Aside from what everyone else mentioned, you can also sell your cards for stubs. So if you don't play DD and you somehow get a Babe Ruth card, you can sell it for millions of stubs and use those to boost up your RTTS player or add to your budget in Franchise mode.

Re: MLB The Show 18 Video - Improvements to Diamond Dynasty

I did DD first time in 17. Only the vs cpu modes. Any information they added more VS CPU modes? Like Madden did a few years ago which brought new life for me to MUT.

I can't play DD online vs. All the other players teams are stacked and they take advantage it seems of the game. I understand it's fun for some, but I didnt enjoy online since it felt like I was always going to get beat because I didnt spend the money on a strong team.

So any info on increasing 'offline' DD vs CPU modes?

Can anyone tell me how to sign up for the preorder bonus stuff with Best Buy? If you preorder are you guaranteed all the extra packs, the legend card, and everything the end of the video mentioned? And get the game early?

Or do you have to buy the locker room or elite edition instead of the standard game?

It works on the regular edition as well. They will email you the code when the game ships.

Re: MLB The Show 18 Video - Improvements to Diamond Dynasty

So...did they get rid of the use of the old retro card motif? It was so cool seeing a bunch of the old school Topps designs from when I collected as a kid. If they're gone, well, I don't know...it loses a bit of the charm for me.

Guess we'll know soon enough....

I'm sure they will have a ton of flashbacks and old cards still

Yeah that was my favorite part of DD last cycle. All those sweet retro Topps cards.

Re: MLB The Show 18 Video - Improvements to Diamond Dynasty

I’d like a post season mode .. where your DD team plays a best of 5,7,7 game series and if you win it all you get a card : make the difficulties like when you play against the cpu in extra innings .
