    The Time Warp Event

    OWN THE SHOW Experience faster, deeper and more intense moment-to-moment match action on the field, with a variety of game modes for all you rookie players and returning seasoned vets. Purchase Live out your dreams Step on the diamond while surrounded by corn fields with the addition of MLB® Field of Dreams added to MLB® […]


    Welcome to the Time Warp Event!
    UPDATE: Legend and Flashback relievers have been added to Diamond Dynasty to help build your bullpens for the event. Details are at the end of the blog.
    START: Wednesday, June 7 | 3 p.m. ET / 12 p.m. PT
    END: Wednesday, June 14 | 3 p.m. ET / 12 p.m. PT
    DIFFICULTY: All-Star; Online head-to-head
    INNINGS: 6 per-game
    The fourth Diamond Dynasty event in The Show 17 will be the Time Warp Event. Assemble a team of only Legends and Flashbacks. The event allows any tier of player, but your team overall is limited to 80 OVR.
    ENTER THE EVENT
    All Events are free to enter.
    BUILD YOUR LINEUP
    Events have their own dedicated lineup, but only player items from your Inventory are eligible. One tip to build your lineup is to use the Community Market on TheShowNation.com and click on Set to see Legends and Flashbacks.
    6-INNING GAMES
    The Time Warp Event consists of only 6-inning games.
    REWARDS
    The reward system is similar to Battle Royale in Diamond Dynasty where you collect rewards as you pass win-streak reward milestones. There is also a cumulative wins reward for racking up those wins over the course of the Event.
    WIN STREAK REWARDS

    CUMULATIVE WINS REWARDS

    Q: Can I sell these rewards when I earn them?
    A: Yes.
    Q: Where can I see my rewards?
    A: In the Events dashboard once the Event begins and you enter your team.
    Q: If I win 12 games in-a-row, do I get the 3, 6, and 10-win streak rewards?
    A: Yes.
    DOUBLE ELIMINATION
    Similar to Battle Royale, two losses eliminates your current lineup from the Event, but you can re-enter for free right away with any lineup that meets the Event requirements. The benefit of double elimination is the opportunity to rebuild your team if you want to swap out players.
    Q: If I lose 1 game, can I start a new win streak to earn Streak Rewards?
    A: Yes. If you are 9-1 and then win your next 12 games (21-1 record), you can earn the 12-Win Streak Reward.
    Q: If I lose 2 games and my current lineup is eliminated from the Event, does it reset my Cumulative Wins?
    A: No, the Cumulative Wins will continue to track until the end of the Event.
    Best of luck!
    CALL TO THE BULLPEN
    The following Legend and Flashback bullpen pitchers have been added to Diamond Dynasty ahead of the Time Warp Event. They can be acquired as post-game rewards or in packs (Standard, Bases Loaded, Program and Conquest), and they can be bought and sold in the Community Market:
    Looking forward to this event trying to complete Cruz/Drabek Programs

    Re: The Time Warp Event

    40 wins in 6 inning games seems like tough going for a week. Not convinced I'll give this one much of a go, not a very exciting concept either imo.

    On the plus side, I've been able to sell all my flashback and legend bullpen guys for exorbitant prices I got 4k for Rookie Rollie Fingers yesterday and he's trash, cost me something like 100 subs a few weeks ago

      I just need 9-10 more event wins for the dynasty program so I'll just go for that. But I agree, 40 wins is way too much.

          40 wins nothing when you get at least 20 by guys that quit in first few innings

            Anyone know if the matchmaking for this event is "broken" like it was for the advantage hitters?

              Went 4-2 tonight. I like this event but I'm mostly playing for the Diamond program wins. I want that Cano so bad but you have to average 5.5 wins a day to get to 40. Just don't have that kind of free time anymore.

                This is the first 6 inning event I've done and I really really enjoy the game length. WAY better than the 3 inning game as it allows a bit more time to adjust to your opponent. I really hope they add a 6 inning variant to BR next year. I love the drafting portion and would play the hell out of a 6 inning version

                  I went to enter the event this morning and I got a notification saying I don't have enough players to generate a lineup. Makes no sense. I have a ton of legends and flashbacks.

                      I am 1 relief pitcher short to play this event and don't have the stubs to buy one of the overpriced relief guys. Way to go and make an event that is almost impossible to join.

                        Agreed, I like it as length of game, enough time to start getting your eye in and learning what the other guy is trying to do.

                        One thing I would change though for both this and BR is if the game is shorter, you should have a smaller bullpen. It isn't baseball to put the worst SP's in your team and pull them after one hitter and just pitch the full game with your bullpen. I know that's become the standard, everyone does it tactic for the shorter game modes, but it really shouldn't be.

                          They tend to have RP's like Phil Hughes in the ticket store

                            Going to pass on this event i think. I'm 3 or 4 relievers short and can't justify paying 4k minimum on a a guy I'm only going to use for a week.

                              I have this problem too.

                              Also, all my relievers are diamonds and golds, which would make the foundation of my team to be relievers if the CAP is 80. How are people able to field teams?
