Pack odds are manipulated.
-
@JDHalfrack_PSN because if you cant pull a live series at the end of the pack you have no chance at getting judge or ohtani. Live series pulls are more important.

No matter how you slice it bottom line is that at the very least odds are way worse than they should be. They are misleading at best and definitely toe the line of predatory behavior. Without gambling addicts, or people on the fast track to getting there, this system flat out doesn’t work.

@Ditka06-_MLBTS you've kind of moved the goalposts there. When you pack other diamonds, you're actually doing something more rare than packing a live series diamond. Those diamonds do count in the odds. So saying you haven't packed a live series in 415 packs is a bit misleading when you aren't counting the other diamonds you have packed. SDS is "rewarding" you with flavor of the week diamonds.

With this post in mind I opened 84 regular packs + 1 headliner + 1 ballin’ last night.
1 diamond and it was Cam S. who I quick sold for 3,000.
My diamond pulls have certainly been lower since the glitch exploiters - but I’m going to chalk it up to bad luck.

Had a great night pulling cards last night. 56 The show packs and 13 Ballin pack. Pulled 4 diamonds.

So I was right. You guys aren’t actually worried about diamonds. You’re worried about Ohtani or judge.
Diamond pulls are what the odds are stated as: 1 in 50. Ohtani is like 1/20000 and judge close to it. Both clearly stated.
Some the end of the day, this whole thread is a waste of everyone’s time.

@JDHalfrack_PSN no im saying the posted odds of pulling a live series out of a show pack are manipulated. We cannot prove it per say. If you go back to main topic. I think they manipulated or changed the live series diamond pulls since the glitch. I think they extremely lowered the odds in that sense and boosted the odds of non live series diamonds. Something to this effect. Basically they have the ability to change things throughout the course of the year. Its not that far fetched.
-
@Ditka06-_MLBTS And I’m saying, why does that matter? I’d rather get a vintage or CS diamond as opposed to any of the low end LS diamonds. Nothing in my experience this year leads me to believe LS diamond odds are anything over there than what’s posted.
-
@JDHalfrack_PSN ok you are so smart. They would never manipulate things. Ill keep up may pack count the rest of the year. And keep you all posted. Alot of you should do the same.

Why bother anymore? Anytime someone has data that proves you wrong you either move the goalposts or discredit their data.

@JDHalfrack_PSN ive never moved the goal post. Ive said live series diamonds everytime.

@JDHalfrack_PSN ive never moved the goal post. Ive said live series diamonds everytime. Talking out of your [censored] now.
Well, for starters, by the literal definition of what you stated in your OP, you are correct. I will concede that. However, I think even setting that as a criteria is... weird. You're saying that when you open a non-live series diamond card from a standard pack, you throw a fit? They are literally worth more than most the LS diamonds you would get are. Just such a weird distinction to make.
That said, if you ARE going to make that distinction, you need to know that the chances of getting a LS diamond are not 1 out of 50. Right now, the chance of getting a LS diamond is closer to about 1.64%; or about 1 in 61 packs. And all your data needs to be based on that.
And yes, those of you who subscribe to the "After update 6 all the odds changed" conspiracy, if you're looking at just LS odds, those probably have gone down since around then since once they started adding cityscapes to the mix, LS odds had to go down in order to keep the overall odds at rougly 2%.

I feel like the old guys could cry about video games all day everyday and not be nearly as pathetic as some of the stuff you young people get triggered over.
Absolutely unequivocally correct, I'm not saying that's @apolloz_99_mlbts specifically because he seems to have a good head on his shoulders...but you're not wrong in the slightest. Kinda seems like the majority after the early to mid millennial generation has single ply skin. I do also think a fair portion of it is maturity as well, patience and acceptance etc tends to come along more with age.
@go4stros25_PSN I feel like us older guys like the competition more as well. And are more willing to play online. Because thats what we grew up with. We grew up when call of duty was epic. Etc. Everyone would talk smack online over the Mike's. Keeps us young. I hope all of you play until you are 50 and then some. Age doesnt matter. Its the mind..
I agree with this as well, I'm 39 and this is my main hobby (especially since I don't play summer hockey anymore). I don't think that'll ever change.

I’m 46. I don’t know where that puts me in this age debate.
-
@Sarge1387_PSN some of the older gen are just as triggered as the new ones. Especially gens above millennials. But it’s not really a generational problem. It’s about individuals in here that will complain about just about anything in here. Every generation will say something to the next it’s an endless cycle.
-
@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.
-
@JDHalfrack_PSN ok alot of what you said makes sense. Adding the other cards into the packs probably decreases live series odds immensely. If thats the case then its just another way for them to keep the gate keepers extremely high and hard to get. Still a form of manipulation..and if they are including the diamond uniforms as part of those diamond odds, then they are really manipulating things.
-
Another 15 packs. No live series diamond. Puts me at 415 packs now in a row. Ill be back to keep up the count.
Lol I really really don't believe you. If you don't have proof I'm guessing what you mean is 415 packs and NO 90+ live series or 415 packs and NO Ohtani. Pack odds are not manipulated. Lol SDS can't manage to fix people's ranked records without breaking the servers if they could manipulate pack odds the servers would crash lol.
I guess you're not aware gaming companies can manipulate pack odds through groups in the servers? Extremely easy to do.

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.
