences. I guess if you want to compete and be able to use the market, use a bot.
