Pack odds are manipulated.
-
@go4stros25_PSN its unbelievable. Im literally just laughing now as I open packs.
I went through a stretch probably 2021 where I was around 325 packs without a diamond. Been there, done that. Really sucks the desire to play.
-
@TripleH-4481_PSN it is demoralizing. Last night I had around 50 standards, 4 ballin, about 6 deluxe, 5 headliners, and the boss pack from the paxkaloosa program.
I thing I got one Jeremy pena. And every deluxe pack was baseround fodder.
I saw a streamer (the annoying blonde guy that usually plays madden) grt 2 ohtanis in a span of like 3 standard packs.
You will never convince me streamers don't have better odds. It's as simple as placing them in a group with higher pack odds. Yes, it is that easy.
-
Obviously they give streamers better odds. When you scroll down on twitch to the 234th ranked game being broadcast to the enormous amount of 1,000 people you’ll get twitch streamers getting all the juiced packs lol. Real and true.

You truly are clueless about gaming companies and streamers. It really doesn't surprise me anymore how absolutely clueless and naive people are. It is why people like YFK have money.
You going to explain why YFK hasn't been banned too?

Some of you older guys gotta go

Well, I just blocked another account here. I learned a valuable lesson many years ago. Anytime you call someone wrong -- regardless of the language you use -- you have a moral obligation to provide hard proof why they are wrong. Else, you are just tossing empty insults around.
Moreover, simply saying someone is wrong is a world removed from calling someone "clueless." When people chose to throw that kind of language around, it shows they have an agenda at work, and odds are very high it isn't a good one.
Finally this, anytime one is speaking in regards to how computer code works, the reality is that the only people who truly know how the code performs are the people who wrote the code. Is it possible for select customers of a video game to be manually added to a special list who have something like odds of higher quality cards?
Yes, it is possible. Thing is no one here knows if that is happening. And unless someone has hard evidence of these so-called "streamers" receiving significantly higher shares of diamond type cards, then accusations that they are fail to carry much weight.
I think the larger issue here isn't whether a small group of customers receive preferential treatment. Instead, the real issue is whether this game release was coded in such a way as to give less in rewards for equal or even greater in-game success?
I cannot say. I don't play DD modes. This constant angst about the difficulty of grinding -- it's too easy, it's too hard, it's unfair -- is just one reason why the whole DD game mode turns me off. The other reasons are people cheating in online play because for foolish reasons such people think success in a video game equals success in the real world, when it doesn't.
I think video games, particularly those based on sports, threw away what made them special when they started to focus on virtual trinkets and arcade style online and offline game modes, vice just focus on building the most realistic and visually attractive sports game experience. Meaning, make playing the game itself the focal point, and not all the other junk!
In other words, if playing the actual game of baseball isn't the draw for you, then buying MLB The Show should be a mistake. There should not be anything present in the title that artificially tries to spice up playing baseball.
I think eventually the video game companies are going to learn this. But, it's going to take customers walking away from bad experiences before it happens. Ultimately, if this game is making you angry, then just simply stop playing that mode that makes you angry, and if all the game modes make you angry, then stop playing the game.

@ApolloZ_99_MLBTS lol why? What was said that ruffled your feathers?
Old is relative, what is old to you?
-
@go4stros25_PSN if you middle age and above in here complaining everyday. You gotta go. Some of yall [censored] near 40 or 50 in here crying about everything. It’s embarrassing.
-
@ApolloZ_99_MLBTS lmao that makes no sense. Who do you think started the video game generation. 40 and 50 year olds bro. Nintendo came out when they were all kids growing up. If anything they have more say then anyone else. They were playing games when you were
in your diapers. Or before. I was probably playing cod before you left your mom's nipples Lil brother. -
@Ditka06-_MLBTS I agree older people tend to be wiser but in this group of almost geriatrics no. Frontal lobes must of been fried when they were young. I am almost middle aged. It’s not every single old person in here. Just cuz someone is older doesn’t automatically make them wiser either.
-
@ApolloZ_99_MLBTS true I edited that and removed the wiser part lol. Added nipples in there lmao. For ya.
-
@ApolloZ_99_MLBTS I dont know man. I feel like the old guys could cry about video games all day everyday and not be nearly as pathetic as some of the stuff you young people get triggered over.
-
@go4stros25_PSN I feel like us older guys like the competition more as well. And are more willing to play online. Because thats what we grew up with. We grew up when call of duty was epic. Etc. Everyone would talk smack online over the Mike's. Keeps us young. I hope all of you play until you are 50 and then some. Age doesnt matter. Its the mind..
-
@ditka06-_mlbts competition? You are in here crying about that everyday. You grew up when the mlb was in the steroid era. Participation trophies came from yall.
-
@ApolloZ_99_MLBTS I think this was meant for me? Lmao
-
@go4stros25_psn your generation tries to inflict pain cuz some of yall were sold for an 8ball by your parents. Now the newer generations sure you are right about.
-
@ApolloZ_99_MLBTS im 33.
-
@go4stros25_PSN eh you still considered young adult for now but you close, which also means we played the same games.
-
@ApolloZ_99_MLBTS im 43. Trust me not alot of difference between 43 and 33. Once you hit 30 we are all the same.
-
Disagree. After 40 you can never, never again take a fart for granted because as soon as you do….shart.
Shart happens
