Lack of Diamonds in Show packs

@MRAD2010_XBL said in Lack of Diamonds in Show packs:
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.
I gave up on buying packs a long time ago and just grind for the free packs. My biggest gripe this year is it seems much harder to accumulate stubs than years past.

It’s really strange so many players are going thru something similar.
It’s not “so many players”, it’s that the players who feel like there’s a conspiracy in the packs are the loudest. Generally, you don’t see posts like “Diamond luck is crazy good!” or anything like that. It’s always “Why do packs suck so bad?!”.
I spend no money on the game outside of the initial early access price. I refuse to buy stubs, and I refuse to buy packs with stubs I’ve earned. I am very content with the diamonds I’ve pulled. I had better results last year (pulled two Ohtani’s first weekend last year), but nothing this year has screamed “SDS is just a money making greedy corporation!!!” (I mean… they are, but what company isn’t?).
Everyone just needs to realize that odds are what they are, and for every person that’s pulling no diamonds, someone else is pulling three trouts, two Ohtanis, and a JRam. They just don’t post about it.

And people having bad luck often exaggerate it.

Well. I just pulled Lindor and Ketel. Lindor was from a 5 pack bundle I earned in DQ, Ketel from a silver pack from DQ too

I pulled both, but during early-access!
Soto twice, but early as well.
You're going to love Ketel. He is

I guess I don't feel so bad anymore, it's 100 and counting for me.

@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN Technically not true. $500 is about what Ohtani and Judge cost as a pair right now. As I type, it’s about $450 worth of stubs, so you could get another 75k stub player with those 2.

Diamond Players should be the only thing that count towards the odds. Diamond jerseys, icons, and whatever else should not. Its a joke that i know when I pull anything but a player. My luck is done.
-
@DEF266_PSN If you look at the packs odds, it does say the odds are for diamond players and not equipment or anything else.

I hear what your saying. I get one of those non player diamonds I never pull any players. I get that the odds 1 in 50 and i usually build up to 50. But jeeZ. Glad i stopped giving them my money.

I couldn’t imagine spending more money on the game. Have never bought a stub. When DD started and my friends started buying stubs to get packs I just couldn’t do it. I started collecting irl baseball cards and have built quite the collection over the past 9 years.
On topic, I have pulled 3 Martes a Judge and tons of other diamonds this year just from grinding.

I've had pretty good luck pulling <90 diamonds, but no high diamonds. Best I've pulled have been the last 2 days - JRam and Tatis.

@JDHalfrack_PSN same here. Does the pack luck suck worse than other years? It feels that way. But you’re right I’m happy with who I pull. I’m 4 cards away from being done. I’m sure you can guess which 4. I don’t buy stub and I don’t buy packs. I do buy some things like the anniversary bundle or the Jackie Robinson bundle. Bottom line if you know how to work it bad pull streaks aren’t the end all.

Judge
Trout x2
Mookie x2
Bryce x2
Kyle Tucker x2
TatisAnd that's just the high diamonds.
This is why I'm only a Shohei away from completing Live Series.
Well done. Aaaaaaand I hate you

Insane luck, hopefully you’ll pull Ohtani as well and be done with LS collection.

@TripleH-4481_PSN Hate to break it to you but this is just simply not how probability works. And SDS has so many better things to do with their time than manipulate pack odds. It is simply luck and sometimes you get lucky.
Its the same shiny hunting pokemon, sometimes the probability gods are on your favor and you just pop off with shiny after shiny and sometimes you go on a dry spell. That doesn't mean the devs are manipulating it for engagement. -

Haha. I've opened an insane amount of packs. I bet other people would get these high diamonds if they opened as many packs as I do.
