I’m sure it’s been answered already but is it possible to edit players equipment in diamond dynasty?

Re: The Show 18 Q&A Thread.

When watching a CPU vs CPU game in offline franchise mode, it it possible to change the camera or is it set on the one?

Does SP stamina progress this year? Last year it didn’t and 5 years in, you had MLB rotations full of 60 and 70 stamina SP. you had to edit the whole league manually to fix it, which was a killjoy.

I'd like to know this answer as well. I hope it has changed!

Hi guys, Im trying to figure out how to turn on Instant Trades in Franchise. I cant find where the setting is. Thanks.

When you start the franchise, you can't change it afterward.

Frame rate on PS4 Pro this year seems stable. It seems like they made major improvement in this area

Re: The Show 18 Q&A Thread.

Is anyone else noticing the theme music has not changed yet as everyone has exclamored about? I’m still hearing the old Show theme song in game between innings and pregame. Hopefully this isn’t a bug or something needing a patch.

But where exactly? When I start it gives me these options:

GM Contracts
Fantasy Drafts
Allow Legend Free Agents
CPU Roster Control
-CPU Trading
-Ignore Budgets
Force Trades
Designated Hitter

But nothing about Instant Trades where you don't have to wait a few days to have the offer accepted or declined. Thanks.

That music is assigned to Theme 1 broadcast. Theme 2 is new music.

Haven't played the Show in a few years, but I always used classic pitching/timing hitting.

I remember we used to have debates about classic pitching and holding down the button for more "oomph" as opposed to just tapping the button.

Is this still the case?

Aren't all trades instant now?

Re: The Show 18 Q&A Thread.

Ive noticed a few people saying they love the new SOTS broadcast music. What exactly do people mean by this? I have used SOTS ever year the game has had it. And I have always been able to use FOX or ESPN or whatever music in between innings or to start a game. So just a bit confused

Thanks guys!

Re: The Show 18 Q&A Thread.

Questions about some of the impressions I've picked up:

-Pitching is harder....meaning what and which interface(s)? Are pitchers showing less command? More balls down the middle? Etc..

-Hitting is easier...again, which interfaces, what is meant? Trajectories better so "easier" to get quality hits? Easier to make contact? Wider timing window? Etc..


And some other questions:

-With the new catcher responsiveness, how are base runners handling it on auto/CPU baserunning? Are they just holding up more because the catcher can get to the ball/smother it better?

-New tagging, has it made the positive difference in the field as was hoped? Plays look better, play out better, etc?

-I've read about pitch speeds, are they slower (hope not...)?

1. I haven't personally found pitching any harder, but this could change based on the interface. I'm pitching on HoF Pulse, just like last year.

2. I think the big difference this year is that the precision engine has been tuned up higher then it was in previous seasons, and that leaves the impression that hitting is "easier". Using directional, I know that in previous years, using a pull swing on an inside pitch right on the edge and timing it well still only got you good results about 1/6th of the time (assuming league average attributes). Now, I feel like league average will get me hammering those pitches about half the time.

3 and 4. New fielding animations have been compensated with slightly faster runners. Runners always felt too sluggish compared to their real life counterparts in the past, so this all feels a lot more natural IMO.

5. I actually am one of the few people who doesn't think pitches are slower. I think they just appear slower in peoples minds eye due to this year having a much better and more stable frame rate. The ball looks much better and is much easier to follow, from the pitchers motion all the way through, and that gives it the appearance of being slow.
