    I’ve opened up over 1000 Headliners in the past few weeks as I try and open each Headliner from their pack. The odds are true and even out over time.

    I've pulled a Rizzo, MadBum, Dwight Evans, and Yelich. I don't know how many I've ripped, but I'd say about 150.

    All pack complainers need to take a basic statistics class. It's not at all surprising to not pull high diamonds regularly when the odds that you will not pull any diamond is 85%. Those odds do NOT get better simply because you open more packs.

    I've pulled low level LS diamonds here and there. About one every 20 packs or so on average. But I have went 50 plus packs with no diamonds at a time. But hey, they are free.

    This post brought to you by the guy who thinks EA will make a good baseball game that won't be pay to win

    I do still think that way & have faith in the game they will release, even though being DLC purchased based. I'm basing it on 2005 & what that would be today with today's advancement in graphics, software, algorithms, etc. ONLY negative is that yes it will also be DLC purchased based.

    But for now I play MLBTS because it is the ONLY game out there of it's kind. So it's either play this or nothing at all. Playing this is better then nothing at all. When you are starving, you eat what ever is offered to you, especially if it's the ONLY thing being offered to you LMAO

    basing it on 2005? your argument ends right there. STOP. EA destroyed the football game and they are not welcome to do the same for baseball. Sure it's easy to say it was great when there was NO online and everything was just in the game you bought. Diff time Diff company.

    This year getting free Headliners packs are so easy & as well getting them in abundance. However these Headliners packs are being promoted with several Mile-Stone & Signature Cards with chances of pulling them within packs.

    I have easily opened like 300 Headliner packs I earned from TA's, Conquest, Player Programs, etc, etc. And NEVER was anything better then LS Diamonds being pulled.

    Curious to know if any one has pulled any MS or Sig Cards from free Headliners packs & if only 1x or more then 1x. Or if these MS & Sig Cards are ONLY in Headliner Packs purchased with stubs?

    OMG! What is happening!?!? Helen Keller has more insight this.

    Just because your luck has been 💩, it doesn't mean that's the same for everyone. It clearly states the odds for the packs/booty inside said pack.

    Agreed!! I never pulled an Atom Bomb from the hundreds Garbage Pail Kids packs I opened but I know others did (jerks...)

    Rip off? No just the odds ahead of you.

    I really, really wanted that Atom Bomb card too. I'm still a little [censored]-hurt over that.

    I've only pulled LS from Headliners. But I don't pay for them they were all free so I don't really care.

    if you buy a lottery ticket do you just expect to win the lottery eventually? packs are the same concept.

    There is something CALLED "The Law Of Averages"

    Each of these packs are already pre-coded. The are NOT modded to generate randomness at the point they were opened. They had their contents pre-programmed before you even got them. That is why SDS can say what are the percentages within these cards. So the more packs 1 does open should increase the odds in your faver with which has "X" Cards within it. Some are just more lucky then others with getting packs with these cards.

    But in my OP, I simply wanted to know if anyone was getting these Cards from Free Headliners Pack or from Purchaesed Headliners Pack. This way I could know if it is possible with Free Headliners Packs & as well how frequently.

    Seriously? The only mystery is that Diamond is 1:10, but we don't know the odds for high diamonds/headliners. Certainly lower than that.

    But since SDS says "increased chance of finding x," then maybe it's 1:9? Who knows.

    There's no conspiracy here. You've had shitty luck and love to post long rants. That's the formula at work here.

    (BTW, I never pulled Trout before this year, and I pulled him 4 times this year, all when his values was at its highest. What are the odds???)

    Your "Law of Averages" is considered a valid common sense observation or misunderstanding of Probability...I believe the latter is the case here.

    The law of averages is the commonly held belief that a particular outcome or event will, over certain periods of time, occur at a frequency that is similar to its probability.[1][2] Depending on context or application it can be considered a valid common-sense observation or a misunderstanding of probability. This notion can lead to the gambler's fallacy when one becomes convinced that a particular outcome must come soon simply because it has not occurred recently (e.g. believing that because three consecutive coin flips yielded heads, the next coin flip must be virtually guaranteed to be tails). - per Wikipedia

    Let's see how much free stuff EA throws at us if/when their game comes out, right?

    People dog SDS but no game has done a better job of resisting the pull of predatory persistent monetization better than the Show. Look at all the free stuff they throw at us AND the ways in which they've redone online rewards to appeal to average players (RS cumulative wins and BR program).

    People here complain too [censored] much.

    I don't care what anyone says. The odds are OBVIOUSLY adjusted. On all packs. And I used to think otherwise. It really doesn't matter though. There's so many great cards out there that you can easily create your favorite team.
