800 packs...0 100 cards...not even live

[Neezer]

This game is a joke and pathetic. Drop rate is not true.

Learn from me. 800 packs and not 1 100 card. Not one. Zero.

Im done. Good luck suckers.

For anyone reading this, the chance of this happening is 1.83%, or about 1/55. Neezer, I’m sorry you got screwed worse than 54/55 of the other players, but the blessing and the curse of OOTP’s success and reasonably large player base is that this kind of thing will happen every now and again, thanks to the law of large numbers. I assure you the rest of us are pulling Perfects at exactly the advertised rate, and you will too if you want to come back.

Getting a 100 card is difficult in packs. How many Diamond cards did you get?

How many were you expecting? What other cards did you get?

I got a 100 Live Mike Trout out of a regular pack on my second day, I assure you it's possible

I had tremendous pack luck the first week and even the second somewhat...but i am on a similar stretch now as the OP.
I don't track these things but I would assume it has just evened out for me.

Personally I haven't even had a diamond in my last 75 packs, but in my first 200 packs I had 6 live perfects (Arenado x2, Trout, Verlander, Lindor x2) they were the only perfects i've had this year and i've opened 600+ packs. It seems very streaky, if i get a diamond i seem to get a few in a small clump of packs then go dry again

The best card I got from a pack in v21 so far was a 86 ... I'm not very lucky so far this year.

At the same time I opened some packs from my v20 team and pulled a 100 in 4 straight packs ... but in v20 I also had stretches when I didn't pull a decent card for weeks.

These things happen - you have the same chance for a 100 with every pack you open.

I got my lesson in OOTP 19. I opened 200 packs and no perfect. I told myself that I should keep opening packs because the chance is getting higher every pack opened and it's basically inevitable to hit that perfect sooner or later. After 400+ still nothing ... I got quite depressed but kept buying... in short time I scratched another 200 packs (if my memory doesn't cheat me) and finally before milestone of 600 I hit that perfect ... perfect live Chris Sale with re-sale value of 23k PP.
After few weeks PT20 came out and since that I got "what I deserved" - just in few packs got my "owed" historical and live perfects... in game which didn't matter to me anymore.
In PT20 basically the same story, yet I didn't invest that much of real money in buying packs. Never pulled any perfect worth of 30k + (just some live)...

But hey, it's okay, live goes on and I am enjoying PT21 very much...

Ouch!

I pulled this baby a couple weeks back.....sold for 280k in about 15 minutes.

[Thundercrack]

Have gone weeks without a diamond. Pulled two live perfects in 7 packs yesterday. It happens.

[Drezik]

I've been there....it sucks. When you're on the flip side of that RNG luck, it's awesome though.

Was lucky enough to pull a 100 Maddux and a 100 Ron Guidry within about 100 packs.

I sold the Guidry and pulled a 100 Bobby Mathews with the profits...it's not all bad.

[willat0660]

In all my time playing OOTP XX (and 21), I pulled one perfect, a Roy Campanella in a Historical pack that I bought. I did buy a bunch of 1k packs, but never any other perfects.

So far in v.21, I'm in the Rookie league and pulled two Diamonds from Tourney packs I won, a Corey Kluber 96 All-Time Legend and a Ken Giles 92 Live.
I had a diamond Kluber Live card in XX, nothing to write home about. Hope this one's better, since it's not Live, it may be. Won't know until I hit some better leagues.

I can sympathize with the frustration though, it does kind of suck to play PT for over a year and pull one Perfect card.

And that's why I didn't want do the public beta. Because I just knew something like that would happen to me.

I did end up pulling a 100 with my first eight packs after the switch was flipped to live. And another with my 175 PTP packs.Luckily it was the same team.

Of course, it was because I pulled my first 100 that I made that team the PTP one.

If I play the lottery I am sending you to the store to buy my tickets.

Just love how a guy opens 800 packs with no perfect players, then others that open 100 or less show him their perfect pulls.

Just cruel.

It’s like gambling in Vegas. Don’t expect to hit anything. If you come out even that’s great. You pay for the thrill of taking a shot.

Exactly! Pulling packs is like playing the slots.

AH you get a player at the current market AH price.
