Lack of Diamonds in Show packs
-
@TripleH-4481_PSN When I first installed the game the first thing I saw was a notification that someone on my friend's list pulled Ohtani.
-
Well this thread turns out to have some slight magic like the Stuck in Moment thread. After posting about my dry spell I pulled 3 diamonds out of 5 earned Ballin packs. Mookie Betts, Blake Snell, and All-Star Ronin Yount.

Hopefully the good luck spreads to all of us in this thread. The crazy part is that diamonds are so rare and most of them are 5-10K. The high end diamonds, over 50K, are probably like 1 in 500 packs or worse which is mind blowing. I get the supply and demand deal but feel like making the odds even semi reasonable would go a long way and not eat into profits in the least. I know personally that I have zero interest in buying packs because the odds are horrendous but if they were reasonable I likely would to try and finish collections.

Is Ronin Yount Robin's twin brother?

Yep. Going into the day I hadn’t pulled a diamond in about a week. Yesterday I was off work and played a good amount. Finished jester conquest, most of the last ride and April spotlight programs, diamond quest run, and half a mini season and all the packs gained totaled around 100 more with you guessed it zero diamonds. I wonder if they tightened things up to get the last bit of juice from the orange knowing this weekend league could potentially kill the market next weekend.
-
Still no diamonds and add my first chase pack to the mix and…..it was a gold….of course. Ugh, just laughable at this point.
-
Haha guess I had the pack gods on my side this year… don’t worry I’m not usually this pack lucky
-
Hell, I'm grateful if I get a gold. Sometimes I don't even get a silver.

Unfortunately no, it's just my crappy eyesight and refusal to wear my glasses lol...

I hate diamond jerseys and icons.

I'm like a diamond icon magnet.

I had a few extra stubs so I bought a 50 pack bundle and pulled 1 diamond. I was hoping if I didn’t get one of the big live series diamonds I could at least make my money back. Not even close. I lost big.
-
Packs are never worth it. The odds of getting a good diamond are far worse than 2%. Let the compulsive gamblers pay for packs and hope to get lucky on the grindable packs. Buy the individual cards you want no matter how “due” you feel.

-
That sounds about right as of late.
-
@TripleH-4481_PSN I know the odds are terrible but I had quite of few stubs to spare so I had to roll the dice.
-
Oh I get it and to each their own. If someone wants to buy packs they can go for it but it’s gonna be disappointing 99% of the time. Lately it’s weird because this is the longest I’ve gone by far without pulling a diamond from a standard or ballin pack. I have 9 live series diamonds left including most of the heavy hitters and have made zero progress as of late. Trying to stay patient but it gets frustrating for sure.

I went a long time without diamonds almost 400 packs. But I can say since Thursday I’ve pulled a ton. I’m down to Soto, Ohtani, betts, Acuna, Sale, Witt and JRam. I knock off the lower priced ones so next it will be Sale and Acuna. All free packs. I can honestly no longer complain. Do I feel there is an issue…yes. But I still won’t spend money on stubs

-Shohei
