Sorare MLB

[Gibberish]

ANYONE else play this? I have questions I ASSUMED you leveled up a card and it progressed to the next tier, i was incorrect. Now I want to do over as I PICKED based on my assumption. So rather than go fast and cookie cutter, I went for long term picks with a drift towards specific recent call ups...which is HORRIBLY hit or miss while the callup adjusts.

Anyway. I want to create a second account with an alternate email. send the pile of purchase cards Ive bought, delete my account, then recreate with MY normal email, then resend all of the cards back and then delete the 2nd account.

Anyway, input if you play...if Im alone..ill find a discord to ask :P

I just discovered it a couple days ago so I probably can't answer your questions. I drafted my common cards and entered the "prospect" tournament to see how it works. It seems fun, but I haven't decided yet if I want to try putting money into it to buy limited cards.

I figured it out. I created new account, stacked my commons team, then traded the 60 or so limiteds I had gotten to the new account. I have no idea why I thought the commons would level to Limited, but that got stuck in my head for 2 weeks

IT SEEMS the trick is to build, use your daily to upgrade when you can, as well as enter prospect yoru 1st week and hope you stacked correctly or the gods were not against you, win a T1 common. Next round field 1 solid team and 1. if you got lucky on your 1st win and yanked a reliever , MEH team, to aim for a T1 with team 1 and a T3-T5 with team 2.

APPARENTLY, if you take your time and follow the sport like I USED TO...The hours I would invest...You can do reasonably well in building a limited team In a few months without buying. Me, well, I treated it like Baseball cards, and went rookie crazy I have 4 non-rookies and 50+ RCs not the best way to win, mind you, but well like Yennier Cano. I picked up 4 of him at 1.15 to 1.65. He then did REAL well in 2 appearances and 13.00 a pop. Which, granted , is a low yield, but, to me, I see growth I see value even though I probably wont sell any of my cards. I've picked up a few guys for under 2.00 and saw 8-15.00 tags pretty quick. But, we know how sports work. hot today, triple A tomorrow

It DOES have 1 kick that I like in that a vet has value for what he can do VS just being "another card" in the hobby. I am going to roll with it, spend a hundred here and there, pile up, and see how I do as it appears to REALLY throw down and complete for the rare items will cost a few thousands in order to have multiple line-ups to cover several forms of play weeks and match-ups. So, will take tiem and see if I can get the hang of it and have fun before going full tilt

I started playing sorare nba at the all star break and was hooked. Played limited mainly. Common for NBA was not very fun because you didn’t get to draft your initial common team like you do in baseball. I started baseball at the beginning of the season. Luckily I used the correct strategy and got a few top level tier 1 commons to start and filled in the rest of my starting common team with low level players. It’s hard to win tier one commons.

I don’t understand why sorare is not absolutely huge. It is so much fun. Combines cards and fantasy sports, two things I love and assumed there would be tons of others around her who did too. I started a thread about it on the blowout nba forum and nobody cares. I was very surprised.

My strategy is to play limited this year and see if I can win or find a good prospecting rare card or two to move into rare next year. I’m taking the long road. For baseball I am going mainly budget picks in limited focusing on younger players with bright futures. I did get a couple of good values recently. Got a yelich and Bieber for under 10 which I thought were stupid good deals. I have enough players in limited to play one of the all star/pro games and then both al and nl each week.

Two GW ago I had a huge win and finished 1st out of 25,000 in common all star. Won a T1 limited Jose Ramirez. Huge win for me. Baseball takes a lot of luck. That win was with my B team. My best team I had in common minors. The same team with a different starting pitcher (who scored higher than my starter when I finished 1st) finished 15,000 the next game week the week after finishing 1st.

Hopefully some other folks will post on here and there can be a good sorare thread here. The sorare discord is probably the best place to talk with other people playing. Seems most are from outside of the US that game to mlb from sorare soccer. My user name on sorare is Uncbuddha. Take a look at my gallery. I’ll be happy to trade. Still just don’t understand why sorare has not just exploded in popularity. It is so much fun.

