MLB The Show 16 Video - More Battle Royale & Conquest Mode Details

[Steve_OS]

San Diego Studio game designer, Lance Leahy provides more details on the 2 new modes for MLB The Show 16 today. Check out the new video on Battle Royale and Conquest modes and post your thoughts.

Battle Royale is the most challenging and competitive game mode Diamond Dynasty has ever seen. In this player-versus-player experience, you’ll be challenged to draft a team and outlast opponents in a double-elimination tournament to acquire unique rewards.

Conquest is like a classic turn-based strategy game that pits you against the 30 MLB teams on a map of North America. You’ll be tasked with the challenge of defeating MLB teams and conquering territories in order to complete specific missions that contain team-specific rewards.

Conquest is ONLINE but still single player? I guess if it requires a PS+ subscription, count me out. Unless it just needs an internet connection like NBA 2k's "online" single player modes...

Looking forward to more info on Conquest. Battle Royale seems pretty straight forward but Conquest with the different phases and such still seems a little fuzzy to me.

Pretty excited to jump into these modes while waiting for OSFM Opening Day roster.

I love DD and this will just enhance it even more.

These two new DD modes look very interesting. Can't wait to try them out !

Hmm, didn't even touch DD in MLB 15, but this sounds like Draft Champions in Madden which I love, so these modes would make me try it.

Will these modes be in the PS3 version also?

Holy ****. RISK Baseball.

Amazing.

I never touch DD but conquest seems pretty cool, I'll play around with the that until OSFM releases!

Did he mean you have to play on all star or higher? or that you will eventually have to play on Legend? that would kind of sour me on what looks like a lot of fun. Legend is mind numbingly frustrating

I'm out on battle royal just because of the buy in. I like the concept but I don't want to have to pay stubs to play the mode hopefully they will drop the buy in pretty quick.

They give a pack for signing up so they won't drop the pay in otherwise people would just cheese it for the pack

No chance they drop the buy in. Otherwise people would just play a game for a free pack over and over. 1,500 stubs with a guarantee of a 1,000 stub pack isn't bad. Plus it looks like you get a reward after each game and more bonuses after 2,5,etc. wins.

I think it depends on the fan count of each team. In the video, it was 6 million vs 6 million so the difficulty is in the middle at all-star. I'm assuming if you had less fans then the CPU, you have to play on HOF or Legend. If you have more fans, you could play on rookie or veteran. I'm guessing there is are thresholds that determine the difficulties you can choose from.
