Diamond Dynasty Ranked
Ranked play grants rewards as you win full-length games against online opponents and climb the Season leaderboard. The leaderboard resets regularly, so there are fresh incentives to stay at the top!
Co-Op Ranked lets you build a squad with one or two of your friends, average your Ranked leaderboard ratings, prove your superiority on the field, and make the run to the World Series rank an all-inclusive affair.
Coach Tip: Don’t give up! Players in Ranked (especially in lower divisions) may want to quit if they initially fall behind by a couple of runs, but nine innings is a long time. Remember: as long as you play out the game, your stats count towards Parallel XP and Featured Program Missions, win or lose!
Weekend Classic
When the weekend hits, the champions come out to play. Weekend Classic takes the already-beloved Solo Ranked game mode and makes it even more rewarding. Each win grants you additional pack, player, or Stub rewards. You're also placed in a Leaderboard competition against similarly-rated players, with the best performers for the weekend earning even more.
Coach Tip: Leaderboards are filled out by Ranked rating. It might be tempting to artificially tank that rating in the lead-up to a Weekend Classic in order to max out your rewards - but as the finger on the monkey's paw curls up, you'll notice that both the leaderboard and per-game rewards at that level are far less exclusive and valuable than the ones at your true skill level!