No wins yet, but not a lot of effort. I did buy a Pack, but only because last sales per was 71.82, so it was a wash or better and I didn't have to dig

I grabbed a walls and a few others, so with last night's low point, solid pitching games in all but 4 instances, I ended up with 9 to 35 points across all but common. It was laughable, but I am a playing ball card collector, so not a massive deal.

Yah, I spent 300 yesterday on a pack and a pile of singles. I am also surprised it's not hopping on the forum here. Fantasy ball, collecting, and crypto seems to hit a slew of people's trifecta, but meh. I also worry if too many hop over there. Imagine a few hundred of the heavy spenders here showing up there. Would make the market size up Judge would go from 150 to 400

In retrospect, I should have bought Acuna instead of 5 Arcias and 2 Taylor Walls. I do not do fantasy or have not, so I find myself making Ball card collector mistakes when I try to win a game. I will figure it out or piss away so much money that I stop trying to win a game

So, Incase you are keeping tabs, 600 spent and not a limited card won yet. I have met people who have won multiples with less than 300 spent, so yes.....I suck at comprehending fantasy ball

[Uncbuddha]

With that many cards you are bound to put together a lineup to win you something in limited at some point.

I won one tier one limited when I finished 1st in common all star. Got Jose Ramirez. He sells for around 45-50 so that was a good win. In AL/ NL I won a tier 3 and a tier 4 limited. I put in about 150.

I have

AL
Corner: Jose Ramirez (tier 1 reward), jace Peterson
Middle: mj melendez (his 2022 card qualifies at 2b)
oF: bleday, laureano, teoscar hernandez (t3 reward), g stanton, Riley green
Sp: Bieber, berrios, cheap, crappy A’s starters (my fav team)
Rp: Gregory santos, John Schroeder (tier 4 reward)

NL
Corner: Flores, Nelson Cruz (tier 5 reward)
Middle: India, turang
Of: yelich, Canha, profar
Sp: snell, Matz, manaea, ashcraft
Rp: Phillips, puk, Seranthony dominguez

Need to upgrade NL corner and add another NL OF. Need to upgrade AL RP. Then Just talent upgrade all around.

If you look up the account paweltrader he will usually trade quantity for quality. He’ll win the overall value in the deal but is sometimes easier than trying to sell a bunch of low dollar cards of players that aren’t producing or sent down to the minors.

Well, I DID go a bit over board this week, and dropped another 400.00, but not in the direction msot owuld have gone. No Judge, Acuna, Shohei, etc

I went and spent several hours on the mlb sites, looking at games, based on current above average hitting, and plotted this weeks game.

I am ranked #1 in All Star limited right now I AM HOPING it holds. Siri, DeJong were 2 I picked up and slotted to that team which I would not have considered before. I think I have Steer on EVERY team though I snagged his the 3 days they came out. Now to see if Profar and Doyle deliver. Profar was a "This is what I got" card at the last minute. I have 2 Doyles and have added him to Allstar and Pro for the last 2 rounds and its been ok.

I am kicking around the idea of grabbing Corbin. but man 50.00 for a RC...yeesh

[Uncbuddha]

Whoa, #1 on all star limited would be a huge win. Are you buying and selling a lot or buying and holding everything? I haven’t sold much. Trying to take the challenge of winning on a small budget. I do need to get better at a few positions. My strategy is to try to out my best teams unlimited Al and limited NL to win some more limited cards. Make sure I have a really good team before I try out limited pro or limited all Star again. I’ve not had very good luck in those.

Have you tried sorare NBA. It is a lot of fun too. I did pretty well in that one and ended up with some big name limited cards. I’m going to try to move up to rare in NBA next year. nba strategy is very different. It is salary cap based

[jduds]

The big problem I see with it is it is fantasy sports, but with most of the players locked from the new users. I lost interest super quick.

