When I Buy a Pack - Do I have a Mathematical chance for ANY possible card?
 

I guess what I seem frustrated by (and hopefully you can help), is that it seems that while I've invested $$ a little bit of money, I don't think that I'm getting a proper pay off, even mathematically speaking.

I have DOZENS of commons and bronze cards not just duplicated, but it's like a bad rerun of Jon & Kate + Eight with sextuplets and such!

I understand that Diamonds & Golds & even Silvers are more rare and valuable, but with 3K cards to choose from, I don't feel like there is enough variety in the deck.

So I wish now, I could get my $80 back and I should have waited until November, when all cards were in circulation...My money would have been better spent...I really feel that you should be more transparent on how cards are released and the odds of receiving each card.

To make this less of a statistical black box, the actual way it seems to be done is the following:

1) Divide the raw MOV rating by 2 and add 25.
This is because these raw ratings are out of 130, but the actual MOV scale seems to be from 25-90, so this projects 0-130 onto 25-90.

2) Adjust for GB% by adding (0.885*(GB%-55.8)).
The average "Neutral" GB% pitcher has a GB% of about 55% rather than 50%. We know this because the NEU GB% range extends from something like 50-60%, roughly. So, this GB% adjustment changes your final MOV by accounting for how far away you are from true neutral. I gathered about 10 data points or so to come up with the coefficients, but this should be pretty close; I checked like 10 randomly selected pitchers and the (rounded) values were exact.

This is nearly the same formula as what ASURay has, but I think it's instructive to see why the values are what they are.

Devs (or anyone that might know)… Is the card list going to get updated once in a while or on a regular basis given that LIVE players fluctuate and also because there seems to be quite a few differences between the card list and what was actually in the game at the time of release (whether Live or Historical).

That being said, if not, I want to give my thanks for releasing this at the beginning as it was huge plus. Thanks!

Didn't we have a separate thread for random card errors or was that for 19? No idea. Anyway. Random card title errors I came across right now…

1. The 1996 Brian Jordan Unsung Hero card spells out "St. Louis Cardinals" in the title rather than the abbreviated STL like any other card in the game. It's ugly.

2. The 2014 Joe Panik Unsung Hero card lists "FRE" as team. Should really be "SF".

Also, Dan Brouthers is missing a team abbreviation on this card.

The 1992 Unsung Hero card for Deion Sanders also spells out "Atlanta Braves" rather than "ATL".

Shoeless Joe Jackson PEAK Card (97)
 

Shoeless Joe Jackson's K rate was exceptionally low, even for his era.

His avoid K of 40 on the "20-80" scale should be aqua or dark blue instead of yellow-orange.

Is there an updated end of year card list available?

Off topic but I need help.
 

Sorry, but I figured if anyone could help on this, you might be able too.

I recently put a Mike Schmidt '77 card up for auction. No one bought it and now it's completely disappeared from my roster. I've searched in "Manage Cards," rosters, card collections, activating inactive cards, etc., but he's just gone. :(

Help! :confused:

Did you check the box to automatically quicksell if no one bought it?
