Re: Legends of the Show 15...

How could you screw that up, when they came out didn't it say it was for Diamond Dynasty?

I guess.. really kinda sad though.

Re: Legends of the Show 15...

Maybe Sony can take note from here on that people want Legends in future iterations. Kinda like what 2k does with Basketball. Not too much to ask.

But they need to go to everyone and ask to use their rights. So maybe that's why they haven't done it yet.

Re: Legends of the Show 15...

From what I've seen, Legends is for use throughout Show 15.
I'll see if I can find a link.

Re: Legends of the Show 15...

Why would anyone want virtual cards of Legends anyways? Should they not just put the actual legendary players that are on the virtual cards in the game?.. would it not be a waste if they didn't? What's the point?

Nope actually the complete opposite people would pay money in order to buy diamond dynasty money in order to pay for the packs they are in. Look at 2K15. They have done it that way with exclusive legends online.

I guess you have to "get" this Diamond Dynasty concept. It's not appealing to me, but to each their own. Now, give me more legends from which to choose, classic stadiums in which to play, and I'm first in line.

Yea I don't play I think I may have started a team but never played it at all.

Re: Legends of the Show 15...

Ya sure?
You do know the thing called skill does come into play at some pointy?.. And yes, Hank Aaron is one of the greatest.. but he is not Bonds.

I am praying your not saying Bonds is better than Hank Aaron.

Re: Legends of the Show 15...

Remember there will be 1 legend per team and all decades from 1940s to recent will be represented. So, no Babe Ruth, Cobb, Big Train etc..

Dodgers: Jackie Robinson? (Fernando Valenzuela if not Jackie?)
Giants: Willie Mays
D'Backs: Randy Johnson
Rockies: Larry Walker
Padres: Tony Gwynn

Cubs: Ernie Banks
Cardinals: Ozzie Smith (would prefer Bob Gibson or Stan Musial)
Brewers: Robin Yount
Pirates: Roberto Clemente
Reds: Pete Rose (lol, j/k) Johnny Bench/Joe Morgan (too close to call)

Mets: Keith Hernandez
Nats (Expos): Tim Raines
Braves: Hank Aaron
Marlins: Luis Castillo
Phillies: Mike Schmidt (would be fine with Steve Carlton)

Angels: Chuck Finley
Mariners: Ken Griffey Jr.
A's: Jose Canseco (lol, j/k) Rickey Henderson
Rangers: Nolan Ryan
Astros: Jeff Bagwell

White Sox: Nellie Fox
Twins: Kirby Puckett
Tigers: Al Kaline
Royals: George Brett
Indians: Bob Feller

Yankees: Mickey Mantle
Red Sox: Ted Williams or Yaz
Orioles: Cal Ripken Jr. (would prefer Brooks Robinson)
Blue Jays: Roberto Alomar
Rays: ummm Greg Vaughn? Rocco Baldelli? Rolando Arrojo?


One thing is clear--one player from each franchise is not enough. I think they'll also shy away from players who had significant careers with two or more teams.

Re: Legends of the Show 15...

For the Twins it would either have to be Kirby Puckett or The Killer. Just for the sake of previously being a legend in MLB 09 and MLB 10, one would have to think Harmon gets the nod. Can't go wrong with either though.

Dodgers: I would take Drysdale, Koufax or Herschiser over Fernando V.
Angels: I really liked Brian Downing, Can't go wrong with Finley though
Mets: Tom Seaver
Braves; Love Aaron, but also would love to see Warren Spahn
Astros: Bagwell/Biggio, flip a coin here
Twins: Rod Carew

-I think maybe Fernando Valenzuela just because it would be a fun addition and, demographically, would be strategic for The Show. I don't think he is the Best Dodger since 1940 (not in the top 5), but not every legend needs to be the absolute best. They should mix it up. It still SHOULD be Jackie Robinson, though. All due respect to Koufax, Duke Snider, Gil Hodges, Roy Campanella, Drysdale, Orel Hershiser, Steve Garvey, Piazza, etc..

-I think they go with Finley just because it's hard to get enough pitchers. Most of the very best players are hitters. Nolan Ryan makes sense for about 3 or 4 teams, but I think the Rangers because he wore the TEX logo on his HOF plaque. I wouldn't rule out Tim Salmon either for the Angels.

-Yeah, I like your Tom Seaver idea over my Keith Hernandez. Good call.

-Spahn would be great, too (ditto Eddie Matthews or Dale Murphy). I think most would rather have the *true* home run king in though.

-Yeah, it should be Biggio or Bagwell. Dark horse, unlikely candidates being Mike Scott, Nolan Ryan, and one of my fave players from the 80s Glenn Davis.

-I don't think it'll be Carew. He did great things for both the Angels and the Twins, but I think it's really doubtful he would beat out both Kirby Puckett and Harmon Killebrew. I think Carew has a better chance with the Angels, but most of his best years were with the Twinkies.

Re: Legends of the Show 15...

Some teams like Yankees, Dodgers, even the pirates with Stargell, Dave Parker, Bill Madlock etc.. have alot to pick from and you really can't argue who they go with.

It's fun to debate this! Love talking about the older players!

Re: Legends of the Show 15...

Since there are 30 legends, I think it would be awesome if they chose them in a way to make 2 full 25 man teams out of them. So we can play a game with AL Legends vs NL Legends. I would love that considering I don't play DD and I'm not interested using legends in Franchise.

Has this been mentioned to be included?
