I was worried too but this sounds awesome. Even better than last year. I wonder if you can literally challenge ANY team? that is so hype, I love the feature and how it uses tendencies. Hype 2 the max.

I also saw in the videos on the Play menu there is a Play vs CPU option which I think is something separate. Perhaps you can play versus real MLB teams with your DD team as well?

Same as before, yes.

Wait, could we not challenge specific teams last year? I thought I did that a few times.

I haven't gotten into DD till very late and Maybe I'm doing it wrong but I only see 4 teams I can pick at any time. It seems like he's saying you can play anyone on the leaderboard in extra innings, or at least its my guess/wish. You can't do that currently can you?

I am pretty sure you can challenge any MLB team in '15. I think it is a great feature because it eliminates the lag from online games (like extra innings).

This is like fantasy baseball but playable as a video game.

I love the concept...I didn't play it last year but I think I'll get into it this year now that a lot of loopholes/cheese stuff has been addressed.

Yeah I saw that tweet too and was a bit puzzled because it sounded just like what Extra Innings is now. It allows you play against any team listed on the Leaderboard - which is basically any team. You can also play against MLB teams now. Perhaps they renamed Extra Innings to one of those other two new modes and added an extra twist or something. We'll see.
