Step 3: Become Best Friends With the Community Market Board
MLB The Show 18: How to Get Stubs Easily
Now that you have a nice sized nest egg and you’re not spending it on packs, let’s get familiar with the community market board.
Go into Diamond Dynasty and start playing around with the market board. Write down or remember the usual going prices for cards that you are aiming for, players that are really popular and are in high demand, and players that you have that you can sell.
Like the stock market, with the prices of these cards we’re talking about ebb and flow. If you see a Buy Now option on a card that’s way lower than what it’s usually going for, grab it right away and flip it for a higher price. Be patient. If you wait long enough, someone will buy your card as long as it’s not outrageously priced. Or if you got a great deal on a great player, just keep it and use it!
If you get a super popular player from a pack, instead of keeping them, sell them because they are usually overpriced when compared players of similar ratings, but not as well-known or popular. You can take advantage of popularity to make stubs off of less shrewd and impatient gamers.
Like we mentioned earlier, if you happen to get lucky and pull a diamond card somehow, somewhere, I’m personally a fan of shipping them out for serious stubs to fill out other positions, at least early on, but if you want to have a big name power pitcher or hitter in your lineup/rotation, go for it.
The biggest takeaway though to be stingy, and be patient. Don’t settle for bad Buy Now prices, and try to hustle your fellow gamers.
