MLB 12 The Show Trailer - Diamond Dynasty

[JibJab 24]

The more I see and read of this mode, the more intriguing it sounds. Looking forward to trying this new mode out next week!

Just put a plug-in on Uni Watch about the uniform and logo creator in Diamond Dynasty.

It's like HUT. I'm not interested.

Correct me if I'm wrong anyone, but from what I gather, in offline you are playing real-life MLB teams and with the only benefit being the ability to be able to use their team stadium (although perhaps you get some budget from this as well). I don't believe you play ranked games and move up/down the season leaderboards if you don't play online, and probably don't even have stats accumulate. So in essence, while the mode can be played somewhat offline, it is largely an online mode.

Huh, that's not how I understood it. I know unlocking stadiums is one benefit of playing real MLB teams, but I thought you also got funds, etc. I don't personally care about leaderboards so much, but I don't see why that would keep stats from being accumulated. I guess I'll just have to start playing it and see how it goes.

Now I'm just going by the video here, but it looks like there is a base number of credits that you can earn by beating MLB teams, and then some extra depending on how good they are. Although Russell confirmed that you have to be online to play the game, I don't think you ever have to play an opponent online to enjoy the mode.

I was kinda bummed that being online would be a requirement for DD, but I understand that's where the competition would be fun as well.

All this time I was assuming DD could be played entirely offline if a user so chooses. Perhaps, all your team info are stored in the dedicated server, so even if you only play against CPU, those info must be stored and fetched from it, thus needing online. If that's the case, it's basically an online only mode.

can't believe this is the crap they are pushing. do they not know their audience? I'm sure most of us would have strongly preferred a expansion team mode, instead of a crappy facebook game you pay money to play.

I'm confused.
Could you point out to us where it says you have to pay anything to play?
I can't find it.
Thanks.
