The Market

[biggio7]

I may be in the minority around here but I'm disappointed in what occurred with the market change. I wasn't the stub fairy but I actually liked the market how it was with the high supply and demand. Granted some things were crazy with the random FAs but that made it fun too. I'd love turning it on the next day to see if anybody bought something for a crazy price. It made the experience more enjoyable.

If it didn't take so long to earn stubs by playing games and such, I wouldn't be disappointed with the market change or how it is now. That's my biggest problem with this mode. I already spent $60 on the game itself, I think it's unfair and shouldn't be expected of anybody to waste more money into a game for packs/card. I hate it on Madden and I hate it on here. Madden is a little different because you earn coins by completing challenges etc. And not just let me catch this ball 200 times and sit here keep hitting the x button.

I'm sure The Show will add to this mode and make it even better next year. I'm not worried about that because they always make the game better each year and I love them for it. I was just really enjoying the idea of the bigger market and how things were going. I understand people were at a disadvantage whom had just bought the game, but that's still fun too. I wouldn't have minded. I didn't start playing DD till June so I was way behind but I caught up by August. It was a lot of fun and I'd wish to see it back to how it was. I might be in the minority but I just wanted my opinion out there.

I get why they did what they did because it was mostly scammers who had millions of stubs.

However I loved the challenge of building my team up from nothing to a lineup with 5-6 legends like I have now. It was a grind. Deciding whether to use the 10,000 stubs on packs, or a certain guy I really want or seeing if I can fill out a whole collection. That made this mode great and it still is but I never minded the market but I completely understand why they did it.

Re: The Market

Yeah I agree the occasional big sale is fun but it got to a point where everyone was cashing in and now every team is stacked and looks the same. Before things got out of hand, I had no intention in going after Trout, Posey, etc but now I have these guys without much effort.

I was able to use the marketplace to build my team before the Community Challenges got out of hand and I didn't need to spend any money. I think completing collections helped.

Re: The Market

I haven't been messing with it, but has there been a steady decrease in prices and movement on the market since Madden came out? Meaning, are more people over there now so stuff doesn't sell and whatnot?

Some people have definitely gone down, but between the makret exploding, the markey crashing back down with all the free packs and limits they added, other games, and everything else, there's really no direct way to attribute it. Golds are way cheaper than they used to be though (as an example, I bought Lester for the Cubs collection at around 10k in June or July, he's currently worth around 2k.)

Re: The Market

I only need a couple more cards from the Phillies to complete all collections and I'm almost afraid of losing what stubs I have left to get them. Is the turnaround still quick on a buy or sell?

I haven't played for a while but it depends on the card. Like I always hit Darren O'day for the Phillies for some reason and others not so much.

tell me about it. I was sure that some foggy-brained stoner would purchase Laughing Mountain Park for $420, but no one has bitten.

And why is no one buying my second card of Joakim Soria? That guy is amazing in this game. The cutter/curveball combo is untouchable.

Re: The Market

DD phased out a while a ago; mode was flawed. Once Madden and some other games premiered plus some upcoming releases, the game no longer attracts interest.

Re: The Market

i play it, never wait long for games, a lot of people play it still

Re: The Market

I haven't done anything with DD in a while after everything got watered down. I too noticed that it really seemed dead too. The market isn't as enjoyable as it was when the crazy prices and such was going on. I really enjoyed the mode during those times.

I miss what it was. Hopefully next year they won't water it down like this.

Re: The Market

I lost interest once they capped the stub amount you can have and the auction max price.


I know it got out of hand, but to be honest it was kinda fun even tho I don't know what I was gonna do with all the stubs.


After I checked the auction I would play a game and then go back to the auction. Now I don't even turn the game on except for weekly updates.


Ironically I would probably be playing the game more if they would have never let it get out of hand in the 1st place.

Re: The Market

When the market was crazy I signed on every day and spent hours enjoying it. After the caps were put in place and challenges were removed I haven't turned the game on in weeks. They had a pretty good thing going and killed it fast by removing all the fun. If next year has the same restrictions as now, I'm not even gonna bother.

Re: The Market

Just a reminder that completing collections should help make the game a little bit more enjoyable. It took me about a day or two to complete four collections. I then landed my first my first decent card in a while by getting Pedroia which helped pay for some of the collections I went after.
