I think Pack Odds are a lie and just for show!

I know the fan boys will jump all over this but speaking to lots of mates who play the show everyone has the same observation. Pack pulls are way worse than last year so there is no way that pack odds can be the same! I love the game and think it's great, but this seems to be an observation I see voiced quite a lot.
Last 5 "Chase Packs" all gold! Over 25 Ballin packs not one diamond! Not even a gold from the many headliners! And have opened hundreds if not thousands of packs!
Haha, just opened a 50 pack bundle now! Chase = gold 80 of course!, Bundle = 50 golds highest an 82. Absolute garbage!
I’ve had good luck with normal packs for diamonds, but I do think streamers and such folk have better pack odds for commercial reasons
-
I opened 40 packs in last 24 hours via Mystery Map and got one Diamond in Sale and maybe 2 golds? Silver is even rare in these packs for me
-
I just got Acuna last night, T. Turner last week, along with Bieber and Wheeler. They have been better for me so far this year, last year not so much
Edit, that was just mystery map packs, I got Harper, Betts, Arenado and Robert early on

It's called "Marketing" .... Just like every company hyping their product or services to be the best, cheapest, tastiest, fastest, etc. .... "No Body Beats Our Prices" .... "World's Best Pizza" ... etc, etc.
With SDS is them claiming pack odds are more in favor this year to have Diamonds. All Marketing BS to pacify us. But pack odds are all BS. It just boils down to random pot luck & chance. Just how some will pull Trout 2 & 3 times in a year & some have only pulled him only 1 time in 4 to 5 years, some have never pulled a Trout ever. However there are many Trouts within packs to be pulled. It's just a matter if you are that freaking lucky to get packs having high tier Diamonds, including Trout which is always every year the highest stub value Live Series Diamond card.

Yes they are absolute garbage. Unless you suck up to SDS. Just had a guy tell me odds are fine because he has pulled trout 3 times. Of course most of his posts were defending the game. I however will not defend this copy and paste trash just to get better odds in packs -
Where are you all winning this many packs? Did you somehow sneak back into TA from 21 and smuggle the packs over? I played last night for 4 hours, I finished the FotF program, I completed the East map and about 30 points of the Cover program. I had 11 packs to open, 9 of them show packs. I really hope they are just trying to spread things out (not necessarily a bad thing), but if the amount of packs, stubs and XP doesn't increase, there won't be a ton of people playing come summer. I know, I know...."what else are you gonna play?" This just seems like a massive overcorrection to the excessive nature of 21.

I have yet to get a surprise "Chase Pack" within a "Show Pack" or even yet earn any "Chase Packs" from Programs or Conquest.
-
As of today, I have opened 243 show packs in '22. So far, I have pulled zero diamond player cards. The only "diamonds" I have pulled are a bat, a uniform, and a ritual item. To be honest, I losing interest.
-
Been playing this game a lot the last 3 years and I've never pulled a 90+ diamond.
This year I would say I'm averaging more diamonds then the average. But the last two years were brutal.

I'm sure your aware of this; but the odds don't mean that one in every 50 packs you buy/earn will contain a Diamond. It means that you have a 1 of 50 chance to pull a Diamond out of that particular pack.
I’m not sure you’re aware but to not get a 1/5 chance in 25 attempts is ridiculously low. To not get a 1/5 outta 130 chances sounds fraudulent.

Odds (noun): the chances or likelihood of something happening or being the case.
Well it sounds like they’re sticking to the dictionary definition… Not sure where the problem is?
-
I haven't kept a spreadsheet but I've paid rough attention to my pack odds over the last 2 years and they have been almost dead on to what's advertised. Which makes sense because they're obviously not lying about it. If they were they'd make it seem better. A normal pack is 1:50 to get ANY diamond, including 85s. Those aren't very exciting odds, certainly not worth lying about. And I've never spent a dime so I have no reason to fudge my results.
-
I'll go 0 for 100+ packs and then pull 3 in 20. The odds seem correct based on my results. They just come in waves for me.
-
Since the program(s) were pretty stingy with pack rewards so far, I've been running the mystery map over and over. That was most of my xp for this first feature program.
23 diamond pulls in total, all but 3 from that map. They just come in streaks. 5-6 in the first couple days, then I went over 200 packs without a diamond player (couple stadiums and an icon or some such), then back to 5+ in 3 days,
Did well over this weekend, so might be looking at another dry spell now.
-
I get dry times where i pack zero diamonds but ive had 50 bundle give me 95 pujols then ohtani and vlad jr in the 50 packs, And then ive opened 200 packs without a low diamond

I stopped buying packs in 21 because of this.

Played last night and opened about 20 packs no diamonds but have had awesome luck. Bought Jram to finish of the Cleveland collection.

When did SDS ever claim that odds for diamonds are better this year? That is total BS. Odds are right there with the packs, always. They're NOT GOOD. They never were.

I saved up like 30 packs and pulled Harper and Bieber and then saved up a few more and pulled Freeman but that has been it mostly silvers and bronze except for the new bronze and silvers. Looking at you Seiya Suzuki.
