I suspect that the timer may not be set to a specific number of days, but to hours played in Challenge Mode. I have gone weeks without receiving a pack, while other times have received two packs in the same week.

If the formula was released, it may be some version of “difficulty of achievement x time played= chances of a pack being issued”. One time I received a gold pack in challenge mode, but do not know what triggered that event vs. the normal pack rewards.

I’ve read posts about always playing as the 27 Yankees to accelerate that process, but I’m not going to take my personal time to play the same team the same season over and over again on the off-chance I get a valuable card I can use in PT.

Since most of us were OOTP players before PT was launched, I lean towards playing OOTP the way you enjoy, and if you get a pack, consider it a bonus.

I was playing as the expansion Senators this weekend in OOTP Challenge Mode, and did well enough to get a PT pack with Lorenzo Cain in it- great surprise, but not the reason why I played.
