I don't fault SDS for realizing what their money-making modes are and investing heavily in them, but at some point I worry this title just becomes about mini-game modes and spending as little time as possible playing actual simulation baseball games. With max'ing time accessorizing and grinding and getting caught up in these mini-modes like fly paper becoming the new past time.



For those of us Franchise mode players who've seen all the progress they've made on DD over the previous 3-4 years--and it's really a stark, striking difference with how much depth and complexity they've pumped into it--it's really a bit frustrating to think what could be if they spent even a fraction of that on Franchise mode. It seems like they've got 10-15 guys working on DD and 1 or 1.5 on Franchise, with one of them spending seemingly half of his time on DD as well.



I am also a bit concerned they might be getting too cute with fielding. For example, watching the Ted Williams blooper reel at 1B in the stream before this one was way over the top. Now, if their strategy for separating tiers of fielders is making worse fielders take a billion extra tiny steps, that could feel game-y. And if they're doing this only to make sure cheesy DD players don't play their guys out of position and it's affecting us off-liners in the process, then people will resent that.


Please online is there baby

I wish I could get into DD, but when I hear or read someone talking about it, my eyes just glaze over. I don’t get it, I don’t like it or play it... is something wrong with me? What am I missing?
I also could never get into MUT.

Re: MLB The Show 18 Diamond Dynasty Twitch Stream Starting Now

The defensive tiers look potentially very cool though it seems like something that would require a lot of balancing and since they're putting it in last minute I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up kind of janky in 17. Then it comes back strong in 18 with more balanced tiers being applied to all positions.

Re: MLB The Show 18 Diamond Dynasty Twitch Stream Starting Now

I’ll admit I do like DD, but some of the tactics employed in online play are laughable. I would love if they enabled balks for online play. Constantly having to face pitchers who never come to a full stop while pitching from the stretch was annoying.
