MLB 12 The Show Trailer - Diamond Dynasty

Re: MLB 12 The Show Trailer - Diamond Dynasty

I don't really see the appeal of this. In my opinion, they could have done the same amount of work and spent time developing a "CREATE A TEAM" mode for use in franchise, etc...or an "Expansion" mode where you enter the majors and have to go through the process of building a brand new organization...These would have been FAR BETTER options, in my opinion. I doubt this mode will have any staying power amongst serious users of this game. Sure, people are excited now...but in three months, I doubt many of you will be playing this mode. And in 2 weeks, all we will be seeing is complaints on the forum about how many glitches there are.

I think the attraction to a lot of people will be that it is a fast moving mode that is always evolving. It is set up in such a way where it will not allow it get stale.

That's just, like, your opinion, dude.

I'm a serious user, and I'm planning on playing this. As a matter of fact, as someone who rarely, if ever, plays online, this is a nice compromise. I can progress through this without playing others online, but I have the choice to do so if/when I feel like it. And with the seasons so short and the constant turnover of players, it will a nice thing to play when I need a break from my franchises.

Not sure if you fully understand the mode, but if you aren't playing online you can't do much in the way of progressing in the mode.

Correct me if I'm wrong anyone, but from what I gather, in offline you are playing real-life MLB teams and with the only benefit being the ability to be able to use their team stadium (although perhaps you get some budget from this as well).

I don't believe you play ranked games and move up/down the season leaderboards if you don't play online, and probably don't even have stats accumulate. So in essence, while the mode can be played somewhat offline, it is largely an online mode.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Trailer - Diamond Dynasty

This looks so enticing that the only reason I'm now looking to start a franchise mode is because I will have the Vita version of this game lol.

Does anyone know if Matty V. will say your team name at all? Like will they have an audio database of teams which he can say? Or will we just be called by our city or something?

Also, the ratio for fake players to MLB players is pretty high, so I see where the investment comes in... but it will still be sad to see them go haha. My only problem is my investment will be in editing the guys from their faces to everything else, so if I wanted to create myself, for example, I would be spending hours on myself only to get him for so long before I have to say goodbye.

Ah well.

Same here, wish we could upload a pic and the game makes the face based on that picture. Ah maybe on the ps4

Yeah, but you'll have forty games with these players. That is a great deal of time to have with at least the position players.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Trailer - Diamond Dynasty

My 2 cents on Diamond Dynasty:

Say what you will about it, but they finally gave the players the ability to customize their team. I think that's a breakthrough on the devs' part. I am looking to seeing what they can do for next year's game (i.e. user ability to create custom seasons, single/franchise mode with custom teams). The more I see from The Show's developers in terms of customization, the more I get excited. To me, The Show can deliver a complete baseball simulation experience than any other video game or text-based baseball game on the market.

The more I see and read of this mode, the more intriguing it sounds. Looking forward to trying this new mode out next week!

Just put a plug-in on Uni Watch about the uniform and logo creator in Diamond Dynasty.

It's like HUT. I'm not interested.

Huh, that's not how I understood it. I know unlocking stadiums is one benefit of playing real MLB teams, but I thought you also got funds, etc. I don't personally care about leaderboards so much, but I don't see why that would keep stats from being accumulated. I guess I'll just have to start playing it and see how it goes.

Now I'm just going by the video here, but it looks like there is a base number of credits that you can earn by beating MLB teams, and then some extra depending on how good they are. Although Russell confirmed that you have to be online to play the game, I don't think you ever have to play an opponent online to enjoy the mode.
