Oh, Knight, I get why they have to "retire" after a certain number of games. It'd be a grind if guys played realistically long careers.

And I have no doubt most of them won't be big blows, losing them. Most the time I'll probably be ready to move on to the next guy who I have even higher hopes for.

But I imagine I'll have a couple guys on my team at any given time who will be stand-out guys who I'd really want to export to franchise mode so they can continue to live on for me in another form (and go on to have real careers where they play in The Show for as many games as a ballplayer really plays in the life of a career).

I mean, it'd add a richness to both modes, Franchise and Diamond Dynasty. It'd make it so that some of the guys entering franchise mode have more "real" backstories since I watched them develop. And it'd add a whole new element to Diamond Dynasty, because I'd be able to enjoy developing guys who might play a role in my franchise (either playing for me or showing up to play against me).

Plus, a mode like Diamond Dynasty, in a sport like baseball that is so intertwined with stats, I know I'll constantly find myself wondering what guys would do with a full 162-game slate. If a guy hits a bunch of homers for me, I'd always wonder if he could've kept up at that pace in a real season. If a pitcher is lights-out, I'll wonder if he could've held up for 30+ starts in a year.

I think it'll bug a little bit to get to know some of these guys over the length of 40 games... and then never get to know what they could've done in the MLB format (playing 162 games a year, playing a whole career's worth of games and seasons).

This is a wishlist item though. Right now we cannot import/export players at all once any mode starts iirc.

Since most stats aren't kept track anyways, why don't you just copy his attributes at once point, an d edit him into your roster/franchise? That's a temporary solution that should work for now.

Oh....okay...you mean you like a certain player and would like to kind of copy him out to your franchise...
I missed the last part of that post in regards to that.
I see.

Like nomo said...I do hope they can eventually incorporate exporting and importing ANY player from ANY mode(RTTS included) into existing franchises.

So we weren't supposed to discuss this based on the Amazon description even thought the Amazon description was correct?

How does the fatigue work for starters and relievers, so you're forced to use the depth of your team and not just a few standouts?

I know going from year one to year two in HUT in NHL, they didn't have goalie fatigue the first year and added it the second year.

You've made a point like this nearly every other page on here. The answer is still the same: We wait for confirmation before we start arguing about features. You never know what something will entail based on third party information.

I thought of something: Will Diamond Dynasty use the DH or not? I know it's not a groundbreaking question, but it would be nice to know.

I made the point in one other thread. Don't snap at me for making an accurate observation.

Also, what's this "we" stuff? Who's "we"? You? Because I am not "we" in this discussion. I am under no obligation to SCEA to keep some kind of street date on discussing features.
