Do these players have to die first before they can use their likeness? I seriously think any player who doesn't want to be in the video game is greedy af.
It's a video game they can't pay every one... be in the game and let young fans who never got to see you play use your fictional player. Even if it's marginal you can still extend your legacy through a game.
So basicly you wants someone to just give up their likeness for free.
I'm sorry but this is a bad take. These players know their worth and put a price tag on the use of their name and likeness.
Nothing wrong with knowing your worth but also have to consider certain names SDS may not want to associate with from a business standpoint or are contractual not allowed to have in the game. It's very possible MLB as part of the licensing agreement said here is a list of players names who are not allowed in the game r the contract is void.
It's not as easy to just say be in the game

Yes!

I’m sure you’d have no problem with someone else making money on your name, image and likeness.

Agreed -- especially for the legends (and their estates) who played in the pre-big money days. Now, if SDS can't get Jeter in the game because he's asking for too much money, then that's a different story... but I don't blame, like, Lefty Grove's heirs for getting as much as they possibly can for his likeness.

Hahaha, sorry. I thought you were requesting a John Axford, I was at work so I didn't know they'd already released it. And since he wasn't in the game to my knowledge last year, I thought this was a random request that magically got answered haha. Sarcasm sometimes goes over my head.

For a baseball game... yes I would. If a major corporation was using my likeness than I'd get what I can.
Again we are talking about the ultra rich here... its a fricken baseball game get a grip
