I’m not here to hate on Diamond Dynasty, there are aspects I enjoy and have spent time with. Every piece of creativity that goes into MLB The Show seems targeted towards Diamond Dynasty, every promotion, every Tweet, every… thing. Why wouldn’t San Diego Studios want franchise enthusiasts to purchase their title for both the pristine visuals, realistic gameplay, AND an authentic franchise experience. OOTP Baseball blows The Show out of the water in every way imaginable. I felt this way before I ever played OOTP Baseball and then when comparing the two in terms of outside of gameplay franchise features, it’s not even a fair fight. It is clear, however, that the franchise mode for MLB The Show has been neglected and underdeveloped in recent iterations of the game. Seeing the actual detailed 3D model players you have, acquire, draft, and develop are also still something that can’t be replicated in OOTP. Being in control of the stats that are compiled and the actual gameplay experience is still a major draw. Still, my enjoyment of console gaming and of course in the current industry MLB The Show, has also not waned. My experience with OOTP Baseball has been more enjoyable than I could have imagined, and the deep immersion is something I still feel I haven’t reached the bottom of, despite hours already spent in the game. While playing that, I’ve also advanced into 2021 in a Cardinals solo manager/GM file. This league is a once a day sim in real time and has been in practice for several years. That has all changed in that about three months ago I was able to join an online league hosted by the same site where this article is being posted, Sim Sports Gaming. I always knew there were PC baseball games but because I was already pouring so much time in the console games I never really bothered to play those games, and in addition I was never really a PC gamer in any capacity. I’ve played more hours of baseball video gaming then can be counted, but it’s always been console based.
