They can claim any odds they want. Doesn't mean its true. I feel like they are even lower then what they claim them to be.
Do you realize that would be illegal? Do you really think a company as huge as Sony, with its thousands of lawyers, are going to risk a gigantic lawsuit just to make sure a few less people pull a diamond from a show pack?
I am really happy that someone here realizes that. I roll my eyes every time someone says the pack odds are a lie.
That is just a huge risk I can't see them taking
There is always the risk of a coding error, but the chances of Sony trying to scam people with odds different than listed intentionally is 0%.

Love to see all the usual SDS [censored] kissers make excuses on literally every post in this forum. Do they pay yall?

They've definitely nerfed what you can pull by including choice pack awards in regular packs and they've used the stat updates to flood more low cost diamonds. It was way more rewarding early on for packs but that's common every year. Pack odds of pulling diamonds isn't bad though
-
Something definitely changes in the coding for pack odds once we get to November and beyond. I noticed it dramatically w/ '24 after the WS. I was able to pull decent diamonds in regular packs about 1:10-1:15 ratio...and that's not fabricated. (And feel free to correct me if they actually increase diamond odds in the Shop come November and I didn't look closely enough at the fine print.)
I'm sick of the defending of SDS on this as well, because there is definitely something skewed just beyond the grey line of the unknown. We'll of course never know and continue to speculate, but when Bobby Witt Jr is the only decent pull I've received since March, I find myself siding with the frustrated majority.

I mean, the odds for every card are posted. Nothing is a secret.
Its possible the high diamond odds are lower this year (I have no idea what they were in the past), but to claim SDS is manipulating the odds makes you look like a tin foil hat idiot.Nobody is defending SDS, people are just calling out that the tinfoil hat nonsense is just that: nonsense.
And yes they changed diamond from 1:50 to 1:8 for the forever season last year.

@Dirty-Dowdy_XBL feels like a pay to win pay to play...think I'm done

If they can change the odds, instead of double xp, how about a 1 in 25 weekend? Just a suggestion. My issue with the 1-50 is, when you finally get that one and it’s an Easter Egg card. That 1-50 should be live series diamonds and Chase cards only.
-
I've had shippy tack luck all year until I pulled vladdy pipeline past and trout in consecutive packs today. thank you SDS gods. I am now like 300k from Beltran.
-
@NWOStunna_PSN right jersey and unlockables should not be included
-
When you factor in the diamond items plus all the low tier diamonds in the game eligible in pretty much every pack that’s how SDS skates by on claiming 2% diamond odds.
It’s criminally misleading when you realize the real shot at Ohtani and Judge is not 1:50 it’s 1:12,500 per show zone. Let that sink in for a minute and tell me how that is okay. From a business standpoint it’s equal parts brilliant and shady.
-
@TripleH-4481_PSN The packs say 1:50 for player items which does not include equipment items. 1:50 for any 85+ does not equate to 1:50 for Shohei or Judge.
-
@Cam8w_MLBTS I decided to start keeping track of Gold/Diamond pulls in The Show packs...In my last 943 packs I have pulled 69 Gold and 27 Diamond. That's right about correct for the overall odds for 80+ and a bit ahead of the diamond pull rate...Buuuuuttttt, they have cluttered the diamonds with some that are not even worth 3K fast sell. Out of the 27 diamonds I have pulled only a couple were not basically fast sell value. I haven't pulled a live series Diamond better than Skenes since Day 1 of Inning 2.
-
@Cam8w_MLBTS I opened 200 shows, 22 ballins and 20 headliners and pulled 6-8 diamonds. So Seems like you just got unlucky. The odds are the odds.

@RAisEdByGoAt_XBL said in Pack odds:
Of course they can manipulate the numbers. Sometimes they manipulate the odds so that’s it’s easier to pull than what’s described and sometimes they make it harder than what’s described. In casinos, slot machine technicians essentially do the same thing depending on the request of the casino but are still staying compliant within state laws. To think just because odds “say” something that they can’t go in and make it very tough or very easy is dull minded and you aren’t thinking outside the box. Sony is running a business and that is their model
Go to the show shop and press the 3 lines button and you can go see the full odds for pulling any player from any pack. They have absolutely no wiggle room to nerf packs from the posted percentages

Mine was blue 3B when I still needed Ramirez and it was Glaus for 7K. Ultimate troll job and classic example of how getting the top diamonds is nearly impossible. Even more cheap diamonds have flooded the market and tanked already long odds.
I had this happen yesterday...Blue OF(I need Judge, Trout, Betts, and Ohtani) and I got all tingly in my happy place and it was just Standout Chris Taylor.
