The modern game at full throttle. This set brings the complete 2018 professional baseball season to Game Pulse — all 30 teams, every player, and 33 ballpark cards, including the special venues where the season actually traveled: Estadio Monterrey in Mexico, Hiram Bithorn Stadium in Puerto Rico, and the Little League Classic park in Williamsport.
What's Included
All 30 team rosters with full player cards (position players and pitchers)
33 ballparks — every big-league stadium plus the Monterrey, San Juan, and Williamsport special venues
Shohei Ohtani as a true two-way player, with both a batter card and a pitcher card
New ratings built from the full 2018 regular season and postseason
Card Generation
Every card is generated from actual 2018 season statistics. Batter and pitcher ratings are built from real performance data across the full season, with park factors computed from each stadium's run environment — so Mookie Betts' card reflects his MVP year, and Coors Field plays the way it plays.
Icons of the Era
2018 was a season of extremes. Mookie Betts hit .346 with a 30-30 season and took the MVP. Jacob deGrom posted a 1.70 ERA and won a Cy Young with just 10 wins to his name. Blake Snell went 21-5, Christian Yelich chased a Triple Crown to the season's final day, and the Yankees hit 267 home runs — more than any team in history to that point. And then there's the rookie: Shohei Ohtani, the first true two-way player in a century, who gets both of his cards in this set. Bat him, pitch him, or do both in the same game.
Relive the 2018 World Series
The 108-win Red Sox against the Dodgers — including Game 3, the longest World Series game ever played: 18 innings, seven-plus hours, ended by a Max Muncy walk-off. Boston took the title in five. Replay it batter by batter, manage either side, or run the Series a few dozen times and see whether Los Angeles can find the two more wins that history didn't give them.
A Cards and Dice Baseball Game
