Yeah I know that now. I see all these youtube people pulling packs and getting diamonds. I wasn't expecting an all star line up. But for $100 I figured I'd get at least 5-6 diamonds. Never again. Clearly SDS is giving these people diamonds to trick people into buying the [censored].
But this is like those people who put up videos of crazy trick shots. They don’t put up videos of the 850 tries that didn’t work, it’s only the one that works, or in this case the videos of the good pack pulls that get shown.
Normal odds were always about 1 diamond in every 50 packs. Which could also be equipment or a stadium or sponsorship. You just got somewhat unlucky.
I believe it actually says diamond player odds are 1:50.

Maybe you’re right. The point stands. If it’s 1-in-50 odds of pulling a diamond player, then in 100 packs or so, getting 2 diamonds is average, 1 is somewhat unlucky, 0 is very unlucky.

I never bought card packs before. And since well the rest of this game is boring since you basically did nothing to the offline modes, I figured what the hell, maybe I'll give DD a try. So I bought $100 worth in packs. I got one [censored] diamond. ONE. A 87 overall Lindor cost me $100 dollars lol.
Wow SDS. Just wow. Even EA isn't that shady
What is shady about it? You can actually access the odds on the store page before you buy.
Some people seem to believe that 1:50 odds somehow means that you are guaranteed a Diamond card if you open up 50 packs. That is not how odds work.

I can tell you from playing The Show and Madden... the pack odds in The Show are absolutely terrible. Don't buy packs... just get your stubs and cards through playing the game and if you want to buy stubs with real money... use the stubs to buy cards directly off the marketplace.

i mean dude think of what you just paid for - a digital card that really is worthless by any measure
are you also the guy who gets really upset spending $25 for a popcorn and soft drink combo at the movie theatre?
-
There are tons of ways to get packs and diamonds by just playing the game. Comparing SDS to EA is ludicrous though because EA doesn't give anything away. I'll say what everyone else is saying....should have bought cards from the market.

I am currently trying to keep in my laughter at work. What did you think you were going to get? Trout? It's not "Shady" you chose to spend money. Maybe play the game instead? Shout out to SDS for not selling into the "pay to win" crowd!

@enzo69_psn said in $100 spent for 1 Diamond:
EA isn’t that shady? lol okay. I’ve play FUT 12-21 and I never packed a gold or special version of Ronaldo, Messi, or Neymar. Nor have I ever packed an icon (legend). $100 in fifa gets you f**k all. Maybe a few 84-87 if you’re lucky. SDS pack odds are WAY better than EAids
I still don’t get why people even compare the two. You don’t get 50 overall players in fifa either? The games are designed completely differently. 98% of the cards in this game are unusable, fifa has nothing but GOLD cards in GOLD packs. Not commons and silvers. And sorry if you can’t afford a 300,000 coin Ronaldo 200,000 coin Neymar or 160,000 coin Messi you’ve been doing it wrong from Fut12-21. Actually if you can’t afford them ALL at this point, your doing it wrong.

Fill in your sets w your commons bronze silver golds etc hustle the market and your team will improve I've spent a 100 since drop the other night as well but I've got my live sets dam near complete short a few big cards like trout and what not but every diamond and gold card you collect is still yours to play with its just not sellable so my team has filled out pretty nice bcuz the live rewards are pretty dam good and guys like Schmidt are cheap and good as well as the 42 players

At least you got a diamond bro. Take it from me, that's not bad. You're better off buying players off the market. Of course that isn't as exciting as opening packs, but yeah it doesn't frustrate like the packs do.
That's not bad? That's pathetic. I don't have time to grind programs and/or earn even stubs to field a decent team. Which is why I went the route of packs. I wanted to give online a try since RTTS and franchise are basically the exactly same as the past 3 years.
The thing is that DD is for the long haul you have to grind and if you spent $100 you could have easily picked up 3 of the 42 series legends or there are a number of low level diamonds that are in the 85-87 range that would be competitor the next 2 weeks for sure. That said you have to keep at this as each month the cards get bigger and better and just pulling packs won't get the job done. You have to put in the work that is way DD isn't like the rest as you can put in the time and you will be rewarded
I've got a question for you on this as I'm a new Xbox player. When you say keep at it each month, what does that entail? For example, let's say I assemble a team of high golds and low diamonds that work well for me now, what will I need to be doing throughout the year in order to upgrade my team as better cards come out? Is it basically just grinding programs, conquest, moments, TA, showdown, stuff like that?
Also, I don't love the thought of playing ranked seasons or BR, I'm new to the game. Is there another mode where I can grind with my DD team (not a drafted team) and get lots of stuff from doing that?

First, 100.00 worth of packs is a VERY bad strategy. Second,, what would you have done with offline modes? It's baseball. There's only so much that can be done with it.
I am not sure what you mean.. What would I have done with offline modes? I've been buying and playing the show since like 2011. I always stick to offline mode. Outside a little conquest and moments I don't play DD. I figured I would give it a try this year.

By odds you should never have expected 5-6 diamonds. They list the odds you know.
