Why Chipper RIGHT AFTER A 99 Jose Ramirez?

@MichiganMan9545_XBL said:

Before I start, I understand you guys are trying to clean up the market, and I appreciate it. I also understand the moderators on this site are not necessarily who is at fault. However, the reality is that the mess in the marketplace is SDS fault and not the players.

Were the measures being put in place not sufficient?
Were they not proactive enough?

I have no idea, and I’m not trying to guess.

However, looking across this forum, Reddit, and others a number of long time players (including myself) have been banned for getting flagged caught in the middle of people trying to stub transfer/market manipulate. It would be one thing if these cases were looked into more closely, we were provided an actual explanation, or even if the ban length was a reasonable temporary time period.

That is not the case. You’re hit with a 3 year ban. You are give zero explanation of what you did. Then when you create a ticket (as advised by the game and multiple people working in this forum), you wait close to a month for a generic response that says quote:

“Your access has been restricted following a review of account activity that indicates non-standard marketplace usage.”

To make matters worse the game costs at minimum $69.99, and the ban doesn’t allow you to play offline. How is that even remotely fair?

The reality is the algorithm used to detect marketplace cheaters is clearly flawed, and tje company’s response leaves us left to believe SDS simply does not care about getting it right, but banning cheaters with zero remorse for the casualties of honest players in the process.

I don’t know what it will take to get an actual response, conversation, or explanation from someone, but I intend on pressing the issue until this is addressed. I’ve given up hope like others in getting my account back, but I won’t stand back idly and let others be misinformed.

No one thinks it will happen to them until it does and then you’re left without any help. Be careful in the market place everyone. “Buy low, sell high” only is fine when you don’t get caught in the wrong market at the wrong time.

Technically the 3 yr ban is only for this year's version of the game.

But I do understand the frustration with the lack of communication on SDS's part.

You could just do what everyone else did and make a secondary PSN account and start over on that account.

And as long as you make the new account a secondary account; you dont need to buy the game again or buy another PS+ sub.

HOF Beltran is my CF. I had Beltran in RF and Trout in CF. But I switched because Beltran can cover more ground is a little better defensively.

Oops. That's whom I meant. No idea why I called it an Awards card.

@DrBear100_PSN said:

I have Griffey in LF and the Awards Trout in RF. Trout is amazing ,love his cards, always worth the stubs!

Who's in Centerfield? Awards Beltran?

Coming 10/26

BRING BACK IMMORTALS

Content this year is the worst it’s ever been. Nothing good us coming

I still think, and this is just a hunch, that they told the content team "You need to create content for two games now and you are not getting any extra people to accomplish that."

By the way, when Ashley and Carson ended the last live stream and said they would be back but they were not sure when, I was expecting it to be this year. They are not even bothering with the pre-recorded videos we got last year during off weeks

Correct me if I'm wrong; but didn't they stop the Live Content Streams shortly after the Mobile Game dropped?

Makes me wonder if they "moved" them to that game.

@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN

What about him? He is included in the list, 2 cards with his best being a 97. Better that about 100 guys on the list.

But thanks, it pointed me to another error.

Zach Thornton - Topps Now
Zac Thornton - Live

Just seems sloppy both on SDS' part for not being able to sync the name of these players and me for not proofing it and catching it before.

Sorry, that was meant to come out as whom I'm waiting for a 99. Hopefully with the Red Sox.

@Dolenz_PSN said:

Since the conversation in the Retro WS discussion has turned to Legends. I thought I would take another look at them and see where we stand.

Kind of surprising to see how many still have their best card at 90 or below and how many of those have only had a single card (as indicated by the number after their name). That includes big names like Lou Gehrig Willie Mays and Randy Johnson.

70 out of 111 legends who do not have a 99 card have only received a single card so far this year. You have to assume that the ones at 88 or below were all released as soon as the game launched.

@sbchamps17_NSW said:

The show classic cards don't count towards it so you have to use the 14 cards from the Postseason collection

Boo! Lol. Thanks.

