Has there ever been a time?

I think most of us are raising our eyebrows at the sheer number of duplicates
I can understand that especially for the 85 overall cards since there are 19 of them.
Getting the same card back to back would not be unheard if but it should not be common.
I am more inclined to assume it would be a quirk or bug in the RNG instead of some type of manipulation.

@Onix_Savage22_PSN [censored] this game.

@Dolenz_PSN happens way too often. Duplicate cards. There are 19 85s ok. But how many 85s through 87s are there. 30? Odds of pulling duplicate diamonds in this range are 1 out of 30 twice, should be less than a 3.33 percent chance of happening. And it happens all the time. Im correct see below.
ANY Matching Pair: 1 in 30 (3.33%)
If you just want to know the chances of the second card matching whatever the first card happened to be:
The first draw doesn't matter: You have a 100% chance () of pulling something.
The second draw must match: Since there is only one of that specific card back in the deck of 30, your odds are 1 in 30. -
So anytime you pull back to back same cards in the 85 to 87 range you just hit a 3.33% chance.

@allday9128_PSN fair I was just coming to see if this year is measly getting blown out of proportion or rly is that bad.
That all depends on who you ask lol.
I've been browsing through these forums since theshownation days and its always been the same.
Should've been here whenever Ramone got caught mocking the people complaing about line drive outs after he thought a stream ended. Those were the good ol days lol
-
Its just like this every year. And its usually the same people that just flood the forum with non-stop complaining. Every year its "the game is dead", "players are leaving the game", "when <insert new game> comes out there will be nobody left". And they'll all be back next year saying the same thing.
-
@Onix_Savage22_PSN it’s bad every year but this is by far the worst.

@Pergo_MLBTS there are alot of valid complaints. Thanks for having our backs though. Everytime someone has a valid complaint and someone comes in behind them and says they are just a complainer etc. Contradicting complaints and calling most people habitual complainers does act as counter productive to all the valid complaints. We are the consumers they are the corporation that makes money off our satisfaction. Which side do we all fall on? If its theirs fill out an application.

Incessantly complaining and coming up with conspiracy theories is also counter productive to the actual valid complaints.

@allday9128_PSN packs suck well leave it at that how about that. Everyone can agree with this. I really did not need to come up with a conspiracy theory for everyone to agree. Could be something to it or not. Bottom line packs suck. We will leave it there. Oh and packs sucking is an absolute valid complaint that 99 percent of people agree with.

I have said multiple times that there are valid complaints. Nobody has ever claimed otherwise.

Sorta how VLTs work in a casino? Real casinos use real slots and are random....mickey mouse casinos use VLTs as slots (predetermined). Im thinking thats what you people mean w predetermined packs? from wiki on VLTS...In some jurisdictions, VLTs do not contain a random number generator, and display results from a fixed pool controlled by the central system (in similar fashion to scratch-off lottery tickets).

Ik me personally I’ve never even thought about giving up on this game before atleast late October early November. This year bring in late may is crazy.
That's how I feel.
Most years I'd have the live series done or atleast half by now (easily) without crazy grinding.
I've definetly played less this year and because of a number of factors didn't prioritize live series anyways. But I've pulled jram early and besides that I haven't pulled anything of value. Even the mural type packs I've gotten base round like EVERY time.
I grind mini seasons for 10 pack bundle and if I'm lucky I get Jeremy Pena.
I feel like I'm not upgrading my team from week to week. By the time I get to Soto or lindor I don't feel like they're much better than elly or trout (who I'm using in right)
Its easier to complete programs mindlessly than in past years but I feel like for the most part programs aren't boosting my teams.
Meanwhile you constantly see chase pack and 700k collections able to improve your squad. But by the time you get to mickey mantle now in citysquad he's already outdated and not really better than what you may already have.
I used Kyle tucker new threads card for the longest time and I feel like if I used him I wouldn't be disadvantaged too much over someone using the new Soto. Especially with p5 modded tucker. That's kind've a good thing if you like the player but also it doesn't really light the fire to tirelessly grind for a lateral move

I think most of us are raising our eyebrows at the sheer number of duplicates. That makes it seem very strange. While 85s might be relatively common, the fact you can pull the same exact card repeatedly seems a little predetermined and not so random.
In other words certain cards with the same rating seem to be pulled far more often than others which shouldn’t happen as much as it does in this game. I remember it being like this in previous versions of the show but this year is noticeably worse.
Now you with the tinfoil hat?
The probability is listed per card. All live series cards at the same rarity have the same probability. The only time this may be different is with 'special inserts' that they have started doing in the packs. But these probabilities are listed as well (and usually a higher overall anyway).
NBA2K, however, quite famously and blatantly does this. Pretty obvious when there are 100 copies of one card on market but only 2 of another.

I can’t put my finger on it or figure it out but I feel like there’s a mix of this sort of thing going on here.
My pack luck this year is just abysmal and I get so many repeat silvers/golds and other weird stuff in every pack bundle where it almost seems like they’re pre-ordained
Just finished the multiplayer program for the 3rd time and in said 50 packs + chase bundle I pull an 85 once and an 85 on the chase pack as usual for the 3rd straight time.
Most notably receive so many duplicates of the same silvers and golds in said bundle that I have no other choice than to not believe the %chance spreadsheet they post as true odds for players on an RNG basis.
Been this way all season
I feel like I’ve opened more packs this season than any other and I pull low round in every premier pack sometimes 2-3 of the same player, etc.

I'll never understand the need to come up with conspiracy theories to try and explain why something that has a 2% chance of happening (pulling a diamond), does not happen very often.
-
@vinnis1_PSN this is exactly what packs are equivalent to. Scratch off lottery tickets.
-
We can all agree packs suck and are extremely unrewarding. Some of us believe something else is going on and the odds are not completely random. Others believe it is pure randomness and believe the company and probably believe everything the government tells them also
. We have blind followers, those are called sheep and we have critical thinkers in this world that guestion things at times.
