Thanks!

There are 6 captains in Diamond Dynasty with their own challenges to earn tickets.

If one of the 6 Cs on the card is lit up, that means that card will count towards that captain's current challenge.

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

Okay so the new modes have really gotten me excited about DD and I have spent more time this year than I have ever have ever since it was introduced. I have some questions.
When should I sell a card?
What do the arrows mean next to the overall player rating?
Should I use all the cards that I'm not using to feed my CAP?
Which cards should I sell and which should I keep?
If I sell a card, does it still show up that I collected it?
Is it better to hold unto points or spend them as I get them?
What's the best or fastest way to get points without spending real money on them?
Is there a way to draw your own logos for your uniforms? I can only find the logos, animals etc that are included in the game.
I see that some players have bronze and silver color behind their rating. I assume the silver and up are more valuable? Will I eventually get all the cards if I play enough? I really want Mike Trout
Any tips for buying?
Is the only way to have another user play DD to have them make their own profile and play with their profile? For instance, I have a friend that I think would love conquest mode but I already am playing DD and there is no option to play another one. It's not like franchise for example. I can save multiple franchises but only one DD. So does my friend need to make his own profile on my PS4 and log in separately? Basically not letting me play mine?

I am so glad they added 2 modes to DD. I always get so caught up in my franchise that I don't even bother with DD or RTTS. Thanks in advance for any help and tips.

1. You should typically sell a card that is going to lose value over time (thus lose you potential profit) or if you don't want it anymore. This question is too broad to give a specific answer.

2. The arrows are Inside Edge. New this year is Inside Edge. It's a baseball statistical firm in real life that this game partnered up with. Every player in Diamond Dynasty every day, receives a rating from 1 to 5 stars depending on how the company predicts that real players will perform against the real life pitcher they will be facing that day. Players can lose or gain stats daily based on how many stars they were given.

3. If you want to complete certain team collections and missions to earn powerful cards, no. If you don't care, and just want a good created player, then sure.

4. Again, this question is too broad. Keep cards you want. Keep cards that you think will perform well in real life during the season (and this get upgrades and jump in price, allowing you to sell for large profit).

5. No. If you sell it, you don't "have" the card anymore. You must physically own the card for it to count towards a collection.

6. Do whatever you want with your points. Some people save them and work the market while others buy cheap, powerful players to give their team a boost.

7. Buy low and sell high on the market or buy stubs

8. No, you must create logos from the shapes given. If you are clever enough, almost any picture can be made from the shapes given.

9. Common (white), Bronze, Silver, Gold and Diamond are the card classes. You aren't guaranteed every card in the game but you can have them if you work hard enough.

10. Buy players who will get upgraded later in the year. Buy players that cover weaknesses in your team.

11. Yes, your friend would have to log into an entirely separate PSN account.

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

Is there no way to power or contact swing with the flick controls? I noticed with the pull back thing if you push square before the pitch it is a power swing. If you push circle before it is a contact swing. With the flick controls it doesn't do that? What am I missing? I haven't really had time to play the game for more than like 30 minutes of practice mode so maybe I just forgot from last year how to do it.

Move the right stick straight up from neutral for a normal swing, left or right for a contact swing, and pull it back before pushing up (like regular stride) for a power swing. There's no way to stride in flick mode without it being a power swing.

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

Is there anyway to turn that R2 guess pitch icon off? Couldn't do it last year either. Maybe I missed a setting.

As long as Guess Pitch is on it will be there. Only way it won't show is if you turn Guess Pitch off.

How do I turn on injuries in offline franchise mode?

Is there a way to play Manager Only/GM mode?

Never played this game before b/c never had PS3.

I just want to be able to play the game as Manager/GM. Where I could play a season or seasons, and play the actual games (not simmed), but where the CPU/AI controls my players as well.

Can anyone tell me how to do that in this game?

Thanks much.

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

I still can't figure it out how do I skip throwing warm up pitches with bullpen which buttons do I push?

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

Is there no more pitch call out? When a pitch was thrown you immediately saw if it was a ball or strike (blue dot/red dot) but I can't find that option anywhere this year..?

Creating chants
Is there a thread on this that explains how to do it? Do I need a real microphone or will the mic on my ear buds work? Also where in the game do I go to record chants? I literally cannot find any info on this and I apologize if I missed this somewhere on here.

Thanks!

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

Can someone tell me how to do something like this (1st and 3rd situation)? It's not really about the scoring outcome. How do I control the individual runner (running back and forth, back and forth) without affecting the other runner on base. Pressing R1 and L1 causes everyone to start running.

Either turn it off in the Gameplay Options menu or in game push the touchpad.

Thanks!

You could record your own chants with (for example) a singstar mic on the ps3 back in the day. Now on the ps4 this option is gone, you gotta record on your phone or pc export it ad an mp3 on usb and import it.

Oh that sucks if you do the regular stride does it matter how you time the stride like in 14? Or does t not matter? The thing that sucks if you just do the pull back early is that the animation for it does show up so it looks awkward to do it early but does it matter at all?

Thanks for this. What are powerful cards? Bummer about DD only 1 player per profile.
