Re: MLB 12 The Show Video - Exclusive Look at Diamond Dynasty (GameTrailers)

Sorry, I haven't read through all 20+ pages, so I have to ask:

Are career lengths going to be position- or potential-driven, or completely random?
I'm just wondering how career stats will be compared if players play longer/shorter careers than others.

Also have the career lengths been mentioned? Are we talking 50 games or 500?

I'm only wondering based on the fact that there will be a HoF; How can one player be compared to another with more or less opportunity?

Hope that makes sense.

I'm really going to like this mode. I already like the idea of UT, but the problem is I don't know all the players in the NHL, AHL, NFL, etc. Now that's a thing of the past.

Add on top of that uni and team creator, I have a feeling I'll be much better at creating logos instead of faces.

From what we saw....the real MLB players have short career lengths(9-15 games let's say)....and the generated players have longer career lengths...40-50 games.

I'm guessing there would have to be some sort of minimum amount of games played or AB's/IP's....to qualify.
Remains to be seen.

Think of MLB players more like "rentals". Very expensive ones.

So chances are you can still get them again baring cost.

He can show up again in card form.

See, this is where Diamond Dynasty is going to be really sweet. Just for an example: I can see my team having real players like say Jason Kendell or Brandon Inge... maybe a high rated player like Ian Kinsler. Then, I can see a high level dynasty player, some mid tier players, and the rest.

That's where the fun comes in with customization. I'd love to see some of my ancient relatives like Doc and Jimmy Johnston take the field, or maybe some really old players like Germany Smith at shortstop, or Dan Brouthers at first. Heck, you can have completely fictional players like Buckeye Cooper at pitcher*. The team becomes completely yours; that's what makes this mode so exciting. I really can't wait for more information

*I claim the rights to Buckeye Cooper and his handlebar mustache with the old-timer delivery. Don't get any funny ideas about stealing mine!
