    Personally I can’t wait (although the runner on second did make extra inning games end faster). Really looking forward to getting that extra bat in the lineup, especially end game.

    Has that been announced? I agree completely.

    No confirmation yet (I mean it was just finalized hours ago), but considering both the DH and return to normal extras were agreed upon at the very beginning of negotiations, I cannot imagine SDS wasn’t prepared to implement them.

    I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they don't put universal DH in DD, especially for 22, maybe 23.

    Why not though? Like it or not, it is now the official baseball rules and this is at its heart a baseball “sim” supported by both MLB and the MLBPA.

    I would find it stupid for us to be playing a game this year that has pitchers batting when mlb doesn’t.

    I agree, it should be there as it's officially the rule. I just wouldn't be surprised if they left it as is. But I hope you're right. It'll be nice to add that extra bat in the lineup and reflect the new rules of the game.

    Because it's a coding thing, look at all the moments between two AL teams where your pitchers bat. I could easily see them saying they couldn't get it in this years game. They could also feel like they don't want to add it to DD as a personal choice being against the DH, not saying they are against it, but there has to be a reason they chose no DH for DD in the first place.

    Yes, that's all I'm saying, I won't be surprised if it's not in 22.

    I’m saying I would be surprised. No DH in 22 would be either an admission that they have coders who shouldn’t be working on a baseball game or that SDS has decided they are going to pick and choose which rules they want regardless of actual mlb rules (in which case mlb/mlbpa should drop them). They have known for months that the only way universal DH wasn’t going to be in baseball in 2022 was if there was no baseball in 2022. No excuses.

    We will see. I am basing my guess entirely on thier attitude during 20 when DH was used in both leagues because of COVID, SDS seemed reluctant to include it and acted like it was some big deal. And how for some reason when you are using an AL pitcher in moments playing an AL team you still have to bat. I am not saying they won't or that I can't be wrong, just that I won't be surprised in 2 weeks when they say DH won't be in DD this year.

    They didn’t know until 18 hours ago that there would be baseball in 2022. Were less than 30 days out which means discs have already been printed.

    As was pointed out in yesterday’s feature, they’ve been working on the audio overhaul for over 3 years. DH isn’t as big a change, but it’s not nothing. Anyone who says “just flip a switch” has never worked in IT development.

    Diamond Dynasty is a fantasy mode, honestly there was nothing stopping them from putting DH in at any time.

    Except they knew over a month ago that any labor agreement was going to have a universal DH (since that was the very first thing both sides agreed to). They knew that whenever baseball resumed it would have a DH and this not having it in the game is inexcusable. By your logic, we should also be expecting runners on second in extras too.

    You keep saying inexcusable. But what if SDS doesn't want to add the DH. Like I said it's a fantasy mode, there was nothing at all stopping them from putting it in DD from the beginning, or having it in DD for the show 20 when MLB had it for a season.

    Again I don't know what they are going to do, but I am prepared for them not to have it in DD this year, if ever.

    What does this have to do with anything? If there’s universal DH in baseball, there should be universal DH in the Show. I don’t see how hard it would be to accomplish that.

    Well the good news is unlike most internet arguments, we are going to get an answer and sooner rather than later.
