I’m not following the correlation

Agreed, now that I am starting to knock out the big collections this game is really starting open up for me. I am actually having fun now. I am going to start messing with multi-player again, start off with events and work from there. In saying all of that I humbly disagree but respect the OP's sentiment.

Have you received a Bunny in a Ultra pack? Collected the ASG MVP card that costs 1 million stubs, when we were told it would be in a program?
Lost a game because of PCI shrinkage that we were told was fixed?
Won a game only to have it not count because the server lagged out?
Missed out on inning rewards because double XP was down half the weekend?
Battled the bots to buy or sell anything at a fair price in the marketplace?

I'm glad you're having fun and hopefully the game comes around and can bring more of us back in. I'm just afraid with the strike/lockout looming next year... in baseball terms, SDS needed a grand slam this year, and right now it's 0 and 2 and they're staring down a Misiorowski 104 mph high and tight fastball.

It feels like a massive letdown when you expect an Ultra premium 3-player pack and end up with a single choice from an old Easter pack.
However, this is actually not a bug or a glitch—it is an intentional design choice by San Diego Studios (SDS).
The Truth Behind "Random" Premier Packs
The Random Pool Dilution: SDS recently updated the game mechanics. When you earn a Random Premier Pack (like the completion reward from the All-Star Conquest or from Mini-Seasons), it pulls from a massive historical pool of past promotional packs.
The Easter Pack Inclusions: Because the Chocolate Bunny Choice Pack and other Easter "Ultra" rewards were moved into the random Premier pool, they override the standard 3-card layout. You are essentially given a 1-card choice pack inside your Premier reward slot.

That's the longest winded load of ....
I appreciate a good line of bulls... as much as anybody, but give me a break. If you get an Ultra Pack wether free or paid for it should come with the listed odds. Which are 12.5% each for 8 different Ultra packs. Easter program isn't even listed. What's 12.5x8? Let me do the math... 100.

At this point in time it's not about the pack (I have Micky and V. Mart). But [censored], don't give us that world salad bs and hope we're too stupid to see what's happening.

Here's a hint, there's probably not going to be a season next year, which means game sales will tank, so they're squeezing every penny they can out of this one. Just say it, SDS. They put Jackie Robinson/NLB in a pay pack collection for the first time ever! That tells me all I need to know.

@SDS_JoeK_PSN

Therein lays the problem. They release a game full of bugs and glitches and expect the community to be grateful that it plays the 75% of the time it actually works right.

Here's a legitimate question I asked in the survey. If there is a strike or lockout next year what reason has SDS gave anyone to trust that the content and gameplay along will make this game worth buying?

I have bought this game every since 2012. Give me/us a reason to do it next year.

I cannot believe how stupid your post was.

And the sheep says... I cannot believe how stu...baa.

His Allstar card has been an absolute beast for me.

As a Mets fan that makes we want to throw up a little bit, but so does watching their games. Lol

@Dolenz_PSN said:

I am not watching. I don't need someone else to tell me how I should feel about the game good or bad.

It's interesting that one of the comments though was

"This is why those of us who abused the pack glitch did LOL"

SDS - You are validating these jokers not only with your actions but more importantly through your inaction (lack of punishment)

I get it. Even though it is more of a plea/offer to help to SDS then it is telling anyone what to think.

As for the glitch "punishment", I think they saw how banning a couple thousand people even from the marketplace for a month would affect their bottom line and weren't willing to do it. Just another example of them saying one thing and doing another. Or nothing at all in this case.

I'll say it... whoever on their communicates team that is pumping out all the lies (pci, wbc, asg mvp, ultra pack glitch) needs to be fired.

You can fix what's broken. No excuse for the lieing.

Add me and my 2 yearly copies to that list.

Before anyone starts to celebrate...
I'll still come here to share my abundance of knowledge and winning personality.

Hey bro, not discounting all that and yes, I have been frustrated early on. None more than the restrictions on buy and sell orders that thankfully has been resolved. Since, I refocused on the fact that this is only a video game not worthy of my ire, anxiety or stress. I have been more and less treating it as a virtual trading card game and going after collections and favorite ball players past and present and just having fun with them. It's a past time not a full time job and should be treated as such IMO.

That's funny because I've been calling it a stock market trading game. But that's the problem. It's not a trading card or stock market sim, it's a baseball game. The only MLB real style baseball game.

What bugs me more then the game itself is the seer comeuppance of SDS. They're like that family member that no matter what you have or done they have it and done it better. You either get a "we're the only game in town, deal with it" attitude, or a lie.

I run a office for the second largest repossession company in the US and even I have a higher favorably then SDS.

I'm only taking what they are giving me. I spent the $100, gotta find the enjoyment somewhere in this game.

That's how a smart person would look at it. There's usually just another 3 lettered word that comes after someone calls me smart.

Thanks for the intelligent conversation. Good luck in the grind.

@Dodgers_1890_PSN said:

I mean there are a lot of things wrong with this game. In my opinion, the amount of free packs we get is not one of them.

Absolutely correct. The amount of free packs, either free or by grinding has been one of the rare bright spots this year.

On new cards, people. On older cards, bots. I don't care how many people play this game there is no way possible that some random person halfway across the world is just waiting to under/over bid you by a stub as often as it happens. There's a program they use where cheaters put a max and minimum bid in and it will constantly move their bid +/- 1.

You would have an easier time convincing me it's SDS marketplace manipulation, then believing it's some random person.

I am NOT saying that it is SDS! But....

JK!
