Still no mention of a returning user bonus, or are we starting our collections from scratch? Either way is fine, I'd just like to know.

They said we would get something for having 15.

Holy crap! If that WAR calculation is balanced for offense and defense then that is a huge deal. I wonder if it'll go into affecting the AI at all in that a player with average ratings gets a big deal due to their high WAR stat? Could we see a player offensively perform mediocre, but put up great defensive numbers still put up a respectable WAR? That is the big question in my opinion. It would be useless to add if t didn't so I bet they took some effort into implementing it.

Re: MLB The Show 16 Twitch Stream (Diamond Dynasty Expansion) LIVE

Still watching the stream, but my 1st impression is they've created a lot of new depth to the DD mode. The hardcore DD players should really like it, but newcomers will probably find the DD mode a bit too complicated to hold their interest. I mean from stubs to tickets to captains to missions to flashbacks....it's going to be a bit too much for a lot of people. But gamers that like RPGs more than baseball itself--the collectors and card flippers and guys who play the NBA2K MyTeam mode--should really get into this mode.

My burning questions that remain are:

1. Are team restrictions in the mode? For example, do they restrict the amount of diamond players you can put on your team to increase strategic choice on constructing teams instead of just fielding an entire diamond team?

2. Outside of "play a friend" matches, have they added a way to play shorter online matches? The 50 minute on average games last year were too much for me as a casual gamer.

But yeah, SCEA has outdone themselves. That inside edge feature causing card overalls to change everyday and the hundreds of flashbacks are going to keep us playing the mode for a very long time.

1: No
2: You are able to set whatever inning length you want with Play vs Friends. Be sure to tune into the next stream as we talk about even more ways to play.

Re: MLB The Show 16 Twitch Stream (Diamond Dynasty Expansion) LIVE

I have a couple questions:
1. What time in the day will Inside Edge take effect? Will the player update changes kick in at 12 AM or something?
2. If you remove a tired pitcher from your roster will his fatigue stay in effect.
3. Can position players become fatigued? In the stream it they mentioned the word "players" but didn't elaborate if they were referring to pitchers only.

Looks like they've shored up a lot of the loopholes with DD from last year.

I never played it last year but I'm honestly intrigued now. It seems like it's really a level playing field, the only difference being that a user may have a better team/player than me mainly because he's played the game more.
