Live Content Balance Change – Lowered Player Requirements for Live Series Captains
Live Series Captains serve an important role in the Diamond Dynasty landscape, providing incentive for completing collections, enabling easily accessible theme teams, and adding utility to Live Series cards.
We’ve found these captains aren’t being used as frequently as we’d like, even in theme teams, so we’ve lowered the squad building requirements for each tier of every Live Series Captain by one.
For example, previous Captains would need 5 players for their Tier 1 Boost; now they only need 4. We hope this will increase the utility of these Captains and make Live Series cards more viable in Ranked play.
Only way for live series cards to be more viable in ranked play, is to give us a live series only mode. With inside edge and super charged cards it would keep rosters fresh all season. Have a separate ranked seasons with a leaderboard just like the current setup. If people don’t wanna play it, they don’t have to

LS cards will NEVER be relevant as long as they keep release 99s

Which is why my post suggested a separated mode of only live series cards

That would be an option; but I think it wouldn't be feasible unless they restricted it to LS player rewards.
If someone has the choice to play for a 99 over card and they can do it either with a restriction of only LS cards or with ANY card they'll choose the latter.
Now doing it where you get a Choice Pack of a 90+, or even 95+ player as a reward; may work.

Personally, I'd prefer some type of CAPPED mode.
I don't mean to be "that guy" but are the dudes at SDS just DENSE?
It's not just the Live Series cards that are NOT being used...or the Captains...it's that neither are the All Star, Breakout, Veteran, 2nd Half Heroes, Rookie, and any other card that's NOT a WBC 97/99 or Charisma 97/99.
For real, what other cards do you even SEE in online Ranked Seasons games?
There's zero incentive to use any cards that aren't among these overpowered 97/99s.
When you flood the marketplace with all these OP'd cards that really aren't that difficult to get. What the heck do you THINK people are going to use?
Oh...I can lock in the Rockies Live Series and use the Todd Helton 92 Captain card...or I can go in the Marketplace and buy the 97 Freddie Freeman card that absolutely rakes for a whopping 11 or 12K Stubs. Hmmm....really tough choice there. SMH.
Yeah...maybe that 1 dude out of like 10,000 who is a big Rockies or University of Tennessee fan might pick Helton. But EVERY other player is going to go buy Freeman cheap and use that.
Did they hire some n00bs to help with DD this year?
Because anyone with half a brain and even a year of DD experience under their belt could've predicted this.

Live Series cards are fine. Between Supercharged and Inside Edge you can legitimately fill your roster with some and possible a full team of Live Series and be competitive... Bryan Reynolds was part of the reason I came away with my first Ranked win... not to mention they go up in price on the market when they get Supercharged... also Live Series cards serve other purposes as well because you will need these guys for Battle Royale, Events (that have overall cap), Showdown and Team Affinity Grinds.

I don't use a theme team because at max tier all my player get hit with like -10 fielding and arm accuracy.

I'm sure there will be an event or 2 that will focus on LS players. That's the only time they will be relevant.
