Yeah, if you've ever been in MLBTS as a "current day" player - you're not a legend....you're a "retired dude", lol. I do have fond memories of Beltre on MLBTS18 - I LOVED his "high diamond" card (which was a 96 OVR - ah, the good ole days).

I suspect they'll have a surprise or two - they don't often "blow their wad" with the initial Legends reveal.

From Dev Stream: Live Series Ohtani's position in DD is Starting Pitcher.

Not really surprising as they don't usually let injuries dictate what players can and can't do in the game, but just thought I'd mention it.

I’m not really a fan of a lot of the team collection rewards being gold players.

THAT SAID, I want all the mid-*** players to come back in the game. The Ludwicks and Aurilias of the world are ones I actually enjoy more in a vacuum if we get a bunch of them.

I hope we get a robin ventura (insert nolan ryan jokes)...but he was always my favorite player for some reason, I played 3rd and liked all the #23's from chicago even tho i live nowhere near chicago.

Especially if they did the power creep where a card like him would be viable for a month or two before the chipper jones type comes in

Well fellas, overall seems like we all had some fun with DD in 2023 in someway shape or form. Looking forward to an easier grind and possibly more online play time because of it for me.

Here's to 2024.. (someone start the new thread already would ya? LOL)

See, I don't mind it (I thought the biggest weakness of '23 was the lack of non-diamond players). Gold players can be tremendously fun to use (often outplaying their unrealistically juiced versions) and I assume that they'll all be core players, so there's that as well. This approach is not all that different than past years (prior to '23).
