Some MLB 12 The Show Diamond Dynasty Details Have Arrived

[Steve_OS]

Amazon has leaked out some of the MLB 12 The Show Diamond Dynasty details.

Quote:

Diamond Dynasty - Manage your very own fully customizable MLB team online. Challenge and beat CPU controlled MLB teams to recruit MLB stars for your team, and compete against other users customized teams for development points.

Does this mode interest you?

So then it is similar to Madden's Ultimate Team ooor no? Sounds interesting regardless.

wow....hate to be a Debbie Downer, but how is this anyway different than EA NHL 12 "Hockey Ultimate Team?"

For those who Havent played:

You started with a custom team, you could edit jerseys, sign players based on the amount of "pucks" you earned from playing CPU, Players and playoff modes. Signed contracts, dealt with injuries, chemisty it is very in depth.

This sounds like an exact ripoff....sure it might have better, more in depth features hopefully, but this in no way "never before done in a sports game" that was a laughable statement. Very disappointing....

Dont get me wrong this is an awesome mode for Baseball, but acting like they had this huge secret to revolutionize online Sports mode...and its nothing new at all is whats upsetting.

The description there is a little vague, but yeah, it sounds like an EA Sports Ultimate Team type of game mode.

[HustlinOwl]

sounds like SEGA MLB online manager

[Stikskillz]

Definitely sounds like there is a fantasy sports aspect to it. We will find out more soon...

Almost what I proposed. I think it would be cool if you steal other teams' players when you beat them though.

I wouldn't put it past Amazon to have the correct information for this. It sounds about like what it probably would be anyway.

Just going to play a bit of devil's advocate, but when did they come up with Hockey Ultimate Team? Maybe what SCEA meant (though it isn't what was quoted in an article, but we've read misquotes before) is that when they came up with the idea and began implementation, no other sports game before it had made this kind of mode haha.
