just a simply observation, but I'm curious on how popular DD actually is, that it warrants changes or refinements every year since every year SCEA gives it, its own special stream. However, like every year its one of the least popular threads here when new info comes out on it. Just makes it seem like its not a very popular or used feature amongst people here at OS.

I used to think/wonder the same thing however, we OSers need to remember how small a part of the customer base we are. For starters, theshownation DD forums are far more active than the one here. Second, as someone who regularly reads comments on the MLB the show FB page, I have been struck by how often people are asking about something in the game that Ramone or others have answered on here (or Twitter), which leads me to believe that their are many people who don't post here, but do buy the game, play DD, etc.

We have to remember that SDS uses telemetry data and knows how much each mode gets played, weighs the cost/time investment in each area and reacts accordingly. I think, for the most part, they hit all the areas very well (I know online franchisers are not gonna agree, but...In general).

Speaking for myself, I totally got sucked in to playing offline DD. I love the missions and I look forward to all the new stuff they are rolling out this year. I still intend on playing franchise, but I dig DD too!

You said Events are going to last one week? That means you'll need to win 60 3-inning games in one week? Thats like 10 a day.

I hope the events last longer than that.

I'm almost exclusively franchise. I messed with DD only to create my own team, logos and uniforms and played a few games just to see how it looked. I think it is popular for people looking for a less traditional way to play the game. I've played thousands of games in franchise and maybe 10 games tops in DD but if nobody played it they wouldn't include it in the game.
