Am I the only one who doesn't care one but who'll be on the cover? I'd prefer them to save the resources and hire some quality devs instead to code an enjoyable game. That being said, if I'd have to bet money I'd say it's Julio.
I highly doubt the cover costs them any significant amount of resources where it effects other parts of the game....
Probably true. Stil prefer them to put the focus on the things that matter, which is most definitely gameplay.
No one who does the cover would have anything to do with gameplay, shout out to the art department bc they'd be the ones doing the cover.
Nitpicking in the morning... are you that guy at work who says "sorry, that's not my department", while you kick you legs up?
The executives have a strategy and a plan for this franchise as a whole, it's not just a band of "art department" employees and a different band of coders, believe it or not.Nope, I work just about every department in my store, I'm not nitpicking, you have every right to gripe about the state of the game, but griping just to gripe (which is what we have here), is silly.
And just to show you why I say that, griping just to gripe is taking every opportunity, even stupid ones like a cover athlete that has no effect on the gameplay, and turning it into your crusade.
You're annoyed because I pointed out obvious things
Attention Walmart Shoppers......Really???
You jest, but Walmart pays extremely good bonuses for managers and makes for a decent career.
I will remember to say Hi to you at the door if I ever stop in Missouri.
One more say on this. I've met some of the most amazing people with this job, you may thumb your nose and look down on them, but we have some hard-working friendly people that I count myself lucky to be able to know them.
Nobody should ever look down on a person making an honest living, no matter what they do. Where I'm from, people would always tell us to go to school and learn a profession, because you don't want to end up collecting garbage. But without people who collect our garbage, our society falls apart real quick. Without people in supermarkets who put food on the shelves, we will starve real quick. There's nothing more honorable than making an honest living and providing for your family by any means neccesary, regardless of what it is you do. We weren't all born to be presidents or CEO's.
I can only officially like this one time, but unofficially i am adding infinite likes to this cause this is exactly right.

Even video game companies have to be very careful in today's social climate hysteria.
Gotta be all inclusive.
Maybe one of the Rockford Peaches?
Fidel Castro? He was a very good player and Socialism is all the rage these days.
I vote for Domingo Ayala. Pop the chain every tine, unless you're semi-pro (please tell me you guys know Domingo Ayala) -
Jazz Chisholm for cover
-
I would like Juan Soto or Arenado. Not sure why nobody guesses the following: Goldy, Arenado, Manny, JoRam, Acuna, Freddie, Altuve, Yordan, Lindor, Trea, Wander. Why does everyone assume Julio or Jazz? I’d be cool with whatever just seems like they have lots of great options.

I see Acuna, Soto and Wander as outsiders. The rest is unlikely in my opinion for various reasons.

I do not understand Jazz as a choice at this point. He is a career 4.9 WAR player. He had a great start to the season last year and that’s about it. Just doesn’t seem like he’s done anything to warrant being the face of the franchise yet. The operative word being yet. If he breaks out and stays healthy he’d be a great choice next year. At least Julio had a whole solid year, and an awesome Home run Derby performance.
If I were picking I’d go with one of these 5 understanding that they prefer young and flashy players.
Juan Soto
Vlad Guerrero
Julio Rodriguez
Ronald Acuna Jr.
Manny Machado (he’s not “young” anymore but definitely deserving) -
Here comes the Judge, again !
-
Who I want? Pujols. But he most likely won't be in the game at all.
I'm thinking Judge. Got a lot of press last year, is one of the more recognizable players in MLB and plays for a large market team.
Goldschmidt as NL MVP should be in the conversation but I just can't see them going with Goldy. He's not flashy enough.
Machado as runner up is a possibility but I can't see them doing another Padre so soon after the Tatis cover.
Arenado as the 3rd place finisher could also be considered. I think they would prefer him to Goldy.In the end it will be somebody that they think will sell more copies which lately has meant players from larger market teams.

I'll be shocked if they give it to someone who only played 60 games and didn't play a game after June.

And has a career 4.9 WAR. I get it, he’s young and flashy and full of potential. But seriously at least have the criteria be a solid complete year under their belt. Julio should be the absolute bottom of the barometer.
Oh man, I wish they’d put Pujols on the Deluxe edition.

Ugh. No. That would be like putting Moonlight Graham on the cover. Yes, he is the immortal 23...in basketball...wrong BB.

I hope it's a Brave, Marlin, Nat, and Phillie, to jinx those NL East foes. LFGM!

He's already worked with SDS and is a big fan of this game. Its the easiest route for SDS to go

My guess is that the purple (Jazz/Miami) themed graphics for the reveal announcement is a ruse, and the actual cover athlete will be 2022 All-Star and Gold Glove winning, Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
-
They're just throwing people off with this color scheme stuff to get people to speculate and talk on social. I can totally see a scenario where the cover athlete doesn't have any correlation with these colors whatsoever. I know everyone is high on Jazz Chisholm for all reasons mentioned, but tbh that would be such a weird choice at this stage of his young career. But then again they did put Yasiel Puig on the cover too so who knows. My money is not on Jazz tho.
-
People are getting emails that have different color scheme graphics and background shapes. If we could get all of the different graphics together and assemble them like a puzzle????
Since the game isn't exciting to think about lately, at least this is.
-
All due respect to Jazz, but he in no way deserves the cover. Hopefully it’s not him. But then again, it really doesn’t matter.
