What Are Parallel Mods?
Mods are customizable attribute boosts unlocked through the PXP system. Unlike parallel bonuses which add a flat +1 to every stat, mods let you focus upgrades where they matter most — more contact for a leadoff hitter, extra K/9 for your closer, or a speed injection for a base-stealing threat.
Equipping a mod replaces the standard parallel boosts on that card. You can use either parallel boosts or a mod, but not both at the same time. Mods unlock when a card reaches a specific PXP threshold and, for Gold and Diamond tiers, meets additional stat requirements accumulated with that card in Diamond Dynasty games. Only one mod can be equipped per card at a time, but you can swap freely.
How Mods Work
Silver Mods
Unlock at Parallel I (500 PXP). Four options per position with modest boosts and no stat requirements. A quick upgrade while you work toward higher tiers.
Gold Mods
Unlock at Parallel III (3,000 PXP) plus stat milestones like hits, home runs, or strikeouts. Sixteen hitter options and nine pitcher options with meaningful boosts up to +10 in specialized attributes.
Diamond Mods
Unlock at Parallel V (10,000 PXP) with steep stat requirements. The biggest boosts in the game — up to +20 Speed/Steal or +10 K/9. These are endgame upgrades for cards you've invested serious time in.
