The Show Packs are glitched
-
Zero diamonds and I’ve opened over 100 packs. This sucks. Same thing every year.
-
Thats how odds work. When you watch a youtube streamer pull 4 diamonds from one 50 pack, that means, on average, 4 other 50 packs will have zero diamonds. You could literally never pull a diamond all season and it would mean nothing to the fairness of packs.
I know it feels like you are being singled out and ripped off, but having played The Show for the last 4 years, it happens to everyone eventually. Packs are weighted to favor the house, but you will get plenty of good cards if you just play the game. SDS gives us hundreds of free packs, free diamonds, and thousands of stubs. Use them wisely and you will always have a competitive team.
Think of packs as collection fillers. I just use them to fill out the commons and bronzes for all the teams. If i get a gold or diamond (ive gotten 3 so far out of about 200 packs) its a bonus.
Packs are lottery tickets -- the vast majority dont win. Remember that and youll feel better.

I have opened just about 50 packs now from conquest, special edition, and packs you earn throughout. In these standard packs I have pulled 0 diamonds and 1 gold. I understand diamonds re roughly 1/50 but golds are supposed to be 1:10. Why on earth have I only gotten 1 gold? This has to be a bug I’ve played the show for years and have never seen this.
LoL. Not how odds work.
Lol it’s a random integer generator in the coding of the game. I know exactly how odds work and I’ve had awful luck.
Doesn't seem so if you think that you should get 1 diamond per 50 packs. I've opened 200 to include TA packs. Got 9 so far to include trout in a TA pack.
Bruh the stupidity in that statement. I’m a software engineer and I’m saying Ik how they work. That is beyond shitty luck Idc what you think. You are just trying to rub it in at this point that you’ve had good luck. Quit assuming what people know and don’t there are people who opened thousands of packs and recorded it last year and consistently over a large sample size the packs were found to have much lower rates than indicated by the random number generator they state they use. It’s not just me, they definitely decreased the pack odds a couple years ago and even more this year in attempts to get more money from people ripping packs that’s all I’m saying.

Doubt if it is glitched. They just probably due to endless greed made the pack luck worse.
Finally someone who replies reasonably that’s my point that they obviously are lower than stated in an attempt to make more money. I was being sarcastic with the glitched part lol some people can wrap their brain around the sarcasm
-
I pulled in one bundle a Acuna , Tatis Jr , 3 Francisco Lindors and a Walker Buhler. Launch night I ripped 4 bundles and didn’t pull a single diamond player item. Hit or miss. As most things with a 1/50 odds would be.

Thank you for a positive statement
-
Yeah I've had years where I opened 250-300 packs before a diamond. This year has been rough too, almost all have been bronze. On avg it's probably 17 bronzes, 2 silvers and maybe 1 gold every 20 packs. I will say don't believe everyone on this site saying how many diamonds or Trouts they pulled.. some are just obviously full of sh*t lmao.
-
Like Iast year I bought multiple 20 packs and some 50 packs and would maybe get a gold. But then I'd buy a random single pack and pull Mookie. So you just gotta be ready to probably get nothing, or you're better off buying players you want.

Just unlock 'Ballin' is a Gold' bundles 🤪

SDS is being very greedy this year. I think we are seeing them transition into the way EA does business.
It's beginning to look that way. These companies are all the same. Putting in Loadouts and promoting 'loot' now?
And they have the Microsoft crowd now. That is super greedy.
(Now watch my pack luck get worse!)
I did pull the 90 Donaldson from a pre order pack... -
@kingakp_xbl said in The Show Packs are glitched:
When it says 1:50 it means EACH pack has a 1:50 chance for a diamond. Not 1 of 50 packs. Its based off of individual packs.
Have any of the devs ever confirmed this? It really depends how it’s coded and none of us here on the forum are in the loop on that so all we can do is guess.
They could be going for full transparency and ensuring in the server’s code that for every 50 packs that are purchased one diamond is chucked in. This has the added benefit of more control over the number of diamonds out there.
That’s how I’d do it.
-
After going 0-for since pre-launch night, I was planning to switch the game off just as the servers were going live for the mass launch. I had two packs sitting there from doing conquest so opened them quickly before midnight. Got Arenado, so thankfully not 0-for anymore. Thought seriously about selling because he's over 100K but in the end decided to keep and hope I will get lucky enough to rip him again. I was so stressed about not getting a good pack at all so glad that's out of the way!! With this new prestige system, every card can be improved immediately, so not ripping diamonds early is actually worse luck than maybe it was before?

My dude, with all the legal battles going on both in the US and oversees about micro transactions and posted odds, Sony would have to have some huge berries to intentionally lie about the pack odds, risking their 139 billion dollar company over a few diamond cards. These companies are under a literal microscope right now, with multiple federal governments considering regulating the industry (Some countries already do).
Senate bill 1629 introduced by Senator Hawley, and sponsored by two democrats is still on the senate floor. Because its a bipartisan bill, these companies are doing everything they can to shine their business model in a positive light.
I'm sorry you haven't had luck. I have never won the lottery, but I don't blame the state for rigging the odds.

Like I said I'm at roughly 300 packs and I've pulled tons.

Finished the US map and pulled Acuna and Arenado. Maybe my diamond pulls are alphabetical this year
Pulled Bregman last night. What happened to Mookie?

He's an all knowing "software engineer" moving on from the "pack glitch" thread. Good luck OP.

I've opened 21 packs to far and pulled Scherzer and Strasburg. Scherzer came out of a reward pack, and today bought two single packs. Strasburg in one and ozuna in the other.

If it’s glitched, then file a class action lawsuit and see how you do...
-
I have opened roughly 100 packs through whatever...pulled 3 diamonds. Hader, Chapman, and Hendriks. My LS pen is stacked. lol.
