Has there ever been a time?

@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..
-
I haven’t been in the forums this long and I’m just wondering, has there ever been a point where the community has been this fed up and outraged by a mlb the show game or product.
- People DID NOT LIKE the overall setup.
But message boards aren't the metric SDS cares about. If Overall Minutes Played goes down across the user base, they'll make changes.
Everything else is just noise.

I started participating in the DD forum in 2020. I had played RTTS for years, so I had a lot of questions about how DD worked. There were a lot of folks who were really cool and patiently gave advice. There was certainly negativity, but I don't remember it being this bad. There were a bunch of guys I followed out here because there posts were hilarious (i.e. @schnauzerface_psn ). Sadly, many of those folks have moved on.
In short... Seems way more negative now, to me.

I can understand that especially for the 85 overall cards since there are 19 of them.
Getting the same card back to back would not be unheard if but it should not be common.
I am more inclined to assume it would be a quirk or bug in the RNG instead of some type of manipulation.

@Onix_Savage22_PSN [censored] this game.

@Dolenz_PSN happens way too often. Duplicate cards. There are 19 85s ok. But how many 85s through 87s are there. 30? Odds of pulling duplicate diamonds in this range are 1 out of 30 twice, should be less than a 3.33 percent chance of happening. And it happens all the time. Im correct see below.
ANY Matching Pair: 1 in 30 (3.33%)
If you just want to know the chances of the second card matching whatever the first card happened to be:
The first draw doesn't matter: You have a 100% chance () of pulling something.
The second draw must match: Since there is only one of that specific card back in the deck of 30, your odds are 1 in 30. -
So anytime you pull back to back same cards in the 85 to 87 range you just hit a 3.33% chance.

@allday9128_PSN fair I was just coming to see if this year is measly getting blown out of proportion or rly is that bad.
That all depends on who you ask lol.
I've been browsing through these forums since theshownation days and its always been the same.
Should've been here whenever Ramone got caught mocking the people complaing about line drive outs after he thought a stream ended. Those were the good ol days lol
-
Its just like this every year. And its usually the same people that just flood the forum with non-stop complaining. Every year its "the game is dead", "players are leaving the game", "when <insert new game> comes out there will be nobody left". And they'll all be back next year saying the same thing.
-
@Onix_Savage22_PSN it’s bad every year but this is by far the worst.

@Pergo_MLBTS there are alot of valid complaints. Thanks for having our backs though. Everytime someone has a valid complaint and someone comes in behind them and says they are just a complainer etc. Contradicting complaints and calling most people habitual complainers does act as counter productive to all the valid complaints. We are the consumers they are the corporation that makes money off our satisfaction. Which side do we all fall on? If its theirs fill out an application.

Incessantly complaining and coming up with conspiracy theories is also counter productive to the actual valid complaints.
-
@allday9128_PSN packs suck well leave it at that how about that. Everyone can agree with this. I really did not need to come up with a conspiracy theory for everyone to agree. Could be something to it or not. Bottom line packs suck. We will leave it there. Oh and packs sucking is an absolute valid complaint that 99 percent of people agree with.

I have said multiple times that there are valid complaints. Nobody has ever claimed otherwise.

Sorta how VLTs work in a casino? Real casinos use real slots and are random....mickey mouse casinos use VLTs as slots (predetermined). Im thinking thats what you people mean w predetermined packs? from wiki on VLTS...In some jurisdictions, VLTs do not contain a random number generator, and display results from a fixed pool controlled by the central system (in similar fashion to scratch-off lottery tickets).

Ik me personally I’ve never even thought about giving up on this game before atleast late October early November. This year bring in late may is crazy.
That's how I feel.
Most years I'd have the live series done or atleast half by now (easily) without crazy grinding.
I've definetly played less this year and because of a number of factors didn't prioritize live series anyways. But I've pulled jram early and besides that I haven't pulled anything of value. Even the mural type packs I've gotten base round like EVERY time.
I grind mini seasons for 10 pack bundle and if I'm lucky I get Jeremy Pena.
I feel like I'm not upgrading my team from week to week. By the time I get to Soto or lindor I don't feel like they're much better than elly or trout (who I'm using in right)
Its easier to complete programs mindlessly than in past years but I feel like for the most part programs aren't boosting my teams.
Meanwhile you constantly see chase pack and 700k collections able to improve your squad. But by the time you get to mickey mantle now in citysquad he's already outdated and not really better than what you may already have.
I used Kyle tucker new threads card for the longest time and I feel like if I used him I wouldn't be disadvantaged too much over someone using the new Soto. Especially with p5 modded tucker. That's kind've a good thing if you like the player but also it doesn't really light the fire to tirelessly grind for a lateral move
