I never touch DD but conquest seems pretty cool, I'll play around with the that until OSFM releases!

Did he mean you have to play on all star or higher? or that you will eventually have to play on Legend? that would kind of sour me on what looks like a lot of fun. Legend is mind numbingly frustrating

I'm out on battle royal just because of the buy in. I like the concept but I don't want to have to pay stubs to play the mode hopefully they will drop the buy in pretty quick.

They give a pack for signing up so they won't drop the pay in otherwise people would just cheese it for the pack

No chance they drop the buy in. Otherwise people would just play a game for a free pack over and over. 1,500 stubs with a guarantee of a 1,000 stub pack isn't bad. Plus it looks like you get a reward after each game and more bonuses after 2,5,etc. wins.

I think it depends on the fan count of each team. In the video, it was 6 million vs 6 million so the difficulty is in the middle at all-star. I'm assuming if you had less fans then the CPU, you have to play on HOF or Legend. If you have more fans, you could play on rookie or veteran. I'm guessing there is are thresholds that determine the difficulties you can choose from.

Battle Royale seems interesting, but how can you eventually use those 'hard to earn cards' after winning a BR? I like the draft idea, but hope teams can't easily become stacked (again) with those cards. Maybe they are only used in other modes or to be sold?

I don't like the 3 inning games as it allows too much randomness to impact a winner instead of the best player over a 9 inning game.

SCEA needs to remember that MLB is what brings people to their game, not the other way around, and people can play role playing games in far better game offerings. This game is trying to be everything all at once, and that often times leads to mediocrity. Be great at what's made you--simulating MLB baseball.
