DIAMOND DYNASTY

HOW TO PLAY

Your Diamond Dynasty journey begins with a simple set of tutorials to teach you the basics. Before you know it, you'll start earning Packs and Rewards that you can use to improve your squad.

But before that, your team needs a name, logo, and uniforms. Use The Show’s uniform creator to give your team a unique look or choose from thousands of real uniforms from Major League, Minor League, and Negro League teams to outfit your squad. Armed with your dream team and personalized look, you are ready to take on Diamond Dynasty!

Need help choosing a logo? Check out the online Logo Vault to choose from pages upon pages of logos lovingly created and graciously shared by The Show’s community. Of course, you can upload your custom logos and see if your creation becomes a fan favorite, too - our Logo Creator offers you an unfathomable level of freedom and creativity to make a truly unique looks that reflects who you are.

You earn rewards like Stubs and XP as you play. Stubs are the in-game currency used to purchase cards in Packs or through the online Community Marketplace. XP is tied directly to the XP Reward Path. You earn rewards, tailored to the specific Inning active at any given time, for each threshold you meet. The more you play (in any mode), the more (and better) rewards you earn!

If an MLB player performs a spectacular real-life feat in the 2026 MLB season, their player card will receive a Supercharged Boost and unique border art to go with it! This temporary boost stacks with other Parallel boosts you have earned, turning that card into a uniquely powerful weapon to build your lineup around for a short time.

Each lineup can also feature both Hitting and Pitching Captains, special player cards who can amplify the skills of other players like them! All Captain’s boosts scale up as more players in your lineup fit the criteria, and each of them presents a unique puzzle to solve as you craft your optimal lineup!
