I do want a sense of how reasonable this really is for people who do it the more natural way and see if Im off base in my thinking and have to eat Pete Crow

I do enjoy your "takes" on the Forum. This particular one? I thought you might be over-estimating how "easy" it would be, but I appreciate you taking the time to try this out. Let us know your thoughts.

Me? I just opened 5 Jumbos packs (no diamonds). Also, 120 packs from completing the Multiplayer program plus a bunch of TA 15/20 packs and... one LS diamond (not Glasnow).

Pretty sure if the cpu teams are attacking your stronghold you have the choice of playing or simulating.

I thought if your stronghold is being attacked, you either have to play or give up the stronghold. I can't remember.

@sbchamps17_NSW said:

I'm pretty sure that you could never simulate a stronghold in conquest

I've played DD since 2020 and this isn't a "thing".

The final reward is Yanamoto

Interesting choice... I'm guessing not a "Forum Favorite".

EDIT... I need to read before I post. I thought this was going to be a "collection" reward. Never mind...

My biggest gripe with this concept? The strange conversion rates. 75,926 for a 90? 44,363 for an 88? Why not make these even numbers, maybe in increments of 5,000. I like math, but it's a pain to figure out the most efficient way to complete a collection. For Woods after exchanging 8 Glasnow's, you have 36,728 points remaining. An 87 is worth 34,130. Two 85's are 40,884.

I know - just "over exchange". Stubs are plentiful. I get that argument. It's just weird.

Since I’ve won approximately 2 or 3 games ever on Legend, this could take the rest of my natural life so that one is going on the back burner. 1,031 TB and I presently have a little less than 300 so 750 more is gonna take a bit.

The TB one is tough. I don't have the time to grind for that one. I typically play on All-Star, but have won games on Legend offline. I'd try that and see what you think (especially if they're 3-inning games).

If you haven't noticed, the Spooky Miniseason gives you 5 Jumbo packs once you get 31 strikeouts with relievers. Just thought I'd throw that out there now that we have the LS Diamond exchanges to do for Finest cards.

Happy Glasnow hunting....

Update... I just opened my 5 Jumbos, and... nothing. So... never mind.

Update 2... I just opened my 50 pack from the Multiplayer path and... nothing again. Oddly, I got a Signature Leiter from the Chase 32 pack. I'll just exchange him for 100,000 Spooky points

@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN said:

No. But you can swap them for the Finest pack.

Where is that? I can't find it.

@virusts_PSN said:

I’ll need to finally open all those deluxe packs have like 100 or so cards

Only LS cards are exchangeable...

@Pergo_MLBTS said:

Interesting, I wonder how this is going to work.

Not great. Like @sbchamps17_nsw says, you basically have to buy a bunch of LS diamonds to exchange them for a card.

Of course, all the prices are spiking for these. Based upon my simple math, here's what it would cost to do one exchange if you can buy the cards at QS (for the 500,000 stub James Woods)

91's - 40,000
90 - 49,390
89 - 60,439
88 - 61,989
87 - 65,924
86 - 71,122
85 - 73,378

For Brice at 400,000:

91's - 32,000
90 - 39,512
89 - 48,352
88 - 49,591
87 - 52,740
86 - 56,898
85 - 58,703

Yandy is 300,000 and Messick is 200,000. So... less.

Someone check my math in case I'm off. Too bad I QS the 57 Glasnow's I've gotten from Vault packs.

Does it make that noise when he hits the ball square this year?

YES!

@Dolenz_PSN said:

There are plenty of opportunities to mix things up. You could run an all gold team against a conquest map and be successful just like we all were at the beginning of the year.

When the "quiet" time starts in December/January, I typically load up all LS players for a single team and work my way through the USA Conquest map (hoping we get that again). Last year, when the LS Pirates were pretty bad, I'd feel pretty good about myself when Nick Gonzales would hit a HR.

This is my least favorite time of year. I like from launch until the All Star break.

I'd have to go back and look. I think Cityscapes offer a standard 20 pack. Most other maps offer a Deluxe of some sort.

@PapaRick68_MLBTS said:

Hi, newbie question. On the Repeatable Conquests map say, the Shark Map, what can you do and what rewards can you win? Thanks

For "Repeatable" maps, typically the only reward available to you is the "last" one upon completing the map.

I thought you guys might have been exaggerating, but... Wow...

Sloooooowwwwwwwww

@socom920_MLBTS said:

Anyone get Tyler Glasgow???

GLASGOW is what he prefers to be called.

@SaveFarris_PSN said:

Finally getting to use those Deluxe and Premier packs I've been collecting.

I've been selling all mine for 5,000 stubs apiece like an idiot.

Brian Roberts - Lordy, they juiced him.

I love Brian's cards every year since I started DD in 2020.