Huh?

For the free play bracket, all players are unlocked. Perhaps you drafted incorrectly?

For the person, on day 1, who wishes to start investing, there is literally no player you cannot buy.

Nothing is locked. Are you sure it was sorare?

So, example:The referral link I posted. If someone joins from it, and it's capped at 3 joins, they have to buy 7 cards to get the free card. The free card is topped out at a T3.

So if a person wants to build their idea of an Allstars team with Judge, Acuna,Shohei, etc, they can on day 1. I assume you are familiar with fantasy? I wasn't Anyway, play to player transactions are ETH only. You can buy it through them or use what you have, if you have any.

The auction cards can be paid for with ETH or a debit card.

Per the "Commons leagues" which means cards that cannot be sold or traded, you get 120 points to build a team with. My team is below. I have to win to swap, to upgrade. Takes 4 game weeks, which is 14 RL days, to have enough cards to field 2 teams.

I am not at a 2nd team yet because I can't get a danged pitcher worth slotting for 2nd team

So, as you will see below, no players are locked for new players, hence my question of are you surenit was sorare

I do mess with the NBA, but I don't follow it so I don't buy cards. I just do the common league. I expect baseball will have 80-90k players by the end of this year or next, so I've been investing.

I have flipped a few cards. I saw Dejong getting hot and bought 2 packs and 3 of his 2022 card and 1 more 2023. I swapped 1 for that RC from the dodgers whose name is escaping me, thats selling at 25 to 28, which was me trading a 15 dollar card for a 25 dollar card. I traded 1 of the 2022 for a Bregman and sold the other 2 for 20.00 ea and kept the 1 I bought at 12 and the q left from the pack to slot. He got me 46 points on this Allstars run.

I slipped out of 1st, as I expected z and just finished up at 92. So tomorrow will see what my T3 reward is. I'm getting the hang of this slowly.

I can see where people who REALLY know their business could buy 2 to 10.00 cards and field winning teams that pull in Y1 and T2, but that ain't me

I mean I slotted Kopech at the suggestion of another member and he pulled 46 points. He was like a 3.00 card. They re-enable the ability to see all winners from T1 to T5 and I'm going to browse points and see how cheap a team could be to have won FOR THAT WEEK...as I know the same 7 guys could end up dead last next week But it will be knowledge that I dont have.

I HAVE been buying up cheaper red RCs and am going to see how it does on tomorrow's set. I slotted junk I had picked up, 2 were inactive, and.ended up 49nppibts short of T5, so I'd like to fine tune and figure that out.

I am TRYING to keep it under 1k spent this 1st year. That means I need more focus on trading. I also have to keep telling myself 1/5000, 1/1000, 1/500 are just cards, that this isn't baseball card collecting as I have pissed away a 150 + just buying the 1st if the run, which has not helped me at all

I am gobbling up cheap RCs as well as realizing MOST of these people do not follow minor leagues and if a call up is on MLB news, then they know about a guy. Players from 2022 , who didn't make the cut in spring, are mostly forgotten. So I've picked up a larger pile of players I know are in AAA batting 350+ or with a .90 WHIP to prepare for next year.

More card guys or prospect fans start playing and that well will dry up, so I am investing and trying to play, more or less, with a focus on investing.

That is a good strategy for the 2022s. I find the market moves pretty quickly with young guys that do well though. I’m a big A’s fan and wanted a Mason Miller but his 1st few cards at auction went for way more than I thought they should. And now he’s hurt.

You can also get injured players cheap too. Baseball is a long season. Sometimes people freak out if someone is out for 6 weeks and you can pick them up cheap. 6 weeks is not that long in terms of a 162 game season (or an 82 game NBA season, got a KD cheap that way). Doesn’t always work for superstars but some of the supporting players that can help you field a solid team and roster.

