This is the year Diamond Dynasty took off to new heights with some amazing content and programs to unlock new cards and reward stat accumulation during online games. Some of the memorable challenges to gain cards were made even tougher by the troubled server issues that plagued the first month of the game after launch. However, just as the game was stabilizing and hitting its stride, SDS released the Pepe Alazar card, a fictional player with max attributes, that split the community. The rest of the year's content was great but whether you think this game is the best baseball game ever or simply one of the best likely depended on your ability to withstand the server issues and your opinion on the Pepe card.
