Anyone seen actual odds on Bobby Witt?
-
Funny thing is I just got the Bobby Witt Jr. All-Star card about 24 hours before this announcement was made.
-
Odds are posted now. 0.007% for the new Witt.
-
I joked on another forum asking if this means we need James Bond 007 in order to find it.

At this point in the cycle, I would have assumed that Witt would have been a collection for finishing the 3 mini-programs.
Alas, I am a sucker.

How does that compare to chase cards? Ohtani? Judge? Just curious without scrolling to look it up if anyone knows off hand. Making cards that rare is pretty ridiculous to begin with. They are virtual cards with no real value and exactly zero once this game cycle is done.
-
I don't mind content like this as it makes packs worth opening but yeah it's pretty brutal odds. Time to buy 10000 ish packs and hope I get lucky haha

well I guess goodbye 1 mill stubs, I love his swing and Bobby with power is wild.
-
I'll probably just buy him eventually. At this point I have more stubs then I know what to do with anyway.
-
First year in the last 8 I won’t collect all the cards in the game.

Thank you.
Explained why there are only 293 in circulation and there's zero on the marketplace.I'm sure plenty emptied their stub balances on pointless packs, so i'm sure SDS are happy, but by goodness it's a poor look, again.
-
Yeah they don’t even care anymore. Anything to make money at this point. I’m okay with conceits like the Witt card but the rarity is crazy.

@TripleH-4481_PSN It's getting to 2K levels of scarcity, which is very, very predatory and very, very anti-consumer.
It makes me worry about what's coming in the future because even in my two years playing i can see they're on a slippery slope downwards from being the most user friendly game to joining the pile of stank that is most sports games in 2026.
-
Its not even close to 2K or Madden levels in my opinion. It's still incredibly easy to get a ton of very good cards and tons of stubs completely free in this game.

The 2K comment was very specifically referencing the ridiculously rare drop rate of Witt, which is something 2K has been doing for a long time.
As I also said, it's always been more user friendly than those games, but there are signs it's going in the wrong direction and will eventually be in the same place as those games.

I have been playing since MLB the show 21 I think the rarest cards we’ve ever had was when you had to win 12 games in one event entry. And you could only do it once nlike BR people could repeatably earn the cards. Late in game cycle I think there were less of a thousand of those cards floating around.
-
It’s absolutely heading that direction. People that deny that always fall back on the ability to build a good team no money spent. It’s not about that, it’s about making cards ridiculously scarce and expensive. Making money is one thing but this is next level for sure.
-
@Pergo_MLBTS I don’t play the myteam mode in 2k so can’t speak on that I’m a park player only which that aspect of the game is very consumer friendly. Madden on the other hand maybe the most unfriendly for users no debate what so ever. Last year I think there was a 150$ bundle for a 4% chance at a bo Jackson card.
-
@virusts_PSN I have nothing against having the odd rare card for great online achievements.
I'll never get them, and that's okay, but at least they're rewards for performance and not 'give us money and hope you can gamble and beat the crazy 1:14,000 odds (rough maths). -
By my very rough (it's early morning) calculations, you'd need to buy 290x50 boxes to, on average, pull Witt.
That's 21,750,000 stubs.
Haha

He just dropped. I'd expect the drop frequency to increase as days go by. If people are going to spend actual money on simply hoping for him then I don't blame SDS for taking advantage of that.