I’m trying to build a roster with some light prospecting. I don’t really want to spend each game week based on matchups. I would like to have enough to play NL and Al limited every week and limited pro. Try to win some limited cards to sell/trade/use and eventually work my way up to playing rare.

Congrats on your finish for a t3 this game week. I tried putting my best players in limited pro. Didn’t win anything. I am going to focus on Al and NL limited to try to win more cards for now instead of being tempted by the limited pro rate and Eth rewards.

I did get a Gorman yesterday. Traded some cheap cards to add to some Eth to get the price down. I like his eligibility at CI or MI and his potential. Also picked up sewald relatively cheap tonsure up my AL bullpen for the next few weeks before he likely moves back into a set up roll (although Santos had a great GW for me).

For other folks reading this thread all I can say is if you like fantasy baseball this game has a lot of strategy and team building involved and you are missing out on a lot of fun if you are not playing.

The auction prices higher makes sense as you can buy A card, with your debit. With crypto you have to trust something you're not familiar with in some cases, as well as send money to some weird company named moonpay ...which that sounds like a Triple A business, and it spooks people. With bank your in for the card cost. With crypto you're in for an amount starting at 30.00 and going up.

Here are my lineups. The brujan was is click, was supposed to be Candelaria, oh well

The rare pro is janky. Fielded a team with 1 inactive red, 2 DNPs and decent other players and ended up 61 points from a T5 reward. So that class has a lot of bad cards being used so I'm putting out test teams to learn it better. That team cost 24.00 to make and I am going to see if I get within 20 points if not on a T5. If it pans out I will spend another 50 and see if I can lock a T5 in with a shot at T4s. A crap T5 will sell for 3.00. A solid T5, or a RC T5 for 15 to 20

I am not sure if you have this resource, it was shown to me jsut this week...which I hope will fix my DNP issues

https://www.fantasypros.com/mlb/probable-pitchers.php

I have slotted 20 or more pitchers who didn't play in 4 weeks because I did not know such a site existed

[Uncbuddha]

I think you are spreading yourself too thin playing all 5 right now. You could make a really good AL team and a really good NL team. Prioritize those 2 modes for 4-8 GW and I’ll bet you’ll end up winning some T2s and T3s. Then You can still fill out competitive Al and NL teams and put your best team in Pro. Maybe win some rares. Or you can sell or trade your wins for some rares. Scan paweltrader account from time to time. He’ll trade a bunch of crap players for someone good but you’ll only get 70% value on your crap players. Usually better than trying to sell crap players yourself though because it can take a while.

I only did the basketball I think. Unlocked might not have been the right word, so much as restricted after drafting. That's fine for season long fatasy, but it's closer to a daily fantasy type game where you are stuck with the players you start with unless you do actions that get you access to more cards. Some might like that, but I'd rather just play a daily fantasy game where I can choose whoever I want each day. I don't do that either though so I think the format just isn't for me. It also seemed to have great potential for a few whales to be super successful on the backs of everyone else.

@gibberish, any luck of late with rewards? I’ve been on a cold streak. A lot of near misses and the injury bug has bitten my team.

Yah. No top 10 finishes, but a fair amount of t3 and t2. Closest has been 24th in National league. I have finished top 80 in Allstars a few times. No top 80 in Pro, so no free rares

Got a better grasp on fantasy baseball

So how is the season finishing up for you? I’ve definitely noticed the same price cycle that we saw in basketball. I picked up some cards of big time limited players for good prices. I feel like I have a really strong American League team now.

I did dip my toes in the rare game as well.

2nd season of basketball is starting soon and prices there are on the upswing of the price cycle. All my cards are up pretty nicely to start the season. They released a really nice roadmap for season 2 of nba. Mlb will likely follow suit for next year.

Sorry for delay.

I won 41 or so Limited and 17 rares. A few 20-30.00 cards, a LOT of 1-2.00 cards

I bumbled about a LOT.

