Yeah that would be awesome. Another thing that needs to happen are rain delays/rain outs and add weather conditions to the game that actually matter.


I think we may see some new shit in 12...they only just recently introduced weather last year. My favorite environment improvement is the sky change from day to night as the innings pass...such realism in the transition

Diamond Dynasty (PS3 Only) – Diamond Dynasty juggles aspects of team management, player progression, and online competition, with more creative freedom than any sports game to date. Gamers create a custom team complete with Team Name, Colors, custom Uniforms, and fully customizable Logos with up to 1000 layers of detail. Once created, the team is given a handful of MLB baseball cards and Dynasty baseball cards that, when activated, add the players to your team roster.

The fundamentals of Diamond Dynasty revolve around the difference between MLB and Dynasty cards and the unique reward systems that support each type.  A Dynasty player is a long-term investment that requires training similar to that of a “Road to the Show” player. Dynasty players are supplemented with an award/achievement system. In contrast MLB players are short-term investments that slot into your roster ready to play at their current attribute levels. Completing collections of MLB players will reward you with Budget bonuses. Budget is used to train players, purchase Card Packs (Dynasty or MLB), and to purchase cards from other users on the Marketplace. Most of your Budget is earned by playing either Head-to-Head online games, or VS. CPU against MLB teams. Head-to-Head games are matched and ranked using an ELO system that most competitive online games now use some form. Every fifth game played, your team is re-evaluated for placement into one of five competitive divisions: Spring Training, Season Series, Division Series, Championship Series, and World Series. What will define your dynasty?


Sounds fun

I need some advice. I love the mlb the show games but Whenever i play road to the show i get the urge to pump all the sliders to the max and make it the easiest diffculty because i like seeing those inflated stats. But i think overall it ruins the experience for me.
How can i resist that urge and choose a decent diffculty and stick with it?

do you two change diffculty and sliders alot?

Just tell yourself that you will ruin the game by doing it...that should resist the urge.
And if you fail at that, you will eventually get bored of it playing on such easy settings.
Cranking up the difficulty with max sliders pretty much cancels it out so you can try that.

Yup

I play the old old old classic settings.
The guess 1/4 pitch or 1/6 (You guess the pitch and if you're right it shows exactly where it is....1/6 is when you guess the location or pitch...if you get it right, it doesnt show you where it is but it shows you the region of the strikezone of where it'll hit)

I play like this as well.

Not into the advanced swinging and pitching mechanics. I just like to play the game to play baseball.

It's exactly like Ultimate Team in EA Sports games. It's a good mode though.

Nothing was more annoying in 2k11 than not being able to pick the uniform you wanted to use in career mode.
