Re: MLB 12 The Show Trailer - Diamond Dynasty

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.

I was kinda bummed that being online would be a requirement for DD, but I understand that's where the competition would be fun as well.

All this time I was assuming DD could be played entirely offline if a user so chooses. Perhaps, all your team info are stored in the dedicated server, so even if you only play against CPU, those info must be stored and fetched from it, thus needing online. If that's the case, it's basically an online only mode.

can't believe this is the crap they are pushing. do they not know their audience? I'm sure most of us would have strongly preferred a expansion team mode, instead of a crappy facebook game you pay money to play.

I'm confused.
Could you point out to us where it says you have to pay anything to play?
I can't find it.
Thanks.

You don't have to pay $$$ to play if you don't want to.

A full-featured franchise is good stuff as always, but I think DD is great in that it actually condenses the "essentials" (like training, seeing players grow/diminish, etc.) of franchise into a mode that's playable in a shorter time.

My only concern is having to play any random player online.

I love how the seasons r short... I am hoping they track career stats including there stats from each her. I wonder if u can play a five inning game...still lots of questions about this mode. Hopefully the blog will come out soon.

I think it's full nine inning games.
I wish we(CD guys) had more answers on this...but they were really crunching it when we were there and it wasn't fully playable for us yet at the time.

This is one of the main pillars to the mode. A lot of people don't want to play 162 game seasons or sim games.

This mode will at least give me something to do while Minor League Rosters are being worked on.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Trailer - Diamond Dynasty

Yeah I'm with Scott, anything to pass the time until then. This and RTTS will be good for that and just fun

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.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Trailer - Diamond Dynasty

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?

This point in the video shows that there will be a "Location Audio" and a "Name Audio".

I wonder if the audio is only available for predefined set of locations/nicknames, or there is some sort of speech capability with which you can make them pronounce mostly anything.

We will have feedback threads for people to submit team names, locations, art pieces, etc....... in a week for MLB 13.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Trailer - Diamond Dynasty

I must say one thing, and I know nothing can be done about this but...I'm REALLY not looking forward to playing the "$wAg BOIZZ" and the "ReAl GaNgStAz".

I wish all the names had to be higher quality. Wishful thinking though.
