Trout CF CarGo RF Sandberg 2B Granderson LF Affinity Correa SS Rendon 3B Bregman 1B Garver C Pitcher
Hopefully this gets better throughout the season when more cards are released. I’m tired of facing Kluber seemingly 75% of the time online. Same with Matt Olson and Joey Gallo...

I like hitting with him a lot -- he might actually have the highest online average on my team
Last night at like 2AM I was grinding events games to get to 800 1st inning stars. I took the lead on this guy in the top of the 4th, and in the bottom of the inning with 2 outs and 2 strikes he paused and sat there for 3 1/2 minutes until there was 5 seconds left and then quit.
I messaged him saying wtf you're just wasting your own time too and he said he was sitting there watching Tik Toks and that he thought it was funny.
Some people....

That way we could close our eyes and swing the bat and still win instead of closing our eyes, not swing the bat, and still win like we can now. Exactly!! All these fanboys don’t realize how valuable our time is? How am I supposed to get prestige level 100 if I have to take 100 pitches in showdown because they want to code Hader to throw balls? It’s a win-win for them. If I chase, I lose. If I take the walks, then I won’t be able to progress as fast in the XP path for those free stubs. Then I gotta pay $200 to get Trout instead of waiting until diamond level 85 to get him for free. If you can’t see that, you’re a fanboy. Plain and simple It's hilarious you liked and responded to his post, it's obviously sarcastic. You’d think a Cardinals fan would be familiar with and understand shady organizations and cheating . Never forget the Astros were victims before all this went down. But, back on topic. If you can’t see it’s rigged, then you’re a fanboy. Plain and simple Lol, that's hilarious. I didn't even know we were still rivalries with how you guys have played the past few years. I actually really like what the Reds did this offseason and had them picked for #1 in the division, but if you wants to hate, go ahead.

All the baseball ops people in the NL Central better be routinely updating their passwords lol... the Cards need to prepare for this year's draft
I finally got a triple in my first at bat, but was only given 3 at bats total and lost...
Yeah I’m pretty frustrated with this one right now as well... seems like you need to get lucky and get 3 doubles and a single to win
I’ve had a ton of fun playing the game so far, but although I know more content will be released, it feels like there’s just an overall lack of content right now compared to previous years. And it feels like the content that we do have does not yield much opportunity to earn stubs.
For NMS players, how are we feeling about completing all the collections this year? It feels like the only way to get stubs right now is to work the market. I’ve always spent a ton of time flipping cards, and I’ve done the same this year (I have 900+ pages of completed orders already).
The removal of team affinity programs really removed a lot of opportunity to earn organically through the game. Meanwhile SDS is releasing new Diamond cards almost daily… this all seems intentional to try to get people that want to complete all collections to spend more $.
How are the NMS people feeling right now about the lack of stubs in the game?
I thought it was pretty low for SDS to reference the dumbest conspiracy theory in sports in the title for the Altuve HR moment, and it looks like they changed it. I guess someone realized it was a dumb move in the first place
ACTUAL CONTENT!!!
I just got Trout yesterday and im only needing Vlad, Ohtani, Acuna, DeGrom, Turner, and Tatis now. But I’ve spent a TON of time flipping
I preordered the one of the digital editions on my PS5. I don’t really use my PS4 anymore, so I have it over at my girlfriend’s place so we can use it to stream things on her tv.
Does anyone know if I’ll be able to play the game on that system as well with my same diamond dynasty account? (Obviously after she goes to bed lol) As opposed to needing to bring my PS5 over there if I want to play the game.
We’re getting some pretty bad storms in the Chicago area today and when that happens my internet connection often goes out. If I gain team affinity points through MTO when disconnected from diamond dynasty does it still register when you reconnect?
Does anyone know if you’ll be able to use stage 1 affinity vouchers towards affinities past Friday? They do say Stage 1 on them...
I have all the NL central teams maxed at 70 except STL, which is at 66. I’m not sure if I want to go through a whole showdown if I can’t use 4 of the 5 vouchers..
