Do card pack odds get audited by any independent regulators?
-
@aaronjw76_PSN Actually, taxes generally lead to inflated prices. That tax is always taken into consideration in the Selling prices. Without the tax, a seller could sell a card for a bit less, and still see more profit.
-
Absolutely there is and they openly publish the pull rates for any specific card from a pack on their website.
-
@SavageSteve74_PSN That's great transparency, but again, all internal. Nothing to say those published pull rates aren't faked (I don't think they are for the record). I wouldn't put it past EA with NHL and Madden to pull shenanigans such as faking published pack pull rates.
-
Whether they are audited by any independent regulators I have no idea, but the people holding them accountable for the odds are likely their lawyers. I doubt they are willing to open themselves up to lawsuits just to keep you or I from getting a couple more 85 diamond pulls. The stated odds are already a long shot as it is, so I just don't see why they would need to fudge anything to make them worse.

Odds?
1/50 show packs have a diamond?
Now that’s just diamonds, not 90+ live series which we are really after. I’d say 1-50 is about right.Ballin is supposed to be 1 in 5, which I don’t think that’s even close. I’d say 1-5 I get double golds. It’s like 1-25 I get a diamond.
Chase Packs should be a diamond100% all the time and they are not. Getting a gold in chase packs is infuriating. That needs fixed.
Do these odds should familiar to everyone?

@Pergo_MLBTS I would imagine you are correct. If word ever got out about fake pack odds, that would open the game studio open to a lawsuit for damages equal to all packs purchased.
-
@Teak2112_MLBTS I got three diamonds, including JRam in my loot from beating NT mini seasons last night. It can happen, it just is rare (as it should be).
-
@NWOStunna_PSN it is fixed after chase pack 1.
-
Yes, for sure. Ohtani and Judge were listed odds of 1/12,500. So that percentage is waaaayyy lower than pulling 85 Max Fried. Lower diamonds have much higher pull rates which is how the 1:50 odds is technically correct but not player friendly.
-
@TripleH-4481_PSN That right there is the crux of my issue then. Not all diamond cards are created equally. It would be like entering a raffle to win a new car. Sure, you might have 1 in 10,000 chance of winning a car, but let's say there are 100 cars getting raffled off. Of those 100 cars, 99 of them are Geo Metros, while the other 1 car is a Mercedes S-Class. Sure, both are cars, but not the same calibre.
-
Yep and I bet most people don’t realize that. It’s in the fine print but people think they have the same odds to pull all diamonds when that isn’t close to the case.
-
Just so everyone can learn something. 50-1 odds in NO WAY means that out of 50 packs you are guaranteed a diamond pull. What odds mean is that for EVERY 1 pack it contains a 50-1 chance that it contains a diamond pulls. It is still a chance and luck factor, and why it is possible to both go WAY over the odds in not pulling a diamond and then also pull 5 diamonds in 10 packs. Odds are not a guarantee, so please stop acting like it is fraud when it is just luck. What better odds get more packs by grinding
