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
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.
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.
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.

At least Jazz gives all you something to be mad about for the next 2 months lol
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.

Adrian Gonzalez
Andrew McCutchen
Miguel Cabrera
Josh Donaldson
Ken Griffey Jr
Aaron Judge
Bryce Harper
Shohei OhtaniAmong 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.
-
Plot twist: they have a big new legend for the special edition and that’s why a weaker cover like Jazz was selected for the standard. They would sell more of the expensive version of its a nostalgic/big name legend on it.

All because of who they selected? I’m not a fan of this cover but…. Who could they have selected that would somehow indicate they were going the extra mile to make this game better? I’m not really sure how picking one player over another equates to the amount of effort put in. Would Soto or Vlad have required more effort, showcasing how the game was gonna be amazing?
I get it, for those who have played this game for years, I’m sure it’s frustrating to see the same stuff year after year. I’ve played DD in 21 and 22. There were some big differences, but overall I had a similar experience. I enjoyed the game. I hope there are new features this year and gameplay is a little better but otherwise, I’m sure I’ll enjoy the game again.

Just goes to further prove my point that SDS doesn’t even watch baseball and picked jazz because he’s a fanboy

Yes we do. SDS tweets out every time they give someone "the real" player cards. most of them aren't players most have heard of

I don't disagree with you about Chisholm loving the game. He crushed me pretty badly the one time I played him, but I instantly recognized the footage they used on the reveal from the summer footage they used when he came to the studio.
Either
EA SportsSDS was very proactive in getting their cover athlete in advance to avoid the predictable "athlete name" was in San Diego today. Is he the cover athlete?"Or, they were super lazy and couldn't get the guy they wanted so the used the existing footage for the game. I am actually leaning towards the first scenario, and I have made my dislike of SDS pretty well known.
But I still expect 23 to be a fresh coat of paint on last years game.

Tatis got me excited.
I actually have the alternate Jackie Robinson, and am happier with him than Tatis, and that was before all the shenanigans he had afterwards.
If he can get his head out of his ahem, you know where, he could really be a force for the Padres when he finally returns, but I can't remember if he will even be eligible to this year.
