Season 3 content

The major change coming into season 3, is that players won't be able to use Set 1 cards in most game modes of Diamond Dynasty. So, players will need to build their Diamond Dynasty squad around Set 2, Set 3, and Core Set cards.

The mode that will be most affected by this is ranked. However, some events, specific Mini Season challenges, and Conquest Maps will also be affected by this rule.

This will force some players to say goodbye to their superstar pitcher or hitter. Players will need to try out new cards and rebuild their squads.

However, a new feature called Wild Card player slot allows players to use one of their Set 1 cards. So, players can still choose their best card from Set 1 and incorporate it into their new squad.
