    Re: MLB 14 The Show Blog - Diamond Dynasty Extra Innings

    Not really something I'm interested in but I'm sure others will like this feature.

        Not my cup of tea, waiting for the more interesting ones like RTTS and presentation.
        1458, not counting playoffs, that's the number of games in a row I haven't missed! Go Yanks!

          I'm not trying to be negative, just to be negative but hopefully the reponses so far in this thread will show that they'll need to make some changes in this mode to garner more interest. I realize it's a small sample size and there are those who enjoy it and find things like "bonus rewards" fun, but I think the way it is now is just too restrictive to invest a lot of time in. I'm sure there are those who disagree and that's fine. But for me no thank you.

            What do you find restrictive about the mode?

              Any ideas to make it better? Russell_SCEA posts a suggestion thread every year for Diamond Dynasty in that forum.

              I'm really excited for this, although I already like Diamond Dynasty.

                1. Not being able to import logos
                2. Not being able to edit attributes
                3. Not being able to create a league of however many teams I choose and then be able to play one of those teams against another in an offline setting
                4. No player lock feature for DD

                Those are just a few. Nitpicking? Maybe.

                Look, I completely understand that the mode was not designed for these features. I get the fact that editing attributes isn't possible for online games because people would have all their players rated 99. If I were to use it it would be offline games so it's different for me

                Like many others I would love to see a create a team where we can do the things I mentioned. To me DD is a Create a Team but not really. It serves the purpose it was designed for and that's fine. I just wish it was designed differently.

                    What you want is a create a team/league or expansion mode. DD is not meant to be that. It's more of an Ultimate Team mode. They are working towards it tho, and I've personally suggestions to further improve the mode. If you look at the big picture, this really is a jump in the right direction for this mode which is only on its third iteration. I could here the outcry now if the community thought they spent too many resources improving this mode.

                    True, lol. We've talk about a possible solution that I hope will eventually be implemented, sooner than later. I think the logo creation tool is more than sufficient (without needing import) in the hands of the right people. ;-)

                      Man that's good.

                      You are great at editing those.

                        I think what would be great is to have a Logo Vault where you have user created logos as well as Dev created logos available for use.

                        I agree the creator is not easy for everyone.
                        I have a decent understanding of PhotoShop which helps, but even then its tough. I think the average person just gives up.

                            Looks like they've invested a lot more time in DD. For me, this is disappointing Im not a fan of the feature at all.

                              If it was similar to how Forza did it, that would be ok. But you risk losing individuality between the teams if you can import others' work. I honestly would not want to put my logo out there since I wan't my team to look distict from every other team in DD. There are a lot of teams.

                              I agree there needs to be an easier way to create simple logos, expecially text. Having to use a stamp system, for text sucks. You should be able to type in Bananas, pick a font, change it to yellow and done. You can have a jersey made with Bananas in yellow accross the chest in a few minutes.

                              My main complaint is that there needs to be a way to import the previous year's logo into DD. There should be a way to access your logo which is stored server side somewhere in MLB 14, 15 and beyond. I spend a lot of time on my logos and even having a way to import the logo as one flat layer would be enough.

                              This is the logo that shows up on theshownation.com so they have the ability to flatten as a PNG, lower the resolution, and have it stored on a server, in this case Amazon's.




                              If they could just let you import a flat image such as this, but at the original resolution, then it would solve the headache of having to recreate your team each year.

                                I have no clue how Forza does anything, but I dont see it as being that big of a deal.
                                How many DD teams out there now use stock DD logos from the creator and do nothing to them but slap a name on them?

                                I know for a fact that you would have some people that would enjoy making logos just to share with the community.

                                Even if those logos were just black & white and required the DLer to add color and a name.
                                That would give them individuality and not require TOO much effort in creating a logo.

                                As far as saving your logo for next year, isnt that part of the point of the MLB14 YTY Saves?
