Nope! Change doesn’t happen if the issues are swept under the rug for future generations to deal with. Indigenous Australians were not granted the right to vote in elections until 1962. Why? Because it took around 175 years for them to be recognised as true citizens of the land they inhabited long before Europeans came along.
Certainly not saying that a video game featuring women will suddenly eliminate misogyny in the world but it’s all about chipping away and rewriting the norm.
I got banned and blocked talking real history and facts like this. Anything that would cause school textbooks from.being rewritten is subject to ban. Includes anything of substance about any topic..Mind you I was just adding to a thread.Stuff you can Google with a tag "4Horseman of Bank and Oil" and how you can down a rabbit hole just from googling that to what is happening now. Also how certain families that are part of the Fed Reserve Cartel which isn't part of the US but World Bank gangsters.Same people who cause that housing crisis and top heads seen no jail.$20 mil severance for taking advantage of poor. Capitalism.Communism. and socialism are built around the main ism that has been exploited FOREVER CLASSISM. Banned me for being political.Its not Its a fact of life.Again building on someone else's thread at the time..I came for baseball .Something I know something about.No sheep here Shepard maybe

Didn't even know that locked thread got revived until just now.
But while we're on the subject, you guys are totally fine with Class A Nolan Gorman having better attributes than Eddie Mathews, but cry realism the second someone suggests a 14 year old girl playing the game should be able to create a female CAP.

They should make it where you can create a female player. Lot of daughters out there who would love to have themselves in MLB THE SHOW as a created player just like their brothers can.

There are genetic differences between men and women, bottom line, and denying that with smokescreen arguments referencing Australian Aborigines is completely off the mark. Generally speaking, with few outliers, men are physically stronger, hence the reason that men only play professional baseball. If that changes, I’m quite certain that you would see women in the game, and rightfully so, since the games intention is a realistic simulation of baseball.
On the flip side of the coin, men can never give birth, that is a genetic, anatomical difference. Should we seek change from such injustice? My point, denial of such reality is a futile existence.
A couple of things that I would like to say in response:
- Baseball isn’t just about physical strength. Ichiro, Dee Gordon, Jose Altuve, Chad Bradford, RA Dickie, Rickey Henderson.... etc
- Are you suggesting that the best women playing baseball would still not be as good as the worst men? At a school level we’ve selected girls for state championship teams because they have not only been better than some of the boys who trial, they’ve been the best players who trial. Furthermore, we need to stop telling young girls and (especially) boys that baseball is for men because men are better.
- Women-only births is not a man-made exclusiveness. Baseball’s gender bias is.
I’m not advocating to have women play in the MLB. Although the idea isn’t necessarily a bad one.

Lmk when you can find a woman that throws 95 and can hit a 100mph sinker then this can become an actual discussion. Until then you’re wasting everyone’s time
Should all those players who can’t fulfil these criteria be removed from the game?

Turned into a bit of a slinging match so understandably it was locked off.
There needs to be some conversation about the issue. Let’s hope it continues, and in a civil way this time
Have you tried "Baseball Stars" on the original Nintendo? It has a team called "Lovely Ladies".

Couldn't you just create a CAP with a girls name?

There is no actual rule that women can't play in the MLB, but rather that there hasn't been any with the physical capabilities required to play at even a minor league level.
Sure technically this is a "fantasy" game to some extent, but why just stop here? Why not make your a CAP a half human alien in a wheel chair in a furry costume?
As another poster pointed out, we can just give our CAPs a woman's name. Considering you can identify as whatever one wants these days, problem solved then.

Let women in, do it the way NHL video games have if you don't want the option you don't use it. It will have 0 effect on men playing this game just like it has 0 effect on the men playing NHL video games.

Just some things to consider:
- Last year there was Heidi Watney or whatever her name was, so there's that.
- It's a pretty reasonable request to allow players to make a RTTS or CAP that's female. I think after all the outlandish, offensive, or ridiculous CAPs I've seen over the years it's hard to argue that having a female would be too much. What are you really saying if a guy who's 6'7" and under 160 lbs with maxed out head size and blonde dreads is "realistic enough" while a female of any sort is too much? What are you saying if "Stubby [censored]" is okay, but a female of any sort isn't?

I agree. I have seen plenty of racist CAP’s. That would be cool if you could make a CAP a female. It might make more girls interested in the game.
