MLB 12 The Show Video - Exclusive Look at Diamond Dynasty (GameTrailers)

I have never played any form of ultimate team before so I am not familiar with this mode. My question is can DD be used in an online league?

[Geolink]

Wowww what an awesome mode!

One thing I'm confused about... Is this mode going to be like an RPG type of mode where is mostly card playing? Or will you actually be able to use your team and play games like a Franchise mode (so to say)?

Are the created players that we are given in the packs random stats and information or has the team made specific cards?

So basically are the fake people possibilities unlimited, or are there a few hundred different options?

I'm guessing player turnover is extremely high in this game to keep it fresh. Very cool mode! Can't wait to get my paws on it. This will not be available on the Vita, correct?

Unless your players make the DD HOF

Both, you have to remember the players don't stay in card form forever. They are only in card form until you activate them then they are on your roster.

3 Pages about DD mode and I have to say I'm pretty much just as lost as I was 3 pages ago. I haven't really been following any of the other speculation threads and all that stuff...
So are you playing actual baseball games with the cards? Or are you playing card games? Is it both? Do you have the option to choose what kinds of games you play? Scooby Doo? Where are you?

It's a separate mode, so no. But there are various "divisions" that you can drop in and out of based on whether you win or lose. I think every 5 games or so (don't quote that), you're re-assessed. So say you're in the spring training division, which I believe is the lowest, you would play other DD teams in your division.

You're turning the cards into players and playing actual games with the team you assemble. These games can either be against a CPU controlled real life MLB team with their real life roster, or against another users Diamond Dynasty team.

But someone else said that if the players are in card form, then you only have like 9 or so games to play with then because of the number at the top of the card? or something? I don't even know man.
