    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.

    Yeah, Ohtani had a rough 2022. That cover jinx is real.

    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 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.

    It’s almost like they are going for a younger audience instead of worrying about what a bunch of miserable pricks(myself included on that) on the forums who represent a small percentage of the player base and are already set on getting the game or not think.

    Also implying that the cover athlete has any correlation to how the game quality will be is as dumb as saying directional hitting is competitive

    That has nothing to do with the cover athlete at all. Jazz is the first CA since Mauer to have any genuine passion for this game(being that he actually regularly plays it). The new legends are going to sell the game for me(nothing to do with how the game plays just burnout). I just think people make the cover athlete out to be way kore of a deal than it is.

    That's a pretty bold statement.

    That means you don't believe that players like

    Adrian Gonzalez
    Andrew McCutchen
    Miguel Cabrera
    Josh Donaldson
    Ken Griffey Jr
    Aaron Judge
    Bryce Harper
    Shohei Ohtani

    Among others had any real compassion for the game?

    Have all of those guys said they play the show like that? I don’t see a few in that list playing video games much.

    I don’t mind it. As long as the game is fun. Ohtani being the cover athlete didn’t get me “excited”. Tatis got me excited. Jazz seems to be an energetic and passionate guy, hopefully that energy and passion relates to the game itself.
