I thought we could have a little fun with this, at least until the official info is released. We can make this a project for people to kind of put their own spin on what they think this new mode called Diamond Dynasty actually is. Whether you're right, wrong, or just making your own little wish about what it is, it would be interesting to see what people envision in their heads when they hear this mode. I don't know if the CD guys are even in the know about this project, so if they're not, it would be valuable to hear your guesses as well.

Once the info is released, of course, then we get to compare or see if somebody picked out the right lotto numbers for the actual mode details.

. . .

As for my guess, as Russell said it's something unlike anyone has ever seen before, my thoughts on an expansion mode kind of go out the window. We have seen All Star Baseball use that with generic created stadiums, and MVP Baseball has already done a create-a-stadium for that matter. Even if it was used to pick your own team like that, too many sports games have already done that. Somebody suggested some sort of card-playing game, which would also be sort of interesting. We've seen the use of playing cards in games, but only as collectibles really, not as an actual game mode.

It's the word "dynasty" that sticks out the most to me, and the notion that it's also an online-capable. I'm thinking that it has something to do with building up some sort of team in a franchise-like atmosphere of years built upon one another, so I don't think it's either a single game kind of environment, nor do I think it's an RttS kind of development. The only way I can see it being similar to Road to the Show is if you create 25 different characters, but that would certainly be a lot of work.

. . .

Anyway, those are just thoughts being poured out on paper. What kind of direction do you think this might go?

I think it's a mode where you get to race Knight around the diamond and IF you win (yeah right) you will forever be known in The Show HISTORY.

Has a 2 or more player franchise been done? That's what I first thought it would be, which would kinda depressing. That way Russell is promoting this, I also doubt that this is that mode.

I think it's the name of the brand given to SCEA SD's version of 'Big League Bubblegum Chew."

And it'll come free with all pre-orders.

Except it won't come with the game and will have to be shipped separately.

And shipping and processing costs $5.99 within the continental US.

But after the $5.99, it's totally free. And from what I hear: delicious.

Mmmmmmm.....

I think its going to be something along the lines of Maddens Ultimate Team.

Cant wait to find out what it is!!!

This is the first time I've even heard anything about it. Where was this supposed mode originally revealed?

In the CES video about Pulse Pitching, Zone Analog, TBP, etc. Only the name of the mode was revealed, nothing else.