Ive gone head on in buying and trading. Im not sure if youve seen my cards of late, but it is a BEHEMOTH :P

I just about finished a Super Rare team today with a few trades. Im in for ABOUT 600 on the team. need 1 more flex hitter and another SP to alternate. I attempted to design a 25+ PPS (point per slot) team
I see the investment potential much better than earlier. That 1st pair of months was BRUTAL as I over paid, traded poorly, constructed teams badly. I was thinking BASEBALL TEAM and not specific player. I overlooked cheap players too my detriment as you get in that rut that $$$=Winner and $= doesnt win

I am still a pinch under 6k sunk in so far. Soraredatae has my card evaluation around 7500 now, so i've corrected my past decisions and been rebuilding,buying,trading, with a long term focus on value. I speculate my cards are worth closer to 9400 as Sorare data does not allot value variations for low mint cards , jersey # or #1. That I have 9 cards that are #1 and the only ones on the site, displayes them as initial purchase price as value. With the collection bonus coming in Spring and the rumored collection contest, i expect some of these 10.00 cards that there are less than 10 of will bring 50-200.00. My Rare "only 1 exists" cards, to me, are not being sold or traded for les than 250 each IF THAT pans out I would be closer to 11,000

I have a direction and a goal. I have utilized the same methodology I did when buying case lots of Bowman Chrome draft and I've seen value already

I will sink 500.00 in a bunch of cards and start trading like a crazy person

I jsut did a deal that I ended up with $162.00 in from trading these last few days, that is around 280.00 in cards, that I will trade and trade and trade

I KNOW I am supposed to be focused on structuring for all of the different tournaments next year, but DAMN I love the trading. I can send 20 offers out wit hthe same 10 cards, to 20 different people, see who counters, who rejects, who does it, go back ot the others, issue a new trade to offset the cards I dont have any more, on and on. It's like being at a virtual card show that never goes to sleep

I told them they should buy banner space on Blowout to advert their fantasy and TCG side hehe. Theem only adverting on MLB.TV is REALLY short sighted.

But ya, check out my cards, sort by new The last 8 trades have been in 10 lot ,so 1 row across is each trade. You can see the entire trade by clickon on 1 card, scrolling down, clicking on the transaction of who I got it from, to see the deal. I ALSO figured out how to view that in soraredata

AND if anyone else ends up curious for next season, here are my cards to look at, deals I;ve done, card prices bought,sold, I mean it is a robust market Would be nice if there were more Americans though. Most of these guys use websites for their picks and RC grabs/Call-Up grabs, so there is no real intuition going on for most of them. Value gets screwy if someone says ABC is being traded to the METS or the YANKEES (makes zero sense that the Mets are that popular to Europeans) and out of nowhere Junk ball pitcher the RC goes from a 2.00 card to a 50.00 card...just like it does here So THAT is so NOT fantasy baseball, but it is fun to ride.

Here is 85% of my Super Rare team

Here are my Rare Cards

Here are my limited cards

The short/low mint chase was a boredom thing and it is WILD that it is generating capital already as I expected a 2-3 year wait. I wish I had found this game last year as I would have avoided name-sake players and went for the Hot roockis that none of these guys knew to pick up I would have had 20 Corin Carrols at 4.00 each or Gunnar hendersons @7 instead of the 85 and 50 they are now.....BUT...I am ready for 2024. Fingers Crossed Casey gets that danged swing fixed, same with Weimer. Lane Thomas is one I am deep in as well.

Stay in touch and always,alwayes, if you want to wash, send me trades. I got dollar for dollar. My card has no more value than the next guys and I understand values varry when comparing Soraredata and last sold as well as Context such as Playoff players still showing as 3X their actual value, but Ill do my best to make it balanced

I;ve gone DEEP in to the nationals for 2024.

OH!

POINT OF PRIDE!

