Pack odds are manipulated.
-
Just an FYI, because I’m done arguing with you over this, to get a true and accurate sample size, you’d need over 20,000 pack openings.
It should be doable. Just go to a few of the many exploiters and check their pack history. If you have the time that is...
-
I like the way you’ve been doing it and adding analysis to show the deviation isn’t that far off. That was directed at the other one who just can’t grasp RNG based probability odds.
-
Thanks... I just wish I had the time to go through 20,000 pack history listings in June... Not retired yet, close, but not yet.

@SavageSteve74_PSN what did you say Steve? It cannot be proven either way so let a man vent about it. Who cares. We could be wrong we could be right. Insane that some of you think this greedy company doesnt manipulate its game and odds on purpose. They have already proven they can lie. They cant even fix menu lag. But you think their odds system is correct and intact? Everything is bugged. But their odds are great right? Exactly what they say they are.

I’ve gone through similar diamonds droughts in previous years. Maybe not with that many packs but it certainly felt like it.
FWIW I’ve only pulled 2 live series diamonds since the glitch exploiters - but they were Skubal and JRam so I can’t really complain.
-
Cards in this game are obviously meant to emulate real baseball cards, and I dont know about you all but ive probably opened thousands of packs in my life without ever pulling a single one thats actually worth money. So in my experience, SDS odds are actually a lot better than they could be lol
-
I haven't opened a diamond since that glitch scandal ... I haven't been counting but I would say it's easily over 100.
-
@CoachPappy17_PSN you realize there have been multiple gaming companies found guilty in the recent past of doint this, not having correct odds listed. Since this is considered gambling in many countries they take it seriously. EA games was sued I believe and so was Fortnight.
-
@Bridge-Piece_XBL you could definitely complain - because of the glitchers and glitches, no Live Series has any value now, except for Judge and Shohei
-
As long as the odds check out in the end they can manipulate with free reign. They very well could have tightened odds and if they loosen them in say November the final tally will look legit. Based on my personal experience and reading the forum it’s pretty clear the odds are awful right now. Don’t worry though they will all look fine by the close of this game cycle.

@TripleH-4481_PSN exactly what I have been saying! They can absolutely manipulate the odds throughout the course of the year. Raise the odds, they can lower them etc. As long as it comes out to 1 out of 50 or close to it, (which is very easy to accomplish), by the end of the year they pass their audit. If there is even an audit done against them? Why is this so hard for people to comprehend? They manipulated the pack odds after the glitch to recoup all the money they lost. Is this so far fetched to the point where you self righteous company men have to come on here and bash people and call them conspiracy theorists and name call?

@rushmore_NSW I got LS Yordan out of a BIAH the other night, but yeah that's been it for a few weeks
-
Someone tell me the odds of opening up 357 packs without a diamond
Can't tell you the odds of that. But I can tell you the odds of the likelihood of you making another post complaing about something.

Regardless of whether anyone believes OP or not the whole pack system is broken or more so pointless.
SDS gives us plenty of free packs but pulling gate keepers is obviously rare given the ridiculous prices of some and the pathetically low price of others . I get it SDS is all about making people buy stubs but here is something to chew on. I opened 35 earned packs today, regular and Ballin....I earned about 10,000 stubs from them. Thats about average. If I spent no stubs on anything else I would have to open over 4000 packs to afford Judge and Ohtani or one could spend $900 on stubs just to buy those 2 cards.....lol its just absolutely ridiculous and funny to think about.
Bottom line is 95% of the live series cards have no use in this game and as time goes on I'd estimate 75% of earned/unlocked cards have no use in the game. This makes the market a joke. Too many cards earn you nothing while making a few unattainable. If anyone has spent hundreds on stubs I'd love to know why.
-
I think it would benefit everyone (SDSand players) if they found a way not to have two gatekeepers that are WAY more expensive. Spread the cost over many different cards. Cant be done mid-season, but there should be a way to do it.
A bigger problem is that there's no way to use most of these cards - no incentive to have most cards. We badly need another mode that rewards players for having these cards - makes you form theme teams, makes you use neglected cards, etc
-
@allday9128_PSN shut your mouth. What is your purpose of saying that? Like there isnt a lot to complain about. And I make a post of my own maybe a total of three times the entire year. And when I do, for example making a post to ban the pack glitchers, they are valid posts.

The only way to do that is to increase the odds of pulling those guys. They aren't setting the market values, though the values are high because people aren't pulling them.
But if people didn't notice, the 2 gatekeepers shot up while the other guys went down after the glitch exploiters ruined the market.

shut your mouth
What is your purpose of saying that?
What is the purpose of playing a video game if you're just going to complain about it constantly?
-
Definitely happens. It's not a huge sample size, so you can definitely open 300-500 packs with no ls diamond. I've done it on a couple occasions this year. But, overall I probably pull right around the odds. But I hate this stupid odds they show you I wish they would show us the odds per Diamond cuz obviously it's like what 1 and 13,000 to pull like a 94.95 life series where it's like one out of 30 or something to pull a 85 or 86 I would like to see it all of the live series diamonds odds

I've had plenty of video games, TV shows, books, subscriptions, etc. that I started to not like. Instead of complaining I stopped playing them, stopped watching/reading them, stopped subscribing, etc.
Like I get this game isn't perfect, but the hate being spread around is toxic.
