I don't want the stamina stuff (outside of pitching) or contract stuff in DD. It would only serve to punish the people who dont spend money. The people who stack their teams have studs on their bench too so it would just end up being mid 90's diamonds against low golds and high silvers which is even worse than an all gold lineup against all 99's.


What I would Like to see introduced is a matchmaking feature where your team was capped with some kind of salary or overall parameters. The only issue is that MLB the show isn't a game that sells 5 million copies + like the other big sports games so the userbase might be splintered to the point that it is difficult to find an opponent.

And for the captain mission example they give that's really underwhelming. A roster full of players 6'3" or taller? Can't we have them be relevant to baseball.. like a roster full of players with 80+ contact vs righty or a roster full of players with 80+ speed. Anything would be better than some silly height stat. I'm just sad that there aren't any restrictions/playlists to really bring out the management feeling of the game, but I'll still be playing every single day

To me it seems as though they are trying to incentivise people to mix up their lineups. I don't see the need to reward people for playing with great hitters as that is something people will want to have regardless. Same with 80+ speed. You're going to be rewarding players for cheesing.

I agree contracts are a awful idea and all it does is force free players to buy contracts with earned coins or stubs in this

MLB 15 sucked me into DD. I can't wait for these updates. I'm hoping to see some OS leagues with the new "play friends" option. Anyone going to start one up? With this in play, it opens up season long 1 person per real team potential.

I agree. Didn't play it much in previous versions but I got sucked in on '15 as well after the actual season ended and I got bored with my franchises and RTTS guys. After playing those modes, I had collected a pretty solid team of current players and have a pretty good team. I haven't played the marketplace at all and I don't have any legends. I prefer playing with more current players. I like the additions they mentioned so far that give some variety to team lineups.

I'm sure I will start playing this mode after release to kill some time while waiting for the rosters and SOTS. Obviously my card collection will probably be kinda weak (cmon, diamond cards! Lol) from the start, but I think it will be a fun challenge to play and compete online with my average team against the teams that are buying legends on the marketplace. Really looking forward to the checking out changes and improvements.

And props to the dev team on the server improvements in '15. That was a big reason why I played more DD this past year as well. I tried getting into it in '14 but the lag was pretty bad on most of my attempts at online play and I got bored with playing against the CPU. Glad they strive to improve the servers from year to year.
