    A few thoughts.

    1. Thank you SDS for making it easy for easy for me to continue to ignore this mode
    2. Apparently you can never have too many Yankees (although I would never replace Gehrig with Giambi)
    3. Varitek has a 87, 95 and now a 99 meanwhile Johnny Bench has an 86 and Gary Carter an 80.
    4. SDS is leaning into the switch hitter meta with the 7th switch hitting 99 OVR Catcher
    5. Ballin is a habit packs?

    I get your point, but at least it makes sense with their playoff series happening.

    Varitek is a new Legend so he's gonna get multiple cards and Giambi I think only has the 89 Moonshot.

    They could have put some 'lesser' legends like Carter instead of the ballin packs

    Its October, we shouldn't have the rare rewards be something that is worse than the day 1 DQ map.

    But maybe they know people don't like the mode and are just going through the motions with it now

    I am willing to wait and see what the Spooky Program is about (it says 30 days of content) and what the 9th inning XP path is but I am on record of stating that with each playoff series having it's own program and most playoff teams getting multiple worthwhile cards over the next month (which I am fine with) that SDS should be focusing on how to also keep the fans of the other 18 teams invested in the game.

    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.

    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:

    1. Nobody waits for those cards and especially Yankee theme team guys
    2. 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)
    3. 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.

    @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.
