What are you talking about? There are only 2 online missions and you can get to 25 stars without doing any of them.

This mode can be enjoyed both online and offline. We should focus our energy more on getting SDS to fix the game we all love, instead of fighting amongst ourselves on who DD is catered to.
The only meaningful singleplayer mode that uses our DD collections is Conquest. For those who like Conquest, that's fine. But they shouldn't expect everyone to be happy with three-inning road games. DD is a mode where we're very strongly encouraged to customize our team to our heart's content, including uniforms, but in Conquest I will never see my home uniforms. I will never use my stadium cards. I will never get the thrill of a walk-off victory.
This is 100% correct. I remember the Show 17 had Team affinities tied to beating each team on 3 different levels (Rookie, Veteran & All Star). So that would be 90 full nine inning games for offline play. Stat grinds were fun, but the were abused by those playing the Rockies on Rookie non stop.
I get your point though, there isn't a full 9 inning game offline experience to rival Ranked Seasons. Conquest is the offline version of BR and Events. Showdown is glorified moments that gives the CPU superpowers.
I enjoyed some of the stat grinds buy SDS went overboard in 18 when you needed X number of lefty or righty saves.

I prefer offline play, and i do play RS too. playing the cpu can get very stale over and over, but for grinding stats i wish you could do both. for example the granderson HR's. I have 3 online, why not just double it for offline to 20 Hr's or with Heltons stats make it be more. I don't know. it's gonna take me awhile to get 10 dingers with Granderson, because I have a harder time online than offline. just my 2 cents and it ain't worth much.

@Johnny_Coletrain said for example the granderson HR's. I have 3 online, why not just double it for offline to 20 Hr's
Can't wait to finish Granderson HR mission to get him out of my lineup. I am at 4 now. I think I have hit about 20 Hrs foul with him, just can never get them fair in an online game.

You can get 30 of the required... 25.... points needed without playing an online game. Stop whining.
20 points are online only. What are you even lobbying for? All 50?
Yes, every stat grind should be online or offline.
So you want to go back to 50 saves per team , 500 abs, 150 hits, 75 hr or whatever it was? Hell no. I play offline mostly but enjoy ranked season when I’ve caught up on the TA grind and these missions are perfect. Both sides win. You don’t even have to play online to get Zimmerman, maybe you just can’t win on all star and want some easy “ 5 at bats with national players” vs the cpu on rookie type missions.
Who said anything about changing the quantity? If online players can get 10 points by getting 10 hits with Nats, offline players should be able to get 10 points by getting 10 hits with Nats. It's that simple. And they should be for fully completed games, not people who "hit and quit."
but its way easier vs the cpu. So it would have to be double that ...

No it wouldn't have to be, there's no rule that says it has to be. And even if it was, 20 hits, 10 hits, what's the big deal?
Another example, just came in the Jackie program. Online gets you 20 points based on 10 runs and 10 XBH with Dodgers. Offline requires 7 TB in one game with Jackie Robinson as a moment and 5 stolen bases with Dodgers in Conquest. One is clearly easier than the other, and it's not the offline.

Why do people talk about franchise? How is franchise anything like DD?
You can literally collect and trade for the players you want. Turn on force trades, then bam. You can have the greatest team. Why spend money and then play offline in DD?
Trading in Franchise and collecting in DD are in no way related. Nor is building in team. They are 2 completely different modes.
What makes you think DD is just about getting the best players without doing anything for them? I mean I guess that's the logic for people who just buy stubs to buy cards on the market but most like earning their cards. Preferably in the method they like the best.
Well the guy I was asking said "I pay and play just like the rest of you"
- I don't spend a dime on stubs what a waste
- Why spend money collecting cards just to play boring offline
3)Why grind for players, but don't use the players, that's what my point is
Who said offline players don't use the players they get?
They're not playing online. In Diamond Dynasty. AN ONLINE GAME MODE. Like you're grinding for players that you only play conquest and grinding for other players with.
When someone is an online player, they are referring to someone who plays RS, BR or Events. Someone who doesn't play those is considered offline. Yes, conquest, moments, showdown are all done through DD, an "Online" mode, but they're played against a computer. Hence, offline.

I got Zimmerman with out doing anything online. It was easy. Finish all the moments. Beat the Nats on AS vs the CPU. Then get the 10 RBI's with Nat players. You can get Wood and Granderson just doing offline. If you wanted the extra program stars for Ist inning that was online. I play offline and online I like having a choice. Wood was easier online. Granderson I did a little of Both. Zimmerman all offline. Why is anyone complaining.

So once again online gets more missions and points than offline players. This is horse [censored]. I pay and play just as much as everyone else. I know what some are going to say but soon even online won't be using this card so why am I being penalized. I should be be able to buy a cheaper version of the game. Same as CAP I am not allowed to earn the bat skin. B.S. sds

It really does not matter what is easier for you. What matters is that you can obtain the card offline and online and you can. I got Zimmerman with out doing anything online. It was easy.

Because the games played so bad for three years online players need to find enjoyment on here as opposed to in game.

Tfw DD is designed to be pvp so you'll never get the offline online experience you crave so badly
Show me one place where SDS says DD is designed to be PvP.
In the place where half of its game modes (RS, BR, Events) are all pvp, last time I checked offline people got franchise, rtts, MTO, and homerun derby
If they were aiming for offline players to be playing DD over anything else then almost everything would be do-able offline
That must be why Conquest is 30 stars and gives you free packs and they just came out with a brand new offline mode this year (Showdown).
I will add this I got Zimmerman with out doing anything online. It was easy. Finish all the moments. Beat the Nats on AS vs the CPU. Then get the 10 RBI's with Nat players. You can get Wood and Granderson just doing offline. If you wanted the extra program stars for Ist inning that was online. I play offline and online I like having a choice. Wood was easier online.

I play online and offline, The Granderson HR online are hard for me to get as well. I was still able get to 825 stars in the 1st inning but it would be nice to be able to finish that mission. I have given up and have moved on from it.

@JoeStraz14 said in April monthly awards:
I'm an offline player only and I won't touch franchise. Comparing them are like comparing apples to watermelons. Gaining stars, completing missions, team affinity and player moments are all fun to play, even offline.
Yep, I hate the just go play franchise response. I was doing the Kaline moments yesterday, not because I am dying to have him on my team but because I enjoy working towards a goal.
To assume that the offline players don't get enjoyment completing moments and missions, collecting cards, saving up stubs for a favorite player, or pulling a diamond from a free pack is just looking at the game and offline players through blinders.
Also, just because DD started as an online mode does not mean it is only online. Conquest, Moments, Showdown, Team Affinities are all modes that can be played entirely offline. Meanwhile, offline players buy stubs, put cards up for sale, buy the cards you put up for sale, we don't overload the servers and we don't cheese players online. In fact they only place you even have to deal with them is on the forum and even then many are dismissive of them.

Yes I realize that and that's why I'm saying why waste money for nothing
