<![CDATA[Ballin' Packs]]>As many of you know, I'm a huge supporter of SDS and this game, so please take this as a friendly question: has anyone else had really rough luck with Ballin' packs since the WBC glitch?

I'm sitting on over 3 million stubs with almost every card, and making stubs is easy enough, so it's really just about the fun of seeing that diamond pop up. I haven't had much luck with regular packs either (though better), but with the higher diamond odds in Ballin' packs, I'm surprised by how few I've seen. I'd be shocked if I've pulled even two since the glitch - and honestly, it might be zero. That's across many hundreds of Ballin' packs.

I'm sure it could just be a rough stretch of luck (a very LONG stretch at that), but I was curious whether anyone else has noticed the same thing.

Hope your pulls have been better than mine!

This is the first year where I haven't had a "major" LS pull, and I've opened A LOT of packs.

I had 1 Chase pull - Subway Series Posada.

I think thats just the way it goes. Sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you don't.

@TheGoaler_PSN Then stop expecting anything. You probably have red diamonds across the board on your squad.

...and just replaced Carrigg's blue diamond TN with his 99, which seems to be worse!

Nice assumption!

It's strange because I think this all the time when I get higher cards... Carrigg included.

Not true. I still have 94 Elly as my SS, and just replaced Carrigg's blue diamond TN with his 99, which seems to be worse!
I also have Cool Papa Bell as my 5th starter/PR/1B replacement.
Nice assumption!

I just got one ACHES pack that would've had Awards Trout. I might have sold it to finish collections in Rocktober, but of course, a LS popped out to say hi, once again.
Juice the dang packs, SDS, since it is Rocktober! Stop being stingy.

Hmm. This made me curious since I don’t open packs too often. I just opened 40 ballin packs and zero diamond cards… I was expecting to pull at least 1 but I just got reminded why I don’t bother opening packs.

Back in the day I’d sometimes buy packs when I was feeling lucky. But I haven’t done that in years since my luck is laughably bad.

I have to admit that besides the cover, I don’t believe I’ve ever even seen a Chase Pack and I’ve had to buy every Chase card except for Willie McGee who I chose in that free pack we all got. I can’t remember if Buxton & DeVries were also Chase cards but I got them through the My Legacy grinds.

Same. I keep waiting for it to finally happen and it does not.

I was sitting at well over 40/1 for pulling a diamond by the time i stopped.

I had a similar outcome last year.
If they're one in 15 i'll go he.

Very early in the year I pulled Judge (first time ever) and had a few very solid pulls.

But since like May... nothing. And same, I've done all the content, have gotten thousands of packs... just atrocious luck.
