If you have more specific questions, I'm sure we'd be welcome to answer them. I can't exactly just explain the entire mode to you because it would take me an hour just to explain every aspect. I'll quote a post I made somewhere else and maybe it'll be helpful.


You can either play Conquest (a Risk like offline game where you take your team and try to take over a board game version of the US by defeating CPU teams in short 3 inning games), Battle Royale (similar to Madden's Draft Champions where you draft a team and try to beat another online player's draft team for rewards) or Road to the Playoffs (take your DD team online to play 9 inning games to try to move up the ranks and eventually make it to the top world series rank).

You can also create your own player (and feed him cards to increase his stats), create your own jerseys/logo, go to the marketplace and buy/list up cards with other players, play friends and more. Any game mode you play earns you stubs (the game mode currency) or tickets (you select a Captain the first time you boot up the mode and then everything you do increases rank with him. You can purchase nice cards from his store with tickets).

The main way to get rewards in this mode is to:
A. Invest in players. Buy cheap players you think will become good in real life later in the year (and thus their price will rise), buy them and hold on to them until their price rises.

B. Play the market. Find a player with a large gap between their buy and sell price, buy order the player for as low as possible, and sell them for just under their current sell price

C. Play any mode within Diamond Dynasty. You will be rewarded with a few cards and tickets (usually crappy ones but sometimes you can get lucky and get an amazing card) in which you can sell or add to your collection.

Finish collections (collect every player on a current MLB team) and earn tickets to earn hidden flashback players and legends.

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 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.
The devs also upgrade cards that have performed well in real life at the beginning of each week by increasing and decreasing their overall and stats.
