Pack odds are manipulated.

5):@JDHalfrack_PSN your classified as middle age. But my comment also states some of the older guys need to leave to every single person that’s older.
I had to walk 5 miles uphill in the snow to get my packs in order to get my duplicate commons and bronzes. You young whippersnappers don't know how lucky you are.
Virtual cards! Bah! We used to get real cards and stick them in the spokes of our bicycles so they would make a cool noise

-
@Dolenz_PSN people my age also put cards in the bike spindles. It did in fact make a cool noise.
-
I opened 30 standard pack tonight and actually pulled my first live card over 90. Pulled Mason Miller. Sorry Ditka
-
@Rhyno1986_XBL I literally mean 415 show packs without a live series pull. Yes. Not talking about other diamonds all though very far and few. Odds say 1 and 61 for a live series diamond^^ im at 415 without one. Dolenz just broke down the odds^
See and with this statement it makes it even more unlikely that you haven't pulled a live series diamond. So once iguana I'll revert to saying you mean you haven't pulled a 90+. That i could believe but not ANY.
-
@Rhyno1986_XBL I have not pulled a live series diamond out of a show pack in 415 tries. That is correct. Im saving another 125 packs that i will earn by the end of the weekend. Ill be back to update when I open those.
-
Disagree. After 40 you can never, never again take a fart for granted because as soon as you do….shart.
Shart happens
Totally not true. When I let loose, I let loose freely.
In fact, being over 50, you can detect a wet one easier 🤪
If it wasn't for us so-called old guys, nothing but immature ones like Wemby the wembow thrower, and 'ACL assasin' would be wandering around with no one to mentor them!Your plumbing must be better than mine then

I have opened up around 200 packs today (a combo of standard and BiaH). I pulled multiple diamonds. High diamonds (Ramirez, Lindor, and wheeler) plus a bunch of lower diamonds. So much so that I was able to purchase nearly the entire collections needed for V Mart. Only need 1 more (either spotlight, egg, or awards).
Admittedly I had pretty good luck with the headliner packs too.
Regardless, whatever streak you’re going through on your side, the opposite has been my case all year. Pack odds are not being manipulated. People have bad luck. People have good luck. That’s RNG for you.

I credit the lemon water. Without sugar, either Realemon juice or real lemons. I can't see myself drinking coffee w/o sugar, though, ever! Lemon water helps with circulation, but you'll urinate a lot. It's actually worth it.

@Ditka06-_MLBTS I’ve noticed the same thing since the cheating [censored]. Seems like they lowered pack odds to compensate for all the cards that were getting pulled from it. I’ve opened close to 2-250 show packs and no live series diamonds
-
@Bman3883_MLBTS unfortunately we cannot prove it. The nay sayers also cannot prove us wrong either. Its very possible we could be right. Its very possible we could be wrong. If i had to bet on it. Id bet that we are right.
-
The most unbelievable happened this morning… I pulled Ohtani from a show pack.. the pack/group of show packs it came from was realizing I had never claimed my free packs/equipment on the Xbox main menu when purchasing..
-
Opened the first 10 packs of my multiplayer 50 bundle last night and pulled a diamond. I guess they forgot to manipulate my odds!
-
I have had bad luck when opening large amounts of packs at a time (talking about show packs) but when I open 5-10 I pull a diamond or two (low diamonds but still). Really weird

I still will not buy the manipulation argument. Pack odds are posted on a website and there are watchdog groups and huge potential fines if they are caught.
If they made changes to the odds without changing the odds posted in the game and or on the website they would be opening themselves up to potential FTC action and fines.
The FTC has already treated misleading loot-box odds as a real enforcement issue. In 2025, the FTC announced a $20 million settlement with the maker of Genshin Impact, alleging among other things that players were deceived about the odds of winning sought-after loot-box prizes and the real cost of obtaining them. State attorneys general could also investigate under state unfair/deceptive acts laws.

@BreezyPath41230_XBL before they manipulated the odds. Interesting. Makes you think! You pulled him out of a beginning game cycle bundle. Too funny.
-
@Dolenz_PSN who are these so called watch dog groups? Show me them?. The only watch dog group is this forum post. These companies/big money corporations can do whatever they want. Believe that. Las vegas casinos have to answer to a gaming board, they still cheat the community. You can read up on that. Big money equals power, corruption in this country is just as real as in any 3rd world country. Dont ever get it twisted.

I haven't had one in a while. I got the other japanese player from a chase pack, other than that nothing in standard pack for a long time. At least 100 packs. I finally got the LS done but had to sell a ton in the other collections so won't see Victor until he is irrelevant with 99's being out. After everything I sold I got Ohtani but only have like 30k stubs now. With my pulls it will take forever to get to 100k.
-
@D_e_m_I_s_E_MLBTS the juice isnt worth the squeeze. For the amount of time we put in to get a 100 packs. Or whatever. Imagine spending money on this c r a p. Lmao
-
I opened 77 additional packs finally two live series diamonds. Both quick sell of course.
-
That’s the biggest issue. 99% of the diamonds pulled are quick sell low diamonds. That heavily skews the odds of pulling a worthwhile diamond. While 1:50 might be “technically” true the actual odds of pulling anything over quick sell is probably more like 1:500.
