Bad luck protection for Live Diamonds
-
I’m primarily an offline player (maybe 5% online) and I’ve completed all available offline activities for every Featured Program so far (some of them multiple/many times - ex: Mini Seasons). It doesn’t feel very good to know that I only have 24 of the available Live series Diamond players after all the different packs I’ve opened along the way. Of those 24 Diamond players, I bought 2 of them through the marketplace.
I realize the Live series Diamond cards aren’t necessarily the best available overall but they’re the best players in the game based on (almost) real-time stats.
I’ve had 15-20 additional Live Diamond pulls from all the packs I’ve opened but they were duplicates of the players I already own. Meanwhile, I’m still waiting for my 1st “big name” pull like Trout, Ohtani, Ramirez, Acuna, DeGrom, Scherzer, Tatis, or even Hader. I still don’t have any of these players and I think that’s ridiculous when considering the overall number of packs I’ve opened (which is a lot).
Bad luck protection is used in other games to increase the odds of getting an item you don’t have and I believe it should be used in MLB The Show. I’m not saying we shouldn’t ever get duplicates - I’m saying with each Diamond card pulled in a pack, the odds of getting a player we don’t yet own should continuously increase in our favor.
For offline players, the grind to earn the XP for the “Featured Program” is already difficult after all available Moments, Missions, Conquests and Collections have been completed. This also includes the Moments available through the “Other Programs” section. When I think about the time investment and all the packs I’ve opened, the fact that I still don’t have any of the players mentioned earlier is disappointing.
Of course, this is just my opinion…
Sorry for the long post. If you made it this far, thanks for reading.

One word: Flipping

I feel like grinding for XP offline is easier than online. Mini Seasons alone is one of the biggest ways to get XP in bunches. You really don’t get that much XP playing H2H.

I’ve had no luck with pulls but I’ve had Brett since April 25th. Every non Live player card. 5 million banked stubs. Only money spent was base game. You either need to make your own luck or be satisfied with what the game gives you.
