• Diamond Dynasty – Maddux, Eckersley, Bob Gibson Added

A trio of old faithfuls have come to Diamond Dynasty in MLB The Show 22 today via a new event and a new Headliners pack. In the Pitcher’s Paradise Event, we get All-Star Greg Maddux and All-Star Bob Gibson. With Headliners Set 8, we get All-Star Dennis Eckersley.

These are three big names, so let’s discuss if any of them will be worth the time or stubs to acquire. Replacing the Moonshot Event is the inverse (kind of) with Pitcher’s Paradise. Only, we’re not using common hitters, it’s just taking place at Forbes Field.

• Diamond Dynasty – First Ratings Update, New Event, Headliners, Nike City Connect Uniform

In the busiest day in Diamond Dynasty since launch, we got a wide variety of new content today. The biggest content drop was the new Spring Cleanup Program, but we also got a new Event, a fresh Headliners pack, the first roster update, a new Nike City Connect uniform, and more Topps Now players. Let’s quickly run through all the new stuff. 

The odds on Headliners packs to pull a diamond are 1:10 (as always), albeit that diamond might not be 2nd Half Heroes Ryne Sandberg. In addition, this year you can buy one pack of the Headliners choice pack, which gives you 1:3 odds of pulling a 90+ overall diamond (and of course costs more stubs).

• Bush Hockey League Review – Has Style, Lacks Substance

It’s long been established by this point that when it comes to the world of hockey video games, EA’s NHL series towers over the competition and dominates the marketplace thanks to its official rosters and how its annual releases for decades now have become part of the collective consciousness. That doesn’t mean though that aren’t other options available for those who have grown frustrated with the incremental progress that the series makes each year and would love to see how an alternative to that series might play. On top of that, the Nintendo Switch does not have the EA NHL series, so with this Bush Hockey League review, let’s discuss one of the other hockey options out there.
