Amazon has leaked out some of the MLB 12 The Show Diamond Dynasty details.

Diamond Dynasty - Manage your very own fully customizable MLB team online. Challenge and beat CPU controlled MLB teams to recruit MLB stars for your team, and compete against other users customized teams for development points.

Does this mode interest you?

So then it is similar to Madden's Ultimate Team ooor no? Sounds interesting regardless.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Diamond Dynasty Details, Revealed by Amazon?

wow....hate to be a Debbie Downer, but how is this anyway different than EA NHL 12 "Hockey Ultimate Team?"

For those who Havent played:

You started with a custom team, you could edit jerseys, sign players based on the amount of "pucks" you earned from playing CPU, Players and playoff modes. Signed contracts, dealt with injuries, chemisty it is very in depth.

This sounds like an exact ripoff....sure it might have better, more in depth features hopefully, but this in no way "never before done in a sports game" that was a laughable statement. Very disappointing....

Dont get me wrong this is an awesome mode for Baseball, but acting like they had this huge secret to revolutionize online Sports mode...and its nothing new at all is whats upsetting.

The description there is a little vague, but yeah, it sounds like an EA Sports Ultimate Team type of game mode.

Definitely sounds like there is a fantasy sports aspect to it. We will find out more soon...

Re: MLB 12 The Show Diamond Dynasty Details, Revealed by Amazon?

Almost what I proposed. I think it would be cool if you steal other teams' players when you beat them though.

I wouldn't put it past Amazon to have the correct information for this. It sounds about like what it probably would be anyway.

Just going to play a bit of devil's advocate, but when did they come up with Hockey Ultimate Team? Maybe what SCEA meant (though it isn't what was quoted in an article, but we've read misquotes before) is that when they came up with the idea and began implementation, no other sports game before it had made this kind of mode haha.

Yeah it came out NHL 11, 12 just added a whole lot more (Injuries, Offline mode where you could play other users team similar to your rank, few other things) I think Madden has something similar also.

I am super excited for this mode, and playing NHL Ultimate Team I wished it was in the Show (now it will be lol) just feel like they seriously trolled people for marketing purposes to an extent

Going on for months saying we cant reveal anything BUT they would say stuff like: "Never before done in a sports game online, will change the way we view sports gaming online" etc stuff like that.

If they would have just came out and announced it I would have felt pure excitement rather than disappointment from being promised something potentially amazing and never seen before....clearly its not.

If Ramone doesn't come on here and deny this, does that mean it's confirmed?

Probably.

And while I agree w/ others that this is definitely not anything new, I will still be excited for it. I love baseball above and beyond all other sports, so I will probably use this game mode way more than I have in NHL or Madden.

Has it been long enough for him to even notice this thread?

Re: MLB 12 The Show Diamond Dynasty Details, Revealed by Amazon?

Regardless, it's a good mode to have online!

Looks like Blzer's earned his chicken dinner, huh?

Don't worry about "have never done before" thing... I've proposed a few remarkably innovative, never been done before modes in Blzer's thread. jk


I'm still curious how the trading aspect gets done. Do we have to deal with the same players? Or are all players generated?

In any case, certainly makes me more interested in playing online again! Good mode...

Re: MLB 12 The Show Diamond Dynasty Details, Revealed by Amazon?

Heres the thing... dont want to start a feud but, the NHL series and even Madden are fluid online, The Show not soo much... due in large part to how critical timing is in baseball. Some people can get past the online hiccups I cant personally, but hey maybe MLB 12 will be smoothed out more, it does get better online every year but it just hasnt compared to how well it is offline, if it was seemless between the two than yeah this could be great.
