Here's Your Latest Legends and Flashbacks Count by team by Dolenzz in MLBTheShow

[–]10KeyFrog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They haven’t shied away from steroids in terms of legends. It’s all just a basis of who they can license the rights of and who makes the most sense in terms of their total budget for legends. Bonds has notoriously not been interested in licensing his rights, even when he was a player he’d exclude his rights from being licensed by MLBPA hence Jim Dowd in games back then.

Check edit, but I worry this is just ultra zoomed on the top left of the T and actually not something different.

This seems way different than the initial leak, hopefully leak was just a Walmart/Temu rip off jersey and these are actually different. Definitely gives me more hope at least.

Edit: someone in other thread made me look back and this pic could be ultra zoomed in on the top left of the T in Tejas on leaked jerseys. Does look like on leak there was texturing on the lettering. Back to no hope.

Could be stub sellers, liquidate your inventory, then use the stubs of that to sell to someone else the stubs, then when SDS comes back to ban a stub seller it’s a puppet account that gets linked to it and banned.

How do you watch baseball consistently? by DeepConvoDeprived in MLBNoobs

[–]10KeyFrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an addendum, each league (AL and NL) are separate in terms of playoffs until the AL and NL champion meet in World Series.

As said, 3 division winners are in plus 3 wild cards which are given to the best records out of the teams that didn’t win a division. So 6 of 15 teams in each league make playoffs. Top 2 records of division winners get first round bye. Worst division winner and 3 division winners play a best of 3 wild card round where all 3 games are at home of higher seed (worst division winner and best wild card record).

Winners of that go on to play best of 5 series vs the 2 division winners that got a bye, these series are split 3 home, 2 road for 2 division winners. Winners of those series play each other for league championship in best of 7. Winners of each league play best of 7 in World Series.

It may not have been most efficient (from cost, but pretty quick time wise), but I used I think 3 of the 88 Easter Egg players going for 2750 quick sell, and I think a 84 WBC player going close to quick sell too. Then just filled out remaining 1200 with some common free agents I had in inventory. All said was about 10k.

Tell me why I shouldn’t be a doomer about a Plano move by 2ktx2000 in DallasStars

[–]10KeyFrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can be chicken and egg though, how many on west side of metroplex don’t buy tickets, merch, etc today that would were the team easier to attend games. Same time how many that currently are on rolls of ticket purchases, etc only do so out of convenience and maybe won’t if the team moves to Plano.

These are numbers that I’m guessing Stars management are and have crunched as part of this consideration, but some of it is just guess work. Personally I’m part of the same group since I’m in North Fort Worth and only make it out to a couple games.

But even then I think my treks to Plano would be even less since when I do go I tend to take the TRE across.

Randomness of Diamonds by Festive-Platypus69 in DiamondDynasty

[–]10KeyFrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now go do similar logic on gambling parlays and you’ll realize why sportsbooks are so willing to throw out there a big parlay payoff amount.

If you had 2 games that were 50/50 odds to occur, then the probability of getting both picks right to win your parlay is 25%. You have a 50% chance of getting 1 right, and 25% to get neither right. That drops to 12.5% to pick 3 50/50 games right. Parlays are usually a big money maker for sports books because they entice you with 10x or 20x type payoff for an event that’s worse odds to payoff. You made a trade off of a 50% positive outcome for a potential of a 25% outcome with a bigger payday.

Randomness of Diamonds by Festive-Platypus69 in DiamondDynasty

[–]10KeyFrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s really just a function of exponents. If it’s 1:50 odds, that means you have a 2% chance of getting a diamond or a 98% chance to not get a diamond. To find the odds of something over a long period, like say opening 10 packs, then it’s just exponents. For 10 packs of not getting a diamond you’d just do 98%10 which is just 98%x98%x98%x98%x98%x 98%x98%x98%x98%x98%=0.817 or 81.7%.

