Re: MLB The Show 16 Thoughts: Diamond Dynasty

There is actually a better way than that it starts the same with grouping and duplication but there is but if you look there is an option called expand you can find by Flippin past the move and scew modes, it'll make everything completely uniform and even.

Really?! Cool! I must have just totally overlooked that option when I was working on my jerseys last April! If it works that well and keeps everything totally even, thats awesome news, it will cut way down on my layers used!

Good lookin out, man! Thanks

Hoping you can still play other DD teams offline. "Extra Innings" games. Didn't see that option in the stream.

Someone asked Nick from SDS that question on twitter and he said "@MLBtheShow_Tips We forgot! You now challenge the CPU with the user's team and tendencies directly thru the DD leaderboard list"

I was worried too but this sounds awesome. Even better than last year. I wonder if you can literally challenge ANY team? that is so hype, I love the feature and how it uses tendencies. Hype 2 the max.

I also saw in the videos on the Play menu there is a Play vs CPU option which I think is something separate. Perhaps you can play versus real MLB teams with your DD team as well?

Same as before, yes.

Wait, could we not challenge specific teams last year? I thought I did that a few times.

I haven't gotten into DD till very late and Maybe I'm doing it wrong but I only see 4 teams I can pick at any time. It seems like he's saying you can play anyone on the leaderboard in extra innings, or at least its my guess/wish. You can't do that currently can you?

I am pretty sure you can challenge any MLB team in '15. I think it is a great feature because it eliminates the lag from online games (like extra innings).

This is like fantasy baseball but playable as a video game.

I love the concept...I didn't play it last year but I think I'll get into it this year now that a lot of loopholes/cheese stuff has been addressed.

Yeah I saw that tweet too and was a bit puzzled because it sounded just like what Extra Innings is now. It allows you play against any team listed on the Leaderboard - which is basically any team. You can also play against MLB teams now. Perhaps they renamed Extra Innings to one of those other two new modes and added an extra twist or something. We'll see.

I've never played an EI game but I don't think Extra Innings would generate lag because you are challenging other DD teams (using the owner's tendencies) that are CPU controlled.

This is what I thought as well about last year. I remember challenging a team off the leaderboard. Maybe nick meant that you have to challenge through the leaderboard now and you don't get the 4 random teams? I guess we'll see.

[Sam The Man]

I will honestly say that I will give that a try once I get this game, I'm starting to like these modes more because online playing is pretty boring.

Excited for it. It's like virtual baseball card collecting plus the fact you can play games with your friends.

I've put in ≈ 150 games or so in Diamond Dynasty (Yosemite Frogs!) and I rarely encounter "cheese". Sure, everyone and their mom has Dee Gordon leading off and will try to bunt you to death, but just pound him up and in and he pops out the majority of the time.

My biggest gripe is that every pitcher has Greg Maddux control. That includes my pitchers. 70% of my staff shouldn't have sub 2.00 ERA's... but they do. Because with difficult set to Pro, Jaime Garcia's become Tom Glavine's and Jacob deGrom's become Walter Johnson's. Pitching is way too precise, and that's the closest the game comes to "cheese" imo.

I've asked Ramone about 3 times on twitter and nothing so can anyone answer if QC made it to DD this year?
