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

is there an auction house?

No. The recycler is for trading your cards in for new cards to be unlocked into players. It's interesting ......but I can't remember the details. Nem fooled around with it while we were at CD....so maybe he can jump in with the finer details.

I don't lol

To curb cheating.....which could be a HUGE exploit if allowed.

Indeed. One only needs to look at a certain football subforum.

Was actually hoping the answer to this was no. I think the recycler as it's been described can handle "trades", so to speak.

Glad there's a focus on building from within.

Yep.

This would be a good idea. FIFA's UT has this and it's a good way to get rid of valuable players that you don't need/want.

I haven't seen this answered, so I almost cringe at the answer....but are you allowed to buy packs thru the PS Store? Or only with points/coins/whatever that you earn thru playing games?

You can buy packs with real money...you don't have to ....and while we didn't get details at CD.....I understand that buying packs doesn't give you a big advantage over just using your budget to get packs.....I don't know if there is a limit on it either. Maybe Ramone can answer that for us.

Thanks, just have to wait and see how that plays out. It sounds like budgets might curb the usefulness of people just buying lots of packs to get superstars. In FIFA UT, it really was whomever could buy the most packs had the best teams. The fun there was playing 2 star rated teams instead of open competitions due to this.

Regardless, looking forward to DD...who doesn't like collecting baseball cards?

You can put up cards for sale. They will also be monitored for gouging too!

Is it highest bidder like the auction house?

Sounds like not an auction, but just a sale. Owner puts a price and you either buy it or not. No bidding, etc. Correct?

I'm not sure.
I actually had forgotten about the sales.

It did not sound like an auction scenario. I remember them saying there was a suggested selling value that you could put the card up for. That is why they were going to monitor people to see if they were putting ridiculous prices on cards.

Im sorry if this is a stupid question but since they added this new game mode do you think it will be like madden where they sell a hardened edition and if you buy it you get like 5 or so rare cards?

I doubt it because in this mode you are not really looking for all these top tier cards, this mode is more about developing your team to compete.

Okay....yeah....there was going to be some sort of low ceiling for cards somehow(maybe according to overall?) to stop cheating. I vaguely remember that being discussed.
That's what you get for trying to do 3 things at once and watch someone else play a game as well!!

I really hope there is Legendary cards and really rare cards. That is what i love about cards games getting really rare/legendary cards!

Still would love to know how fatigue with pitchers works in this mode. Basically, is there something preventing me from developing a top tier starter, a reliever or two and a closer and then paying no mind to the rest of my rotation and bullpen. This would allow me to allocate more of my budget to the offensive side of the ball but still be lights out pitching because I only have to use 3-4 pitchers out of 11 or 12.

Can more than one person have the same nickname for their team? It would be nice if each team name had to be unique but I can understand why that would be bad.

There is stamina involved.. But I'm not 100% sure if it works like a regular franchise does. You can develop 3 or 4 great pitchers and pay no mind to the rest, that's your decision.. But eventually those 3 or 4 pitchers will be retired, every player has a shelf life. So you'll need to continue developing new pitchers to replace the ones on the way out. There is definitely a strategy involved. But I get what you're saying. I'm pretty confident you can't use the same starting pitcher 30 games in a row.

Good question..
