Late to the party
-
I have played this game for years up until 24, was obsessed actually! Spent a TON of money on it filling sets, etc.
This year, I kind of boycotted the game becuz I didn't want to put all the time into it and didn't want to get that itch to spend money again.
Anyways, I was at my brother in laws for xmas and noticed he had it on gamepass, we played a little together and i got back into it.
So I downloaded it, started playing DD, and wow!! What a difference it is starting late like this! First few hours I'm opening free pack after pack after pack, and getting diamonds like crazy!! I'm talking like every other regular pack I'm getting a diamond, i have filled the live series set in just over a week without spending ANY money, and I've finished a ton of sets!
Anyways, i think this is the way I'm gonna go with the game moving forward.

The only reason your pulling diamonds now is because they made them easier to get in packs, trust me it wasn't that easy until season 4 dropped. When mlb 25 drops it'll go right back to few and far between with diamonds
-
Really? How do they make it easier? The odds look the same lol
-
You have a 1/8 chance now to pull a diamond since season 4 began, it was definitely alot harder when the game came out on launch day. It could've been 200 packs or more and you wouldn't have pulled a diamond so all I'm saying is don't get used to it because for 25 it will harder
-
Gotta agree, they are way easier to pull now , it feels like every other standard pack you pull a diamond now, actually getting better pulls in the standard packs then in the ballin packs, they definitely increased the odds since it is so late in the cycle.
-
@icebergslim7669_PSN I've noticed that too between regular and ballins, I think I've pulled maybe 1 or 2 from the ballin packs.
-
@MadDogTannen777_XBL I actually did the same thing. Didn’t play after season 1 until they brought back all cards then jumped back in. Had the team I wanted in 3 days lol…Honestly this isn’t a bad way to do it, Just pretend the release date is January 10th!
-
I’m up to 768 standard packs to open. Curious about what the pull rate will be at this point…
-
If you go to the Shop, it shows the odds of getting a Live Series Diamond have fallen from 50/1 down to 8/1.
And even though they haven’t printed it, there are a lot of non-LS Diamonds being awarded as well.
Have a feeling that both the LS and non-LS both “count as LS Diamonds” now.

@IrishFist412_MLBTS yeah man!! It's been nice! No stress either! Haha
-
2% odds of pulling a diamond is absolutely ridiculous. The 12.5% it’s currently at is much more palatable and should be the permanent odds moving forward to actually make packs worthwhile. I’ve felt for years that they play with the odds throughout the season. At launch the prevalence of diamonds seems much higher and then it drops off dramatically only to bounce back up later in the year. This has to be by design.
