I don't like the idea of 2 99 cards, I just don't. And this card will be better than the other one despite 2015 Harper being better than 2021 Harper

I mean how can SDS predict Harper would be the MVP this season. He earned MVP before and they released a card for him. He got MVP again so they’re giving him a Finest, Seems only right to me. I don’t see why it’s a problem unless you don’t like Harper.

I mean Abreu didn't get a finest card last year. Trout got a Signature series and not a finest in 19(The current finest Trout is completely made up.) the only thing likely to separate finest Harper from award harper is Power vs L, Fielding, and Quirks. Its just a waste when people are still waiting on Puckett etc.

And to be clear, I don't hate Harper, far from it. I just thinks that tgis further proves that cards based on the current season are far too juiced. 2015 Harper is arguably the best non-Bonds hitting season of the past 25 years. Legends and non-current season flashbacks deserve more than what they get

Harper is easily one of my favorite players, but giving him two 99s is absolutely one of the dumbest things SDS has ever done content-wise. The only way it’ll make sense is if the finest has significantly worse attributes against lefties, significantly worse reaction, but slightly better fielding. But of course they’re going to pretend this year was better than his 2015 season and boost every single attribute out the [censored].

If I were someone that cared about puckett, bagwell, etc., then SDS making a pointless 99 like this is something I’d be furious over.

If any at SDS actually cares about stats, they should be ashamed of themselves for even suggesting that Harper’s 2021 season was anywhere close to his 2015 season.

I would be with you if this card was a reward for something or part of a program. However, it's a gift, you literally don't have to do anything to earn it. Stop complaining. Don't use it if you don't like it.

You know what would have been a better gift? Kirby Puckett. Or literally any other card that didn't have a 99. I would have even accepted a no-hitter card for some of those guys that threw one so early in the season their topps nows are under 90. A Harper card that is marginally better, even with a worse season than 2015 Harper, is stupid. It just seems like fan service for the Phillies fans that have been crying about a Phillies 99 Harper for 3 years

You know what? You're right, they could've given us a better gift. They could've given us a player who doesn't have a 99 yet. You know what they didn't have to do? Give us a gift at all. I don't have the MVP Harper so I'm looking forward to using this one. People will find a way to complain about anything nowadays lol.

@a761506_psn said in Which cards get values decimated with 11th inning?:

You’d sell if you thought the price would drop so you can complete collections… for instance, Griffey… anyone who has Griffey likely spent real money to get him. We all play the same game here, some of those collections cost a fortune to get there, and you need all but one completed to get Griffey. I’d like to use his card, I refuse to spend real money, so I’ll sell off some high dollar cards on the hopes prices drop and I can finish that collection.

You don't need to spend real money to get Griffey. I haven't spent a dime on stubs, I don't flip cards or use the market or really do anything to get stubs except play the game and occasionally sell a high value card, and I've completed all the collections and got Griffey earlier this week. If you've been playing all year he's really not hard to obtain.

I've been playing semi casually for a number of years, always enjoyed the game. This year I've put more effort into ranked seasons. I'm pretty decent, managed to end up with a very solid record in just over 60 games so far. I was enjoying it until I got to the 700s+. Hitting becomes Frustratingly difficult. Pitching completely dominates 90% of the games. I've managed to keep winning more than I lose but it's become incredibly sweaty and boring. 3-2 games with 16 strikeouts a side gets stale real quick.

I wish they would do something like maybe make pitching more difficult as your rating goes up, not the other way around. Like make it more difficult to locate or something, cause every pitch is an absolute dot.

You were enjoying all star because it is a slug fest with the pci being enormous.

Yes... That's my point, slugfests are way more fun than constant pitcher's duels

I have absolutely no problem with daily moments being as easy as humanly possible. The more moments you can spend 2 minutes or less on the better.

Who cares?

Cared enough to comment

Care enough to get tired if people crying because they suck and lose.

Says the guy who's batting. 252 with a 44-29 record.

I tanked 25 wins to get Trout. I was 14-2 before trying. this game is so bad online and records don't mean anything.

Sure you were. 14-2 where the first 14 games were on Veteran and the 2 losses came once you hit All-Star difficulty. But hey I'm sure you weren't even trying, right?

Correct, I don't care. Just played online to get Trout. Never said I was a HOF or Legend player. Highest rating was 635 but tanked to 400-450 for the easy wins. I cared last year with my 80-29 record, or something similar, but learned this game is trash and not worth the time caring about fake records.

I'm down for a friendly if you ever want.

Friendly huh? That's ironic, since you haven't been very friendly at all.

Agreed. I dislike cry babies as I said before.

We can play an unfriendly then. I'll try and be as toxic as I can.

Look man, you came at me saying I suck. Truth is I just went on a 27-3 run to make WS for Trout, didn't have to tank a thing. I played good players instead of dodging them and in the meantime I ended up batting well over .300 which would've been closer to .400 if not for all the dashboards during my homeruns. So I don't think you want this smoke, stick to your offline play before bed.

Oh, I so envy you because you're a WS player. I wish I could be as cool as you. /s

I was just pointing out how hilarious it is for someone like you to tell someone like me "you suck". You were all to eager throwing out numbers and records and god knows what, so I figured I'd do the same.

