Your Diamond Quest rewards for Sep 30th (The Jason Drop)
-
I’m trying to make a roster for it but it says my lineup doesn’t make the rules. I have all players from teams listed on the list.

A few thoughts.
- Thank you SDS for making it easy for easy for me to continue to ignore this mode
- Apparently you can never have too many Yankees (although I would never replace Gehrig with Giambi)
- Varitek has a 87, 95 and now a 99 meanwhile Johnny Bench has an 86 and Gary Carter an 80.
- SDS is leaning into the switch hitter meta with the 7th switch hitting 99 OVR Catcher
- Ballin is a habit packs?
I continue to play the programs but overall this game just doesn’t interest me this year
-
-
Does anyone know to make a lineup for this diamond quest? I’ve tried using players from the teams listed and it’s not working. What are the requirements?

I think the rewards are a pretty smart move by the content guys … Let me explain:
- Nobody waits for those cards and especially Yankee theme team guys
- There would be far more complaints if there would be a significant reward lots of ppl would really want about the odds, that ppl just do not understand (which could also be the case irl)
- Varitek is just Switch-hitting Catcher number 5 for most of the ppl
-
As a Sox fan, I'll take a Varitek. I liked his earlier cards. As for Giambi, it's weird... I don't WANT to like his cards, but I always love them.

Giambi has that typical meta swing. It’s short, compact, and quick through the zone. It’s the best way to get to outlier fastballs on HoF and legend. It’s why Trout, Corey Seager, Trea Turner, Kyle Schwarber, etc are always wildly popular among the competitive player base

Just played my first time through this DQ. Passed every challenge. Played both stadiums on All-Star, with a 68% chance of getting a card. Got nothing... not even the BIAH packs.
P.S. Yes, I know how math works. Just a bummer. Such a weird mode.
-
Which is why the mode is trash in its current configuration. The packs are already heavily RNG based. I don't want these rewards, after a successful run to boil down to an RNG card flip
-
I played through it last night missed 2 or 3 and still had a 60% chance on veteran and got both cards, sold both and got John Donaldson
-
I think there is a pretty easy fix. Increase base rate by 25% each failure to get a card.
Would guarantee a maximum of 4 runs, but most of the time it would be gotten in 2
They could even make the cards quicksell only if you fail to get them on the first run to make the goat players feel special

Bragging about your good luck in response to someone else's bad luck is not a good practice.
-
I apologize if I offended anyone
-
@Dolenz_PSN
I don’t really see how this is bragging -
@MRAD2010_XBL usually it is a pitcher in your rotation or bullpen that causes this issue.. Check that, even though pitching moments are rare in DQ.
-
@sbchamps17_NSW I played again today and ended up getting both cards... Luck of the draw...
-
Illustrating how not everyone has bad luck is great practice.

Wow your comment about Bench not having a 99 didn't age well did it? Like obviously they already had the corner stone ready to be shown, but you just had to make a post and look bad. Ouch, oh and funny how the only time you hear people say DQ stinks is on this forum. Seems like 95% of the players actually really like it and have no problem getting the rewards.
-
It aged fine. At the time I posted this he did not have one yet. At the time I posted this he had an 86.
I even correctly guessed that he would be a cornerstone card the day before this thread was even created.

Its pretty obvious from the price of the cards on the market that most people think it sucks
