Really liking what I see so far. I hope going forward they incorporate a draftkings/fanduel point system where you have to mix superstars with players that help fill a role. Still its going to be another great year for DD.

Oh man that 3rd number for WAR will drive me crazy. But who the hell cares. I no longer have to write all my stats down if i want to remember them. If only this was 3 years ago and we were getting the game in 2 weeks.

Okay, so...it actually shows all the years of a player's career now in the player card. This is definitely different from past years when it only gave one year and the career totals. I still want to see it in Franchise though, unless they specifically said on the stream that they're tracking career stats now in that mode (I'm not watching the stream, just following the thread). And yes, I know we weren't going to see that today - I'm just anticipating it.

Oh my god... if Career WAR makes it into Franchise and RTTS... Please god.

That was a really good stream. The features they have added in are amazing and have completely increased my hype for the game as someone who solely plays Diamond Dynasty.

My burning questions that remain are:

1. Are team restrictions in the mode? For example, do they restrict the amount of diamond players you can put on your team to increase strategic choice on constructing teams instead of just fielding an entire diamond team?

2. Outside of "play a friend" matches, have they added a way to play shorter online matches? The 50 minute on average games last year were too much for me as a casual gamer.

But yeah, SCEA has outdone themselves. That inside edge feature causing card overalls to change everyday and the hundreds of flashbacks are going to keep us playing the mode for a very long time.
