I'm guessing to make the HOF requires recycling and production (stats)?

Basically different tiers of talent. Bronze being the lowest and gold the highest in regards to fictional players.

Correct, when we were doing this there was a 2 card minimum you had to put into the recycler in order to try and upgrade. I think 4 is the most you can put up at one time. I put 4 bronze and got back 1 excellent silver card when I tried it out. So just because you put up 4 cards does not mean you are getting 4 back!

I'm still concerned about the possibility of not being able to field a team down the road if you do things like this. I mean, yes, if you plan ahead that won't happen, But if you were low on budget and stupidly decided to trade in a bunch of bronzes in an attempt to get silvers, couldn't you end up with less players than the minimum to take the field? And then there's expiring contracts to worry about too.

I guess what I'm asking is if there will be some kind of reset button to completely start over if you put yourself into an impossible position. I don't anticipate having this problem myself, but it's something to consider for the masses that will play this mode.

Can anyone answer two questions..apologizes in advance if they were already asked.

Is there only one team allowed per username or is it similar to franchise where you can do multiple files under your playstation username? If anyone knows an easier way to describe this please let me know.

Is every real life player in diamond dynasty in the form of a card? Or is there a specific roster set of real life players you can obtain in cards?

To me it appeared you would really have to try to work yourself into this situation. You still get money if you lose a matchup so there always seemed to be money available to purchase cards. Even though I did not see it because it was still being worked on but I am sure you could pull the plug if needed.

I can see why people feel a little apprehensive because MUT seemed to paint you into a corner a lot.

That would be pretty awesome if you could create your own stadiums and play in various parks with different dimensions and such (if you did online that is..)

You would really have to try hard for this to happen. You start out with a full 40 man roster of players. Plus a handful of MLB cards and a handful of dynasty cards. What you do with those cards is up to you. Every team is pretty much guaranteed to get two good MLB players to start with and about 4 decent players and some scrubs. You will have at least one A dynasty card a couple of B's you get the picture.
