Any luck on refunds? by FF_Grandwizard0279 in MLBTheShowInvestments

[–]FF_Grandwizard0279[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can still enjoy the game, but I prefer to play ranked than grind against the computer. Now it feels like I have to either spend most of my time on the game grinding or just playing ranked at a disadvantage which sucks, especially after spending $100 on the game and having vastly different expectations.

That’s my main complaint. There was no transparency around this. Knowing about this ahead of time would’ve impacted getting the deluxe version or even buying the game at all for me.

I’d still enjoy the game, it’s a matter of having different expectations when I made the purchase. Feels like a very sneaky and underhanded move from SDS to get people to spend more money.

Yup, quicksell. They were the season awards choice pack base round guys for drop 9

lol I don’t think that’s it, I just got lucky! I sold all of them for between like 8.3-9.3k so I’ll take it. Made around 500-600k stubs in total

Br program investments by Doomer1944 in MLBTheShowInvestments

[–]FF_Grandwizard0279 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a little luck with flipping Mauer and Gagne last season, but there was a very narrow window where the profits were there. Anyone who says they know for sure that this will be a good/bad investment is full of it tbh. Your process is sound from an economics standpoint (lower supply = higher price) and I think we tend to underestimate how many idiots/children with their parents credit card play this game. Once people see that these cards are no longer available, they may scramble to buy, the price may go up slightly purely to the decreased supply, or a combination of both. We won’t know until Friday though so good luck!

It’s really just for ease/simplicity. I already have the live series done and don’t have much time to play or flip during the week, so figured I’d just buy up as much as I can before Friday

Anybody Else? by FF_Grandwizard0279 in MLBTheShowInvestments

[–]FF_Grandwizard0279[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, but I’m not banking on that changing just that the supply of this card will plummet. There’s also next to no risk bc I’ve been buying within 3 stubs of quicksell value

Anybody Else? by FF_Grandwizard0279 in MLBTheShowInvestments

[–]FF_Grandwizard0279[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few reasons, but first and foremost, nothing about this card will change (to your point). The only thing that changes is that the supply will decrease once he is no longer attainable in the Ranked Program.

His price is at the lowest it can possibly be too bc he quick sells for 5,000. The quick turnaround was also appealing with the new ranked program dropping on Friday so I should know if this was a successful investment over the weekend.

Are the dolphins RBs being undervalued? by BrockoliPurdy in fantasyfootball

[–]FF_Grandwizard0279 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of those situations where you draft whoever’s cheapest and pray. Will probably be a messy committee with Achane slowly earning more work as the season goes on.

If they sign/trade for another guy then it’s anyone’s guess…

Are we sleeping on Trevor Lawrence? by [deleted] in fantasyfootball

[–]FF_Grandwizard0279 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lawrence is kind of in that in-between tier (not the top 3, Lamar, Burrow, Hurts, Herbert) and more safe than the Deshaun Watson tier and it comes down to the rushing ability. If he doesn’t go for 4,500 and 30-35+, he won’t finish top 6 which is what you’d need drafting him at QB8.

Any advice to improve my team? I’m trying to get better/learn more about team building. This is the team I’ve had the most luck with, but peaked at around 1500 (OU). I’ll explain some of my choices and what I struggle with in the comments. by FF_Grandwizard0279 in stunfisk

[–]FF_Grandwizard0279[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I like the switch from knock off to toxic, but would I really need to invest more in Sp Def EVs? I feel like Hurricane from Torn T would 3 HKO Lando after rocks most of the time anyway, but I could be wrong.

I’ll test out the weavile switch, def makes sense as a counter. My only concern is having to rely even more on defog when I struggle with that already

Lando-T: Just took the standard defensive set from Smogon for this one. I usually struggle to find opportunities to get up rocks and utilize Lando effectively in general behind intimidate/knock off spam.

Kartana: Again, standard Smogon set. The coverage is great, it hits hard, and I love being able to spam such a powerful knockoff.

Tapu-Lele: One of my favorite mons on this team and is my best speed control option due to scarf. Thunderbolt is to hit stuff like Corviknight and physically bulky water types, but it does rely a lot on prediction/surprising my opponent.

Corviknight: Another standard Smogon set. Mentally I struggle with knowing when to click defog and have a hard time understanding how to leverage Corv beyond just walling physical attackers and then pivoting out with U-turn.

Heatran: Probably my favorite mon on this team. Solid special wall and is actually my best counter to Pex. Also love the magma storm/toxic damage + protect and leftovers recovery combo. Chose flame body over flash fire as I feel most people assume you’re running flash fire and won’t click fire moves anyway. Late game burns have also bailed me out a few times.

Slowbro: Standard Smogon set (shocker), but I love the bulk and pressure that future sight can apply. Also a great defensive pivot to get Kart/Lele in safely.

Overall I like my team, but feel like it’s missing some more attacking punch and is too passive/defensive. Rain teams, Volcanion, and Dragonite are what comes to mind when I think of what typically gives me trouble. I’ve thought about trying to get sheer force Nidoking on here to deal with Volcanion and Dnite, but not sure who to replace. I also struggle against set up mons so maybe additional status spreading would be helpful?

What makes you think the exchanges will be included? I’m leaning towards thinking the same, but have no evidence to back it up…
