The collection one doesn't really bother me all that much. The Prestige Diamonds being locked behind online grinds irked me though. Online already basically had a monopoly on BR rewards, why give them another with this?
But at least many of the online rewards are sellable now. Correct? So you have a chance to buy them. The prestige ones are not sellable.
Lets be honest. The average player did not have a chance to buy most BR 12-0 Rewards without spending real money or stripping their squad down to the bare minimum

The prestige thing is fine. They would be too easy to get offline. Besides, in order to get them you have to lock in the original and the prestige isn’t sellable either.
Then make the offline grind more difficult. Make offline players do the entire season instead

I only caught a tiny part of the stream, but I did see them talking about the prestige diamonds and how they were using them to respond to the requests for the return of some of the stat grinds. Except that in my experience, 95+% of the people asking for stat grinds were offline players looking for more to do than just play Conquest over and over.
As someone looking for better things to do with my DD collection without having to play H2H, was there anything new in this stream?

- Three Batter minimum applies in BR (I don't play BR and this seems extreme even to me)
Overall, I loved all the new stuff and it pushed me forward to pre-order. The first one is really the only one that kind of tilted me a little.
#1 is going to cause a lot more people to complain about dashboarders...
Yup, I swear you would think that they learned that on 17. So far I dont care about those 3 players, but if they have a Reds Prestige card, I'm going to be pissed.

No.
Unless they incorporate that option more into Moments, but I would not hold my breath
-
I think all those things you mentioned are good things. Imo not everything should be unlockable anyway for everyone. There are things that should be in certain modes that I don’t play that I will never get. It makes things more interesting.

Dashboarders and people who automatically bean/pitch around those cards a la the Griffey cards from 17.

I'll be honest. I quit playing '18 when Stan Musial came out as non-sellable card that could only be earned with online play.

Why, all the things were cumulative stats, not single game [censored].

Nobody wants a HR to not count on their stats because some sore loser could not wait until the ball landed to quit. The only reason to quit before the outcome of the play is completed is to penalize your opponent. That is just a childish and immature thing to do.

Because not everyone spends 40+ hrs a week playing this game, so each lost HR or RBI or hit is magnified.
Taking an extra week or two to complete a challenge simply because you got dashboarded 5 times a week will become very annoying.

Nope. DD has a Destiny problem for offline players: "Lots of content and none of it matters."
The game plays like dogshvt online and SDS continually trying to push folks towards the borderline broken H2H modes, at least in relation to the offline portion, is going to catch up to them eventually.
-
It looks like there's the ability to do the Evolution programs (the new rookie-to-prime) offline, but that's a small thing. Still no meaningful 9-inning single-player DD games with your collection.

Spot on about the stat missions. SDS completely missed the point of why people wanted them.
A lot of the stuff from the stream seems cool, but a lot of it left me with a bad feeling.

Yup, this.

My issue is they spent the 1st half of the stream screaming choice, then evolution comes up and it brings back programs that are achieved through online only. That is not choice. Then prestige bosses and again online only, this is not choice. I loved everything and then they went Bungo on this content.

Other than Prestige bosses, what else could "only be achieved online"?

Evolution cards allow your to complete programs that can only be completed grinding online only activities.

It didn't appear to me that the Evolution programs required online play. The Eckersley one, for example, had the diamond reward at 50 points. Stage 1, which is all moments, gives 30 points. Stage 2 has a few options. There's an online mission for 10 points, an offline mission for 10, an exchange for 10, or a set of moments for 10. So the online mission is not required for 50.

Wow, I missed that first part. That really annoys me. I also hate the no quickselling/exchanging locked card. Absolutely NO ONE asked for that.
