Will do. I don't mean to get bent out of shape, it just seemed like a logical question.

...and nobody is making you out a villain(not that I read)...

But while the description on Amazon hinted at the mode....IMO I don't see it as a correct description of the mode.
Not entirely.
If you see that.....more power to you.
Yes....some aspects of it are definitely revealed in that description. But very "on the surface" stuff.

So anyone in the know..... will we have access, to say the future/fantasy stadiums for this mode? Or will we be playing all of our games on the road. Even though we are giving our team a home city but no home park to play in.....

To me this just sounds like a really kick rear end type of expansion mode like from asb series... so we would have to have home stadiums to play in...

also does this mode also include team schedules??? like we would be playing a season with it or what... cause if so are we also able to choose what league and div we put our teams into???

One big concern I see with this mode is quitters... Will people who leave a game be given a loss and their opponent credited for a win?

Even in online games like NHL, there are a lot of people who quit if you are beating them badly and that's only a game that lasts about 20 to 30 minutes. I can only imagine people won't want to stick around for a 9-inning baseball game if they are getting drubbed. I actually hope there is a "concede" button of some sort... So you can quit a game without being penalized by simply giving your opponent the win.

I personally will be doing this mode STRICTLY off-line. Until they allow us to set up the game how we do off line online i will not be playing online...

i want the options to use auto def, base running, no throw meter, to bat and pitch from cameras of my choosing, etc etc... thank god this mode is playable off-line... cause if not it would be a waste for me...

Seems there was some confusion about cards vs. players.

Think of it this way - Cards are like an injured list or a minors system (that does not progress). They are tucked away only to be used or traded when you would like. Players don't lose service time because they are not a player yet - they are a physical card. You have to "activate" the card for this to become an actual player.

THEN, you have your 40 or so players - 25 are active and available and these are the players you choose to play. If they are eligible to play in a game, they are deducted one game of service time.

One question that comes to mind talking this out are how are Starting Pitchers handled? I can only assume there's a rotation that keeps track of starts. I didn't spend much time with the mode, but now I can't recall if we discussed how they would be handled. It doesn't make sense if you have Lincecum in your rotation and he gets deducted a point if he doesn't pitch..... Hmm...

Late to the party but could diamond dynasty be used to make college teams and ncaa type divisions and tournament?

I believe you can already use your own batting and pitching camera online. The fielding option, I'm not sure of... Control schemes are selectable too. Then there's "Play Now Plus":
