@Megatron1014@SorareMLB@Sorare Hi man. I would like to propose a trade to you on SorareNBA: my 6 rare cards for your limited Doncic that you've listed on the market. DM me if you're interested
Few things to expect early 24:
Sorare Pro
1. Football: New competition structure mirroring the real world of football. Star players be star players πͺ
2. Β Better reward structure for all sports. More exciting openings (boxes), more exciting prizes in general. Managers want to dream big, and the prize structure will adjusted accordingly β¨
3. Clearly communicated windows where we can make changes on core gameplay (twice a year)
4. Manager ID, an amazing way to showcase your club, victories, collections, and more π
5. Mobile first scouting experience
6. Revamped user journey (levels) to guide users at each step of their career
Sorare Rivals
7. Moving from close to open beta π₯
Think about it as a simplified, mobile-first, social (head to head) version of Sorare Pro. Aiming at onboarding a more casual audience that we canβt onboard with Sorare Pro.
8. Big surprise at launch (current gameplay not reflecting what youβll see at launch) π
Mobile
9. Full launch on Android in Jan.
10. Full launch on iOS in Jan.
Ambassadors
11. First mainstream campaigns with star athletes
Partners
12. Addition of a couple of iconic clubs that have been missing for a while :)
Detailed roadmap in the coming days. Wishing you all an amazing holiday season π
And to end the year strong: I'll pick 2 Managers in the RT section for a Limited card up to $150 π₯π
Still in love with Sorare NBA, and I'm confident that things will improve. so I'll continue to provide suggestions.
The big problem is simply that we are stuck in a major negative spiral. And yet we have again, 6x Giannis limited on auctions:
There is absolutely no reason to buy now because in January the cards will be 50% cheaper, in February another 50% cheaper, and in March, it will completely collapse for teams that don't make it to the playoffs.
And please don't mistake it for ROI hunters or people wanting to get rich, but it's not enjoyable for anyone, absolutely no one, to invest β¬1000 and then see in February that the cards are now only worth β¬250. It's just not fun, and that's exactly why new users aren't joining because they know, if I'll wait a few weeks, then it's cheaper, and then I'll wait a bit longer, and it's even cheaper, and then I probably doesn't start after all because the T1 reward I could win is worth 3$.
So the only thing that helps us is to break this negative spiral and create a positive trend. Maybe even generate FOMO. Today Giannis costs β¬90, next week β¬140, and the week after β¬200. And this only works if we significantly reduce the number of mints and regulate the revenue through the secondary market. By the way, it is also infinitely scalable and controllable.
Concrete idea:
Reduce supply to:
100 limiteds (~ that equals 1 limited per player per week on auctions. So we would have 1 giannis action per week )
10 rares
1 sr
per day.
Increase 2nd market fee:
Increase the fee up to 15%. And I know, traders won't like it, but believe me, you'd rather pay 15% fees on a Giannis that you sell for β¬500 than 5% on a Giannis that no one wants to buy for β¬80.
It is sustainable, infinitely scalable, and there is a proof of concept with DK Reignmakers that generates incredible volume on the 2nd market and has 10% fees.
TLDR:
We dont need:
List or play
first owner bonus
xp punishment for trades
etc
We need:
highly active 2nd market
reward trading ( or at least does not punish it)
positive trend for card prices
The special feeling back of winning/buying a player and following his career
And I can only speak for Sorare NBA, but I can already guarantee you that if nothing changes, auction revenues in January compared to December will drop by at least 70%, probably more. No one is interested in that, except maybe for people who still believe that low card prices will reach the mainstream. But it won't, and we are setting the floor prices for rare and SRs so low that a bounce back will be impossible.
