Understanding the Odds

Strategies for Success

To maximize your chances of pulling a Chase Pack player, consider the following strategies:

Timing Your Purchases: Some players believe that purchasing Chase Packs shortly after their release increases the likelihood of pulling a top-tier card. While this is anecdotal, it might be worth experimenting with.​

Monitoring the Market: Keep an eye on the marketplace to determine the current value of Chase Pack players. If you pull a player that's in high demand, you may be able to flip them for a significant number of stubs — enough to reinvest in additional packs or upgrade your squad in other ways. For instance, players like Aaron Judge, Ronald Acuña Jr., and Shohei Ohtani tend to retain strong market value depending on their current form and the meta.

Stacking Packs: Some seasoned players swear by opening Chase Packs in bulk. The idea is that by stacking 5–10 packs and opening them all at once, your chances of hitting a Chase Pack player slightly improve due to volume. This can also mitigate the frustration of unlucky single-pack opens.

Daily & Weekly Objectives: Occasionally, Chase Packs can be earned through completing specific missions, collections, or events — not just from direct purchases. Always check the “Programs” tab and your daily challenges. Even if the packs earned aren’t labeled “Chase” outright, completing those challenges often nets you packs that include a chance at bonus Chase content.

Use XP Wisely: The reward path for Season Programs often includes packs (sometimes even Chase Packs themselves). By grinding these programs through gameplay — especially in Conquest, Showdown, or Ranked — you can earn these packs without spending stubs. Combine this with smart marketplace flipping and you can build a stash of packs for every Friday’s drop.

Friday Updates – What They Mean for the Meta

Every Friday, when a new Chase Pack card is revealed, it often shifts the meta slightly — especially in Ranked Seasons and Events. If the Chase Pack player has elite stats (like a 5-tool outfielder or a high-velocity reliever with a nasty slider), you’ll start seeing that card pop up in matches almost immediately.

Here’s an example: Chase Pack 6 included a 95 OVR “Lightning” Trea Turner card with elite baserunning, 90+ fielding, and 90+ contact against both sides. By Saturday afternoon, he was all over Ranked play. Knowing what card is incoming and preparing for it (or investing in counter-strategies) can give you a huge edge.

A Word of Caution: RNG Is Still King

Despite all the strategy and planning, at the end of the day, Chase Packs — like all pack-based content — are governed by RNG (random number generation). You could open 10 packs and strike gold, or open 30 and get nothing but duplicates and silvers. Be mindful of your stub balance, set limits for yourself, and try not to let the chase override the fun of the game.

Conclusion

Chase Packs in MLB The Show 25 represent a fun and often rewarding gamble, and their weekly Friday updates keep the game fresh and the community engaged. Whether you're in it for the thrill, the collection grind, or just trying to land that one player to round out your squad, approaching Chase Packs with strategy and patience can greatly enhance your Diamond Dynasty experience.
