Jazz... 2023

Hahaha, this post got crazy real fast. Eh, All I’m thinking is they kinda let the cat out of the bag last year when they had that whole segment on Jazz creating his card and visiting SDS. No need for the lengthy stream trying to build drama when you more or less told everyone it was Jazz last year. I think he was having an exciting season, made the All Star team and that is when they chose him. It’s fine, it’s a silly cover. To me it looks like a cheesy 90s wrestling VHS cover but hey… I loved those.
I don’t believe the cover choice has anything to do with how the game will look and play. That’s a whole other discussion. People hated the Takashi cover last year, but once those cards started rolling out like Delgado, Babe, Foxx and Griffey, nobody cared anymore. It’s a cover. I just hope they have a cool new legend for the special edition.

I don't believe anybody actually does.

I do too but, as with most things regarding SDS, I will not be holding my breath.

Just goes to further prove my point that SDS doesn’t even watch baseball and picked jazz because he’s 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.
Donovan Mitchell Sr is an executive for the NY Mets, I could be wrong but I believe Donovan Mitchell Jr played high school baseball and is a big mets fan and MLB TheShow fan as well, they brought him in to hype mets fans and get them thinking it was Lindor.

So a guy who played 60 games is the cover athlete? Standards for what I expect on the game are extremely low now.
Hey, a team that played 60 got a WS trophy.

If we HAVE to have a Marlin, I'd much rather have...
No one knows who this guy is
Weird how much “hate” there is for Jazz and him getting the cover
I wonder why…(I think I have an idea)
What is your idea on why people don't like this choice?

I’ll say it, because he’s got dark colored skin. Doesn’t mean everyone that hates the cover dislikes it for that reason but it would be naive to not acknowledge that there are plenty of dbags that think that way.

Are there posts users made in reference to that? I don't recall seeing any. Was there an uproar for Tatis, Baez, Judge, Griffey Jr., Puig, Cabrera, Cutch, Gonzalez, Howard, or Ortiz? Genuine question as I wasn't around for all of those.

Not sure I just joined the forums couple years ago. I’m not even saying anyone on the forums has had that as a reason. Don’t play dumb tho and pretend that there aren’t people out there that are mad every time a non whitr guy is on anything.every time

Sorry, but I for one would have preferred many of the other suggestions. I just don't like it when some makes any criticism of this about skin tone. Shows me who the REAL racist is.

You really think so? Man if people have an issue with that nowadays, they might as well stop watching baseball altogether. Half of MLB is Dominican/Puerto Rican/Cuban
. Would be kinda hypocritical to have those opinions and still watch and root for any team, would it not? -

Bro can you read? I said there are plenty of legit reasons to not like the cover. All I said was that it is naive to not think there are some racist dbags that are mad about it

Yeah but you could literally say that about anything they choose a person for. And especially if it is a "lighter" colored skin person chosen. You can bet there are a TON of Dbags that think the same thing.

To be honest with you, I have never met one of those people so I don't really know. I'm not from here (USA), moved here a little over a year ago. Plenty of diversity here in South Texas, and even though I'm not naive to think those people don't exist here, everyone seem to get along just fine.
-
I can think of two other players I would’ve selected before Jazz. Acuna or Soto come to mind. Both are established stars something Jazz is not. Both of whom have huge national and international followings not just a local following like Jazz. But to me it’s about the game itself not the cover.
-
My biggest complaint about Jazz being chosen is simply that he didn't play enough last year (60 games), and has only played 205 games total (1.25 seasons worth).
My hate for the cover has nothing to do with the athlete and everything to do with the color scheme (pink/fuscia and purple) and the silly pose that they chose from Jazz. If not for the MLB logo on the cover you would be hard pressed to know that it is even a baseball game if you were just browsing games in a store.

I don’t care who’s on the cover. It’s it’s the same game with the same issues the rest doesn’t matter

It doesn't impact the game but it is the first news about The Show 23 we have so it will be discussed to death until we get something more to discuss or argue over.

I think it's best not to assume things about people. There's enough real negativity in this world already. That being said, I'm out. This thread has already gone down the toilet.
