20 Card Max
-
Ive played the game since 21 and only this game. I’m done for good now. You guys just turned this game I spend $100 on already into an EA game. Nothing special anymore…
-
Absolutely terrible change seriously thinking about stopping playing the franchise as a whole last good no money spent and it’s over now greed ruins everything eventually
-
Almost makes the game unplayable as far as Diamond Dynasty. This ruins the experience for No Money Spent players, and most of those players aren’t just going to start spending money, they just won’t play. It’s pretty terrible, there’s honestly no reason why I can’t own as many of a player as I want. Overall really bad.

Investing in cards is my favorite part of the game and the 20 card limit is a massive blow to that aspect of the game. I wouldn’t have an issue if the limit weren’t so ridiculously low. Seems like a cash grab from SDS and the only thing it will change is alienating the loyal fan base who doesn’t want to spend hundreds of dollars on stubs just to keep up.
I quit spending money on NBA 2k for the same reason, and I and I’m sure many others will do the same for The Show if this trajectory continues.
-
Working the market and being able to predict who is going to go up or down on the market is one of the most fun things to do on the game. Changing to 20 cards max takes away from those who invest a lot of time on the auction block.
-
It’s not a good thing for the game whatsoever. It eliminates a great way of making stubs to people who have jobs, school, and just can’t play the game all the time.
I’m not going to have a card limit in real life I can buy a card over and over again and it’s my risk/reward.
-
This is not an attempt to defend anything, but I can tell you that it is absolutely still possible to complete all collections NMS. I do it every year without investing...and yes I have a job, family and life as well.
-
I have previously too, with bots so prevalent on the market to this point...it's very difficult to make meaningful amounts of stubs flipping. I would guess maybe if you grind all the content like crazy and have average pack luck...maybe you could get collections done by July at the earliest, with August or later being more likely. At the end of the day, it's very obvious that SDS intentionally took away all avenues to generate meaningful stubs from the market to try and get players to buy stubs from them.
-
Look i dont have all day to grind im not a streamer. Also I'm not spending 3k to buy all live series. Flipping is a part of the game and changing this without warning is bad. Also paxk odds sucks ive opened well over 50 regular packs with no diamonds when your odds say 1 in 50...
-
I only played last year to be able to invest.
I like baseball. This game, a baseball video game, reliably allows me to play baseball games, which I like. This is a good game for me.
It appears that you like something else.
Perhaps you are looking for a different game. -
The 20-card limit really hurts one of the best parts of Diamond Dynasty: investing in the market.
Before this change, players could study real MLB performance, predict roster updates, and invest accordingly. It encouraged engagement with the live MLB season. Now that investing is capped at 20 copies per card, that strategy is basically gone.
Bronze and silver investments are no longer worth the effort, and the market feels much less dynamic because players can’t meaningfully invest in breakout players.
If the goal was to prevent market manipulation, there may be better ways to address that without removing a core strategy that many NMS players used to earn stubs.
Please take away this 20 card max rule or at least consider raising the cap (even something like 100–200 per card) so investing can remain a meaningful part of Diamond Dynasty.

The 20 card ownership limit in MLB The Show might be the worst change SDS has made in years.
What made The Show special was that it wasn’t like other sports games. If you understood baseball and the market, you could invest, build stubs, and compete without spending money.
Now that entire strategy is basically gone.
Investing wasn’t a niche, but it was an entire community, content scene, and playstyle that made Diamond Dynasty unique.
Take that away and the game starts looking a lot more like every other pay to win sports game.
If the goal is stopping bots or extreme hoarding, there’s a better middle ground:
raise the limit to something like 200–500 cards instead of 20.That protects the market while still keeping the investing strategy that made Diamond Dynasty stand out.
The Show stood out because it respected player strategy.
Don’t turn it into the same thing everyone already complains about. This will ruin the show long term.

Please change
-
Please change this, Investing is a good way for everybody to make stubs and everybody enjoys investing in players when they’re doing well

@BadBunny46152_XBL
i agree this made the show so different from any other game it got me so much more into the show please bring it back -
@BadBunny46152_XBL well said man. I completely agree. This changes everything, and not in a good way. Please make this change SDS to at least increase the max you can hold.
-
@BadBunny46152_XBL 100 percent man make sds great again
-
@BadBunny46152_XBL this is it right here. no other sports game comes close to anything like this which is why SDS and The Show are so great. This 20 card max is just flat out a step in the wrong direction tho. Limiting your players ways of enjoying the game is not the way to do it SDS! Be the great company you are and listen to the people!!
-
@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN Is that really what you think investors do?? lol you have no idea. Not only does it make us play the game more because we want the stubs to invest in favorite players, but it makes us watch real baseball even more and be fans of it to see who's improving! Hating on people for playing a game a certain way is sad brotha. God bless
-
Absolutely horrible. The one game that actually was fun to grind currency in and didn’t make it pay to win gave in. Just pitiful and money hungry from sds
