@Pergo_MLBTS Yes, we all know they are bs. When I open close to 250 regular/biah/headliner packs and I get one Gerret Cole diamond player…the odds and percentages are [censored].
No matter how many packs you open your chances of a diamond are 1 in 50 for each pack. The amount of packs you open is irrelevant.

I wouldn’t have a problem if the mode actually functioned like a true rogue-like where if you fail/die, at least you’ve gotten a bit stronger and your chances next time are a little better. If I beat the stadium challenge and don’t get the card, my next run the starting percentage should increase a little bit.
-
I would suggest for the SC to get bonus % for scoring X runs or hits or HRs

@BJDUBBYAH_PSN Bro, the whole point of Diamond Dynasty is to continually get more/better cards so you can improve your team so you can tackle the next challenge. The whole POINT is to get cards. So when I don’t get those cards after multiple tries, it is a waste of time.
Once again, you’re expecting to be “rewarded” for playing the game. You’ll have a much better time if you play the game because you enjoy it, and play the modes you enjoy. I used to love Ranked, events and BR, as years have passed I’ve enjoyed it less, so now, I don’t play those modes and I have a much better time.
Maybe try that.

One time I played a whole little league game and didn't get ice cream after.

@theBlindRhino_PSN And you clearly grew up to be a [censored]

The SDS apologists are something else. We are all entitled to our opinions but these people seem to ignore objective proof when it’s repeated right in their face to tirelessly support and champion the game like they own the company. It’s truly wild.

@TripleH-4481_PSN Almost cult-like. Glad this is just a video game community and not something important.

One time I went to the casino, expecting to win tons of money playing the slots. The odds were clearly posted, but I expected to win every time. Well, I lost, so I blamed it on a conspiracy theory I had about casinos wanting people to hate them and never come back, but I went back, and lost again.
Stupid casinos.

I just hate that they took my two least favorite modes (moments and showdown) and turned them into a board game. If there was a DQ that had all 3 inning games on the challenge squares, I would play the hell out of it. They could even make the stadium challenges 9 innings to differentiate from the other games on the map.
My first thought was "this is too much like conquest", but the more I think about it I like this idea. Especially since there are no repeatable conquests right now, this would be a good way to have something repeatable to grind out missions while still getting some rewards. The Epic rewards wouldn't even need to be specific cards necessarily, it could be like 7,500 stubs or something, essentially about the same value as selling an epic reward.

What’s truly wild, is hating a game, year after year, complaining about how much you hate said game, year after year, on a community forum, and buying said game, every single year.
That’s truly wild.

@BJDUBBYAH_PSN Oh don’t worry. I’m not gonna buy it again. It’s been slowly declining over the years in my opinion, and this year is the final straw. Pretty sure SD Studios doesn’t care…which is why they will get no more of my money.
-
@chrisham8380_PSN you’re blaming the casino.
-
@BJDUBBYAH_PSN I didn’t buy MLB The Show to play a casino game where rewards are given out by percentages. That’s what it’s become now, which is why I won’t be purchasing it again. Pack odds are one thing…but to complete the mode only for the percentage gods to say “sorry, try again” is not what I consider to be fun. And to have that happen 5 times is even less fun. The probability of loosing something at a 50% odds 5 times in a row is less than 4%, and my odds were much higher than that multiple times. So yes, I’m complaining because I don’t believe the “odds” that they post, and for a game like this, the “odds” should never be this bad.
-
@chrisham8380_PSN I got all 4 rewards playing 2 games at 49%; I’d say the odds are true.
-
And I got 1 reward playing 10 games at over 50% every time, so I say the odds are bs.

Or you can just save yourself the time and hassle and buy the cards.

Neither did I, I bought a baseball game with a fantasy mode, so I play it to play baseball, have fun and relax. And to unlock and collect cards to build squads. I don’t expect to be rewarded every time I play a three inning game.
-
That’s the real key. By making the odds bad enough people will just break down and buy the cards. Ultimately they would rather make $500 from 10 people than $100 from 50.
The amount is the same but hooking the whales, streamers, and addicts is far more profitable for them than casual gamers actually enjoying the product.
Money above all else and they are making that painfully clear. That’s the sad part, knowing the line in the sand has been drawn.
