For those complaining about online stat grinds... You actually ONLY play the CPU? That has to be extremely boring. Why dont you hop online and face a real challenge that will help you get much better at the game and get those stat grinds going while doing so.

I think the idea of this has to be viewed a differnt way. The idea of this is to show off what you have done to others and the time you put into the game as such the only players that this would impact is online guys so that is how they are acquired. Yes I understand you want to see it in your collection but at its core this is a calling card that tells other online competitors your level. Yes there is a 3+ increase to the card but in reality this is a just a display of what you have done in the game to other you compete against something offline players wouldnt be doing

I don't mind that prestige diamonds are online only grinds. I just feel like making the Inning Bosses those types of cards is a poor design choice. After all innings bosses can be earned by playing strictly offline.
They should have made the some of the online reward cards for BR, Events or Ranked Seasons as prestige enabled cards. That way the people who earn those cards are guaranteed to already be players who play the online modes.

The content was enough to finally push me into preordering.
My only complaint is that inning bosses that have prestige missions that are online only.I dont Know how many people will go out of their way for the prestige missions though. A +3 to all attributes isn’t worth the time for me at least
I think if you like the player you would get this done but also if the card is good with you and you play a lot, you may unlock the Prestige diamond without even trying.

So are you saying there should be only certain cards that are for online players only that they can prestige
If that's the case that would not go over well, Stan Musial Immortal was earned only via online play in 18 and people lost their minds. Boss cards should be the only cards to prestige as there will only be 36 of them assuming all 12 inning programs have 3 bosses

- I don't have to deal with players who rely on cheese.
- I don't have to worry about the CPU quitting on me before a HR lands.
- I don't have to potentially deal with abusive players, obscene logos or ugly jerseys.
- I can pause if something in real life comes up and is more important without annoying another player.
And the number 1 answer is.
- I don't need to beat other anonymous players online to validate myself or to have fun with the game.

So then you get the 91 Todd Helton and it doesn't matter to have a shiny Red diamond because you only play CPU. GG

So playing in conquest doesn’t count towards a players prestige?

What is the difference? From what we saw, you cannot prestige any card unless you play online anyway.
As long as the online reward cards are sellable then offline players could still buy them.The biggest problem with the Musial card was that he was only earned through online play and was not sellable.

No it is for online due to the fact that DD is an online mode.

In the end it probably won't matter at all. But is it wrong to want the option? If there is a Cardinals inning boss then I would like to have the option to prestige him, especially since he will be in my lineup anyway.
They could have just made the requirements offline higher. They already do that for innings played in Team affinities where online innings earn more points than offline ones.

But these cards aren't sellable if you want to Prestige these cards you have to lock them in so there is no stub value to this process. So again it only breaks down to a visual flex to those you play against

No it is for online due to the fact that DD is an online mode.
An online only mode that has
Showdown (offline)
Conquest (offline)
Moments (offline)
Play vs CPU (offline)Just because it started as an online only mode does not mean that it is still one.

Your opinion is not wrong! I just think those prestige diamonds should be sellable which would make all cards obtainable for offline and online guys.
If they had an offline stat grind it would have to be A LOT HIGHER.
For example : Todd Helton I believe is like 103 hits ONLINE. that would need to be like 500 hits (maybe even higher) Offline due to the fact that you can play versus CPU away bat him 2 or 3 and hit once with him quit out and repeat. You can clock like 45 abs in the time that the online user would clock 3-4 abs. -

We have had this conversation before and not even going to start this again. DD is made for users to build a team and compete against other Online users. sure it can have offline features but the mode was not created to play strictly offline and I think we can all agree that is pretty obvious.

They also made a pair of WS rewards immortals and immortals were not on the market. There were 3 cards that offline players could not get.

Difference being that offliners couldn't acquire Musial AT ALL. Here, everyone can still get the 91 Helton, for example. They just can't get the tweaked 94 version.
Seems like a most reasonable compromise.

I agree this is a good program compared to the immortals of 18
