I think WAS is 80 Veteran Jeimer Candelario (2023)

"Jedi" Ondrej Satoria. C'mon SDS... make it happen.

8.1 IP, 7 H, 6K, no Earned Runs (and a great showing against Japan).

Let us not forget Satoria facing Ohtani in 2023:

I just powered through and got my last WS for the year on saturday, now i'm just doing some events and BR for pure entertainment.

I'm doing the exact same thing.

P.S. Ummm... except the WS thing.

SDS can slow down the power creep after I get my Luis Arraez WBC/Moonshot card with 125 vision and 125 power.

I think they still use 3 year weighted scale to get the initial ratings and then adjust from there.

That's what I've heard. That said, I'm unsure how Trout still gets a diamond. I know he's a hugely popular player, but his past 3 years are pretty rough. I thought 2026 might be the year he started as a gold. If he continues to fall off this year, I'm curious to see if SDS actually lowers him to an 84.

Maybe they use a 15 year weighted scale for him

To @thebigpapa55_psn 's point about Bo Bichette, if you look at the last 3 years according to Baseball Reference:

War: Bo - 8.0 (lost half of 2024 due to injury)
Mike - 5.5 (lost half of 2023 and most of 2024 due to injury)

OPS+: Bo - 114
Mike - 127

If we ever lose Honus Wagner, my heart will break into a million pieces.

SDS hasn't mentioned anywhere if the Quicksell values have been lowered for 26, have they? I thought I saw a screenshot of an LS high-diamond somewhere with a quicksell of 8,500, but I could be wrong.

SDS should go Full Troll:

This is a great list. I'd add Matt Holliday to the A's. Oh, wait...

Sorry @dolenz_psn . Too soon?

@Teak2112_MLBTS said:

Kluber and Thome are the Indians. 88s

Were Jolts 85's last year? I forget.

@LHUBison58_XBL said:

because I am now 0/7 on Santana in the DQ.

Ooofff. That's rough...

@GoozeFn_PSN said:

Again, doubt he’s more than the NL reward.

I'm sure he's the Cardinals LS collection reward.

A boy can dream, right @dolenz_psn ?

@Teak2112_MLBTS said:

And for 2025 I pulled Ohtani in February, bought Judge to finish the collection, and then pulled Judge two days later...

@Dolenz_PSN said:

I don't think in all of my years playing that I have ever pulled the most expensive live series card from a pack.

Last year, I pulled Ohtani on 3/20 and sold him immediately for 348,000. I should have waited...

@virusts_PSN said:

A couple months usually and I don’t flip. I don’t want to spend my time playing the game doing that.

I think last year I was later in June, and I didn't flip for the first time since I started DD in 2020.

In the "Fielding Feedback: Diamond Dynasty", @teak2112_mlbts posited "I imagine way less than 50% of people get these cards in the first half of the year".

I'm guessing he's right for the entire user base. For you folks that regularly post here in the forums...

1. Do you typically complete the LS collection during the game cycle?
2. On average, when you do you complete it?

For me, yes and on average by end of May / mid June.

P.S. Yes, I said "posited", not "posted". If you don't already know, my IQ is extremely high.

I (and I'm sure @dolenz_psn ) was thrilled to see Matt Carpenter as a new Legend. I LOVE HIS CARDS.

@SaveFarris_PSN said:

But good news: SDS later spoils how you get Pujols in a later screen.

And... they own 3 Signature Pujols cards. So, we can do the LS collection 3 times

@Dolenz_PSN said:

can no longer pull any data from the APIs giving me a lot of 403-forbidden errors.

Which API in particular? I'm still playing around with them via Excel/Power Query, and mine still update.

I cut the cord last year and went "internet only". I don't have an ESPN subscription, but was looking at doing MLB.TV. It requires setting up an ESPN subscription, which is free for one month, then you can cancel.

Anyone else have this situation? Thank you...

this old man from the Midwest doesn't know who 95% (or more) of these artists are.

This old man from New England thought "oh, I'll know more of these than the old man from the Midwest".

Nope. Ooffff.
