Without the 125 attribute cap, how will legends play outside of DD?

[SilverBullet1929]

I'm very "concerned" about this issue.

They've "blown the roof off attribute caps" in Diamond Dynasty. Tony Gwynn can now actually be a .394 hitter in DD, Babe Ruth is a 121 level hitter in DD, and more... that's amazing! But they've said this only applies to DD right?

So what happens when I attempt to use a legend outside of DD? Are their exaggerated stats nerfed down to 99? This ruins their use for me especially as someone who doesn't play DD.

There is now seemingly no point to using Babe Ruth and Tony Gwynn and others outside of DD if they're not true to their abilities. If 121 hitting Babe Ruth is available in DD, I want to be able to use him in exhibition games as well, on the Yankees. Using 99 hitting Babe Ruth in exhibition will feel cheap knowing the 121 Ruth is available elsewhere.

I understand how this could have been an issue in continuous play modes like Franchise but I would love to have been able to play with the "125 attribute" legends in exhibition modes.

If you think about it, since DD only uses created teams and not real teams, I'll never be able to use any legend on their real teams with their fullest attributes. So I'll never get to play with Babe Ruth on the Yankees at his best.

If I'm crazy, let me know it. But I do think this is a real head scratcher and a concern that will affect many people's use of these legends.

It's a good question. We don't know and until they tell us more all we have is speculation.

That said, as a roster rater, I'm dying to find out, because it could open things up to us.

This will be an easy one to test. I bet with Ruth's power, contact AND vision combined, you can get a 50-60 homer season out of him outside DD. Then consider having him in a 162 game schedule instead of 154, maybe even as many as 65 dingers.

they clearly said on the stream that 'it was Diamond dynasty only'

I have been asking this myself.. If he's a 99 he could still be way better than everyone else.. They would just have to tone alot of the power numbers and stuff down of other players.. Which I don't think would happen.

Frankly the legends ratings are a complete joke anyways. Ruth having above 100 vision is just stupid.

I do agree the ratings have gotten out of hand. As good as these legends are, I doubt they'd be hitting 60+ homers while flirting with a near .400 BA today.

IMO these ratings are just a way to boost the DD offense a little.

Give the rest of us the same expanded scale as Diamond Dynasty players
