Dodgers are interesting
Sandy Koufax
Jackie Robinson
Clayton Kershaw
Tommy Lasorda (if managers count)
I think Fernando Valenzuela, Duke Snider, and Don Newcombe are also good options.
Edit:
If non players count then Vin Scully needs to be somewhere.
I would love to say Rizzo but Hand is a good pickup

@the_dragon1912 said in My thoughts on collection:
I’m not sure this collection will be fully capable of being completed right when it launches on the 28th. As of now, there are
38 allstar
26 awards
34 breakout
60 FOTF
40-45ish future stars
13 home run derby
8 players league
22 postseason
34 rookie
33 veteran
27 prime
29 prospects
And 15 sig series cards available. Even if they pull from each one of these collections(I don’t think they use players league, prospects, or HRD tbh), it really doesn’t seem like a lot of cards compared to last year, especially in the sig series department. Im guessing they might make whoever the reward is unattainable until more cards are released, but I really hope I am wrong
I hope they drop a lot of cards within the next week, but I agree, I just don't know how they do it.
@Rbase_96 said in 'Lost' Legends:
We've gotten a lot of new players in the game this year, especially from the 90's and 00's. It is clear that SDS prioritized this time period. A consequence is that there seem to be legends from earlier time periods that are no longer in the game (and were in 2019). Here is a list of legends that were in the game last year but have not been seen this year:
SP Whitey Ford
SP Bert Blyleven
C Benito Santiago
3B Tony Perez
LF Monte Irvin
CF Richie Ashburn
CF Lary Doby
RF Shawn Green
RF Enos SlaughterThere are also some more recent guys like Travis Hafner and Aaron Hill that had signature cards last year and don't have any cards in this year's game yet. I really hope we will still see some of these guys in the game. Especially Blyleven and Doby were good for me last year
And Steve Garvey
@simpin_leo said in Collecting for Didi:
I had just bough ten Jason Giambi and it says that I can’t collect him for first basemen’s. Am i doing anything wrong?
You can collect one of each card, so if you're trying to collect 10 if the same Giambi cards, then you will only be able to collect one.
@cosmicwonders_ said in Tips for coming back:
start with monthly awards program
95 Didi
96 Correa
98 Bellinger
Agree with this. These guys all have great swings.
Any legend dropped I like, but I do want more relievers (especially lefties) and I hope they get all time greats from Tris Speaker to Hank Greenberg to Sandy Koufax to Randy Johnson to Derek Jeter. My top legend I want to see is Sandy Koufax.
@mrKoala123 said in Any ideas on rules for next event:
Prime and Sig is a good event I’d say outside of filling 1B and SS but what are we thinking for this event. 3 innings? 6? Quick counts? Can we use prime and sig pitchers as well
I believe 99 Jackie can play 1B
@JWKEEP_ said in Event total:
Finished the 200 wins only to get the base round of ducks on the pond. Was hoping for a bit more 100 wins in a week took a bit of time.
I also got the base round. But I prestiged a ton of cards (including Mantle) and made substantial progress with Biggio, Sheffield, and others.
@mwolve87 said in Shortstop for the next Event:
If the next event is Signature and Prime players, who will be eligible to play Shortstop (at least as a secondary position)?
I think you can put Ryne at SS with bronze defense. Don't mark my words.
@j9milz said in SDS please take friendly quit out . ITS SOFT:
I ain't gonna lie, Im kinda of tired of it, between constantly getting them and people constantly trying to cheese friendly quit(running pause timer down) it does get annoying. On top of that seems like when I don't accept friendlies I have some of the worst/ weirdest games.
They should make it so you can't offer a friendly after your timer runs below 10 or 15 seconds.
@BodamEscapePlan said in SDS needs to prioritize getting the rights to more pitching legends:
In recent years, SDS has brought so many legends to The Show for us to use in Diamond Dynasty. It wasn't long ago that our pool of legends was limited to only a few per team. Now? Almost every team has a good number of legends.
The Show 17 brought us Ken Griffey Jr., Roberto Alomar, Wade Boggs, Jorge Posada, and Jason Giambi among others.
The Show 18 gave us Babe Ruth, Frank Thomas, Mike Piazza, Bob Gibson, Vladimir Guerrero, and Roy Oswalt among a lot more. In fact, I think The Show 18 might have been our biggest jump from year-to-year.
... and of course The Show 19 continued the trend and brought out the big guns with Willie Mays, Rickey Henderson, Ivan Rodriguez, Ty Cobb, Lou Gehrig, Cy Young, and Walter Johnson.
With all those legends added, the game has evolved into a baseball fan's dream, especially in Diamond Dynasty where they've found a good balance of time spent and rewarding the player without the feeling that you need to spend money like so many other Ultimate Team card collecting modes. It made a ton of sense for them to target the bats before the arms but I think the next few years should be spent focusing on getting the big name pitching legends that we've been asking for.
It's true that they've added more than a few of baseball history's best hurlers but I still think that the selection of pitching legends is far too small. Obviously they took a huge step the last two years in acquiring rights to some great legends and I'm glad they got the rights to Mark Buehrle, Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, John Smoltz, Robin Roberts, and Al Leiter this year; while last year we got Kerry Wood, Mark Prior, Christy Mathewson, Walter Johnson, Cy Young, and A.J. Burnett. There's no denying that the selection we have already is impressive but imagine a game with all the legends we have now, plus big names like:
- Pedro Martinez
- Randy Johnson
- Dwight Gooden
- Tim Lincecum
- Roy Halladay
- Barry Zito
- Mike Mussina
- Sandy Koufax
- Roger Clemens
- Curt Schilling
- Steve Carlton
Yeah, a few of those guys are unlikely (Clemens and Schilling specifically) but to match the legendary bats of Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, Ty Cobb, Ted Williams, Babe Ruth, Ken Griffey Jr., Cal Ripken Jr., and Lou Gehrig, we need the best pitchers the world has ever seen to match. Just adding a few of these legends like Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, and Roger Clemens would go so far and further the notion that MLB The Show offers the best Ultimate Team experience of any sports game.
It's exciting to think about the ridiculous matchups we could have and likely will have in the coming years. I could go on for hours talking about players I'd love to see return to or make their debut in The Show. I'm certain the team at Sony San Diego Studios shares this belief and are working on getting a large number of these guys into the game. Even beyond the household names they could build on those by adding other popular pitching legends like:
- Carlos Zambrano
- Tim Hudson
- Johan Santana
- David Cone
- Andy Pettitte
- Hoyt Wilhelm
- Brandon Webb
- Gaylord Perry (re-acquire his rights)
- Chuck Finley
- Josh Beckett
- David Wells
- Chris Carpenter
- Tim Wakefield
- Frank Viola
- Kevin Brown
- Javier Vazquez
- Dennis Martinez
- Bobby Thigpen
- Armando Benitez
- Jose Mesa
- Freddy Garcia
- Jon Matlack
- Brad Radke
- Dontrelle Willis
- Jim Bunning
- Hideo Nomo
- Jamie Moyer
- Don Drysdale
- Kyle Farnsworth
... and guys that recently retired like:
- C.C. Sabathia
- R.A. Dickey
- John Lackey
- Matt Harvey
- Bronson Arroyo
- C.J. Wilson
- Jonathan Papelbon
- Francisco Rodriguez
- Joe Nathan
- Ryan Dempster
- Dan Haren
- Matt Cain
- Jered Weaver
- Jonathan Papelbon
- Koji Uehara
- Junichi Tazawa
- Francisco Rodriguez
- Jonathan Broxton
- Brian Wilson
- Neftali Feliz
- LaTroy Hawkins
- Octavio Dotel
- John Axford
- Ryan Madson
- Jim Johnson
- Santiago Casilla
- Carter Capps
I would love to see everyone of these legends in the game, but I doubt they make cards for knuckleballers like Hoyt Wilhelm or RA Dickey. But it would be cool to be able to use them in play now or franchise like with Phil Niekro.

