Decreasing Ohtani/Judge Odds
-
@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.
"Not to brag but the 3rd time I won the Powerball, I picked numbers from the alphabet."
Signed, NotesOfJohn.Just kidding and having some fun. I've been lucky with the Headliners packs, just not recently. Overall I think I've pulled most of the specials out of those.
-
I'm Judge and Ohtani away from the LS- so that's not happening. And neither is any of the inning bosses(I got Clemens 2 innings ago but that's it)
-
I just need Judge.
I even equipped the 'Here comes the Judge' bat skin for my squad. Sometimes, I square for a bunt just to see it, in a desperate attempt to pull his dang card. -
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.
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.)
I just noticed that Bunny pack is no longer in the ultra packs and is now in the premier pack.

I don't think I've pulled a headliner all year. I had some decent luck early in the season, but since like May it's been atrocious. I'm debating not even opening my packs anymore.

@KenKen71412_MLBTS Haha.
First to admit I had a ton of luck this year (and it's the only reason I have all collections done).Last year i didn't pack either card.
-
@Bridge-Piece_XBL That's rough, dude.
I got that way last year after not getting anything decent all year.
It wasn't actually worth my time to open my packs. -
As we know, Roster Updates bring shifts to player items as players move between OVRs.
The previous update did increase the odds of pulling a 92+ OVR Live Series player positively, but lowered the individual player odds of Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge.
You will be more likely to find 92+ OVR players after the roster update tomorrow.
-
Right now those two cards, in real money, cost about $900.
SDS then decided to make them almost 33% harder to pull.
That stinks, and no amount of corporate massaging changes that.
-
Exactly. Bottom line is that those 2 cards should be far more common than they are. Especially at this point in the game cycle. The only reason to keep them that rare is pure greed.
If anyone cares about gatekeeping those cards from others they have some serious ego issues. I don’t care what cards any other player has as long as they worked for them and didn’t cheat to get them.
-
We can all afford 92s now. There is no "upper middle class" really, so to speak, on live series anymore. They're around 11 to 20 k. Not like past years when they were in the 60s to low hundreds.
Raising the limit for Shohei and Judge to a million stubs was BS. They did that midway through last year and it's been crappy ever since. You can't turn a few 92s into Shohei with sales and a little good fortune anymore.
You either play the (broken) market VERY hard, pull them, or you're hosed. -

Do you think this makes it ok?
-
With today's roster update and ratings changes, the odds have improved today to 0.01%. So it went from 1 in 12,500 earlier in the year, to 1 in 16,666.7 a few days ago, to now being 1 in 10,000.

Notice how Joe comments on this post when it has to do with odds and money. Never see him comment on game play issues we post, if he does its very rarely. I made a post with over 12k views about game play and lack of online programs, chasing away average or the casual plater base etc. No Joe anywhere to be found. Just stay quiet like you have been we no longer need your input. If you cant see how a big portion of the player base is disappointed, then im not sure what else to tell you or say.

Not letting him off the hook by any means but I think it’s clear Sony has pushed SDS to make as much money as possible while cutting their resources to the bone. SDS certainly isn’t helping their cause by lying and a total lack of transparency. Either way it’s sad that things have gotten this bad this fast.
-
I just need Ohtani to finish the NL, hopefully I can pull him in a pack.
-
I’m Ohtani away from live series with 670k in stubs and his price is going up…..again.

Prices always go up on roster update days. He'll likely go back down again in a few days.

@XxDeathReyxX_PSN You're a better man than me, dude.
I would have tapped out by now had I not been lucky enough to complete live series after 6 months. -
I'm at 1.75m stubs with Ohtani & Judge to go (along with probably at least 400k in uncollected cards that can still be sold). However, I refuse to buy either until the prices return to pre-flash sale (Ohtani <600k, Judge <400k). Well, unless it's for flipping. I did buy Ohtani tonight but flipped him for 52k profit lol.
