MLB 13 The Show Blog - Diamond Dynasty Puts You In Control

[Perfect Zero]

I think the reason for not having expansion in franchise is because that would put the two leagues in odd numbers making scheduling and other things an issue. Relocation would also not work as the teams' identities are protected by Major League Baseball. Some day I would like to see a "create a team," but Diamond Dynasty is a nice trade off.

Which takes time and effort to get right, especially since they don't know what market to put it in. This isn't to mention the scheduling issues and having to make new divisions and a new playoff system. And again, this could be part of the image issue with the MLB license. Right now, it just seems too far out there to do right now.

I don't really like the idea of the expansion option. The amount of work it would take to get right wouldn't be worth it I feel.

Unless it was some form of a completely new mode. I wonder if a lot of people would want a sort of create your own franchise type of mode. Its the only way I'd see it justified to try and implement it. I wouldn't be that upset with an odd # of teams in each league, they could just randomize the schedules to make it fit and keep all the same rules in place with the playoff structure.

I feel like there were games where you could replace one of the teams with your own team. I don't know if that would be allowed now with their current agreement with MLB. I'd doubt it with all the weird restrictions we hear about.

So we can change the camera to any of the predefined cameras? The one reason I couldn't get into DD last year was that there was one camera angle for hitting and pitching and I was awful with it.

.... there was only one camera option in Diamond Dynasty last year, right?

Uh, no. You can use any of the camera angles that are already in the game. You just need to change it in your settings and it carries over to any online mode.
