Instead of 1 or 2 current Major Leaguers they should keep it one current and one past star like last year.
MLB22 only had Ohtani. MLB20 only had Baez. It’s possible MLB24 only has one player on both covers.
It seems to me that the second cover adds something to the game. Like Jeter added the captain card because he's the captain or there being 42 special "42" cards to represent Jackie Robinson. With Ohtani, the two way player was added, so no secondary cover was needed.

While you’re tabulating all these cover athletes add in the 6 Toronto Blue Jays for Canadian versions of the game from 2012-2017, Jose Bautista got it twice. The Padres, Rangers x2, Pirates and Orioles from the Korean versions from 2006, 2014-2017. Shin-Soo Choo got it twice for Texas. And the Orioles 3 times and Marlins 2 times all for Wei-Yin Chen for the Taiwan covers. Since your tagging in random games and all.
I think you forgot World Series Baseball. Another random game but one with the MLB license.
Dodgers
Giants
Indians
Braves x2
Red Sox
Yankees x3 -

They’ve always had an MVP edition and I don’t recall these special 42 cards. Explain them more to me. I was working and didn’t play DD until 2022.

20 had two different Baez's
21 had Tatis & Robinson
22 had two different Ohtanis
23 had Chisholm & JeterThey've begun a trend with two different covers. I don't see why they'd change now.

Not a big deal. Just cards released to commemorate Jackie. I think they were primarily minority players. Both legend and flashbacks. I used the Keston Hiura card for over a month. The collection was a Jackie card. I think that was the year they also did his awesome AS card.

Although Judge was the first one I purchased, I didn't really start playing until the end of Harper and didn't preorder until Tatis. I do remember Baez being very different than the rest because of Covid.

What if the cover athlete being on both is determined by how big the athlete is? Tatis was also just in the league less than a full season, games played wise. Jazz was Jazz. If 2024 is a mega star they might warrant both the normal cover and special edition cover.

Does anyone know if I can restream the reveal tomorrow?
-
@PenguinPeyton I’ve watched the previous streams off their YouTube channel for prior game launches when I missed them. I assume this one will be on there.
-
Yeah, I wonder if my OT will let me take a break during therapy to watch live. Lol

Today is the day … you also have to ignore this thread to not see all the complaining about a thing (i.e. cover), that really does not matter at all

… Go JRam Yeah, some people will complain no matter who it is.
My main hope is that they have a better cover photo and color scheme this time around.
Speaking of which, given the black and yellow color schemes of the teasers, has anyone guessed a Roberto Clemente cover?

The only year it would have made sense...
-
@SaveFarris_PSN Or maybe save the Clemente program if he was going to be the cover of the special edition the year after the Clemente program.
-
@SaveFarris , I'll put on my Bucs jersey and hope for a Pirates cover. That would certainly fit the definition of "Wild". Maybe one of their huge off-season signings like Rowdy Tellez?
I mean... "Wild"... "Rowdy"... I think I've cracked the case.
SDS - I will pay $1,000 for the "Rowdy Tellez" steel-case edition. No doubt that it becomes a highly sought-after collector's item after he's traded mid-July.

Would Buy Day 1:

Albies and Clemente. That would be a great pair this year. Both match the color scheme and a streamer matched Albies signature on one of the bats in the teaser clip.

You missed my post sharing all the Canadian, Korean and Taiwanese covers. Although in all fairness it didn’t share the athlete names so maybe you didn’t.
