Hello new Xbox users,
Thank you all for joining our community, we're glad to have you. I know some people like the OP want to scare you about DD. The majority of us know that you've still been able to play games like Madden, FIFA, NBA 2K, NHL, etc. who require far more of your time and hard earned money to play with the cards you want.
You'll find DD is nothing like those modes. Your cards don't disappear, you don't have to Jack with multiple forms of currency, and you can skip paying extra money for a team to be able to compete.
I know sounds great right. You guys are going to love it here. See you on the diamond!
Sincerely,
Not a grumpy Debbie Downer
Entirely inaccurate fake news as always. Nobody has better teams than no money spent players in fifa. You wouldn’t know because your of the crew that claims they haven’t played an EA game in a decade but always tells you exactly how they work.
From Day 1 pay to win players will have the same advantage they always do in this game, load up the CC for direct in game currency which gives direct $ values to every and any player in the game on day 1. Not pay to win though. The best card in the game and three 99 overalls that won’t be matched for 5 months can be purchased the second the game is live, not pay to win though. TA is the only grind in the game and it’s 100% purchasable....oh sorry, you can’t buy the gold prospects, just the 99 overalls face of the franchise and finest cards.
There was what, 10 cards total this year you can’t purchase for an exact dollar sign?
Ah so you're going to gloss over the fact the best two pitchers in the game for the first 5 months were XP rewards only available by playing the game...

"Uh Breaker 1-9 I got a grip on your lip but you might wanna start grabbin back downstairs to the double nickels 10-4?"
Sorry had a moment!
it means "i hear what your sayin but slow down ok?" Just b/c someone has those cards does not mean they are gonna win, they still have to know how to use them.
Just tryin to have fun!
-
Nah, DD is the most friendly in all sports games you can play.
I think everyone is prepared to invest at least some time in these kind of modes -
For me, the grind is what keeps me coming back to the game. I love being able to earn new players to add to my squad.
-
I will not touch DD with a 10 foot pole. I am strictly a Franchise player.

Im confused on how some people can say doing BR is a good way to get stubs. How many ppl could really say they went 12-0. Spendin stubs to enter kinda makes it a big gamble. Its Ive never actually tried to do BR alot, i just never had enough stubs to want to gamble because to me its like spending 1k on a pack and getting nothing. Ive went 12 0 few times in events and id say im slightly above average player but yea BR to make stubs just seems like luck with 3 inning games

I bet you guys are excited for mlbts to be coming to your consoles. Welcome to you all. I think a heads up is in order since you guys are new.
I wanted to let you all know about diamond dynasty, the mode they promote the most. Yes its fun playing with flashback players and legends and building your team. What they don't tell you is you have to pay with your time or your money. You will have to grind the you know what out of the game to get a good team on the field. Or you could pull out the credit card and buy your team. If you don't have a lot of time and or money, this may not be the best mode for you to play.
Online alternatives are custom mlb leagues and if it's still in the game online rated where you can jump into a game anytime using any mlb team.
Again, welcome and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.You mean like every other sports game with an ultimate team? lol Of course - however compared to fifa, madden, and especially NBA2K, it's pretty easy. Besides if you really like the game and play it everyday, is it really a grind?
A play fifa 21 FUT and have never spent a penny.

1,500 to enter and you are getting at least a pack for your trouble. Early on silvers and gold's are pricey. So your pack could get you something nice and a 6 win run can make you a profit. Get a 9 or 12 win run and you can make a good profit.
It's definitely not a guaranteed thing though.
I think it's all about what you want out of it. My situation for example I play in a custom league where we draft LS and Legends. My goal is only to keep and acquire the cards I have on my league roster. I'll sell everything else I don't need. For stub making I like to invest in cards that can possibly upgrade to a higher tier.
I play Events mostly, I don't play RS a ton anymore and BR even less.

DD isn’t pay to play — even time consuming wise you can win in certain areas and sell big cards to finish collections.
There are countless ppl with “no money spent” videos you can watch. You can get every single card without spending a single dollar outside of the cost of the game. So I don’t understand why you would tell people that.
Even the absolute best cards in the game can be obtained through going 12-0 in BR
I certainly agree that DD is probably the best for NMS players compared to all other UT games out there but let's not act like going 12-0 in BR is common or anything lol

It's designed for the Elite. They created the mode b/c they complained about playing full 9 inning games. Now in a sense they control the market. These guys are also the same guys that get to WS which those rewards i am ok with But it is essentially Double Dipping Rewards b/c these same people that complained about 9 inning games are doing both. But BR Rewards selling for 1 million and they only played 36 innings tops pffff GTFOH! That's one of the main reasons i dont play ranked.
These guys go 12-0 in 3 inning games most of thier opponent quit after 1rst HR. That's 36 innings probablly less. But avg joe playing RS has to play 9 9inning games if they do it undefeated to get to pennant race diamond for a 5 k - 10kcard That's 81 INNINGS! One of the main reasons why i don't play ranked. And why i don't buy those cards.
BR Rewards need revamped big time it makes me sick logging in and seeing that mode knowing somebody didn't grind as hard as me and just made a million stubs!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone complain about having to play 9 innings lol
Also BR rewards need to be revamped because you can’t achieve them so because others can and didn’t “grind as hard as you (by playing as many innings)” they shouldn’t be rewarded?
Hot take lol

Does anyone else see the irony of a Dodgers fan warning players that they may have to pull out their credit card and buy a team?

This.
For me, it’s not a “grind”. It’s fun. I didn’t start DD until May last year, and I have every good card in the game with the exception of some of the BR/WS rewards. I didn’t spend any money. I’d say I got my $99 worth and then some.

Then you weren't paying attn to the msg boards prior to BR's release.
Where did i say i couldn't achieve them?
And if you bothered to read my post you would see that i explained why they shouldn't be rewarded with the cards they get.
I see you post just like A_perfectgame 2nd account or are you related?
So yeah not truth and you are not my friend. So you can join him in the blocked section of my library. You have a great night!

This community is so kind and compassionate, haha.
Compared to what EA and 2k offer up for “ultimate team” modes, the show is a breath of sports gaming on a budget fresh air.
Honestly the only advice any new players need is to work the count and enjoy the grind. It’s well worth it. Joey Gallo will win you just as many games as one Michael Nelson Trout will.

You make some good points. Good players get the good cards while the rest of us who are not good don't get the cards we need. What would you suggest they change?
For me, I think C.S. should get the reward W.S. players get.
An idea for BR would be if you at least go 9-0 you get some kind of chance for the 12-0 card. Like a choose pack A, B, or C. It's just an idea that would give players who are average to get cards that the elite get.

No 12-0 is not by any stretch an easy task but on that road to 12-0 there is a lot of rewards and possible stubs especially early on that are worth it for collections with the possibility of a big cash out.

BR Rewards need revamped big time it makes me sick logging in and seeing that mode knowing somebody didn't grind as hard as me and just made a million stubs!
For starters. 12-0 is one of the hardest things to do in the game. People quit after one inning the first 3-5 games but when you get to the third tier and you are playing your 6-9 game run and 9-12 game run those are usually some hard games for the most part. Generally you don’t see as many quits when you are playing other people in similar win situations as you are.
Secondly. Not to be a douche. But if the grind “isn’t as much as the grind you did” then just grind that and get those rewards? Obviously we both know this is the harder route to grinding. And if it’s the harder route then how is it you worked harder then someone that did the hardest thing to do in the game....
The reason the stubs are that high is because that’s it’s demand of cards that are rare and hard to achieve....it’s not like someone decided that price. The market is willing to pay that price.
