But to me, it sounds good:
Right now we’re playing 1 on 1 games online. What if there was a way that we could team up and play people 2-on-2 (alternate at-bats, watch your partner bat while you’re on deck), or 3-on-3 and so on... much of the way you can in NBA2K and other games, which would increase comraderie and could decrease toxicity because there would be less anonymity and you’re exposed to the community more.
Could be a horrible idea, but I’ve had worse ones.
I’ve thought about this. Alternating turns at bat, have one player pitch while the other catches (and calls the game for the pitcher) and fields. Could have doubles leagues or events. Could be a lot of fun

Back in the day, one of the EA Triple Play games let you play co-op, IF, OF, alternating ABs - this was local co-op on the couch...

3v3.
P1 OF
P2 IF
P3 C and PP3 is team captain and handles all bullpen and pinch run/hit.
And then in terms of batting, I don’t know about anyone else, but my teammates’ at-bats would definitely interest me to watch.
Interesting idea until you load the bases and watch your friends pop up or strike out and score no runs. Maybe with 2 players, 1 pitches and 1 fields and you alternate at bats per inning instead of batter.

I would be the bat boy.

@writetoshawn I have thought about that. I was thinking, if the MLB season got cancelled:
What if all 9 players played their own positions! I thought that would be cool, but I knew it would never happen. I am on the side of saying: I think it would be fun, but if it happened, it would need it's own special mode. BUT: I am not sure if I would want to play it, just watch it. -
We need co-op mode desperately!!! 2 v 2 in diamond dynasty!!!

I think it would be a lot of fun. Maybe just 2v2 to start and whether it was casual or competitive wouldn't really deter me either way. I have a few friends that are going to be playing for the first time this year and it would be a lot of fun to be able to play together. Not to mention if I've grinded a really good team and they haven't then we could use my roster and they'd get to try out players they haven't used before and vice versa. I don't know how popular it would be, but more co-op type modes like this or online seasons are always fun to me.
-
I mean it could be fun but considering how much bad connections can impact the gameplay already, imagine what 6 players instead of 2 connected could do.

Thing that worries me and i've seen in other games. Rocket league, Madden, and i'm sure others.
For one Quitters that are "Captains" if they quit u could no longer use play book it only used audible plays. So pitcher quits just witness meatballs down middle?
2nd quitter just b/c opposing team took lead? Now you rank gets effected?
3rd trolls who literally will do anything and everything to sabotage game?
So i am ok with COOP idea as long as it isn't in a competitive environment where rewards can be earned until i see or hear of a way to alleviate concerns. But something i could see bee introduced into league play where Commish has settings perhaps.
But as of right now i oppose any idea of competitive COOP that gives out rewards or leaderboard.

If it were casual play that’s fine. This has to stay away from ranked completely.
