Pretty sure we have played a couple of times so you most likely were able to win because of that...LOL

I know I played you one time that night. That was a pretty good game too - Guidry was hard as hell to hit, and I was only able to run his count up to get him out of the game. Even after that I got spooked by the Stanton HR when I was hoping to get a CGSO with Liriano. You really battled at the plate, especially late.

Good game man.

I'm finding this new event much easier than I find BR, I don't know why. I guess the best players don't bother messing around with it as the rewards aren't that great in comparison, but I managed to win 9 games and get Killibrew with my first attempt (and both my losses were pretty tough, one essentially thrown by the computer by dropping back to back routine fly balls to let them walk it off), much better than anything I've managed in BR. Might try and grind it to 50 wins for the cards as it's not been too tough, plus it'll help with my Diamond program.

Having all lefty pitchers though really opens up some cards I wouldn't normally go near though, it's quite fun. A complete slug fest obviously though as your poor pitchers are really up against it. Rookie Arenado is in his element though, same for that CWS Konerko that normally wouldn't stand a chance of getting near my first base position.

It's definitely true that this is easier than BR. I had no trouble going 12-0 my first try and I've never gone 12-0 on BR. If you can hit, then this event should be a breeze for you.

I'm curious if anyone knows whether or not you can get Andrew miller more than once? Like if I enter again and go 12 wins will I get a second miller? This is a great way to make tons of stubs quickly if it's possible.

I imagine you can, based on how little he's going for. Only 40k for a diamond reliever with ridiculous ratings suggests there's a lot of people with some spare. His regular card is like 120k and it's pretty much identical

I think you can, I mean, I don't see why not.

You can, just won my second Andrew Miller. Wow I'm going to be playing this a lot between now and Wednesday.

Yeah I think I will as well then. I'm 9-0 right now after going 11-2 last time so I have two Killebrews so far.

Why does the event not end once you get to 12? Why do I have to intentionally lose to restart it? Does anyone at sds have any common sense?

Because people want to see how high their streak can go instead of starting over to make another easy 50k! Yeah right...

Hysterical, it's weird to me that anyone would play more than 12 games unless they're 1 win away from the breakout starters wins or something. You should be allowed to just start over without taking a loss.

Re: Diamond Dynasty Update: Ranked Seasons Awards Rolling Out, New Event Announced

I'm up to 31 wins now so I should hit 50 before the end of the event. Not done any event games before either so that'll get me the Griffey mission as well, along with a long way towards those 33 breakout HR's for the Cruz mission. It's an absolute slugfest though, so many high scoring games. A lot of games I lose just on the game deciding to do the thing where it hates solid green hits and is only accepting just late oppo field HR's, but generally I'm finding it pretty easy. Won a Miller and 2 Killibrews along the way, which is good going as I'm really not very good.

Nice too see they still have done nothing about the game freezing in the first inning of 0-0 ranked season game that results in me taking a loss....yes that's sarcasm.

Some stuff I read about matchmaking issues really put a damper on this event.

I never noticed any issues, what were they? Maybe I just didn't pay attention.

If you backed out of the event page after every game, and then went back in, it treated you as if you havent played yet so you could keep playing low ranked opponents all the way through.

Oh that's what he's talking about. I didn't consider that an issue since it made it easy for me to rake in about 500k.

Kinda slimy, but it probably evens out with all the BR runs I've had destroyed by freezes and queues.
