@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN it depends how your LS collection is doing; as we go the missions will be less and less useful. I do them for collections once (or twice if a reward doesn’t it the first time) because the return in stubs isn’t that good for the effort.

That's what I'm thinking. I've been playing mainly BR/Events to get finished with the Multiplayer Program.

I still have EVERY Comquest map to complete. So I think the time spent would he better in Conquest than in DQ.

Same thing with MS.

Heck, MTO may even gave better rewards.

None of those are repeatable. Once you’ve exhausted the conquest. MS, and MTO rewards, DQ small that remains. And yes, the rewards are worth it because they’re repeatable.

Disagree with OP, but also disagree this is better than ‘23.

Will die on this hill: ‘23 was my favorite MLB the Show.

I’ve wanted to do this for like 8 years. I’ve seen others do it, and I’ve been close (like 24 or so Ks), but this is my first time.

Breakout Triston McKenzie is awesome against the CPU. Probably not online lol. Only three pitches, and no velocity, but [censored] can he dot the corners.

@TripleH-4481_PSN said in Lack of Diamonds in Show packs:

It’s really strange so many players are going thru something similar.

It’s not “so many players”, it’s that the players who feel like there’s a conspiracy in the packs are the loudest. Generally, you don’t see posts like “Diamond luck is crazy good!” or anything like that. It’s always “Why do packs suck so bad?!”.

I spend no money on the game outside of the initial early access price. I refuse to buy stubs, and I refuse to buy packs with stubs I’ve earned. I am very content with the diamonds I’ve pulled. I had better results last year (pulled two Ohtani’s first weekend last year), but nothing this year has screamed “SDS is just a money making greedy corporation!!!” (I mean… they are, but what company isn’t?).

Everyone just needs to realize that odds are what they are, and for every person that’s pulling no diamonds, someone else is pulling three trouts, two Ohtanis, and a JRam. They just don’t post about it.

@Finn_Scotus_MLBTS as far as my fictional MLB the Show world is concerned, the Twins only host games at night in October.

No issues on a PS5 here, either. Maybe you need to reinstall. It’s pretty painless, and you don’t lose any progress/items.

Low key hot take: that common Vida is nasty against the CPU. I may be using him more often if trying to work towards the actual
completion of that program.

@SchnauzerFace_MLBTS oooh I see. Yeah, sorry for calling them out! To be fair, in the game, they actually are a laughing stock. I hope for your sake, they continue to excel, and the next roster update gives them
Some rating boosts!

For my sake, I hope they never change…

Any team. The real question is this: what team is it the easiest to get on base against. That answer is easy. The White Sox. Always.

Best starting pitcher ERA in baseball. Fewest runs allowed in baseball.

Shaboom!

Huh?

This is both the dumbest and most hilarious program we could’ve asked for! I’m all for it!

@TripleH-4481_PSN you literally get a free standard pack every time you win a 3-inning stadium game…

There is no greater payoff rate than that. You don’t have to play any of the challenges to do this. I wrote an entire thread about how you can use diamond quest to slow grind the game, while still getting BIAH and standard picks regularly.

@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN yes! So choose wisely!

@RealMessiah_XBL yeah, that’s be nice too!

I guess I’m surprised at people selling their live series diamonds right now. They’re gonna be the best cards in the game for a while with this year’s iteration of power creep. Or am I missing something?

For example, I’ve had decent pack luck (nowhere near a good as I had last year... 2 Ohtani cards over the first weekend!). May favorite two cards to hit with right now are LS Alvarez and Seager. I’m loving pitching with Skubal and Skenes. And leading off with De La Cruz is broken. Plus a slew of other lower LS cards. Why sell them? What other cards are possibly worth it?

Repeat after me: “Packs, no matter which kind, are never worth it. Unless they’re free.”

No matter how tempting… never buy packs.

@KingD234443_XBL they don’t know what that means, is what I mean. They see the message and either ignore it, or don’t understand it, or don’t care.

Hearing you’re getting taxed 10% doesn’t mean anything to anyone. They just I know they’re getting money.

Also, I teach middle school. If it’s any 10-14 year old, they probably aren’t reading a pop up… it’s annoying as [censored].

It has nothing to do with bad math. It’s lacking knowledge to how the market works and the tax system. You never get taxed on quick sell, so honestly, you should never put anything on the market that is 11% or less more than the quick sell value (since that value taxed at 10% would be less than quick sell).

I just don’t think people know.

You don’t have to face any particular starting pitcher. You can see who their pitchers are, and in what order, if you scroll down instead of playing the game. Find the pitcher you want to play against, and make sure you select that spot in your rotation to start also.

@yankblan_PSN said in How to grind using Diamond Quest:

Forfeiting docks you percentage points so it’s not a great strategy IMO, especially for BIAH packs that aren’t even guaranteed.

Agreed. However, the point of this strategy isn’t BIAH packs. It’s plying as many games as possible to grind PxP and get standards. The BIAH packs and the epic cards are just the icing on the cake. We’re trying to recreate some of the repeatable Conquest map rewards from last year. So, efficiency and packs are the goal. Getting four or five standard packs every hour is even better than last year’s repeatable conquests.

Now, that said, I actually do the challenges/moments, but always skip the showdowns. I usually enter the stadiums with a 20-30% chance for a BIAH pack. I’ll take those odds!