@Onorato21_PSN said:

Wonder if it will be guys in the playoffs. The postseason collection left out Jram, Betts, and alot of other guys who are doing extremely well for guys nobody seems interested in.

J-Ram will be part of the 2026 PS Collection.

@Jacob151167_XBL said:

It's too bad; I'll never collect enough cards to get him. I hope he is as good as I imagine. He should be, and I really hope they switch things up next year. These collection requirements may not feel quite as bad as '18, but they're really not fun at all; boring and mindless grinding is never fun, SDS.

If you finish the Postseason Programs you get all the cards needed.

The mission states that you'll receive a Premier Choice Pack once you earn 9,000 PXP with Postseason players.

It then states that 2026 PS players aren't eligible.

Can we use the Show Classic players that we earn from the Retro Postseason programs?

Or do we have to use the PS players from 14 card collection that includes 97 OVR Lance Berkmam?

Are we still getting the option to choose from TWO Live Series low Diamonds in Vault Packs this late in the cycle.

Heck, I wouldnt care if we got the option to choose NS versions of Chase Packs in a Vault Pack.

Anyway, thanks for letting me choose between LS Glasnow and LS Yamamoto!

@SaveFarris_PSN said:

Premier New Threads pack:

Why aren't you saving these packs for new drops?

I have at least 20 of these and a handfull of Ultra ones.

I'm nit opening them until there's new packs available.

@Jacob151167_XBL said:

Is there a way for me to add the new legends that were added toward the middle or end of the game cycle without having to completely restart my roster and import everyone again? It was the Legends Restoration Project; you would think there would be an easy method to rectify this in 2026, but I assume there is not. Let me know, guys.

From what I understand is that everytime you want to add new players, to an existing roster, you have to start a new season.

@beatlesnews_PSN said:

It looks like you can't to me.

Check your lineups. Including MS and Events.

@ProHduHGee_PSN said:

So i was in the shop the other day and was selling cards... well i figured something out and made over 3.5 million stubs in the shop. i was thinking of a way somehow to start something where instead of people buying 150k stubs for $100 they could pay me $100 to make them 600k stubs? It would be 4x the amount you would normally get. yes i know i would have to login your account and what not but i seriously wouldnt mind doing this and helping people out. at the end of the day to im getting paid to simply grind in the auction house and reward someone with 4x the normal amount. whether this post is even allowed or not or gets deleted i seriously want to figure out how to start this and make it a full time job... i live in NC and currently am having a hard time finding full time work and why not make money playing the game and helping people out as well. add me on PS5 ProhDuHGee , i can show you guys proof or whatever you need to understand im serious about this and legit and not trying to scam anyone.. i literally just got all the best cards in the game from doing this hard for a few days in a row NO MONEY SPENT AT ALL! .

Enjoy the upcoming ban.

@SDS_JoeK_PSN

The overall XP counter continues, the issue is that we don't get any progress on the wheel, meaning there's 25-30k of earned XP that goes into the ether and we're all missing one entire wheel spin.

In my time playing the game, the wheel always starts when you get the boss, that is not the case here.

I know it's not much as we're most likely to get a 5-pack or 2.5k stubs, but suggesting it's merely a "visual bug" is either misunderstanding the issue or being disingenuous.

I think its because the had the Boss Packs at 275K this IP instead of the normal 300K.

Hey all.. the game has dropped to $17 on the xbox store. Worth getting at that price? I play 25 still. Exclusively offline player. Mostly franchise. Worth getting now? I’ve seen lots of negative stuff about this year . TIA.

My view? It's rather much like one of those made-for-TV ads where you get a second one for free. If the item itself is truly quality, then you don't need to give any of it away! And if it is not good, then getting it from free still doesn't give you value.

Take this advice with a grain of salt. Poster is [censored] hurt and hasnt even played 26, yet still feels the need to come on here and complain about the game.

Seriously though, what @onix_savage22_psn said is the advice you should take.

If you only olay franchise, unless you want this year's schedule, its not worth changing.
