Finally made the WS!!

Walk off HR with my CAP in the bottom of the 11th. I did a lot better when I took all most of my diamonds out of the lineup to lower my rating mod and replaced them with value hitters. My lineup in the clincher was

balanced RF CAP 89 OVR
Paul Goldschmidt 1B
Rhys Hoskins OF
PS Pedro Alvarez 3B
Gary Sanchez C
Jonathan Schoop 2B
AS Jim Edmonds C.F.
Paul Dejong SS

Dee Gordon bench
Wilson Contreras bench
J.D. Martinez bench
BO Harmon Killebrew bench
Billy Hamilton bench

I have a lot of diamond players like Kemp Molina Billy Williams Griffey Doby Torre, but I found lowering my rating mod made a huge difference. I kept my best pitcher's in there for the most part my rotation was

PS Bret Saberhagen
AS Don Sutton
IV Nolan Ryan (don't like much)
PS Jack Morris
HW Felix Hernandez

Bullpen

Dellin Betances
Josh Hader
Roberto Osuna
Felipe Rivero
R Phil Niekro
IV Billy Wagner
AS Fernando Rodney

My rating mod was +39

Man the competition gets stiff once you reach 850 or so, good luck to all still grinding. Time to enjoy some less stressful games!

I have all golds in my lineup and rotations and have gotten to 799 and then lost a few, back up to 792, lost a few. Its heartbreaking. Yet to pull a diamond. First time playing DD this year.

Congrats man, I keep trying.

I find there is more value in power silvers/holds as they keep your rating mod down and hit better than a lot of diamonds although you do usually sacrifice some defence

What's a rating Mod?

It shows up when your managing your lineup. The number will be +/- whatever then when searching for an opponent that number will be added or subtracted from your current rating so if you're in the championship series with a +150 rating mod you're much more likely to match up with world series opponents or God squads

Oh Wow ok thanks heaps for that.
So i take it from the info, it's better to have a - rating mod if possible?

I wouldn't say that necessarily, it's best to use your most efficient lineup. Keep your rating mod as low as possible while having your best possible players. But yes the lower your rating mod the less skilled opponents you will face.
