In December 2020 I was taken to the hospital with liver failure and respitory failure. I had my transplant on Christmas Eve and came out of my induced coma a day after Christmas. They lost me twice during the surgery. After the surgery I had a lot of difficulties. I had very little strength. I had tubes in my throat and other places, I had to learn to walk again. I didn't actually get out of John Hopkins Hospital until the end of February. That was 3 long,hard months during Covid protocol with no guests or family, I was depressed and hurting. When I finally got home in begining of March I had to rehabilitate at home and get my strength back. Not long after getting home this game was released. With not being able to work and get out of the house a lot this game was a blessing, Ive wanted to play the show for a long time but I'm an Xbox player so this was our first year playing it. I grew up playing baseball at a somewhat high level. I made all state as a kid and played college ball. I never was good enough to make the pros and I realized that in college, I might've been able to play minor league like a few of my friends but I focused on life outside of baseball. Back to this game though. It really helped me ease my mind from all the stress I had been going through. It also helped me get my hand eye coordination and memory a bit sharper than it was, I know a lot of people are frustrated with this game but honestly I can't complain. This game has been a blessing for me. On a brighter note, I've come a long way, I'm back to walking like normal and feeling mostly healthy. So Im thankful to have a game I actually enjoy and can relax and play. Finding things you enjoy in life are important. Not everything in life is rainbows and butterflies. "Life is like a finger pointing towards wthe sky, if you concentrate on the finger you'll miss the sky's heavenly glory" - Bruce Lee.

I just want to say Happy holidays to everyone and I hope 2022 will bless you with a good flow to your life. Wishing you and your families good health and happiness.

Everytime I try to do today's daily moment it's says I must have 8 Relief pitcher. Please adjust lineup. Is anyone else having this problem?

I personally think Byron Buxton was the best POTM this year. Schwarber and Simien we’re good too but they’ve been replaced in my lineup. Jackie is way better than Simien. Schwarber was a great hitter but all star J.T. Realmuto is so good. He throws out everyone and has incredible speed for a catcher. Not to mention I have 39 home runs with JT already.

What’s your thoughts? Is Byron still in your lineup? What about the other POTM cards?

I met Brooks Robinson numerous times when I bartended in Baltimore, I was kinda star struck when I met him TBH. I asked him quietly if he was Brooks Robinson because I didn't want people to crowd him while he was enjoying his lunch. This man was the nicest,most humble person Ive ever met in my life, He would talk about the new players and say how good they were. Saying he could never play in today's game and never Pat himself on the back. Meanwhile he's one of the greatest Third baseman to ever Grace the field. I have so much respect for this man. What a guy,

This new card art style is the best Ive ever seen, The design and color scheme is perfect.

Dee Gorgon hitting a lead off home run in Fernandez tribute to his passing. It was his first home run of the year and he said after it was a sign of Fernandez watching over him.

Also I know this has nothing to do with Diamond Dynasty but we’re all baseball fans here,right? Also Dee Gordon is awesome in the game too.

I just want to wish everyone a Happy New Year! I hope 2022 brings you good health,happiness and and prosperity.

I’m not interested in this Votto card one bit so I guess I’ll be selling those Topps Now cards and the 42 series card too. I’m always looking forward to a POTM card but when you have 25 speed and average defense it’s basically a home run or nothing. You might get lucky and have a ball ricochet of the wall and get a double or triple but this card isn’t even worth it in my opinion. I’m sure somebody will absolutely love this card but I don’t see how anyone could take him over the other beastly first baseman cards.

Is this card a huge L or am I bugging?

I tried to run an all non-circumcised team.

Let me guess? They didn't make the cut?

Al Lester last year was really good. We will see how he is being the base round this time.

Much better than a Mo Lester card

Lol autocorrect did me dirty. I put Leiter but it changed it to Lester.

Al Lester last year was really good. We will see how he is being the base round this time.

It would be nice to see a card for Halladay. R.I.P. Roy

I have Ketel batting lead off and playing second base. He plays just like collection awards Mookie last year just less power. He’s easily a top 5 player in the game right now imo.

I picked Mauer to start the game but he’s not even on the bench now. Switch hitting Panda is behind the plate and I’m surprised by how much power he has compared to his attributes. But hey I’m a Giants fan he will always make my team somewhere. His 97 Daily last year was quickly turned into a P5 99 bomber

Pandas swing is so good and he’s a switch hitter. Kinda like a step down from Posada but still really good.

LOL not really a step down from Posada if Panda runs faster. Some years Posada is good for me other years not and I don't know why. Panda always hits for me. Plus he was on the Giants

You got a point. Panda is faster. Posada has always been clutch for me. Last year Panda shocked me how good his daily moments card was. This year isn’t as OP but still a good card,

Surprises

Taylor Ward has been insane for me. Started off slow but now he’s great.
Ketel Marte isn’t really a surprise but he’s got the highest average on my team.
Live series Devers really surprised me. I hit better with him than his FOTF.

Let downs.

Luis Robert. I don’t hit well with him for some reason. My swing always seems to be late with him. Probably user error,
Kirk Gibson I thought was going to be one of my best hitters. That hasn’t been the case yet,

I’m trying to figure out the best path to get the conquest done in the 13 moves. Any tips?

Why do you have to do it in 13 moved?

To get the xp points towards the program. 30k

Oh. I never even noticed you had to do it in 13 turns or less.

I did it without realizing. Lol

Lol

I pulled Trout from a BIAH pack I earned from the Monthly Awards program!! Woooo!

I forgot the last time this happened, if it ever happened from a pack that wasn’t a choice pack before... I bought him with NMS stubs last year...

I’m ecstatic. Just had to share and celebrate!

Awesome! Congrats
