MLB 15 The Show News Post


Another week is coming to a close in Diamond Dynasty, and the big pack released this week was the June Topps 50 Player pack. It costs 12,000 Stubs, and it has not caused prices on the Marketplace to dip much at all -- presumably due to the high cost. Instead, it seems the Marketplace is slowly recovering from some record-low prices that cropped up last weekend when the last batch of special-edition packs were released.

As this is a holiday weekend, I'm not sure if the roster will be released Monday morning or not, but we'll assume for now it will be. Either way, fewer names are on this list than usual as honestly not a ton of players stuck out to me this week.

Ratings Boost Probability: High

-Zack Greinke - A lot of folks have been bugging me about adding Greinke for a couple weeks now, but I had held off as I thought there were some better elite pitchers this season. I had been pushing for a Chris Sale upgrade over Greinke, but Sale still has not gotten his boost. Regardless, Greinke now joins him as somebody who I think just clearly is pitching like one of the best pitchers in the majors.

-Taijuan Walker - It's really been a crazy turnaround for Walker after his dreadful start. He's got five wins in the last month to go with over a strikeout per inning and a WHIP under one.

-Mike Montgomery - Walkers' teammate has also been a really great story, and I think it's fair to say Mike Montgomery also deserves a lot of praise at this point.

-Carlos Correa - He's amazing. I don't need to put stats here, Carlos Correa is just amazing and needs to be at least a Silver.

-Buster Posey - On some level, I really doubt Posey gets a boost this week, but to me he's been the best hitter over the last month and so I have to put him here.

Ah I totally forgot about that. I had a bunch of them I noticed so wasn't sure if I should just hold on. Thanks!

Greinke better get a boost to a Diamond or this system is broken

JD got boosted to an 81 last update. HAVE you seen his stats?? I'm not even a Tigers fan, but if he's not upgraded to a Gold I'd be shocked... The only reason I can think this guy didn't have him on his list is because it's so obvious.
Home Runs: 23 (2nd in the AL/6th in MLB)
RBI'S: 56 (3rd/8th)
Runs: 49 (9th/14th)
AVG: 285
SLG%: 563 (3rd/8th)

I don't think the update has happened yet... I don't see any changes. Maybe the Maintenance breaks they are talking about for July 7th & 9th is the update?

Damn Escobar drops 3 from 80 to 77 and hits .352 for month of june. Granted he's only hit .150 for july but thats based on 20 ab's. Wait till Escobar finds out about this haha.

Has anybody had a problem with an invalid lineup on diamond dynasty? I try to play a game head to head and it keeps telling me my lineup is invalid. Nothing happens when I try to auto fix the lineup, and my lineup looks normal.

I guess they're just saving the real boosts post all star break
 
# 15 ChaseB @ 07/06/15 01:09 PM
Yeah I'm doing the weekly update post right now but it almost doesn't seem worth it! But it will still be up in an hour or two.
 
# 16 Marino @ 07/06/15 01:15 PM
I heard somewhere that they may be doing a rerate of everyone during the All Star break.

They switched him back to 3B, that's why ov went down. I imagine he will get rating increases in next week's big update.

I heard that too. Might be why there were very few upgrades/downgrades this week.
