Why is Derek Jeter not in the game?
-
Idk how these contracts work but they just seem like some greedy old guys tryna squeeze a few more coins outta their heyday. Its not like theyre expected to sit at a computer to render their own characters
You played pro baseball and youre really gonna stress over a video game check? Especially the ones with other, more lucrative revenue streams. Id be grateful fans still wanna play as me in a video game post-retirement. Nevermind the exposure to younger fans who might not be familiar with them. I hated playing basketball games in the 90s and neverrr getting to play as jordan. I wanna play as john rocker, randy johnson, clemens, pettite, daryl strawberry, jeter, garciaparra, -ayrod 
, manny ramirez, albert belle…. Maybe ive just played too much nba2k myteam where they have 98% of iconic players (charles barkley and reggie miller need to quit acting bougy with their wendy’s and tnt paychecks 
) .. DO IT FOR THE FANS, DO IT FOR THE GAME! Rant over. -

So many missing players in this game. Granted I'm new to this series but it seems like rather than 2 or 3 different levels of one player it would be better to have more new players. I'd love to see a Mark Grace, Rick Sutcliff, Andre Dawson among some of my other favorite Cubs from back in the day. Really want a Daryl Kile and Randy Johnson more than anything else.
Daryl Kyle was awesome and I agree he would cool to have in the game. It's a shame he passed away so early I loved watching him pitch in Houston, what a curve ball

It should be an honor for players to be in this game. They should do if for free. I have to assume that some players are just greedy.

I used to like Travis (Pronk) Hafner when he was playing for the Indians. Would like to see him in the game at some point. -Ben

I believe he was in the game last year or the year before. Guy had a great few years in Cleveland. Just kept getting injuries. I remember when he became a yankee. He was just a shell of himself

I wish they would add him back into the game.

He's not going to be in the game again, he made comments that result in SDS not continuing their businesses relationship. The same thing happen with Albert Bell and Lenny Dysktra in 18

Well bummer. Thanks for the info.

As for Kile, Fernandez, and Halladay, who passed away too young,, I'm guessing SDS would have to have their respective families approval.
Maybe it's too much for them to see their likeness in a game.
As for Jeter, I know how he carried himself. Very private and gave vanilla answers as a player. I think he doesn't want to be in a game anymore.
While he played, he was the cover star of All-Star Baseball for a few years, but while he was active.
It's maybe more complicated than we think at times. -
probably because they dont want to release his card with common defense as it should be.

Does anybody have a clue on why? I think a lot of fans would be stoked to get him. Do you think SDS finally give him us this year or not?
yeah jeter is about money and would cost a ton for them to get. BTW he would suck in this game. He was a contact hitter and a poor defender with not much speed. He wouldn't be good.

Not sure anyone would want his common defense at short tbh
-
Does it have anything to do with the fact he is a minority owner of the Marlins? I’m not sure, I know you have to pay for likeness but don’t past players still have to be members of the PA as well?

Jeter has to keep a low profile while he tries to take down Wall Street and the big banks.

It was crazy, I believe they said his dad and grandfather both died before 30 from heart conditions as well.

I'm pretty sure he was like world series season 1 or 2 that year super early on and never got another card so he was an after thought
