Like all collection modes, MLB The Show’s Diamond Dynasty can be pretty scary for a newbie. Sony has always taken steps to offer a less intimidating onboard process, and it looks like they will continue this trend as the series makes its way to the Xbox consoles family. and next generation systems.
On Tuesday, Sony announced some details related to the upcoming version of DD, and the already expensive and attractive collection method has already become more fan – friendly.
Check out the trailer.
All cards are available in no cost mode
Sony has fought against the urge to implement microtransactions in DD clothing, and that approach explains why cards are not in the mode that can only be obtained by spending real money.
This strategy removes the “pay-to-win” allegations and introduces an old-school, play-to-get concept, which many gamers want to see surfaced. new in other series.
Program stars replaced by XP
If you check out the 0:34 mark of the video, you get a quick look at the first inning program. The concept of the Program is not new to the Demo, but you may have noticed the amount of XP under each level.
In the new game, players earn XP for playing any mode, and the screen at the point mentioned above of the video shows what prize is available at each checkpoint.
This type of system is likely to be more comfortable to understand and buy into gamers.
Stronger motivation to play offline
The other collection methods in sports games offer little incentive for offline play.
DD has several offline options, some of which have not been officially released, and since users get XP from playing any mode in the game, the whole system could be a regular encouragement to give DD a glimpse.
As long as unexpected deficiencies don’t hinder the mode, it’s hard to imagine that the DD player base won’t increase this year.