I have 24 Jersey cards for the 2023 Washington Nationals out of the 30 card set I need lane thomas, Abrams, Gore, and the other 3 guys are inactive, so no jersey number was minted for them. I mean, 1080 points now, going up to 1490 by Spring, doesnt REALLY help anything, but it sure looks funny to me

here is my Soraredata.com Link. You have t oscroll down, click filter, select baseball, apply, then mouser over to the card type and click all.
https://www.soraredata.com/manager/m...ist-send-offer

From there you can click on any card or search and click, and you get the card info, everyone who has owned it, its value, its index plots, I mean it is frigging information overload.
here is a Dylan Cease...which those gues on Sorare love him...and no idea why

but what I DO love is this option

I bumbled about a LOT.

Ive gone head on in buying and trading. Im not sure if youve seen my cards of late, but it is a BEHEMOTH :P

I just about finished a Super Rare team today with a few trades. Im in for ABOUT 600 on the team. need 1 more flex hitter and another SP to alternate. I attempted to design a 25+ PPS (point per slot) team
I see the investment potential much better than earlier. That 1st pair of months was BRUTAL as I over paid, traded poorly, constructed teams badly. I was thinking BASEBALL TEAM and not specific player. I overlooked cheap players too my detriment as you get in that rut that $$$=Winner and $= doesnt win

I am still a pinch under 6k sunk in so far. Soraredatae has my card evaluation around 7500 now, so i've corrected my past decisions and been rebuilding,buying,trading, with a long term focus on value. I speculate my cards are worth closer to 9400 as Sorare data does not allot value variations for low mint cards , jersey # or #1. That I have 9 cards that are #1 and the only ones on the site, displayes them as initial purchase price as value. With the collection bonus coming in Spring and the rumored collection contest, i expect some of these 10.00 cards that there are less than 10 of will bring 50-200.00. My Rare "only 1 exists" cards, to me, are not being sold or traded for les than 250 each IF THAT pans out I would be closer to 11,000

I have a direction and a goal. I have utilized the same methodology I did when buying case lots of Bowman Chrome draft and I've seen value already

I will sink 500.00 in a bunch of cards and start trading like a crazy person

I jsut did a deal that I ended up with $162.00 in from trading these last few days, that is around 280.00 in cards, that I will trade and trade and trade

I KNOW I am supposed to be focused on structuring for all of the different tournaments next year, but DAMN I love the trading. I can send 20 offers out wit hthe same 10 cards, to 20 different people, see who counters, who rejects, who does it, go back ot the others, issue a new trade to offset the cards I dont have any more, on and on. It's like being at a virtual card show that never goes to sleep

I told them they should buy banner space on Blowout to advert their fantasy and TCG side hehe. Theem only adverting on MLB.TV is REALLY short sighted.

But ya, check out my cards, sort by new The last 8 trades have been in 10 lot ,so 1 row across is each trade. You can see the entire trade by clickon on 1 card, scrolling down, clicking on the transaction of who I got it from, to see the deal. I ALSO figured out how to view that in soraredata

AND if anyone else ends up curious for next season, here are my cards to look at, deals I;ve done, card prices bought,sold, I mean it is a robust market Would be nice if there were more Americans though. Most of these guys use websites for their picks and RC grabs/Call-Up grabs, so there is no real intuition going on for most of them. Value gets screwy if someone says ABC is being traded to the METS or the YANKEES (makes zero sense that the Mets are that popular to Europeans) and out of nowhere Junk ball pitcher the RC goes from a 2.00 card to a 50.00 card...just like it does here So THAT is so NOT fantasy baseball, but it is fun to ride.

Here is 85% of my Super Rare team

CJ Abrams is the best secret in the hobby!

[Gibberish]

Just traded a Padres uniform 2022 Abram @25.00. I think i will end up being on the low side in Spring, but you can't establish yourself as 1 of the goto for trades if ya don't trade

[Uncbuddha]

Planning any grassroots new posts on here to try to get folks interested for the 24 season? Figure I would wait until it’s gone live so folks can get started if interested. Blowout seems like the place to get a lot of new users. Such an awesome fantasy game. I hope it can see growth this year.

any major changes this year?

