Unless you have a real life pitcher than is a RP position and has high quality SP ratings like stamina you wouldn't want to do that. By looking at the stream, when they selected a SP to set their rotation, it wasn't an option to put him in the bullpen. So you would need a RP card that is your best SP? Very unlikely

99.9% sure they don't. Since equipment doesn't carry over year to year, (for the same reasons they explained in the stream) it seems extremely unlikely they'd carry over with DD cards.

No, it means that after a card is obtained, it will not be taken away from you unless you put it in the market (in which case you are trading it away for stubs) or use it in training the custom Diamond Dynasty player (in which you use card(s) to increase the custom player's attributes).

And when you activate a player card to your roster and use him in games, the player can be used so long as you maintain the card. (In DD of MLB 14, MLB players expired in 10 games and DD players expired after 30 - 40 games of playing.)

I am "almost" 100% sure that you won't retain those asset from one year to another though. It will likely limit the growth of the mode in case of introducing novel new features, if the devs have to worry about maintaining old assets, so you probably don't want to see that happening anyways...

Russell,

Any chance you can comment on why at At&t Park the pitchers are still sitting in the bull pen instead of in the Giants dug out like in real life? Is this just not a fixable thing?

I'm still a little fuzzy on the split screen replay. Can somebody clear that up on what it is for me?

I think he said something about the dugout would be too packed or something like that. What I don't get though is I would rather just have them not anywhere at all and just appear out of the dugout than have them all sitting on the field

It's a presentation element like you see on a baseball telecast where one side could show the pitcher and at the same time the other split side could show the base runner or batter for example.

Hey Steve_OS, thank you for making this cliff notes post. It is very convenient for us who didn't get to see all of it.


Thank you!


Anyone know the focus for this week's twitching?
