    This is nothing short of pure gold. If they haven't gotten back to you yet, don't worry! I bet they're putting together an incredible severance package for you. You'll be delighted!

    Lol ouch. Yea they are terrible. I’ve lost around 300k over last 2 weeks. It’s not even an up and down. It’s just down, down, down. Worst packs in sports games and that’s a tough feat. I know they are the worst because you literally could not make worse value for their price unless you just took the price of the pack and didn’t give the pack.

    The good news is there’s nothing that stubs are needed for in this game so no reason to worry about them or spend money for stubs anymore lol.

    HAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH
    imagine if this community played fifa

    That’s the only sports game I don’t play. I know they’re being sued right now. Do they sell packs for coins and pay out 6% or less 70% of the time?

    Bruv they don’t even give you the real odds. They just say less than 1%, that could be .0000000000000001%. It’s also buying fifa points and it’s $25 for the best pack, and it’s like a 5% it’s a walkout which is like 1/5 of the pack most of the time. Like a .0001% you break even

    I spent 290,000 stubs on packs and DID NOT pull a single diamond player. Is this a sick joke? I’m quitting the game after that! 200 packs!

    YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED! quit the game be on your merry way, why dont your try to resell the cards that are duplicates? Maybe if you invested time into doing that and not whining to SDS or a community forum you might learn how to make stubs

    All the packs have odds for each tier. Odds do not increase with bulk purchasing. It's a risk. I hope you have better luck in the future.

    Edit after doing the math again:

    Let’s do some back of the napkin math. Let’s say 2% of the packs have a diamond in them. In that case you have a .98 or 98% chance of not getting a diamond in an individual pack. Which means you have a .98^200 chance of not getting a diamond 200 times in a row. That works out to about 2 percent. By coincidence this is the same chance of pulling a diamond in a single pack. I didn’t think through my earlier response. Apologies.

    So, it’s unlikely for this to happen, but possible. In fact, it’s essentially the same hope you have of pulling a diamond in an individual pack.

    Either way, I would be really bummed if this happened to me. But, it isn’t outside the realm of possibility.

    It’s genuinely interesting to see how many people will bash OP and defend every single person in the entire game losing stubs on packs for every year the game has been out.

    That is the true definition of a sucker is born every minute.

    This man is posting he opened 200 packs didn’t pull a single diamond with posted odds of 1:50 plus the toppers in packs that are already unethical with the stated odds. And post after post after post bashed him haha. Y’all gonna jump in when the class actions start hitting though right lol.

    You know, the odds of getting a card you want when you buy it off the market is 100%.

    Better than 2% chance of a diamond in a pack.

    I emailed SDS to see if they could help. Give me a no sell player or anything because 200 packs and no diamond... is a joke.. horrible customer service and a b.S response

    Every time I lose a bunch of money in Vegas, I always ask for my money back. I always get some bs response. What a joke. Horrible customer service.

    Hey at least Vegas comps you meals and a room often lolol. The equivalent would be a bronze pack or 500 stubs .

    I bet dude got some diamond equipment or sneaking, I can’t believe he got goose egged. But pulling diamond stadiums and the like feels like a rip off. But look on the bright side, if he sells the cards he doesn’t want from the spree, he could easily have enough for another 50 pack

    Really? You must not be looking too hard as googling Fifa Lawsuit it’s literally the first hit. If you’re going to try hard to be an SDS shill at least pretend to be smart.

    What did you look up because we all know it wasn’t “How to make a baseball game better”

    ​Player Type Pack Odds
    Bronze 1:1
    Silver 1:3
    Gold 1:10
    Diamond 1:50

    Odds don't increase when multiple packs are purchased.

    It's EA, not SDS, that's why I didn't see it. It's a law suit which has no merit. There is an inherent risk to buying packs for real money. Should FIFA and The Show be classified as "Gambling"? Perhaps, but if you don't spend any real cash on stubs or packs, there is no gamble. I have been playing The Show since whenever it came out and I have never ever spent any money other than to purchase the game. And it's not "Pay to Win", it's pay to buy packs with odds. In addition, you can pay real money to get all the diamonds in the world, but if you're a censored player, you still won't win.

    Cool you say it has no merit. Are you the judge residing over it? Lmfao.

    Once it’s defined as gambling to get around the work around phrase of “surprise mechanics” it’s going to open ethical lawsuits all over the place. Once a single win creates case law, it will be a field day for class actions. No players will get rich off of it, that will be the attorneys. But sign up and give log in and personal info for a couple hundred of bucks? Sure, why not. Multiplied by hundreds of thousands of players. I’m sure not a big deal. Or maybe the defense that it’s ethical that 99% of packs don’t give value to push IAPs will work. Who knows.

    Whether you spend money, have to spend money, have to open packs will be irrelevant.

    I don’t need to convince you, you will see it all play out. The whirlwind surrounding these games isn’t even an if, it’s just a matter of when.

    Lol ouch. Yea they are terrible. I’ve lost around 300k over last 2 weeks. It’s not even an up and down. It’s just down, down, down. Worst packs in sports games and that’s a tough feat. I know they are the worst because you literally could not make worse value for their price unless you just took the price of the pack and didn’t give the pack.

    The good news is there’s nothing that stubs are needed for in this game so no reason to worry about them or spend money for stubs anymore lol.

    HAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH
    imagine if this community played fifa

    That’s the only sports game I don’t play. I know they’re being sued right now. Do they sell packs for coins and pay out 6% or less 70% of the time?

    Who's suing them? Can't find anything on the net.

    Really? You must not be looking too hard as googling Fifa Lawsuit it’s literally the first hit.

    It's EA, not SDS, that's why I didn't see it. It's a law suit which has no merit. There is an inherent risk to buying packs for real money. Should FIFA and The Show be classified as "Gambling"? Perhaps, but if you don't spend any real cash on stubs or packs, there is no gamble. I have been playing The Show since whenever it came out and I have never ever spent any money other than to purchase the game. And it's not "Pay to Win", it's pay to buy packs with odds. In addition, you can pay real money to get all the diamonds in the world, but if you're a censored player, you still won't win.

    I directly responded to a Post about Fifa.

    Cool you say it has no merit. Are you the judge residing over it? Lmfao.

    Once it’s defined as gambling to get around the work around phrase of “surprise mechanics” it’s going to open ethical lawsuits all over the place. Once a single win creates case law, it will be a field day for class actions. No players will get rich off of it, that will be the attorneys. But sign up and give log in and personal info for a couple hundred of bucks? Sure, why not. Multiplied by hundreds of thousands of players. I’m sure not a big deal. Or maybe the defense that it’s ethical that 99% of packs don’t give value to push IAPs will work. Who knows.

    Whether you spend money, have to spend money, have to open packs will be irrelevant.

    I don’t need to convince you, you will see it all play out. The whirlwind surrounding these games isn’t even an if, it’s just a matter of when.

    Take a deep breath and realize that this is not that important. And stop being nasty.

    I’m just responding to your post. My life is good brother man. Sometimes I can’t believe how good it is.

    Never said it wasn't. I am glad it is.

    Responding to my post is fine, that's why this forum and all of us are here.

    Stop being nasty.

    If you think me telling you how the world works is nasty I don’t know what to tell you. Maybe just hit the block and move on 🤷‍♂️
