Will they release new card?

[Matt1108g]

I've seen a few people ask this question, and haven't seen any responses. While I've owned every MLB game, this is the first year I'm playing Diamond Dynasty. Do they release newer cards/packs throughout the year? Throwback cards/legends, etc?

The game has only been out for a week, and many people already have their dream lineup. I feel like within a month, nearly every person will have the same exact team (which does happen in other ultimate team games, admittedly). I understand they update the card ratings throughout the year, which will be great, but if they don't add any new cards this will get stale fast, won't it?

Even if they add new cards it will get stale.

I love this mode, but I knew it had a shelf life. Im hoping it holds me over until OSFM drops. After that point I am doing franchises anyway. It gets old facing Mike Schmidt, Ralph Kiner, Jeff Bagwell, etc in every game.

They ABSOLUTELY need new card/packs/legends, etc. With all due respect-its like they went only half *** with this mode. Lets call it what it is - its an ultimate team mode. So dont be coy about it, create challenges, special cards, etc to keep players coming back. They already make it too easy by letting you create your own diamond player at any position. I just dont have much incentive to keep coming back.

The current-day MLB player cards will all have their ratings updated automatically to match MLB 15's regular roster updates.

I don't see why anyone would want to pay two, three, even four times for the exact same player like in Ultimate Team.

You buy a player in Diamond Dynasty, and he's yours for the whole year. Maybe his ratings go up, maybe they go down. It all depends on how he does in real life.

That's a much better system than paying for the same player multiple times throughout the year just to get his ratings to be up to date.

That's not what I'm asking at all. I'm saying they should have throwback cards and such. Example: Pujols from 2006, Roy Halladay, etc. It would be fun to have a vintage team of current players- hell, I would have fun playing with rookie versions of a lot of stars today.

I was asking if this is something they do? NBA 2K has Onyx and Ruby cards, I didn't know if MLB the Show does anything similar. I'm not suggesting we have 3 different Mike Trout cards from 2015 with different ratings.

I don't want that, either. I would welcome some additional throwback players- they don't even have to be legends.

No one can answer my initial question, though. There has to be someone who has played this mode for a few years that can answer a SIMPLE question.... DO THEY RELEASE ANY ADDITIONAL PLAYERS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR?

Sure rookies that are called up

On Sony's Twitch stream prior to the game's release, they said they were considering adding new cards throughout the year but weren't sure how to go about it yet. That's all the information we have at this time.

They should definitely add some challenges. Something like domination in NBA2k15 would be perfect.

Re: Will they release new card?

Well like FIFA when players are doing well that week they get a team of the week card which is earned not just randomly given like 2k does

Do new packs get released at all though? There are only three packs on a screen with 8 slots so I thought maybe they would release more
Packs as the season goes on like for opening day or all star celebration and post season. Any DD veterans know if they have done this in the past? I am new to this game and I don't want to spend my stubs now if more packs will be released soon.