Holy crap. I jsut got an email notification for this...more than a year later

So, the changes in 2024 were more towards a sustainability for the company. The competitions were changed to encourage people to buy new cards over just having a guys 1st or 2nd or 3rd card and never needing it again.

IMO...Limiting cards and doing ACTUAL ADVERTISEMENT...and not what they have done...which I won't speculate on the reasons, would have encouraged growth and reduced the need to make all CASH comps in-season cards and adjusting the tier rewards for out of season comps to the point that had people a bit upset. The "Random" seemed more SKEWED towards the lower end of each tier. I saw 3 Ohtani rares issued last year in the group of 100 or so people I communicate with, via the out of season comps. I saw 11 issued as rewards for in-season winners, and I missed the other 8 as I think the reward slotting was 22 or 24 for each rare T-1. But when a guy gets the highest possible score...and it blew my mind to see a 491 score (Most people hit 250-290 and the random 320ish) and he got ..Cody Bellinger, well, that spoke to poor coding or a lot of weighting.

I get the need to be sustainable, so while miffed, I think transparency would carry more weight or a new reward tier.

ANYWAY

2024 saw a drop in people shortly after some other online fantasy gambling site was shut down, I forget the name. there was a spooked sell-off, and people leaving Makes me think of a stock fire sale.

By mid-2024 people who use the "Cookie cutter" lineups felt like they were being cheated by life, and a lot of those people stopped playing. The cookie cutter was Strider/Miller, Clase/Duran, Olsen/harper, Albies/Mookie/Tatis, Bregman/Devers, Contreras/Raleigh/Realmuto, Acuna/Judge/Youdon/Tucker, Ohtani/Freeman/Schwarbomb. People would slot a combination of those specific players and that was MOSTLY the 1st through 10th place winners in 2022 and 2023. With the massive swing to sliders, and injuries, those team lineups died.

people want free crap. Effort is for the sucker I suppose. They all subscribe to fantasy advise websites where they are told who is the best chance pointwise each game week. To each his own. My best finishes last year were 2nd on 5 occasions, 3rd on a dozen or so on limited, and top 5 in National league 32 times in rare A smattering of top 20 finishes in the other categories. I don't play for the money, I like to win cards. I would rather a 100.00 card than a 100.00 bill. But those Europeans are all about the moolah

So the lineups and card preferences changed so drastically that the landscape of demand changed to a range that confused a lot of people ..and a lot of analysists I assume.

So, here it is 2025. they have added more competitions, and my favorite, daily play I am excited for the daily play as it allows for a limited application of metrics...as most are averages and any one can suck or dominate in 1 game whereas they can meet their average mark over a season So, more focused on paying attention to match ups, stadium, weather,etc.

They made an option to allow out of season cards in in-sesson play via a format called energy. You can spend 10 energy on an OOS (easier than typing it out) card to play in an in-season comp. Energy, right now, can be earned (DERP) through winning cards, new cards, on the auction house. So, they have incentivized the purchase of new cards to use older cards...which was pretty intelligent. You get 5 energy per limited and 10 per rare you win/buy (You can hit up instant buy for about a 20% markup over last 3 auctions of a player averaged, for those that don't want to wait) and there is ...lol...I went to get the names and your year old question just showed me where I can enter more comps to win more energy, with out OOS cards


There were a lot of changes this week when the new cards went live. I think their only issue will be new players, same as it was last year, because people still see the NFT thing....while ignoring it's just a visual representation of your player and not so much a CRYPTO thing any more. But yah know, blinders and all


Well, as long as it doesn't go another year, holler if you have other questions. its a bit hard to break it all down as it changes to adapt and I am still learning the new format as well as most are.
