When I Say Packs Suck...
-
I had felt this way myself, but tonight I pulled back to back jrams in a regular pack and a headliner 1 pack, which since I already had him at parallel five, was 300k profit. I was so fed up with BIAH odds I started teaching them manually. After 37 packs I got a Wade Boggs. Sometimes you just hit a dry spell.
-
At this point the pack odds are absolutely meaningless. I pulled judge like 3 weeks ago and since then I’ve opened maybe 20 BIAH packs, 20 headliners, and about 200 regular packs just to live series Freddie freeman who is worth like 5k stubs. I even bought the premier and deluxe packs as much as possible to try and pull Jorge polanco and nothing but repeats

When I went back over my packs from the last two weeks, I counted 218 Regular Packs. In those packs, the only Diamonds I received were Wade Boggs Easter, Corbin Carroll, and Sean Hjelle Easter. Combined, they roughly come to about 7000-8000 stubs value. And that's the three I got out of 218 packs, so roughly 1:70 packs. And they're not even truly good ones.
So when Ohtani's going for over 500,000 stubs and Judge and Witt are over 200,000 stubs, it's ludicrous. I play from 3-4 hours a day. Earning packs and stubs is a grind, and then you don't get much reward for them.
Other packs have not been much better. I got a Curtis Grandson out of 17 Headliner packs. No diamonds in 8 Deluxe packs.
While I'm happy for these guys who post online how they got two Ohtanis in one pack, what the game developers are doing this year in terms of terrible card distribution and endless grinding to get those crumbs, it's infuriating.
I refuse to be coerced into buying stubs from them. Those of us who play the game as regularly and consistently as I and others like me do should be rewarded with better card distribution or a more lucrative way to earn stubs. Because this isn't working.
I just got Ohtani from a regular pack Saturday. It was on my last live stream on twitch. Uploaded to YouTube.
I fell off my chair.
I sold it because I saved up the stubs to buy it.

I play a lot...A LOT. I've completed every program. All but 1 conquest map, all the showdowns, all Diamond Quest maps but 1, completed 2 mini seasons, and have every TA team up 160 000. That's a lot of, A LOT of free packs. The amount of diamonds to packs is pathetic. The amount of quality diamonds even more pathetic. Even golds are more scarce than I remember. I get it, good luck and bad luck and I've had a roller coaster year as far as luck but outside of Trout and Tatis Jr it's been pretty lame. Nothing like pulling Snell and Merrill 5x each.

Yep, and I’ve heard this same thing numerous times and been thru it myself this year. It’s more than just dry spells it’s clear they have made the gate keepers extremely scarce to drive up prices, slow the power creep, and force people to spend money or go without.

I haven't pulled a live series diamond card in four weeks. It's amazing to think Sony or SDS thought that it would be a good idea to do this. Everything I've read online is that this is motivating many people to play the game less, including me.

Ive pulled Trout and Mookie, but other than that only 95s. But I also know that if I keep playing I will complete LS eventually.
My biggest annoyance was getting a premier egg hunt pack, and getting the only 3 cards i already have. Then my next 3 single cards were of the same guys as well. I have yet to see a mid or rare round from either a new thread or egg hunt
I know this stuff is all fairly cheap, but I prefer using my stubs on stuff like the weekend classic cards that are for all intents and purposes unearnable for me

Earned 18 regular packs today, 5 Headliners, 1 Ballin. Pulled Adley Rutschmam and Gunnar Henderson . A couple of golds.
-
Today 11 regular packs, 1 Jumbo, 1 Ballin, 4 Headliners. 3 total golds 0 diamonds....
-
@Ledfoot_19_PSN So you are saying you got lucky? You were basically guaranteed two golds, so you got lucky and pulled a third gold. Congrats!

How did you get that? I'm saying my luck sucks....

They truly don’t care because there are enough people out there that have money and will spend it to get all the cards. They don’t care about their whole fan base, only the ones with extra $$$ to spend.

It's a Scam. Been saving my stubs all year, decided to spend them on 5 of 5 packs that got released today. I received these in this order.
Pack 1 - JC Escarra - 86
Pack 2 - Matt Gorski - 86
Pack 3 - JC Escarra -86
Pack 4 - JC Escarra - 86
Pack 5 - Matt Gorski -86Seriously!!! I mean update the odds screen to say you have a 3 out 5 chance to get doubles. And the 4:1 91+ should say 1:1 odds of being screwed. Thank god I didn't spend my hard earned cash. Lessoned learned don't by Packs. #maketheshowfunagain
