99's day one (if you buy stubs)

The Chase cards are literally the only ones behind a pay wall lol…So because 3 or 4 cards are that way you think the game is pay to win?
And I would argue that every Diamond Duo pack is a paywall. Yes you can earn those packs for free in programs but let's be honest and admit that the overwhelming majority of players will never earn any 99's from those packs. The odds are not in our favor. For those of us who have not been lucky the only way to get them is with a, usually significant, outlay of stubs.
Using pack luck as a argument against something being a paywall is a pretty weak argument in my opinion.
Forty Four 99 overall diamonds released so far in Diamond Duo packs is more than 3 or 4 cards. You may think that people are exaggerating the issue and that is fine but exaggerating your position to counter them is no different.
Of course maybe in the end we all have varying definitions of what exactly a pay wall is.

Feel free to block me if you don’t like my opinion. I’m going off from numerous posters on this forum and vids on you tube that can see the writing on the wall. You two guys are 2 of the biggest SDS supporters on the entire forum. They can do no wrong on your end and are the best company ever. While SDS isn’t EA they have clearly made a calculated shift to increase microtransactions. It’s been pointed out numerous times by numerous posters that getting the best cards in the game is much more difficult than it has been since 2018. The grinding argument is crazy because time is worth something to all of us. You guys keep living in fantasy land though and I will remain a realist. Bottom line I enjoy the game but not nearly as much as in years past and the grind is exhausting, discouraging and largely unrewarding. Voicing concerns gets a lot more accomplished as far as change in the game moving forward as opposed to just relentlessly singing their praises. You aren’t gonna change my mind and I’m not going to change yours so let’s just agree to disagree and move on.
Regardless of what you may believe about me, I don’t spend my time in the forums constantly complaining about a video game, and that is exactly what it is a video game. I also don’t make generalizations and assumptions about others without proof of my claims. Doing whatever it is that you think makes you claim true is false. Anecdotal evidence is not evidence it’s conjecture. You have provided nothing that supports your claim that more people are quitting this year as opposed to any other normal year. I have many issues with this game but there are issues every year. And me sitting here complaining about my issues with the game are counterproductive and yield nothing.

There is definitely luck involved with packs. Very similar to going to a casino. Some people hit a jackpot & go home happy, While others will be bummed.

I think the complaints are a little extreme. I’ve been able to get any card I’ve wanted and still have 700k saved without spending any money on stubs. And I have multiple boss packs just sitting in my inventory that could be sold.
I feel like the people who are really complaining are either bad at saving stubs or think they should be able to have every card in the game without winning or doing much.
I think it’s good it’s a little tougher to get every card. Previous years you could pretty much get any card with less than an hour of grinding. I think that’s a big reason why a lot of people quit playing in July. No challenge, nothing to work towards.
Flipping?
Not at all. Just sell what I get out of packs and play the game. Ranked, conquest, and mini seasons.
You must have AMAZING pack luck.

I was off for just about 2 months when MLB dropped. Played like crazy finishing both TA programs very quickly and reaching the free spin very quickly. I have gotten countless Diamond Duo packs and have yet to pull a Diamond of any kind from them. Not a 99 nor an 85. I keep waiting thinking the next one will be the one but nada.
I have had good pack luck this year though. Pulled Trout on release, WBC 99 Ohtani, 99 Darvish, Mantle, etc... just never from a Duo pack.
