Very good question.
I'm not sure.
metal134 knows the answer though. He read the Amazon description.

See what I mean. I am a villan. I didn't realize that years of good standing with people could be destroyed with one simple observation. I don't feel as though what I asked was a big deal.

Will do. I don't mean to get bent out of shape, it just seemed like a logical question.

...and nobody is making you out a villain(not that I read)...

But while the description on Amazon hinted at the mode....IMO I don't see it as a correct description of the mode.
Not entirely.
If you see that.....more power to you.
Yes....some aspects of it are definitely revealed in that description. But very "on the surface" stuff.

So anyone in the know..... will we have access, to say the future/fantasy stadiums for this mode? Or will we be playing all of our games on the road. Even though we are giving our team a home city but no home park to play in.....

To me this just sounds like a really kick rear end type of expansion mode like from asb series... so we would have to have home stadiums to play in...

also does this mode also include team schedules??? like we would be playing a season with it or what... cause if so are we also able to choose what league and div we put our teams into???

One big concern I see with this mode is quitters... Will people who leave a game be given a loss and their opponent credited for a win?

Even in online games like NHL, there are a lot of people who quit if you are beating them badly and that's only a game that lasts about 20 to 30 minutes. I can only imagine people won't want to stick around for a 9-inning baseball game if they are getting drubbed. I actually hope there is a "concede" button of some sort... So you can quit a game without being penalized by simply giving your opponent the win.

I personally will be doing this mode STRICTLY off-line. Until they allow us to set up the game how we do off line online i will not be playing online...

i want the options to use auto def, base running, no throw meter, to bat and pitch from cameras of my choosing, etc etc... thank god this mode is playable off-line... cause if not it would be a waste for me...

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

Seems there was some confusion about cards vs. players.

Think of it this way - Cards are like an injured list or a minors system (that does not progress). They are tucked away only to be used or traded when you would like. Players don't lose service time because they are not a player yet - they are a physical card. You have to "activate" the card for this to become an actual player.

THEN, you have your 40 or so players - 25 are active and available and these are the players you choose to play. If they are eligible to play in a game, they are deducted one game of service time.

One question that comes to mind talking this out are how are Starting Pitchers handled? I can only assume there's a rotation that keeps track of starts. I didn't spend much time with the mode, but now I can't recall if we discussed how they would be handled. It doesn't make sense if you have Lincecum in your rotation and he gets deducted a point if he doesn't pitch..... Hmm...

Late to the party but could diamond dynasty be used to make college teams and ncaa type divisions and tournament?

I believe you can already use your own batting and pitching camera online. The fielding option, I'm not sure of... Control schemes are selectable too. Then there's "Play Now Plus":

MLB 12 The Show: Online Everywhere, Unified Settings, Play Now Plus

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/01/18/mlb-12-the-show-online-everywhere-unified-settings-play-now-plus/

For years there’s been somewhat of a line between the online areas of MLB The Show and the rest of the game...sometimes that line was faint, sometimes it was distinct. Coming into the development of MLB 12 The Show, we really wanted to eliminate that line so this lead to the idea of Online Everywhere. [...]

Someone asked before about stat tracking, I'd be curious to know the answer as well. That was something that drove me nuts about Madden Ultimate Team, no players stats at all.

You do choose a home field that you do get to play in. I'm not sure how the home team is decided in match ups though. If it's challenger or just random.
No schedules....as this is match mode.
It's not a custom franchise/season mode in that respect.....the standings are by SCEA. We never got to see how that's going to work.....like divisions by record or game played....

Good question. I'm guessing it's going to be like the online league penalties.

It's not a custom franchise mode. It's matches....so there is no real set schedule. You can play as many or as few games as you like within the "seasons"(I believe they are setting a time limit(days/weeks(2 maybe) that represents a season.) This was all still being ironed out when we left so we don't know how it's going to be set exactly.
While the mode is playable offline....I think that only really gets you new stadiums to play in(by matching up against the real MLB teams) I don't think you're ranking changes by that ...nor do you train your guys playing offline(THIS...I'm not sure of.....I thought Ramone mentioned this though)

Not in the way you are thinking. While you can recreate a team....you can't make it into a custom type season ....

This is a good question right now. I'm guessing yes since Ramone mentioned a DD HOF......so stats must be kept somehow.

OK I am going to ask about the logo editor.

Can someone go in depth with what we can do with the logos and uniforms?

Are we going to have different uniform types that we can choose from?

Can we create multiple logos?

Can we place a logo anywhere on the uniform?
____

Can we edit things like walk up music, player gear, etc for the generated players?

Also, (this is off topic) what about being able to pick one generated player as your "dynasty player" for next year? Like maybe he gets double or triple the time of play that a regular generic guy does when you designate him to be your "dynasty player", and once he retires you get to choose a different player?

Just a thought.

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

The mode sounds real interesting. Hopefully the logo creator isn't too hard, but hopefully it's not gonna end up like EA sports custom logos where it's the same logos for 6+ years.

It does sound abit like a mix of HUT and the game mode on NBA The Inside.

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

I have a serious concern which hasn't been asked and hope someone in the know can alleviate it. I understand that card packs are completely locked in once you get them to prevent cheating. So no restarts.

But are we in any way locked into a certain team name and logo/uniform design once we set it? Or can we change those things at any time without penalty in our fictional franchise like the customization freedom your given with dynasty players?
