    Re: IGN Diamond Dynasty Trailer

    I like the look of this.

    The only thing I don't truly understand is the limitation of a dynasty players career, if he is available for only 40 games whats the incentive to level him up if you can't extend that career beyond that. Obviously if the cost of levelling isn't that high then its not a huge issue.

      40 Games is a lot when you remember that "seasons" last 5 games so to speak. Also you only get real MLB players for 10 games nothing more. 4-1 ratio isn't bad when you look at the cost vs. benefit analysis of dynasty players and real players.

        When you put it like that it makes more sense actually, by having such short seasons we still essentially get 6-8 "seasons" out of 1 guy. Thanks.

          What I seemed to take away from the trailer is that we can purchase stuff from the PSN store.

          Is that the only way, or is it similar to RTTS, where we can buy those things, but we can also obtain them by playing the game?

            You can buy card packs that's it. But these card packs are a complete roll of the dice you can't buy a platinum pack with 6 99 rated players. They are all random.

              Not sure if anyone has noticed this yet but, has the game switched to a Numbers-Based ranking system? (See the top right of each card)

                I did see that. I am assuming it is just for Diamond Dynasty. They still have the bars everywhere else. Unless, they have the bars AND the numbers for Franchise mode and what not. I would be very surprised if the number rankings were anywhere else besides in DD though.

                    Do we know which stadiums we can use as our home stadium is it minor leagues or spring training or only MLB stadiums?

                      This is very reminiscent of Ultimate Team in FIFA. I love the idea of this as I love Ultimate Team in FIFA but I worry about what lengths people will go to in order to get coins (or whatever Sony uses).

                      If I'm not mistaken, FIFA UT was the biggest reason for accounts getting hacked. I hope this doesn't happen with this.


                      My question is this, are prices fixed or is it a market (again , like FIFA) where there is fluctuation in prices?

                        Quick customizing question: Are we able to make scripts on our jerseys? I've just seen videos of the logo on one side. Just wondering if we can have the Team name or city scripted across the jersey.

                          This mode looks complicated.

                            I wonder I'd they keep career stats?

                              This thread is the icing on the cake for the game. Officially sold now! Can not wait to try Diamond Dynasty, however, there will a learning curve for it though. For me, combining this and RTTS is enough to keep my gaming attention for awhile.

                                You only see it for MLB players when they are in card form once they are activated you don't see it again.
