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

[tanchl]

I would have liked seeing Legends instead of or alongside real players. Couple that with access to more classic stadiums and a stadium creator, oh boy.

Presumably you could edit Dynasty players to resemble Legends...

I really hope that this mode is like ultimate team from madden. Where you can buy packs and complete collections. Also i would love if you win cards from specific achievments. Anyone have an idea if any of this stuff is in hear?

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

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.

All DD players (Both Dynasty and MLB) have all lifetime stats + current season stats (at my time of departure anyway).

You can compare your stats to the entire league or just that position. You can view any other teams/players stats as well. Players can even win seasonal and lifetime awards (Cy Young, MVP, etc)

One thing nobody's mentioned is a players Fan Rating. As players have big games and gain a fan following (poor performances can lose Fan Rating), starting that player makes each game more valuable. For example (using totally made up numbers) if you have 2 SS's - one a grizzly vet who's played his fair share of games and is near retirement, and the other a young rookie you've just activated from card form to player but has HUGE upside. Your vet may have a 90+ fan rating while your rookie may only have a 5 fan rating. This means that your vet may bring 5mil to the pool and your rookie may only bring 20k - there is an obvious advantage to playing and sticking with your vets until your rookies are ready!

At the same time, keeping your young stud active for timely hitting, or maybe as a defensive replacement giving him the chance to gain some fan rating will benefit you as your vet retires. Using the money your vet makes you can train up your young guy and get him ready for his starting debut.

One other thing to keep in mind... This could have all changed or been removed between the end of Dec and now - so don't skin me alive if that ends up being the case!

There was a section in DD where you could collect cards for specific category collections. If you completed the category by getting those cards it would unlock some additional budget money.

Nope.
They totally changed all of that about 2 minutes after you walked out of the door for the last time.

It has been really strange waiting for the game to come out to see how it all finished up - I'm actually really excited for this MLB12 The Show to hit the stores so I can pick up a copy!

wait what? i thought it was a online feature so you can play against other people. If you can win mvp, cy young etc wouldn't you need to be in a league of a certain amount of people? And when you say "you can view stats from the entire league or just that position." what league are you talking about? If it is just versing cpu's and buying packs for using cpu's over and over again i am going to get very upset

So that means we have to get a budget and only increase that budget by buying packs and completing collections?

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?
____
.

I have some specific stuff on uniforms in my notes, I'll try and post in a bit what I took down.

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?

You can go into Team Customization and edit the logo/uniform design at anytime. Not 100% sure about changing the team name.

I don't know if they have been expanded on this, but your playing stats (like batting ave, ERA, etc.) have always been kept, which you can check against other online players (whom I presume constitute the entire online community, or maybe just within some playing level groups.). For example:

I assume it's something similar...
