Jazz... 2023

Not only am I disappointed in the choice (even though I expected it) but the quick glance at the cover itself did not impress.

Is he intentionally styled after DJ Jazzy Jeff?
-
The Cover for this game is just pure cringe
It's not a rap album SDS it's a baseball game

So a guy who played 60 games is the cover athlete? Standards for what I expect on the game are extremely low now.
Come on, He has played 1.25 seasons so far certainly he deserves it more than the likes of Goldy, Freeman, Ramirez, Trout, Scherzer, Verlander, Arenado, etc etc

As a die hard Cub fan I would have actually rejoiced if Pujols had been on the cover, but as usual SDS will spit in their player bases' face whenever possible.

As far as I know they have never gotten the rights to a player the year after they retired. I expect no Pujols or Molina in the game this year.

I understand that, but it is almost like they went out of their way to put the guy who kissed their behinds this summer instead of someone much more deserving. But I guess they went with the "even negative talk is still talk" method.

While there are certainly better choices, I have to imagine there are players who are asked that pass on it. A lot of the more veteran players may not want to go through the hassle of flying out to San Diego and doing photo shoots etc. A younger player may be more likely to do it to build their brand and Im sure there is some kind of payout to do it. It's possible they went through a few players before someone said yes.

They probably already did that last summer when he came down to the studio.

I don't care about the cover at all, but putting a guy like Jazz on there shows the level of poverty this franchise has become. Sorry not sorry.

I agree with this, plus the Madden cover jinx is real.
It's true for other sports as well, but no one talks about it. There is an NBA 2K23 jinx going on atm with Devin Booker, lol.
I'm sure that factored in. -

I'm sure that factored in.Yeah, Ohtani had a rough 2022. That cover jinx is real.

At least Jazz gives all you something to be mad about for the next 2 months lol
-
Great cover, y’all!
-
Looking at the cover at the end of the stream. It looks horrendous. It looks like it could be a cover for Just Dance 2023 with that color scheme.

And Tatis was terrible in 21 :). Can you imagine though if he was the cover athlete last year and all that happened? SDS would have been so bummed.

I'm old enough to remember when they put the best player's in the game on the cover.

Orestes Destrade is rolling over in his grave.

I am not upset at all. It just shows SDS doing their usual low effort work again. I can now guarantee there will be a ton of bugs on opening, with lots of server crashes upon launch and all the old glitches from previous editions intact.
Just a pricey roster update with a fresh coat of paint slapped on it.
Working as intended.
