So why you just don't wait couple of days until all casual players are in the game?
Of course now RS mode is full of streamers, big money spenders and so on... I'm about average online player and I'm not touching online until next week, when I have my team prepared

And let us save our lineup, please

Just opinion from average player... I'm about 50% winning in RS and I will never play about 80 games in a month and I think I'm now speaking for majority of average players like me

I agree with all of this. I am also in the group that believes that Diamond players should be extremely difficult to get. It would expand the life of the game. 99 kluber day one is silly. Same with 99 kershaw last year. I feel like 99 diamonds should be extremely rare.

And I could not agree less. If you want extremely rare 99 cards, go play Fifa, you will never have one there.
I love how friendly Diamond Dynasty is and I hope it will never change into so big money cash grab as EA's games.
True end game cards came when, two or three months ago? I think it's good timing, because you have a lot of time to enjoy them.
And if you have one 99 pitcher early, it doesn't matter so much now, cause you can't use him every game with that new energy system.

I'm pretty happy how affordable big cards are in DD

It would be so much better

I grinded a lot for 30 TA, 20 standard, 6 BIA and and 2 Headliners packs. First I packed Karinchak, nothing exciting but diamond is diamond, second diamond was Yelich, much better pull, but after that I pulled my first ever Headliner Salmon.
But from one of the BIA packs I packed my first ever Mike Trout . I couldn't believe it, when I saw these green lights. I'm not gonna sell him, I will use him for a very long time

I agree, sometimes I turn volume up, some songs are really nice

I really miss Solo Battlees in DD. Because except of Conquest, there is nothing where you can use your team offline.
When you complete Conquest once, there is no point in playing it for second time. In Solo Battles you could get rewards weekly based on your skill and difficulty on what you played those games

Fix the 42 series packs where people are allowed to choose duplicates of the cards. They are not sellable or exchangeable. Sometimes you open the pack and they all say "new" even though you own some of the cards and they don't say "1x." There is no way to get 99 Jackie if you have duplicates of one of those cards. At the very least please automatically unlock every 42 pack card 9nce tall team affinities are at 100% sp at least we can get 99 jackie.

You can’t fix stupid

What an arrogant comment. He said clearly that sometimes these card options are bugged and it says "New", even when it's not true and you already have this card.
It happened to lot of people

You can use DD Cards to play CPU Offline 9 inning games.

Playing conquest is more than just the hidden rewards 1 time only.

Some like it b/c it is only 3 inning games. You can also use conquest as a tool for daily missions. 15 inning with dodgers players for instance._ put players from dodgers play 1 game and you have daily reward.

Or you can stack you team with specific player to work towards team affinity. The whole time earning xp and program points as well.

It is a strategy mode like Risk, which is one of the reasons why i would like to see dif starting points on US map.

Yes, of course, you can play vs cpu games, you can gain progress in TA, but what is the reward for this vs cpu game? It's 15 stubs, some xp and 1 card (bronze mainly). These rewards are ridiculous. In Solo Battles you can do everything you suggested, but you would be rewarded much better after one week of playing.

And how many Conquest maps we get in one inning? It's usually one, sometimes two and after that there is nothing. Maybe if SDS would do TA Conquests repeateble, there would be some point doing them twice.

All I'm asking is more offline content, where you can use your team and it would have some meaning. I like playing online, but I'm not in the right mood to play online every day

No no no, I don’t need someone screaming in my ear or telling me that I suck, I have COD for that

Absoulutely this. I vote for a big NO

It could be because your rating is maybe too low, if you played only two games so far. There is not so much players under rating 200 in this stage of the game

When you let the searching bar go, you can matchup with much lower or much higher opponent than you are. I always hold it, cause there is no risk in matching much more skilled player, but finding the game could take more time.
That coach icon was in some previous program path

Any decent packs you can get from playing it?

I'm at exactly 648,900 in XP.

I don't need the XP boost from completing it.

Heck, If I get one more K with a Gold SP in an online game, or even play 3 inn Conquest game; I'll hit 650K.

Just wondering if I want to play this or concentrate on some Moments to get the TN and MA vouchers towards Griffey.

Heck I still need to do the Shark Map and I still need to do some Moments or the FOD Showdown to get to 100pts for that.

Do the map, since it expires next week. Everything else you mentioned is permanent.

Even if I'm at 650K?

The time involved in beating 8 teams and simulating everything isn't worth it. You could spend far less time in the market, and earn the same amount of stubs. The only other reason than stubs to do this map is xp, and you don't need it.

I'm gonna play new map and I don't need xp or stubs. I'm happy we have something new to play offline, except of boring vs cpu or extra innings games. It' nice relax from RS grind for Trout

8:4. I would like to play more RS, but it's too stressful. I'm sweating and my hands are shaking even when I'm winning. I don't know why, but it is what it is

Squad Battles would be very nice addition in next year of The Show. It would be something else to grind for offline players

So I quicksold just low golds and sold all high golds and diamonds and I could afford to buy Wagner and Gossage.
Now I'm thinking about Gagne to complete my bullpen or some nice SP like Arrieta or Kluber. This TA5 was a blessing

@foresticek_psn said in What to do with gold and diamond leftovers?:

I finished all exchanges in TA5 and I have a lot of golds and low diamonds, which have just quicksell value. What to do with them? Quicksell them all, or is there some possibility we will have some other exchanges?

Sell….if there was a small margin (min +100) on a card, I posted for sale. I’ve got 5mm currently, but it’s just the principle of making a little money that kept me from QS all duplicates.

Probably got +300,000 from just golds over the weekend. Took that and bought all the finest stuff from packs, just to satisfy the completionist in me.

I know, selling would be better option, but I have so many of them, it would take whole day just to list them, I'm too lazy for this .
And I still have almost 100 BIAH unopened packs, so another 100 at least golds

I think that universal pitch speed are not there because it would be
A. Too fast for offline players or
B. Too slow for online players

SDS would be risking losing a lot of players from both groups. But for players like me who plays both (but mainly offline) this is a big problem.
I would be all for having at least two practice modes, one with online pitch speeds and one with offline speeds
