Are these the new "legends" or new diamonds?

Hampton is the new legend

@splder2-ybanana_xbl said in First Inning Showdown progression slashed compared to last year:

I dont understand the madness over this. Theres still two weeks left in the program. Plenty of time to get the boss. The new system is totally fair.

The boss cards are already so low that after this weekend can all be had for for likely less then 30k each

Pulled the rare round and hovered over that Hamilton card but felt so dirty inside thinking about using it on all those new xbox players. It's just not fair

@gixxerryder750 said in Turn off online only stat missions:

Are you sure you're playing 21? Offline and Online stat missions are both offered for everything.

@hoboadam_psn said in Turn off online only stat missions:

Online provides 1.5 xp and stat progress for parallel progress.

Offline players get equal stuff only by playing on legend.

Not sure what your beef is here.

First inning tasks, there are 5 stat grinds with 42 players that are online only. I don't care about parallels. I am looking to accomplish "missions".

Have you seen the 120 mission included in TA programs? Have you see the offline mission for Giambi.

There is more then enough mission to complete offline

Adjusting to change is hard but that's life. The new system makes way more sense. It was never going to be a 1 to 1 change that said I didn't get the XP to Stars conversion chart with my pre order so I may have no idea what I'm talking about

Alright let's discuss who we think it will be

Also before I start I'll save everyone some time..

SERVERS BLAH BLAH BLAH SERVERS BLAH BLAH BLAH.

OK now that's out of the way

My Top 3 guesses based on it being a choice pack debut I'm not thing huge name here

1. Carl Crawford - Really the only Rays legend
2. Vernon Wells
3. Ryan Howard
   Um, Longoria is a legend. His Rookie card is starting to percolate like his Awards card for me last season!

Longoria is still an active MLB player making his Rookie card a flashback card.

Wade Boggs and Fred McGriff are giving you some side eye.

Sorry should have been more clear they only legend left they could add

Oh okay sorry wasn't trying to be a [censored]. Just was like they got some decent ones.

Agreed it did sound like I was ignoring those legends when I read it back

Well cut yourself a bit a slack. No one in their right mind would associate Boggs with TB

That said the milestone cards could mean his 3000 hits club card would put him on the Rays if that's how he gets his best card this year

Let me know how that works out for you bud!

Harold Baines. It would be so SDS to label a lost legend as new

To be fair Shawn Green is back this year and they did not label him as a new legend that I have seen

A great player can now get double the rewards, these changes a big wins

@kotank1334_psn said in Welp... Ya can't take it with ya.:

Decided to sell off extra inventory and rip some packs. Bought 7 50 pack bundles. Just deicded to track the diamonds.

LS LeMahieu
LS Hader
FS Royce Lewis
LS Realmuto
LS Matt Chapman
LS Lindor

1 DJ Airhorn
7 Diamond name plates.

Anybody else selling off and buying packs? be interested to see pulls.

I sold off everything that wasn't nailed down and then bought packs

2.2 Million in packs is ALOT

@bigceddibiase said in Can you upgrade:

My friend bought the regular version and wanted to upgrade is that possible? Thanks in advance

To my knowledge there is not but he would still have time to contact Playstation to cancel the pre-order and order the special edition

@savefarris_psn said in DD Stream Teaser Tweet:

No skin off my nose.

I'll never go flawless, so I have a vested interest in seeing BR rewards become more affordable/attainable. But I can definitely appreciate the perspective of those that do accomplish the feat wanting to be handsomely rewarded for their efforts.

This is where I think a 2nd path that leads to a non sellable reward plays well. If you go flawless you get the option to sell the reward if you reach a win total you get one of the flawless rewards but it's random and you can't sell it so there is a chance you get a double up. I know there was an issue like that with the 18 Finest but I think this is a little different

I think new reward path is very interesting feels like overall win totals will play a factor.

Now one way to do it could be that we have the standard RS path where you rank up to WS and get the choice pack and you can keep or sell now lets say they add a total wins path but when you make the WS for wins you get the choice pack but it's NOT sellable. I can get behind that method

I would love some kind of stat going back if only it applied to TA that would be fine to grind stats for you favorite team. 18 went so far to the extreme that I think they had to clean the slate on Stat grinds. They added some back but it didn't work.

Now that said what if the Roman numerals is the return of My Career Stat going and there are 5 stages so stage 1 for HR is 100 stage 2 is 200 stage 3 400 and it just doubles till stage 5 to 1600 home runs for the year. That would be good in my books

I've always wanted to play MLB The Show and I look forward to finally being able to play it (Diamond Dynasty) tomorrow at midnight! As a brand new player who has never played before, but very used to playing 2k's MyTeam, what are the best things I should do right away?

My goal is to somehow get Tatis Jr. and Bauer on day 1, I don't know if that's possible without buying stubs?

Beyond that, in doing some research, is it accurate that I'd probably get the most bang for the buck on day 1 doing TA, Showdown, Conquest, and maybe a little market trading?

I'd love to hear your thoughts, there are so many things to do that it's very confusing about what to do first and I don't want to waste time or make mistakes right out of the gate.

Conquest is good for rewards but time consuming and boring. If you can win your showdowns imo that’s one of the best places to spend your time early on. With some luck you could get both tatis and bauer day one..but when heading into RS remember live series guys not named trout aren’t usually your best option

Thank you, appreciate it! I've never played so I'm not sure if I'd win Showdowns yet. It would suck to spend stubs on it and lose.

Maybe I should just go all out for Trout?

You’re not going to get Trout day one unless you are extremely lucky & pull him....Unless you spend $200-$300 on stubs & just buy him.

Last two years trout was hot in packs I pulled him both launch nights and one of them it was in the very first pack

This is not a real expectation to have for any player. It awesome that happen and I hope I have that kind of luck but being realistic if every player pulled Trout day 1 he would not be a 400k card

Tamper your own expectations, if you pull a diamond that's great but it's unlikely. The Show is all about the grind also what has worked in th past may not be applicable once we get to the 20th.

When early access happens this weekend there is going to be aloy of sharks in the water as this is the hard-core player base so they will be trying to take advantage of EVERYTHING they can which they should that's what early access is about. Use these 4 days to get use to DD and how it works then come the 20th and the flood gates open its going to cause chaos in the market now that we know it's 1 market.

The first event last year was "the show goes on" or something like that and the requirements we flashbacks legends and live series silver and below. I don't remember the team overall cap
