Are Ballin' Packs broken?
-
You guys must be new to The Show.
Most of us have already known for years that the packs' real name is: Drumroll.......
"Ballin' Is A Gold."
Lower your expectations & you won't be disappointed, although I pulled Shohei in BIAG last season!
For '26, we should rename them: 'No Dice & Not Nice' packs 🤪
They'll have you singing: "Oh, NDNN's. Heal my soul, when as a whole, it's outta control with all these pack wrappers in the crapper, when all you yield is Gold?" -

1 - Getting a Gold
2 - Getting your hopes up after the odds finally work in your favor---there's a diamond! Unfortunately, once again, it's an 85 overall worth 3,000 stubs. So you're probably gonna have to wait god knows how long again to get another chance, haha. -
Opened hundreds of packs and only pulled diamonds from twitch packs..getting frustrated

@SaveFarris_PSN Well, I have a mathematics degree, so yes, oh patronising one.

Maybe I'm the only one, but honestly I get excited when I see 2 golds in a pack. I don't care if they don't get me diamonds. This year I don't rely on them. I'm not a person who actually ever pulls diamonds or gatekeepers I just grind stubs I sell everything as I possibly can, and i'm about ninety five percent done with the world baseball classic program and i'm sitting now on 232k stubs.

Ballin is A Bad Habit. Ripped just over 30 of them since last night and 1 diamond.

Haha I remember the 'Ballin is a gold' thing, but it's never been as egregious as it is this year for me.
Well over 40 packs now without a single diamond.

I hit two diamonds...low ones, always my luck but I generally just only pull golds so I feel your pain. It's always luck of the draw. I got packs and after packs without pulling one and then pull two within three or four packs

It’s because the past couple of years they have skewed the odds of pulling a decent diamond heavily by including all diamonds, especially plenty of the 85 1.5K stub cards.
This makes pulling an 88 or higher live series diamond almost impossible, relatively speaking. It’s a good business model that pushes people towards buying stubs. Although it’s not as consumer friendly as it was even just a few years ago.
It’s frustrating but just gotta lower your expectations significantly and stay patient. Plenty of free packs to earn in game even if 99% contain nothing you actually want, need, or can sell to make stubs off.

And somehow still better than how Ballin used to be. They used to not even guarantee golds or even silvers.
