MLB 12 The Show Video - Exclusive Look at Diamond Dynasty (GameTrailers)

[Tyler4]

I think the possibilities will be endless with the customizable options! I am wondering if you will only be able to create one diamond dynasty (like when you play online one file per psn username) or you can create multiple dynasties like franchise files. I can't wait to find out more about this feature, but I don't wanna make any assumptions until I see more.

I also really would like to see the ability to create your own stadiums. Maybe like a stadium vault? Or even the possibility of playing people's dynasties online in their created stadium. Example: making a stadium the opposite of Fenway Park but putting the Green Monster in right.

Don't quote me on that, as I didn't actually attempt to scroll over to the non-MLB parks... I just assumed they were there. Hopefully I didn't set us up for failure with that statement, LOL. I would never hear the end of it!

Hopefully it will all be verified soon.

Yeah I understand... Those stadiums were available for online games past years at least.... And it's a great opportunity for those not-so-frequently-used stadiums to see the light. You can only go so much (well very much) with 30 MLB stadiums... add a dozen more and you'll see a greater variety in gameplay.

....and it is even better than just that!!
Where is that blog!?


In speaking with the devs about this....while it's been talked about and fleshed out in some ways for 4 or so years.....this is the first year of actually developing it and implementing it....so I really believe that if this mode is used a lot and there is some good feedback on it to the devs from the community....this mode can be shaped into things we would love to see in it ....that might not be there in it's initial stage.(such as a uniform/logo vault for one)
Just my thoughts.

Lets hope so. I can't wait for this because I used to do all kinds of mods for MVP baseball back in the day and to a point I kind of miss it and I see this as
an opportunity to come up with some pretty cool ideas. Also what would be cool in the future if this is a hit, is to be able to add uniforms to teams. Like a sunday special, maybe an old school uniform from the past that isn't in the game already and whatnot.

Serious question and not meant to be critical, but why put years (according to Ramone) of effort into a separate mode to develop players, create teams, etc when many of us have been asking for this type of depth and integration into franchise mode?

It's not to say this mode won't be good on its own merit, but it seems it could hit more gamers and have more longevity as a group of features that could be used through various modes rather than a standalone mode. I guess I'm wondering what, in the view of SCEA, is the desired endgame for DD?

It's probably because "new and improved franchise mode" doesn't sell as well as a "brand new custom made Diamond Dynasty." Besides this, there have been improvements made to franchise mode as stated by the dev day guys.