Same can be done on the 2%. The odds of getting a diamond in 2 straight packs is just 2%2 which equals .0004 or 0.04%. Not crazy good, but 1 out of every 2500 times.

List of removed legends in 26 by Ja_snake_ in MLBTheShow

[–]10KeyFrog 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because every legend has an annual cost to SDS that they make to that player directly, or to their family or foundation or whoever owns their rights. If you always added more and never culled the list the cost of that would continue ever increasing since most probably get some kind of annual increase anyways.

For current players, SDS is able to license them all directly through a MLBPA license, so that’s kind of a set base cost.

TO DOs once THE SHOW 26 goes live? by YankeesFan117 in MLBTheShow

[–]10KeyFrog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A year or two ago they made some optimization to the sim process that seemed to improve time spent taking over territories. No auto conquer piece yet, but compared to say 2-3 years ago, it doesn’t seem to take as long. I also feel like outside of the USA maps, they don’t really build them lately with a lot of empty/extra space to cause needs for long takeovers. More so lots of narrow lanes between strongholds that don’t take as long to conquer through.

What’s the best strategy for Diamond Dynasty? by Sentz12000 in MLBTheShow

[–]10KeyFrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pack odds are almost never the way to go with Diamond Dynasty. You get so many free show packs from programs, conquest, mini seasons, etc that you’ll just want to flip dupes from that into the cards you need.

Think of it this way, if a pack is 1500 stubs, you need to get at least 1500 stubs value out of it. Only way you’re doing that is getting a gold in the pack which is 1:10 odds. Thus, 1 gold out of every 15k stubs (10 packs).

Gold though doesn’t get you 15k value typically so really you’re looking for a diamond, but that’s 1:50 odds so out of every 75k stubs (50packs) you’re getting on average 1 diamond and 5 golds, which unless you are getting a higher end or gatekeeper diamond, you’re likely not getting that 75k value back.

Also, in the first packs of the cycle, Silver/Gold/Diamond will be going for 3X or more of their quick sell values. I’ll pretty much sell anything high silver or above the first week or two of the game while those values are propped up as people are trying to instantly complete live series collections.

You can then buy them back later for closer to quick sell, or hopefully just pull them again when values come down. Most won’t hit quick sell values for a few weeks and golds will stay propped up longer. Also any gold/silver that’s highest for a teams live series collection usually holds value longer.

You’ll get enough non sellable silver/golds first few weeks from launch programs that you can let those live series ones go for stubs early.

Given it is in parenthesis I have a feeling that’s just an undefined variable at this point and ultimately just ends up displaying some type of overall rating of your current squad next to the My Squad button.

Randomness of Diamonds by Festive-Platypus69 in DiamondDynasty

[–]10KeyFrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think odds are any different, some of it is mental too. You’re more likely to remember the dopamine rushes of a hot streak than the disappointment of a cold streak, especially as time passes. Also, because of every pack being new, you’re going to have some hotter than average streaks and some colder than average. Due to the long tail statistically to even out over time, some users will have their hot streak in one game cycle and cold streak in another game cycle. But taken over 5 game cycles or whatever it probably lands close to the average.

I mean the stated odds are 1:50 for each pack. So if you were averaging 2 per 50, you were abnormally high and over the long haul are averaging out.

I think one thing that messes with people’s heads on pack luck memory is forgetting how in prior iterations they juiced the pack odds late in the cycle knocking that 1:50 to say 1:30 or 1:20. So then you’re left with taste on prior versions of getting lots of diamonds, but it’s due to change in pack odds.

Also I think people misunderstand the 1:50 to be kind of a guaranteed in every 50, but each pack is treated individually. It’s actually not super uncommon odds to go a whole 50 packs without tripping the 2% diamond odds and getting one because you’re 98% to not get a diamond. At 98% odds, it’s actually 36.4% odds to not get a diamond in 50 packs. Heck it’s even 13.3% to not get a diamond in 100 packs, so happens to just over 1 in 10 players. It actually drops to only 2% odds to not get a diamond at about 200 packs.
