What can be done about acquiring players rights?

@SaveFarris Don't know what your point is but nobody calls Activision a small development team. It gets real old when the facts are right on the game.

@fubar2k7 Even crazier is you think a 250 man development team is small.
Activision has 9,000 employees, so...
EA has 13,400 employees and look at this link I have provided for him.

All it took was about a minute for me to find the net worth of the 3 companies.
Activision is worth $74.82 billion
EA is worth $35.13 billion
SDS is worth $402 millionThe 3 aren’t in the same league.

People in the credits aren’t developers. You don’t get it. Russell Ramone is in there. He didn’t make the game. He just promotes it. Trust me. I’m being nice.

@NCStateHokie They are not a small development team. I don't know why you guys say this stuff.
Because in the official credits, the amount of people on the "Development Team" is 235 (and that includes pure marketing-side folks like Ramone and Ashley that don't actually develop.)
Everyone else either works for Sony or MLB.

That guy is clearly the user formerly known as @SkunkyTrees1977 by the way.

@SaveFarris I understand that not everyone listed actually works for SDS. If you'd take the time to actually go through it you'd see who actually works at SDS. My point is this isn't a small development team. Stop with the narrative. It's right there for you to see.

That IS a small development team when compared to other games of MLB The Show's ilk (Madden, FIFA, Super Mario, Call of Duty).
You want to compare it to some Flash-based web game, yeah. But when compared to development teams for other AAA titles... not so much.

I was thinking about this after watching the Yogi Berra documentary. I wonder if they’ve ever reached out to his family for rights.
He was in the game a few years ago.

@SaveFarris This a yearly top selling game. Stop with the small development team narrative. Now you say it's small compared to other companies. Just count the developers yourself in the game. Same yourself some humiliation
-
@NCStateHokie For some reason they get in their feelings when someone posts something they don't agree with. I don't know how many developers there actually are. I just know there are lots and lots listed in the game.

I also like waffles. But not as much as pancakes.