@EvylShaun said in Honus collection:
The biggest collection in the game last year was honus wagner. It was a money pit and a grind to complete. It involved essentially owning most of the non live series cards in the game (breakout, all-star, signature series, etc.)
It also required you to play 250 innings with every team, do a ton of exchanges, and a bunch of team specific missions (none of any of these things were repeatable btw) to unlock all the team affinity reward cards.
I don't believe doing the team affinities were required and I think that exchanges and innings were repeatable.
You needed to do most of the team affinity missions because that's where a lot of the all star and break out cards came from. There were very few of those cards that were ever made sellable, and certainly not enough to complete the sets. Signature series became the easiest ones to get done near the end when everyone got a 99.
Also, I could be wrong but I was pretty certain the exchanges were a 1 time thing. I seem to remember if you did the exchanges and missions up to full you were still 5 points short and playing innings was the only option left. Innings were repeatable though you're right but it was only 5 points per 250 played.
Oh ok.

@formallyforearms said in 90s and 2000s:
And here's me, who cant wait for 99s of Ruth, Gehrig, Hornsby, Feller and Gibson. I'm certainly the minority, I know.
I'm in your boat. Love to see Tris Speaker, Cap Anson types of guys. But love the addition of Jim Thome.
@buggstbone84 said in Team Affinity Points??:
So I'm like 5 points away from completing the Nationals stage 2 of Team Affinity but the goal will give me 10 points. Do those and any other points automatically roll over for TA 3 or will they be wasted?
Thanks for any help in advance
I believe they will be wasted until the next stage releases.

He would. Jimmy Rollins and David Ortiz both had flashbacks in earlier games and now they're legends.
Kenley, Wagner, Kimbrel, Gossage

Hank Greenberg.
I doubt this is it, but I would love to see him.
