<center><b>I have been enjoying <a href="https://sorare.com/r/costanzabets">Sorare.com</a> these past years mainly playing in the Rare competitions. Each Week, I'm making an update post on what's happening in the ecosystem and how I'm doing personally.</b></center>

<hr>

Thins really have gotten to a point in Sorare that I have been just forgetting entering especially some limited lineup as the entire process these days having to do so many is just a massive hassle. Trading also has become something impossible and nobody really is willing to buy cards even at bottom prices.


They keep working and introduced a new game mode or at least a test of it which likely won't do anything at all for 99% of the player base including myself.

<b><h4>New Arena Mode</h4></b>

So from what I understand at first sight, Arena mode will replace Rivals with a sustainable reward model as nothing is created out of thin air. The idea is that you can enter a lineup by paying 10 Essence and you are then put up against 9 other places with a payout for the top 5 places based.

There are no player or collection bonuses and a claim that it's about skill.

<blockquote>A cap, no bonuses, every manager on equal terms, the Arena is a high-intensity competition designed to reward skill. A bold new way to prove you're the best!</blockquote>

However, from what I understand, you will be able to choose based on the cards you own so it will be a matter of picking the easy 5-0 matchups of a top team ah home against a weak team and stacking the best players. So it still only gives use case to a very small part of the cards. I could be wrong on this as I haven't tried it out yet but I doubt that I will get into this game mode as it likely only will increase the frustration with the game.

<b><h3>Playoffs Rare Results</h3></b>

Scoring 422 points was only good enough for a 200th place out of 2312 entries and gave 4 Rare Essence which is 20% of what is needed to craft a 1$ or less Tier 5 Card. So yeah, the rewards unless you land a top 3 spot have become totally negelectable.

<b>Player Transfers & Reward Card</b>

https://images.hive.blog/DQmUA8nB3yvw6u3qA5EQENKnJP1baQnkoXanUTFBApn7SEZ/image.png

I will try to sell 2 reward cards that I earned this season which I still hold and who look to be worth something still. Otherwise, I have not done any buys or sells.

<b><h4>Season 2024-2025 Owned Collection Value</h4></b>

It's fairly easy to track your personal earnings on the <a href="https://sorarebase.football/cards/95911/eur/">Sobase.Football</a> website. We seem to be at a point again where the rewards don't fully compensate for the drop in card values over time as more get printed and dumped on the market.

https://images.hive.blog/DQmcC5NY1AcmdxKUxJ6khrPwEnt91yH8Skz3u7USXVKjLJG/image.png


I am no longer putting outside funds into Sorare at this point and will track my total account value from here on out weekly. It's been pretty much a race to the bottom as sorare isn't able to come up with dynamics where card prices hold their value.

<b><h4>Conclusion</h4></b>The enjoyment that I'm getting from <a href="https://sorare.com/r/costanzabets">Sorare</a> surely has gone down a lot as they fail to fix some of the core issues. If I win something or manage to break even I'm already a happy player. Given the continued inflation, this is a game and not an investment.
