How Diamond Quest Works

Diamond Quest is a solo Diamond Dynasty mode that uses a board-based mechanic:

• Movement: Use dice rolls to move across the map.
• Challenges: Landing on specific spaces triggers "Player-Locked" or "Stadium Challenges."
• The Sweeper: Avoid the Sweeper mechanic, which can pin you into unfavorable challenges if you don't plan your route carefully.
• Cash-Out: Your run concludes with a 3-inning stadium game. The difficulty you choose for this final game determines the tier of rewards you receive.

Strategic Tips for Cityscapes

• Peanut Economy: "Peanuts" earned in the mode carry over between maps. Use them to buy temporary perks that make the 3-inning "cash-out" game easier.
• The "Mantle" Grind: Both Dave Parker and Michael Young are essential if you are aiming for the 93 OVR Mickey Mantle (which requires collecting 30 Cityscapes cards).
• Efficiency: If you are a high-skill player, you can "Rush the Stadium" to maximize reward attempts per hour. If you prefer a safer route, focus on a "Full Clear" to stack perks before the final game.
• Double XP: As of today (May 4), Double XP Weekend is active. While the Diamond Quest card rewards are fixed, the gameplay XP you earn while playing the 3-inning games is doubled toward your 2nd Inning path progress.