Almost in the same breath you tell someone they suck and then say that you tanked games so you can avoid playing vs good players lol. Can’t even make this stuff up.

Also almost every post I’ve seen from him has been complaint posts(ie the crying he’s talking about). Ironic

Wait you're saying this to him right, not me? I'm confused because you quoted me. But yeah if you did mean him then I agree, he's a bit weird.

Yea him.

You guys are freaking morons. Both blocked so I don't have to ever deal with you little cry babies again. Cry me a river. You lost a game. Waaaaaaaaa

Lol the only person crying about anything on this thread is you my dude. Why you so angry?

Huge W, I love it. Anybody that complains about a free 99 that you get literally just by logging in is just a whiner.

@michaelnight22_psn said in Ban Zone hitting on DD.:

Zone hitting is essentially guess pitch. It's becoming corny AF. Unrealistic. It should be banned from Diamond Dynasty in my opinion. Directional hitting is more realistic but it stops working once you get in the 700 hundreds in level rank or whatever... every hitting style should be equal. Zone hitting is more dominant style and I think that's not right in my opinion. I've used Directional hitting since the first mlb the show and now I have to change my style because it just doesn't work as well as Zone AKA Guess pitch... in a way... I'm 37 years old I shouldn't have to change the way I play.... SMH. Let us use custom batting veiws in DD... Come on man. Equality please.

Directional hitting is lame and requires no skill. If you don't like zone it's probably cause you suck

I'd 100% rather have a universal DH, in this game and real life. Give me that extra slot for a card that I actually want to hit with, it would give us so many more options to build a lineup. Watching the pitcher hit in real life is painful. Let a real hitter hit.

I don't really enjoy most moments in general, but let's be real, 95% of them are easy as sh!t. If you can't complete something, chances are it's because your not good at hitting. Every once in a while I'll have an at bat where the pitcher is wild, or the defense makes some spectacular diving play, but the way some people complain I'm thinking they must've gotten a different game than the one I have

@red_ted_is_back said in 15% strikes:

@halfbutt_psn said in 15% strikes:

For the sake of completeness, in the entire 3 inning game, the ai threw 10 out of 35 pitches in the zone, for a massive 28%.

Wondering, did you take walks and get baserunners and if so, what were the outcomes in those innings? And did you end up winning?

ie was it setting you up for a win or a loss.

I lost 1-0 on an Adam Duvall pp bomb off a pretty confident Walker Buehler.

I had no walks, no hits and two strikeouts over three innings. There was one diving stop from the shift double play, one sliding defensive grab at short and a diving stop at first base.

I know sometimes you can get some bad luck against the cpu, but c'mon dude, it's conquest against the cpu on I'm assuming all-star or lower. It's not hard to win. If you lose against the cpu you have no one to blame but yourself, sorry.

These rewards are a pretty big letdown after Trea last event. Not worth grinding for imo. Lofton could be fun, but with how deep outfield is he's C tier at best. Mcgriff will never see the light of day on anything but a theme team lol

This guy is trolling lol. It takes 2 seconds to Google it and see MLB teams do it all the time, so clearly not illegal. Don't feed the trolls guys.

I honestly am leaning more towards him being a moron over trolling.

He claims to have played in college. Anybody who played ball or is even a casual fan of baseball would know it's not illegal. There's no way it's not a troll job. The moronic level is too astronomical for it to be genuine.

Interesting concept. Personally I don't think I would like having somebody else control part of the game while I just sit there and watch. Sounds boring. Baseball isn't like football where everybody is doing something every play. If you're not controlling the pitcher or batter you're not doing anything.

Maybe there could be a way to make it exciting but I'm just not sure how you could make MLB co-op fun for both people.

Your entire premise revolves around how realistic a lineup is, which was never a point of contention and nobody has ever cared about. I guess there's a reason this is the first time I've ever heard such a weird, irrelevant take on FS cards lol

@kingakp_xbl said in Sds better not hit us with Finest Cole:

I don't understand the hate for Cole. He pitched well enough for the Yankees to win that game. Giving up 3 runs isn't that bad. The Yankees offense lost the game last night. Cole was fine...

You don't pay someone $300+ million to not make it out of the third inning in a wild card game. For a guy who's supposed to be one of the elite pitchers in the game, that's gonna earn him the reputation of playoff choker.

After I made world series a couple months ago I stopped playing ranked for a while so I went down to all-star difficulty. I just played my first game on hall of fame since they updated the pci movement and WOW. That was the most painfully boring experience of my life. Literally both pitchers had perfect games through 9 innings before I got disconnected. It's impossible to get good pci placement cause it moves so much. I will do everything in my power to never play another game above all star if this is how the game plays at hall of Fame and up.

Other than the Icon and banner; why bother trying to make WS when all you have to do is win 30 games and you get the same reward.

Cause I don't have the time or desire to play 30 games in a season. I've played 89 games the entire year.

You'll probably run into more of those type of players in the low hundreds cause that's where the trash lives lol. Once you get past around 400-500 it becomes less frequent
