Robert Flores actually just said this in Ratings Reveal stream
-
Talking about the Dodgers collection
"The best card in the game is your credit card".
I don't think that was probably something SDS wanted stated during an official promotional stream.
-
BTW, they are just doing the top 100 rated DD cards from the look of it
-
At least he didn’t say “your parents’ credit card” I guess
-
Hahaha. He's not wrong. I've always liked Ro Flo.
-
He knows!
Also liked…”make sure your account is linked for drops, those bronze packs won’t open themselves!”

SDS is probably fine with that, let people think spending is normal behavior so they swipe more
-
Roflo speaks the truth.

I haven't been keep up a lot with what's going on with '26. So in saying all of that is it possible that it will be more expensive for this year's addiction... sorry I mean addition...then in previous years? Are they going the route of a dreaded dumpster fire mobile baseball game that this time I'll keep nameless that I loath and try to force no money spent guys to put some skin in the game?

The joke is that the Dodgers IRL bought up all the talent and thus collecting their team will be ridiculously expensive. (The other side of that is collecting the rest of the teams should be cheaper so it all evens out, but that's not as funny so it goes unsaid.)

I thought last year in the first third of the year they were going a little too hard with the packs and the live series rarity/high caps. But once we hit the summer series with 4500 quick sells, stubs were flowing as freely as ever, and not just for people who cheesed diamond quest. And it ended up being easy to get all the cards (unless you missed Bregman like I did)
I expect similar this year. There will be complaints early on, but by August it will be a non issue.
We do know the live series quick sell prices are the same at least for what thats worth.
I am a little baffled that SDS hasn't tried other ways to earn income, if they released an inning pass that doubled pack rewards for example. People would buy the [censored] out of that.
-
Agreed, I'd buy them if they offered those.
I would never buy stubs. Absolutely no value in them at the price point they are selling them for.
-
He was saying stuff like that last year during this stream, saying gonna have to steal mom’s credit card. Dude needs his [censored] kicked.

We're these the ratings for the actual LS cards or for Franchise mode?
Did they reveal all 30 teams?
If so, when in the stream did the reveal the Red Sox players?

It was Diamond Dynasty ratings
I did not watch the whole thing but from what I saw they were just counting down the top 100. Basically any player that was not a gold was not shown
Since no Cardinal even made the list I stopped watching it.
-
@Dolenz_PSN Top 100 in DD plus the team’s highest player for teams who don’t have a gold.
-
Red Sox:
Crochet - 89
Chapman - 88
Duran - 81Cardinal(s) were shown!
Svanson - 80White Sox with the saddest collection, with Montgomery at a 77, proving that SDS doesn't play favorites.
-

Svanson - 80Thanks.
Kind of interesting that Svanson ended as a 80 and stayed an 80 while Winn apparently dropped at least 4 OVR levels from an 83 down to a silver.
I assume it is because 2025 was Svanson's only year so there was no other history.
-
@Dolenz_PSN It’s supposed to be the last 3 years, but that doesn’t really explain that discrepancy. SDS does weird things with rankings. Like keeping Mike Trout a diamond while making Machado a gold every year.
-
@SaveFarris_PSN Don’t hate them for doing what the system has created and allowed. This is coming from a Pirates fan. If we could do what they are doing I’d be all for it. It’s legal and Scott Boras loves it, so the union loves it. The day of reckoning draws near though.
-
@lhubison58_xbl, I'm with you. The Pirates are a perfect example. If you can't make enough money with PNC and Skenes on the bump every 5th day to field a competitive roster, you need to sell the team immediately to someone who can.
