    Example.. how is tatis 70k stubs and Pete crow only 10k.

    Skubal 30k as a 91 but all other 91s are 170k plus?

    If you know please explain.

    Thank you

    Supply and demand. Skubal and Crow-Armstrong started lower and bumped up on roster update so greater supply of them in the market.

    Plus this year SDS has manipulated the market by releasing very few of the live series gatekeepers to prolong the power creep and entice stub sales.

    The odds of pulling Ohtani are like 1 in 15,000 packs per show zone. The 2% diamond pull rate is a technicality that includes all diamond players and items. Very few are worth more the 2-3K stubs. It’s pathetic, ridiculous and borderline unethical.

    @TripleH-4481_PSN that makes sense. Thank you man. Appreciate the explanation. And i completely agree. Im averaging a live series pull every 125 packs this year. Ive been keeping track. Supposed to be 1 in 50. And when I do eventually get one its always a 3000 stubs card.

    No problem. Yeah packs are the worst they have ever been, at least since 2020, and it’s not close.

    Just a heads up to clear up any confusion, that is not how odds work. You are not supposed to pull one diamond every 50 packs. You have a 1 in 50 chance of pulling a diamond in each individual pack.

    @Pergo_MLBTS but wouldn't that be the same as if you open 50 packs on average a diamond should be there in one of those packs. 1 in 50 math still works out the same way.

    No, that's not what it means. Each pack opening is a separate event with a 1 in 50 chance. The amount of packs you open doesn't matter.

    Look at it this way. Each time you open a pack you are walking in to a room with a table that has 50 cards on it. Only one of those 50 cards is a diamond, and you are randomly given one of those 50 cards. Then the next pack is another room with a table with 50 cards on it and only 1 is a diamond. So each time you open a pack you are entering a new room with 50 new cards to pick from and only 1 diamond in each room. What happened in the previous rooms is irrelevant.

    Watch it. The probability nerds will tell you that’s not how statistics work. It’s 2% per pack so not exactly 1 in 50, just a ballpark odds per bundle.

    They use that excuse as to why you can open 200 to 300 packs and hit zero diamonds. Which I have done multiple times this year.

    Then when you do hit a diamond there is a 95% chance or more it’s a 2-3K quick sell. I used to enjoy flipping to get the cards I wanted but it’s been terrible to put it lightly this year unless you enjoy market simulator more than baseball.

    I loved 20 & 21, 22 was okay, 23 was different, 24 wasn’t great, 25 is bar far my least favorite of the 6. The gameplay feels “off”, the grind is unrewarding for time invested, packs are abysmal, DQ is a scam, and the market is basically dead.

    Sure, I could walk away, as many of my favorite posters would recommend doing, but then it’s basically closing the book on gaming for me and writing off a game I’ve played since the first one back in 2006 as a lost cause.

    @TripleH-4481_PSN agreed 💯. The gameplay is off and everyone is stating the same thing. Besides a few people undermining what everyone else is saying. They are plants

    I dont know how you dont realize that 1 in 50 is 2%. Saying it is ballpark odds is incorrect because you can see the exact odds of pulling any player from any pack. As for opening 200 packs and not getting a diamond, that has a 1.75% chance of happening. Not likely, but not impossible. I also find that the people who have bad pack luck recently tend to post about it more than the people who have average or above average pack luck. Personally, I feel like ive had pretty good pack luck this year

    Maybe people that choose to spend a good portion of their time being unhappy about a game that they can neither stop playing nor writing about create their own bad luck. Call it creating bad energy, fostering negativity, what have you… like there’s a correlation between being miserable and continued poor results, while the converse yields sweeter fruit.

    I tend to try to focus on the positive aspects of the game and I truly enjoy it. And I just pulled a Judge this evening out of a standard pack from TA. I’m sure that’s just a coincidence, though.

    Personally, I think the packs all have high diamonds and they simultaneously do not…

    That is why good schools and good education is so important..

    I recently met a guy who won at the lottery … played it 3 times. Wow #sarcasm 🙂
