Today a fifth special limited-time pack made its way into MLB The Show 16. For the most part these have proven to be questionable investments, as the promise of “increased chances” at pulling higher valued cards has remained pretty hollow. Increasing already miniscule odds by slight amounts does not justify paying at over five times the price of a standard pack.

The “Surprise Pack” pack includes six player cards that may include any of the three unknown players selected for having exceeded expectations so far this season. There’s also the supposed doubled odds of drawing Golds/Diamonds and the packs contain the first opportunity to grab new Legend, Prime, Postseason, and Rookie Flashback cards. So is this a pack worth purchasing?
