Pack odds are manipulated.
-
@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.
-
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.
