    Packs were MUCH better during the early access period. I pulled Trout, DeGrom 3x, Acuna, Tatis....but over the past week or so I haven't pulled much, even the diamonds I pull are mostly 85's. Honestly the best pulls I have had lately are diamond equipment

    Just tried another 50 pack bundle. Chase pack a gold again! That is 7 in a row now! Bundle gave me 2 diamonds, both icons! Absolute BS!!!

    if you aren't buying stubs, where are you getting all these stubs from the content to buy 7 50 packs? especially if you aren't getting diamonds. Do you play the market?

    With thousands of people ripping 5 pack bundles every half hour of course diamonds are going to be harder to come across.

    I haven’t pulled a diamond yet, but the fact we all lost about half what we can eat by losing affinity packs doesn’t help…

    All being said, the pack odds for diamonds should’ve been adjusted for the quick sell nuke, like if it was always 50-1 for a 5k quick sell, there’s no reason the adjustment can’t be made for a 30-1 odds on a 3k quick sell.

    Ratios don’t change if quantities increase. Eg if 1 in every 50 people got a speeding ticket that means 10 in every 500 people got one (still a 1:50 ratio).

    why do so many of you question this? they are legally required to post this. they aren't going to lie on something that could be audited and result in a massive fine. pack odds don't motivate anyone to spend....it's not like the pack odds are good anyway so why would they lie?

    I know the fan boys will jump all over this but speaking to lots of mates who play the show everyone has the same observation. Pack pulls are way worse than last year so there is no way that pack odds can be the same! I love the game and think it's great, but this seems to be an observation I see voiced quite a lot.

    Last 5 "Chase Packs" all gold! Over 25 Ballin packs not one diamond! Not even a gold from the many headliners! And have opened hundreds if not thousands of packs!

    Haha, just opened a 50 pack bundle now! Chase = gold 80 of course!, Bundle = 50 golds highest an 82. Absolute garbage!

    I feel you my guy. I said the same thing earlier.

    I'm sure your aware of this; but the odds don't mean that one in every 50 packs you buy/earn will contain a Diamond. It means that you have a 1 of 50 chance to pull a Diamond out of that particular pack.

    Yes completely aware. Just still seems like it's much worse than last year. Again, this is something that I have seen voiced quite a bit through my personal community of mates that play the game.

    So far I have opened way more packs than the same time last year and it's been worse. Hopefully my luck changes but I'm not holding my breadth.

    “Luck” doesn’t “change” or even exist. You have a 98% chance of not pulling a diamond on each pack you open. It doesn’t matter if you pulled no diamonds in the last 2 million packs or 4 Trouts in all of them, it’s still a 98% chance of not pulling a diamond in the next one.

    Why are you wasting stubs on packs? Gambler’s fallacy? No matter how bad you believe your “luck” has been, you are never “due.”

    They could easily lie as they would definitely not grant anyone access to server statistics to check. And considering capitalist corporate culture, they probably do lie about many things like most other companies! Profit before people mate, that's what capitalism is all about.

    If they were legally compelled to they would.
