24 Cover Athlete Reveal
-
Although nobody should have an issue if it winds up being Acuna, I am sure there will be a few people arguing that somebody else was more deserving.

@Blind_Bleeder Doubtful. The MLB series has never featured a pitcher on the cover (Ohtani is the obvious asterisk, but even then he was never shown pitching on either cover
Very weird since 2k almost always featured pitchers on the cover
That's why I'm wondering if maybe this is the year. Chances are it's Albies and JRam (because they had tours of the facility in 23 like Jazz did in 22), but you never know. Or maybe, they'll continue their Captain theme for the alternate cover.
I had JRam for the exact reason … Never saw the Albies studio tour though … I would like both. If both were there, we got our choice.
-
J ram will be next gen cover and Ozzie albies will be old gen cover
-
I'm guessing JRAM as well
-
I’m hoping a star from the Negro Leagues who played in MLB is the cover for the special edition. Maybe the player who is the reward for finishing the Negro League program in 24. Now, that would be cool.

Has to be Dodgers Ohtani
-
@LuvMyXBOX It should but
- the colors don't match the Dodgers— not a deal breaker but still notable
- He just signed a deal for Konami's game which has strict rules about exclusive cover star rights
-
ok were only a few days away from the big cover reveal so I will throw my best guess into the hat. I think Ronnie may be a deep fake, but not too far from home, I will go with Ozzie Albies, with him being the final core collection reward and his involvement with SDS seems like a good fit here. I am not guessing he will be on every cover but IMO makes an appearance.
-
Byron Buxton?

Byron Buxton?
I doubt it. I am a Twins fan, but I'm also realistic. He hasn't done much in the game lately to make him a draw to buy the video game. He's had a difficult time even playing an entire season lately.

Considering the color splash of the ad, maybe it's the Brewers or Pirates? Maybe a legend from one and an active player from another?

The graphic in this video is not on any of the MLBTS social channels. So, they probably didn't make it. The one that is by them has yellow around the outside of the graphic. In addition, in their one on Facebook, there is a short clip and at the end, there are two bats. One has a red handle with a black strip separating a gold barrel, and the other is all silver. They both have LS stamped on them.

So what's your guess? Is the video just fan made or is it really Sony?

Fan made. If it was by Sony, it would be on at least one of the MLBTS social media channels.

Okay. Thank you.

I'm sitting here playing the Cardinals, and there is a yellow stripe under their team name on the front of their away jerseys. What if the legend is Pujols? That would match the red/gold bat. Wouldn't that would be cool? On the other hand, the Braves have all three colors in their uniform, so Albies is still the majority pick.

He figured out that it's Ozzie Albies!!!
