SCEA should find a way to integrate RTTS salary with the Universal Rewards Stubs. The higher your in game salary the more stubs you get. No so much that it throws things out of whack but just a little something something for your effort.

That way getting offered a huge contract in the game will mean something because it has actual ramifications.

That is actually not a bad idea. In the past once I got onto a team I liked in RTTS I would give them a bargain basement price. They would offer me 20 million and I would take it down to 1 million since I figured it left the team more money for quality players to surround me. There just was not a lot of incentive to worry about salary.

I ALWAYS did this exact same thing. Not that it really mattered, CPU AI for roster management and free agency was so weak I don't think it actually helped them sign better talent.

But we need some sort of incentive to actually consider the highest offers instead of just picking a team when you become a free agent.

Ok, so are we looking at the next twitch on Tuesday or Thursday again? And anyone know what it's gonna be on?

Watched just now and I can say diamond dynasty may have gone from a mode I never played to most played. I am super excited for it now. It really looks amazing.

I may have missed this but what can you do in DD beside the extra innings?
Is there challenges, seasons, just head to head?

Any word on 60fps all across the board (replays, cutscenes)?

When you recycle your cards to feed you star DD player. Does that remove the selected card from the overall team collection, the one you build up to get the legend? That could really make you choose when or what you want to "feed" to your player or try to hang on to it to finish the team cards..

I believe they disappear for good

As one who can't afford a PS4 yet, I really wish they would specify which features are not on the PS3 version, as that's the one I'm getting. I know the fact sheet mentioned stuff, but some things weren't quite clear and some things were ambiguous. For example, at one point it said necklaces were in both, but then later on said they're only in the PS4.

Looked like one style.

... Regardless, it's a major improvement over the years past. No more catchers sporting ''beer bellies'' or turtle-shaped chest protectors. They all looked like weighing 300 pounds! And the straps looked to be more fitting too. I have been asking this for years. Another issue in the last couple years has to do with the wrong shade of blue on Blue Jays uniforms. Let's hope this has finally been rectified.

I've never been able to get into Diamond Dynasty mode. I'd rather just do a fantasy draft and save on all the time of trying to level up to get great players. Creating your logo is cool, but takes way too long if you aren't artistic.

Added baserunner wrist guard, but left out baserunner batting gloves....smh

Still the player edit options look great.
Neon colors, which as they said, really became popular last year
Longer/Wider wristbands and tape
Gloves
Catcher Equipment

All of this looks awesome, but its one small gripe.

Last year the Blue Jays blue was much more realistic, but maybe that was only on the PS4? I thought it looked pretty good last year but like I said I had the PS4 version so maybe it couldnt change for PS3.

I did have a couple of questions about what I saw in the Diamond Dynasty section.

1. No picture for Allen Craig?

2. Allen Craig at 2b? I looked at his history and he only has 42 innings played at 2nd base and has not played the position since 2011. Just seemed like a strange choice for the AI to put him at 2nd.
