Decreasing Ohtani/Judge Odds
-
Regulatory Scrutiny: In the US, the FTC monitors these monetization models; companies that use deceptive practices or fail to disclose the real odds of chance-based items risk severe penalties.
Looks like I'll be updating my complaint from last week.
Does anyone have or can tell me how to get a screenshot of the original odds?
I posted this Graphic way back early in the year when there were a limited number of diamonds. It specifically shows Ohtani at .008
Judge was also at .008 with Ortiz and Machado at .004 each to reach that .016% rate
-
Why do I have a sneaky feeling that this happened when they started the stub sale?
Keep the 2 gatekeepers marketplace value sky high. Sell stubs 50% off. No one is going to pay cash for enough stubs to buy Judge and/or Ohtani but they might buy enough for a 50 pack. -
Did it change for Ohtani when he went up to a 95 for the odds?
-
Here is the issue. I dont think you can change odds, mid game cycle when people are spending money and buying packs based on said odds. But I dont know. They definitely are manipulating things.

I don't that is the cause because Judge and Alvarez are both also at .006% odds.
The odds are going to change throughout the year for some of these.
If they have a roster update and add 6 new diamonds and only downgrade 3 diamonds to gold then some odds will be changed among the individual diamonds to maintain that 2% chance of a getting a diamond.
Nobody pays that close of attention to what cards get added or removed from standard packs that could affect odds of individual cards.
Still not a fan of the move though.

I mean, I wasn’t pulling them anyway. Especially not out of a standard pack.

This is what I was thinking, but everything I found just talked a mobile gaming. I did find something that said players must be notified if drop/pull odds change in China or India, maybe South Korea, too. But that doesn't do us any good.
I know what they can't do is list 12.5% odds for pulls out of an Ultra pack then give you a Bunny pack that doesn't even have listed odds andt is worth less then half of a 5 card Ultra pack. That much I was told for a fact and was asked tto send proof of. (Which I had.)

@KenKen71412_MLBTS interesting. Please let me know the results.

@Bridge-Piece_XBL FWIW, my Ohtani and 3 x Judge all came from standards.
They have been far, far better for me than BIAH packs despite more than three times the odds.

I don’t think I’ve ever pulled a top card from a standard. And I’ve never in my years playing pulled THE top card anywhere. I will not play the lottery.
