RTTS Players in Diamond Dynasty
-
Last year I was very bummed that our RTTS created characters could not be used in Diamond Dynasty. As a result, I never even touched RTTS. While I understand there was an imbalance with created players in competitive games, there are those of us who only play against friends and would prefer to have created characters in our player vs player games or just in our offline DD team. What is the possibility that this feature is added back, or modified, to allow for RTTS characters in non-competitive games? And how did you feel about this change last year?
-
It won't be added back because alot of people liked that you couldn't use it in DD
-
I feel like adding RTTS players to DD ruined RTTS. They introduced the archetype system at the same time which made it difficult to create a 5-tool player and adjust their attributes the way you liked.
If they were to reintroduce a created character to DD, I would much rather they go back to the old way where you feed it duplicate cards to raise its stats. This way, DD and RTTS can be two separate modes.
-
I think that is a fair assessment. My friends and I are not competitive gamers and we dont tend to play against people we do not know. It is just us playing against each other. I really liked creating a character in RTTS and using in DD, especially against friends. I totally understand why they should not be used competitively, and I can appreciate that, but I think the option should be there to be used in non-competitive games against friends. But that is my two cents. Without that, I typically wont touch RTTS.

I like using the RTTS player in DD it gave us freedom of choice! Restrictions aren’t cool at all!
-
I've already experienced the sweet life with the option added! RTTS is virtually a useless boarding grind with no benefits without it. Especially if you want to play online in DD. I don't even want to BUY The Show without it. Bring back the good stuff. All hail created players online!
-
Same. I wont be buying a new MLB the show until they add the feature back to DD in at least the non competitive modes. They can restrict it easily to not have in competitive. This all or nothing mentality ruins games. If 1 group complains, the easy road is remove it... the right way is remove it from competitive. Not getting my money again until they do.
-
I’d bet RTTS is played less now than when it was connected. I don’t see how that’s a good thing.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN Because there are enough switch hitters already in DD. No need to add a 3 foot two way player named Mike Hawk with all the horrible caricatures the average myopic Fox viewer can come up with. It isn't a crossover anymore because it wasn't worth the headaches.
-
@theBlindRhino_PSN What headaches? I’d be ok with limiting windups. That’s the only headache I saw. Stop being a baby. It amazes me how much this community feels like they can dictate the way other people play. Get over yourself. It’s not just about you.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN Hey dummy. Nobody cares what you think.
-
@theBlindRhino_PSN Likewise.
-
@DFC_MLBTS . What does that have to do with your rtts player in DD

Everybody in the community can provide whatever suggestions they want. They are not dictating anything by doing so. If SDS did not see it as an issue also then it would not be changed.
I have not played RTTS yet this year but it makes sense to me, since the power creep is back, that they would not allow it since it may be possible for RTTS player overall ratings to outpace the current power creep.
-
@Dolenz_PSN I don’t have a problem with people giving their opinions, but the only opinions they listen to are streamers. I also loathe when people’s solutions are to take something away that a lot of people enjoy. The idea that they can outpace the power creep is a weak argument. We had them before seasons. The power creep isn’t new. They could also scale them with the power creep by dropping only bronze and silver perks to start, or increasing the number of perks as time goes on. Fixing the problem is better than taking things away. That’s lazy and bad for the game.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN It wasn't a streamer they listened to. It was my idea to remove created players from DD. See my uncle is a VP at SDS and he got it 86'd when I sent him a DM on the DL. So don't blame the streamers.
-
RTTS is NOT Diamond Dynasty. There should be zero relationship between them. Linking the two in any form is what harmed RTTS two-way player gameplay in MLB 23 and I sincerely hope SDS will never link them again.
Frankly, and bluntly, the ONLY reason a relative few clamor for this link is to create a player they can then use to play as a superstar grinded out in RTTS using Beginner play difficulty, and then putting them in DD to essentially cheat the online game option.
This exact same obsession with trying to cheat DD play is why we stadium designers got saddled with a myriad of rules and blocks on creating custom stadiums -- all because some of the most widely downloaded custom stadiums were merely platforms designed to offer some kind of strange nuance to gain advantage from, including cheating.

@PriorFir4383355_XBL Another poor argument and no, not everyone used them this way. You could simply not allow 2 way players in RTTS for online. You could make it a difficult decision in building a 2 way player with how you build them. There’s lots of ways they could have made it work without removing it entirely, but too many people can’t seem to think outside the box they’re limited to.
