@dbrooks1869_XBL Well, all we can do is look at the other collections to make an educated guess. Otherwise its just a random [censored] guess...

2025 HRD and 2025 HRDX...different collections
2025 HRD and 2025 ASG...different collections
2025 ASG and past AS...different collections
Pipeline and Pipeline Past...different collections

In the past versions of the game, Postseason and XXXX Postseason cards were different collections...

So, I think it is a pretty safe bet that Postseason, 2025 Postseason, and Postseason Past will be three different collections.

@Tandil1368_XBL said in What happened over weekend?:

Ever since Saturday night I have not been able to feel anything...

They do say you should see a doctor after 4 hours!

Getting these balls hit between the first and second base...

Ouch! That usually means she doesn't want you to go any further! She probably gave you other hints that she probably didn't want you to go to second base! That is why she is probably hitting you in the balls when you get between first base and second base. You should pay attention to the subtle hints.

It’s kind of a pain in the [censored]...

Well, that's usually a one-way street and it will be painful if you try going the wrong way.

@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN Mr. Smile is Francisco Lindor the other is a former Astro that is now on the Red Sox.

@samguenther1987_PSN I guess these windups are for when I am enjoying an adult beverage where I get time to take a swig in between each pitch? And be through with a whole drink before the end of the half inning.

@Teak2112_MLBTS Now you tell me! That probably would have been easier!

This is a bit of an annoying Moment for me. First, the time of day for the first AB has the shadow between hitter and pitcher (and with a 2x Hit Moment, I restart if I don't get a hit in that first AB). Second, it's against Carrot Top who stands there for a few seconds, pops a squat, then goes back and stands in the set position for a few more seconds before he starts his windup.

I got double diamonds in my pack...let's see...double purple...LS Mr Smile and a cheater now in Boston. But over 6.5K of stubs in the pack was better than expected.

@LHUBison58_XBL LOL. So we can type the plural form, but not the singular form of Mr. Allen!

Thanks! I picked up my pack!

You explained yourself well and I would not say you used childlike vocabulary (which there would be plenty of examples throughout this forum). Unfortunately for you, I don't think you are going to get excited by much of the future rewards/cards for the rest of the year. It sounds like you have done well in building a squad that you enjoy and fit your style of play. It sounds like you have hit your endgame goals for your team within Diamond Dynasty. I think that it is a good thing that you have reached your goal, but unfortunately I don't think there will be much left to this game that will interest you. The big thing about Diamond Dynasty at this point is to wait for next year and start all over again.

Might as well add a 99 Eddie Gaedel because there would probably be one person somewhere in this world who would like to play a 99 version of him! Maybe recreate his one PA. Maybe get him an actual AB. Heck, maybe even a HR with him.

This post must be a cat. It died twice and is now on its third life. I find it funny one person took almost 5 months to fire off a "comeback" remark.

Once you are maxed out nothing more to do with them, and no giving them to anyone else or to any of your other ballplayers.

Did you look at all three? You probably got the 520 for the PIT Pitchers, 510 for the PIT Hitters, and the full 1000 for the PIT Bosses.

Definitely more tinfoil used than normal here...

@sbchamps17_NSW That sucks! Hope you get well soon!

@Dolenz_PSN I enjoy crunching numbers which is why my masters degree is a Masters of Science in Business Analytics. I don't think we can come up with a perfect formula since cards play different and hard to assign numbers for stance, swing, and pitch delivery. Definitely would just have to play around with the formula until you are happy with it and fits your style the best. I find this interesting and how other people like to come up with formulas. I just happened to have each of those with nearly the same amount of PAs and thought that would be another interesting way to compare them. To get a truly good feel for them, I would need a bigger sample size. Like I said, I think this was fun to compare.

@Dolenz_PSN Yeah, I think my second list is much better. McGonigle is nice, but is not the best card. Gehrig is the best and Bryan Reynolds is higher than what I had him at. My stats came from a small sample size, but I am not good with Berkman's swing so that dropped him all the way to the bottom of my list, but his card isn't the worst. So, I do think this second list does a better job in representing where the cards lie in my opinion.

I took both my PXP/PA scores and Dolenz's Meta scores, normalized them (scale from 0 to 1), then averaged the two scores. I think this produced a better list...

@Dolenz_PSN I did steal bases with him (2) and others with higher speed attributes. There is PXP awarded for steals (10 for offline Rookie) and it also helped in getting into scoring position and with some additional runs scored (PXP awarded for runs as well) and stay out of DPs. I don't remember the times for those particular SBs to see if created a run that wouldn't have been scored without stealing those bases.

Definitely can't get PXP for defense, so that is something to consider. Also, people will probably hit differently with some players than I do as well.

Back to defense, I average probably around 25 Ks per 9 IPs offline, so I guess I don't necessarily need to worry about defensive attributes when I play offline modes! And most runs I give up are solo shots. "Three True Outcomes" is in effect when I pitch!

There are some surprises as to where some of the people fell on my list. I would have thought Bryan Reynolds would have been higher, but for the most part, my list is pretty much how I felt they had performed in gameplay (offensively).
