They first launched nearly a decade ago with names like Diamond Foundry, Brilliant Earth, Mia Donnaand Pure Grown Diamonds, with millions of dollars in financing and a mission to reshape the diamond industry. They were startups that were going to popularize man-made diamonds for the masses in a way that would make the industry more sustainable and wring billions of dollars from the roughly $100 billion diamond market.

2018 is shaping up to be a strong one for the sports gaming genre due in large part to independent developers. The latest game to be announced is The Golf Club 2019 which will act as the third entry in the well-regarded series that began in 2014, but concern is raised whether it will be able to sustain much less grow its consumer base in a graveyard of once annualized sports franchises. Also on this episode discussion regarding the new features revealed for MLB The Show 18's Diamond Dynasty mode and the panelists theorize why there still has been no official FIFA World Cup game announcement from EA Sports. On the show this week: Bryan Wiedey, Pastapadre/Sporting News/Hit the Pass (@pastapadre) Rich Grisham, OOTP Developments/Hit The Pass (@richgrisham) MillsGamingTV (@MillsGamingTV)

Coop & The Weasel unpack all the news from the previous week regarding MLB The Show 18 & changes coming to Diamond Dynasty. As always, they start off with the most polarizing topic traveling through the tweets of the concerned community- players now have the ability to be rated over 99. What this means will surely be explained in Friday's SDS stream, but the guys have some ideas... some good, some not so good. Create-A-Player sees some changes, especially in how you boost said player. Commentary & Presentation brings us a new broadcaster, new cams, and a new weather system. The only question is, does it matter? NEW LEGENDS- Bob Gibson. Joe Torre, Larry Doby. Finally, the team at This Week in MLB the Show have announced their plans for 2018 and they include a new weekly twitch show!

Over 12 years have passed since the release of Madden NFL 06 but the mere mention of the title still conjures up emotions from sports gaming fans. From an industry standpoint it also could be cited as being a major contributor to a turning point around that time in consumer distrust with not just what publishers would say about games before they released, but also what they showed.  Former lead designer for the Madden NFL series Ian Cummings joins Bryan Wiedey and Rich Grisham to discuss the events surrounding development of that game. Thanks to a piece from Glixel which included interviews with several parties involved in development we've learned a lot about the behind-the-scenes trials and tribulations and here Ian provides additional perspective and his first-person account of everything that took place. Also in this episode T.J. Lauerman goes through the first reveals for MLB The Show 18 which includes a focus on the improvements made to gameplay and the addition of new legends for Franchise and Diamond Dynasty.  On the show this week: Bryan Wiedey, Pastapadre/Sporting News/Hit the Pass (@pastapadre) Rich Grisham, OOTP Developments/Hit the Pass (@richgrisham) Ian Cummings, Third Time Games (@iantcummings) T.J.

Franchise players of MLB The Show have felt little love over the past few years as Diamond Dynasty has surged in popularity. Because of this, some of them have felt neglected. Recently, they took to various message boards to express their frustration. That didn't go well. We discuss their dilemma, whether it's reasonable or not, and also attempt to have a larger conversation about criticism and having a moral code. In addition, Coop & The Weasel discuss the video game industry and why you can't just return "broken" games.

Coop & The Weasel discuss the new Diamond Dynasty decision to make your pitcher's hand a mystery to your opponent. Is this a fair and reasonable way to thwart the players who constantly back out of games if the matchup isn't to their liking, or was there another option? The guys also break down their excitement for the latest legends announced in MLB The Show 17- Jorge Posada, Jim Palmer, Eric Karros, and Harold Reynolds!

Coop and The Weasel explain what is the most important tip to getting better at MLB The Show. It's the exact tip that allowed Coop to go from the CS division into the hallowed WS division, eventually rising to top 30 in Diamond Dynasty. It might be cliche, it might be on the nose, but this will specifically help you hit those high inside fastballs.
