Pack odds are manipulated.
-
I will say, opening packs is not rewarding. Last year, the entire 2025 season I somehow never pulled a live series diamond higher than 15K in value. I was convinced they blacklisted my account for flipping too much.
This year I started off super strong with a Judge pull, a few Sotos and some others. Lately I haven’t been pulling much though. I think 4 total diamonds since the glitch exploiters ruined the game, but 2 of them were good (Skubal and I think JRam). But far under 1:50 as of late. And come to think of it, pretty sure those good pulls were from Ballin’ packs.

@JDHalfrack_PSN I already told you if they are including diamond uniform pulls as part of the odds. Or Including any other diamonds into the show packs they are manipulating live series odd pulls. Ive kept this post about show packs and live series odds the entire time. I have not deviated.
Example if you get a city scape diamond out of a regular show pack, that takes the place of the live series pull, its manipulation. Your argument stating that you would rather have a program diamond over a live series is not valid on this post. I want the live series pulls, that is the only chance of getting ohtani or judge from a show pack.
My final argument is these other diamonds in show packs are drastically lowering the live series pull odds even further.

But they are not.
The odds of pulling a live series diamond player is 1.646
The odds of pulling a Mural Series Diamond is 0.082
The odds of pulling a Summer Series diamond is 0.162
The odds of pulling a Vintage Series diamond is 0.083That adds up to 1.973 which actually works out to 1 in 50.68
I don't think it specifies a 1 in 50 chance to get a live series diamond anywhere. It simply says
1:50 85+ Diamond Player

The diamond rates are based on PLAYERS, not the first slot. They DO include ALL diamond player possibilities, though. We've already established this either earlier in this thread or in another thread. Dolenz posted the rates again right above me. He forgot the red diamonds, though, so he got 1.973%. The red diamonds make up 0.028% of a chance, so the actual percentage is slightly over 2% --> 2.001%.
If you're looking at just LS diamonds, it's about 1.646%.
I already conceded to you about the fact you are mentioning LS diamonds. And I still contend that using the word "manipulation" is incorrect. They've never stated LS diamonds are 1:50. I also still argue that a diamond is a diamond is a diamond, even if you just want or are specifically referring to LS diamonds. What does it matter if you get a low vintage diamond card vs a low LS diamond card? You're selling them both anyway.
As TripleH accidentally admitted earlier, the complaints about pull rates has nothing to do with diamonds. It has to do with
90+rated LS diamonds. There are plenty of 85-89 rated LS diamonds in the market to make it more than obvious people are pulling them regularly. -
@JDHalfrack_PSN ok well the odds do not have to be so stingy. Its not even the odds of show packs anymore. Its everything else. Like needing to obtain 15k pxp for premier packs, that also have ugly disgusting odds attached to them. Couldnt even give us choice premier packs and the odds of getting a summer premier pack is low. Then even if you can defy the odds and get a summer premier pack the odds of pulling a top tier level cards on the summer packs are also disgustingly low. Its everything now. Its a complete bad odds on top of bad odds.... bad odds to get something.. to have bad odds again when you do. Compounding bad odds on top of bad odds. You get my point. Making for a very unrewarding experience and a waist of time.
I had to play through the summer mini seasons two and a half times, to get those premier packs. Its a slap in the face.
