Has there ever been a time?
-
I don’t ever remember a time when it was this bad. I’d been frequenting the forums long before using my PSN in ‘21- and while there’s an ounce of truth to what @whitejw98_mlbts said in the sense that there’s a few doomers every year that would not be happy no matter what- in 14 years of playing MLBTS, stalking the forums- I’ve never seen this much vitriol. And I think it’s definitely earned.
-
@SavageSteve74_PSN Stop. You are making too much sense.
-
@SavageSteve74_PSN you could argue an rng system is not the same as random odds. We as the players deserve complete randomness. Not an rng system, that determines cards based on their probabilities. And there may not be a way to have 100 percent randomness based on their odds. Maybe it is an rng system everytime you open a pack.
-
Dude, it’s right in the f*cking acronym, RANDOM number generator.
-
@SavageSteve74_PSN who are you cursing at? Tough guy. I know its not me. Talk with respect like we have all been doing this entire time. That being said. I dont disagree with your theory
-
lol, oops, forgot we shouldn’t use harsh language when disproving a condescending pricks lack of understanding.
Sorry snowflake, I’ll let you get back to talking down on everyone who doesn’t play your way, since we all must “get better” at a video game.
-
Forums by nature will always be negative, but the tone is usually set by the quality of the game. There have been years past (back when this was a fun product with lots of content) where all you would see on the forums is "I lOsT sO tHeY mUsT bE cHeAtInG" posts. There were years I wouldn't even come to the forums because there was literally nothing about the offline content, just the Onliners crying as Onliners are wont to do. Now that Offline content has become the red headed stepchild of SDS's attention, yeah the posts are brutal and 99% negative covering just about every aspect of the game.

@savagesteve74_psn Chucklenuts, I think it's you whose being the snowflake ok? Don't worry, go on Kick and rant about how "soft" Gen Z is. Go on.
-
@SavageSteve74_PSN how was i being condescending in this chat? Maybe you are the snowflake. Yes why play a game if the goal is not to get better at it. My goal is to continue to get better at the game and not worry about packs, because packs in this game are absolutely garbage.

@SpawnOfDitka_XBL I’ve pulled Nick Hurtz 3x out of Chase packs.
He must be flavor of the month. That is who I pulled in my 50 mp pack. Not random.
-
@DemIsE4_XBL its definitely not random. I dont care what the sds employee of the month gooze says lmao. Lol

@Onix_Savage22_PSN They can’t figure out how to make a third of inning count. They can’t figure out how to fix any of these bugs, shrinkage, dread lag and all the problems with the game. They can’t figure out how to stop cheaters and bots, but they have some elaborate system that picks and chooses who gets what? Does that really make any sense to anyone else?
There is such a thing as streamer odds. Developers use backend management tools to inject items directly into a specific player’s User ID or account profile. EZPZ

You are a fool if you don't think SDS does these things. All gaming companies (right or wrong) believe that streamers promote their game.

Well, streamers are a huge part of the community after all.

I got 85 Heliot Ramos in 2 straight WBC packs today. Supposed that was random too given all the other possibilities that could be pulled I just so happened to get him twice, so 2 for 2. That’s just the most recent example of that happening to me this year.
-
It's worse this year. Every year there is a contingent of players who complain all year how that year's version is the worst ever. This year there seems to be more of them. So much so that I find myself participating less. As I get older I just don't need that much negativity in my life.
As for pack odds (I can't speak of wheel odds) the odds for every single card available in a pack is listed on SDS Website.
The Show Pack Odds
https://mlb26.theshow.com/drop_rates?pack_id=10222You are 95 times more likely to pull an 85 card than you are a 94 (Ohtani)
- You have a 1 in 2,500 chance to pull any given 85 Overall card
- You have a 1 in 12,500 chance to pull Ohtani
Here is the breakdown
All things are not equal though. There are five 93's listed in the pack. One live series (Judge) and 4 Mural Cards. The odds of pulling Judge are 1 in 12,500 while the odds of pulling Bob Gibson Mural in a Show pack is 1 in 50,000

@SpawnOfDitka_XBL I’ve been extremely critical of the game this year. I’ve said multiple times this is the worst year of the show. I’ve also said there’s probably nothing they could do to get me to buy the game next year, for the first time ever. You’re still wrong on this.
-
@DemIsE4_XBL I don’t believe that at all. One of the few I watch is daddydimu and he has horrible pack luck.
-
I think most of us are raising our eyebrows at the sheer number of duplicates. That makes it seem very strange. While 85s might be relatively common, the fact you can pull the same exact card repeatedly seems a little predetermined and not so random.
In other words certain cards with the same rating seem to be pulled far more often than others which shouldn’t happen as much as it does in this game. I remember it being like this in previous versions of the show but this year is noticeably worse.
-
@TripleH-4481_PSN exactly! Thats why i think its pre determined odds. Or game influenced if its not pre determined. Certainly isnt random..
