MLB 14 The Show Blog - Diamond Dynasty Extra Innings

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

When the AI controls your team, it utilizes the new Universal Profile Tendency Tracking system to replicate your play style. Whether you run a lot on the base paths, play a lot of small ball, or pepper the strike zone, other players will get a good sense of your on-field personality even when you’re not behind the controller. Click here to check out the full Dev Blog – New Universal Profile and Stubs. It’s worth noting that when the AI controls your team, your players do not accrue stats or lose games and your dynasty only stands to benefit financially.

This part reminds of Forza 5's drivatar system. I like the idea. Ive never played much of diamond dynasty due to spending tons of time with my franchise, but I may give it a whirl this year.

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

Yes. I wasnt referring to MLB13.
As far as Im concerned, MLB13 no longer exists and has no bearing on future titles.

My point was that it should.

People spent hours making their logos and teams in MLB 13 and there are surely users now that either

Do not want to remake their logo and will go with something less complex/unique.

And those who find the process too tedious and do want to engage in the mode in MLB 14.

It makes the mode more a of a tedious endeavor than any other mode in the game and I can see why there are people who complain about the process. I am not going to play DD on the PS3 version of MLB 14, even if you could import your logo I'm not going to spend time on the mode when a new community and leaderboard arrives in a month+ on PS4. The logos should have been transferrable year to year by now, its a very long a tedious process for many to create their logos.

Maybe so, but we cant go back in time and discover the code to allow it.
All we can do is move forward from here.

I always have the best intentions of playing this mode but as soon as I get to the logo creation section its over!

The logos are not stored on the PS3 itself. If there was a way to import logos into MLB 14 and beyond it would likely be via The Show's servers. When you go into DD and load up your logo it has to hit a server in order to save changes and such. You can manually make a local save, but by default its all stored server side.

I'm not saying they should jump back into the MLB 13 code. I'm saying I am dissapointed this is not happening for MLB 14. If you look at posts in the past and current one of the main issues people have with the mode is the logo creation. Having an easier creator and the ability to use your logo in the future could really benefit the mode in getting some more users to try it out. I have the ability to create a new very detailed logo each year. But not everyone can so if users are dropping off because they don't want to deal with the one time logo creation then it hurts the mode as its contingent on many users playing it at the same time.

^^^ I dont get it.

It's a PS3 and it's sad and in the rain because you said it doesn't exist... Just a joke, I guess it missed it's mark...

But you still need the code that reads those MLB13 logos and translates them to MLB14.

Just like Rosters and CAPs. You could create and save them too. Save them locally, thru the cloud, in the vaults and even to your PC. But until this year, you were unable to transfer them to the next year.... because they either didnt have the coding to do it or never implemented it..

Now they do, so from here forward, we should be set on all file transfers and hopefully including DD logos.

For all we know, it could already be possible this year.
They havent said anything about logos yet one way or the other.

I said MLB13 was dead to me, not PS3.

Thats where the mark was missed.

You don't have to. That's what I've been trying to say. The game doesn't have to use the exact same logo data that is stored server side or local that the game reads. They export and display the logo outside of the game already. So I don't think its a stretch to think they could also export it out of MLB 12, 13, 14 via the server side data, and the just import a flattened one layer image into future versions. Its just an image file at that point.

If you are resticting it to local save file import/export than yes it is impossible to go back and make MLB 13 saves compatible with MLB 14, or MLB 14 compatible with MLB 13 saves at this point if they haven't done it this year. If that is the case than yeah, we have to move on from that dream. But I would gladly take a much lesser import option in the form of just a flattened one layer image.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see what they decide.

I hope I'm not misunderstanding the conversation. Anyways,I'm thinking they can't use flattened images in the game itself.

All of this online/dynasty stuff seems like fluff to me. Baseball fans are more about playing the actual game on the field. Give me perfect presentation, graphics, animations, weather, and commentary before any of the other gimmicky features.

Re: Dev Blog from TSN: Diamond Dynasty Extra Innings

This may be great news for some, but I was really hoping to see a blog about RTTS or offline franchise. I want to get the digital pre order and was hoping to see one of those before I pulled the trigger.

Uh didn't sony release an online franchise blog a few weeks ago?

He said offline franchise. They have not discussed that yet.
