March to October

Play on at least Hall of Fame difficulty if you want to earn 50 points and win the diamond face of the franchise. If you’re trying to get cards fast, March to October isn’t the best option, but it is entertaining if you’re playing the game at your leisure.

Sit back and enjoy your team's unique opening, then step out of the dugout late game to bring your team victory in a variety of scenarios and season Moments.

Community Market

Purchase players at the Community Market. Search for overall 74 players and pick up 32 players. Remember to check all of the teams as players fluctuate. Shop around and work the market before rushing into purchases and blowing all of your Stubs. Try not to make any regrettable purchases.

Check and Complete Missions

Missions are fairly easy for the most part and vary from team to team, often taking time over effort. The Team Points and Stubs are worth the time. Possible Missions:

  • 250 Innings with Tex Players for +5 Team Points.
  • Bonus - 150 innings online with Tex Players for +2 Team Points.
  • Pitch innings with rangers for +5 Team Points.
  • AL West Showdown Exchange for +6 Team Points.

Do at least the offline innings missions and the team-specific one to earn 10 Team Points. Plus the Stub exchange.

Starter Collections

Trade your cards and items in exchange for XP and Stubs to buy better cards and equipment at the Community Market for your Diamond Dynasty team and Road to the Show player. It might be best to avoid Collections until you have a lot of the team's players. Otherwise, it can be extremely expensive.
