Are modes like Diamond Dynasty legitimately well received by fans?

Re: Are modes like Diamond Dynasty legitimately well received by fans?

I guess I am just curious...are the same people who are blaming Diamond Dyansty for the lack of updates to Franchise Mode also upset at the updates to Road to the Show?

Both DD and RttS get more play than Franchise, according to SDS telemetry data. And, as we've seen, RttS got a pretty significant amount of updates and attention from the devs this year. But DD takes a vast majority of the blame as to why more updates haven't come to Franchise mode.

I play all three modes (Franchise is the area I spend most my time), and I am fine with the updates SDS has provided to all of them. So I'm just wondering why RttS doesn't get the heat that DD does.

Well rtts has been around since the inception of the series. Its been a bread and butter just like franchise has been for years in the show.

This is the same thing I assumed as well...that it's because RttS is a long-time mode that's been a part of the game for years.

The other thing I can think of is that RttS can be transferred from year to year, just like Franchises...that is huge. I think the biggest knock on DD is that it's a one year at a time thing...you can't bring your 17 DD team over to 18.

As we are approaching the release of the game I find myself reflecting back to my very first computer baseball game, when things like game modes were never an issue

Micro transactions are a factor in which modes the developers spend the most time on. Franchise isn't selling card packs or stubs.

They only thing I like about DD is the ability to create you own team/logo/uniforms and I'd like to see that added to franchise. I suspect the fact a few DD users might become franchise users and stop buying card packs etc is a factor in why franchise doesn't get some of these things.

Is that micro league baseball? Wife and I were organizing the garage last year and I came across a copy of that. We would have done back flips back then for a game this good. To a great extent the complaints - and I'm guilty of it - are because we have become spoiled.

I think it is World’s Greatest Baseball game, which I played a ton on my C64. And that was long after playing Intellivision Baseball.

My favorite C64 baseball game was the original Hardball.

Yeah, we’ve come a long ways.

It was actually Star League baseball on the Commodore 64
