Is MLB 12 The Show’s Diamond Dynasty Another Ultimate Team? Um, No...

[Mercurial23]

Is there going to be a blog or video explaining this mode more in depth? Something to explain it more detailed?

It's been said that a blog post by Nick@SCEA should be coming some time soon.

this resembles the pro yakyuu spirits mode they have...seems like the show maybe getting some ideas from this game. They also included the pulse pitching that pys uses...if they implement the hitting that pys uses this game would be pretty close to unbeatable.

Hopefully a pitching rotation mangement will be in effect. Currently in online games, you can use your ace pitcher every game.

It would even be nice if the online mode also had a pitching rotation requirement.

Pitchers have energy so you just can't keep throwing them out there every game like you can in the regular online world.

Okay... a potentially bad/dumb question about this game mode...

With the team you build/make, would you actually play the games? As in, would you be able to use the team that is your cards/development in a play now, online, or on-going franchise setting? Or is it kind of just to look at and develop but not play?

Thanks a lot, fellas.

Yes, you actually play... but I think you can only play within the "universe" of Diamond Dynasty. I don't think you can use your DD team in other modes.

So you basically "play" within a sort of Franchise mode against the CPU?

I think DD itself is a mode (like franchise), and your team is limited within that mode. You can either play against a CPU team (which is one of the MLB teams I believe), or some other online player's DD team in an online setting.

Ah, so you wouldn't be playing like a set 162 game season or anything? Just earning points on play nows?

Thanks for your help.
