nothing to gripe about jazz specifically, but a mediocre year and career as of now is kinda tough. that being said im buying mlb not bc whos on the cover but logging in and seeing 250 avg jazz there is gonna be annoying. always enjoyed the "mvp" or atleast a very electric player in a breakout year or something along those lines like a tatis, cutch, etc. kinda like all stars nowadays guess really anyone can become a cover athlete. guess I should find a site to bet david peralta for the special edition series cover

I don't really care who's on the cover. That's not why I play the game. I would much rather see a veteran player who's proven to be one of the best but that's just my opinion. It is what it is. I'm sure that I'll get tired of seeing Jazz on everything this year though.

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.
If they have an exclusive rights deal with the players union, do they really need a current players permission?

This just further demonstrates the disconnect sds has with its fan base.

My question is why is his primary position CF?

Just goes to further prove my point that SDS doesnāt even watch baseball and picked jazz because heās a fanboy
Possibly, but the reveal "show" was so cringey that I think it was far more embarrassing than choosing Chisholm. Bringing in an NBA player to hype a baseball game? Really? They could have ponied up the money to get at least one MLB player that is an actual player of the show. Heck they could have even used it to set a false flag for the cover athlete.
The feed was running non stop with "nobody cares what this guy has to say" and "just show the stinking cover"
Imagine the scene Blake Snell or Julio Rodriguez is doing the interview instead, and the SDS guy says "so, how do you feel about being on the cover of the game?" and have the athlete goes "great, but it's actually (holds up large posterboard of actual cover).
Far more entertaining than what we got instead.
The stream was awful. No disagreement there.
I had Shelfy on Twitch on my I-Pad and the Facebook group feed on my phone.
Everyone was either whining or cracking jokes about the wait. One guy said he missed his flight watching, lolz -

Technically they may not need their permission but they generally do photo shoots promotional material etc which would require at least a few trips out to the studio. I just think a more veteran player who may not be all that into video games may not be all that interested.

Being IN a video game and being ON a video game are two different things and requires two different rights deals.

the awkward thing to me is he will likely be a gold for most of the year since he put up next to no stats this year and i don't think he is a great player when you put his numbers into game attributes. Of course I expect him to be completely juiced because cover boy but I personally rather wait until future stars to juice a bunch of no names. At this point though why not put someone like Jackson Holliday on the cover. At least then we can get matt holliday back in the game for more fathers day content

No one knows who this guy is
Weird how much āhateā there is for Jazz and him getting the cover
I wonder whyā¦(I think I have an idea)

all people do is complain. Jazz is awesome with the mlb the show community, fun and exciting to watch, who cares that hes not the best, this is awesome for marketing and growing Jazz's name but also educates newer baseball fans.

yes, to inform or give intellectual, moral, or social instruction. People on this forum are the biggest whiners man, it's so weird to constantly complain, like it's 100 percent warranted at SDS but [censored], to non stop complain and whine every single day. Weirdo energy.

its the same people that whine on here on a daily basis, saying that this is their "final year" playing only by May to see a constant thread of them complaining about how bad game play is and how they "wont be playing next years version". The cover looks sick, the art is awesome, the game comes out earlier than expected, lighten up folks.
