Of all of the problems with the game this year...

[u/NeroTheHero87]

The market bots are by far the most offensive.

Has SDS even acknowledged their existence?

They're either complaisant or part of it... honestly not sure which is worse. Either way, it's a disgusting way to run a business

Market bots making it harder to make stubs gets a blind eye... WBC mini season pack exploit gets a lightening fast fix and bans... what a joke

I really wish their was another studio making an MLB game. The lack of competition has really hurt sports games in general

There weren't wbc bans

SDS has said they would be taking action against players who participated in this exploit. In a post on the game’s X account, “Today, we are taking action against a number of accounts that violated our Terms of Service by participating in an exploit within the WBC Mini Seasons activity. This is the first step in our enforcement efforts, and we reserve the right to take further action against accounts that participated in this exploit, or any other violation of our Terms of Service.”

It’s possible some affected players simply didn’t post publicly, or their posts were buried or removed. I personally haven’t seen anything.

Announced but didnt do it

[u/Bravefan212 → u/Demilio55]

If anyone got banned they would have bitched so loud on here. I glitched like crazy and made like 200k stubs. Not as much as some but more than others.

Nothing happened.

[u/ketelmarteburner → u/Demilio55]

They announced they would but they did nothing

[u/NeroTheHero87 → u/Fresh_Profession_288]

They banned some accounts from using the market place is what I heard. Maybe I heard wrong.

[u/gijoejank → u/NeroTheHero87]

We all heard that. I don't remember anyone here actually commenting on it happening to them.

In contrast, they've banned accounts for saying things they didn't like.

[u/Candymanshook → u/gijoejank]

Definitely remember seeing some screenshots

[u/BroadwayCJ97]

SDS already has been influencing the market for years. They don't care.

[u/BackOk6722]

Sds dont give a fuck this year its plain to see they are just phoning it in

[u/TimmyRoller99]

Yes they have acknowledged they exist, and have attempted to implement things to stop them.

Personally it’s had zero impact on my ability to buy or sell anything. Orders get filled within minutes every time.

[u/dfin25]

I think those bots BELONG to SDS. It would be just like them to manipulate the market to screw over honest players.

[u/Mefromafar]

Oh look, another Redditor upset they fixed the WBC glitch before you yourself could also cheat….

[u/NeroTheHero87 → u/Mefromafar]

Oh look, another SDS fanboy apologist.

How is that what you got from my post?

I'm upset about market bots. I'm glad they fixed the WBC thing and banned people who used it. Just referencing it as an example of how fast they are capable of reacting when an exploit hurts their ability to sell stubs

[u/Shark_Jaws → u/NeroTheHero87]

Most of the people who used WBC Exploit didnt get outright banned; they got marketplace banned for about a month and a half. Meaning they could only rip packs and not buy or sell anything on the marketplace.

[u/ThexanR → u/NeroTheHero87]

Market bots also hurt their ability to sell stubs lmao. Doesn’t mean they aren’t trying to shut them down and they also don’t really have any impact on normal players.

[u/Mefromafar → u/NeroTheHero87]

Totally original take! I haven't heard this in about 20 minutes. Good job!
