I loved the gum that used to come in baseball card packs.

That gum had the consistency of a cracker, lol. You would bite it and it would shatter into a million pieces. I wonder how much ink I ingested eating all the gum when I was younger.

LOL, so true. But there was something about it that made you want more.
I LOVED the smell of opening new pack. And the cards even retained some of the smell as well.

Is card collecting even 'in' anymore?

Maybe with all these HUT, FUT, DD modes, the kids of this generation will start getting back into it.
My youngest loves looking through some of the old hockey cards I still have. Not sure if that'll stick though.

What I'm most worried about for this mode is the vast number of gameplay options that are available in the Show and how that might negatively impact people who don't play with defaults ...

For example, in MLB 11, I found the default pitch speed far too fast for me... I zero it out .... I assume slider adjustments won't be possible in Diamond Dynasty, so I'll have to adjust.

Also, I don't like to use guess pitch, but not using it when someone else is, will obviously create a disadvantage.

Likewise, I like to use the analog batting, but presumably people will still have the choice to play with just button-based hitting, and they will have an advantage in that respect.

You set up your online criteria in your settings. When you go online to play it will match you up with an opponent who has the closest settings. Obviously the more criteria you set up the harder it is to match you up. So I would put the things that are most important to you when playing an online opponent to match up with.

Cant we create multiple dynasties if we keep them off of online play? I know Russell said one per psn account but wasn't sure if that was just for the online play aspect.

I believe it is just one!

I've read the last few pages and did see these questions asked:

1. Is it possible to have duplicate players on the same team? Like if I buy two MLB packs and both of them improbably have Adrian Gonzalez.

You can only activate one of them. So you would either have to wait until the first Gonzo has been used up or recycle him from another player.

2. Will be able to able to edit our custom teams at any time after playing? If I get tired of being, say, the Jacksonville Horses I can decide to become the Tokyo Robot

Yup

Yup

Honestly this isn't a big deal to me because you just shelve the second Gonzo and it's basically like getting him for double the time. Just think of it as you signed him to a longer contract or something!

You should be able to sell the extra card as well.

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

Is there any chance we can export our diamond dynasty teams into the regular game to play regular exhibitions? Atleast the uniforms and the logos?


I'm planning on creating the Montreal Expos, so I think it would be cool if I could export them into exhibition mode and then load up a historic roster and play as them.


Also I see their is a hof and stats tracking, but is there going to be a list of teams from certain era's you had that has the roster listed?

For example let's say the first 20 games you play as one created team like the Montreal Expos then all of the players you had who came up through the system are getting old and retired. Then you decide to change the team to the Louisville Sluggers, would they're be a list to see all of the teams you created or to see the most successful teams you had?

Unfortunately, no. There is definitely hope and much potential for next year and beyond though.

I hope that makes its way in 13.
Same goes for uploading created uniforms to the vault.
Man the possibilities are endless and oh so exciting!

Is there any chance (and maybe this has been discussed already) that the demo will let us try this out?

Not sure but I would be surprised if you could even get into the mode on a demo.

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

I only ask because both Madden and NHL have had a playable demo of their Ultimate Team modes in the demos, and rewarded users with a bonus card(s) or pack(s).
