Only ten new legends this year…
-
@Easy_Duhz_It_ My mistake. That’s late in my eyes, but that would be the same timeline as the trailer we just got.
-
Ok I’ll agree he might not be cover material I forgot he wasn’t the nicest person on the field lol. Assuming there is a big name still it just doesn’t make sense to me to hold it. People are clearly not happy/ disappointed with this game so far as a whole makes me wonder if the game will just be a huge disappointment
-
Yeah, so Mantle was 2020 6 days before release. Maybe this year will just be a complete disappointment.
-
No one is buying/not buying the game based on the inclusion of any one player. Not how these games work.
-
@GradektheBard ehhh I doubt that.. guarantee there were first time Show buyers once Jeter was announced last year
That may be true this year though
-
@GradektheBard you definitely cannot accurately make that statement at all lol
-
Geezus... are we using the word Legends loosely here? The names listed above there maybe handful would qualify as such. The NGL Players, guys in HoF (not beltre dude just got in hows that a Legend). I dunno, my definition of a Legend is different i guess.
-
It would be nice to get some bigger names but it’s not terrible.
Johan Santana
Adrian Beltre
Josh Gibson
Buck Leonard
Toni Stone
Rafael Palmiero
Paul O’Neil
Bernie Williams
Andy Pettite
Andrew Miller
Tony Oliva
Richie Sexson
John Kruk
Rich Aurilia
Brian Dozier -
@Bearsfan217
I agree but their definition of legend for game purposes- any retired player.
-
don't you think that if he really wanted to then he would have been already, and plus all his antics on the field and being suspended for peds is a huge red flag
-
To me I think there is a bigger surprise looming cause the legends trailer each year always feature that one or two Signature star at the end, this year it was the Kingdome. The stream will likely feature the big legend.
I'm starting to get excited for the game but I'm tampering my expectations
-
@sbchamps17 SDS has already shown that PEDs arent a red flag for them. Sheffield and Ortiz have been in the game for years, they brought back Sosa and McGwire last year and they got Pettitte and Palmeiro this year.
-
@GradektheBard That’s not what I was suggesting. To me, the lead up to this years game is by far the least exciting and I’ve been preordering this game since the beginning. Not having a significant legend will just be icing on the cake.
-
@CDNmoneymaker93 I feel like showing The Kingdome and having Griffey running through is their way of announcing Griffey as the collection reward or something stupid.
-
@Easy_Duhz_It_ Was he the collection reward in 17 or just on the cover?
-
Sometimes some threads are hard to take …
First: Imagine, they usually drop some legends each year, e.g. remember Ray Durham from 22 (I shouldn‘t have said that, I know :))
Second: The Trailer is always the starting point. They have always announced some over the course of the game
Third: Relax … maybe?!?To the trailer: I take it from the positive side and really love me some nice LH Johan … I never imagined, Kruk could be in … very nice imo …

You could be right or maybe Griffey gets a story line as well

@arvcpa
All star game Kruk needs to be a switch hitter if they make the card lol
Wouldn’t have helped just ask Larry walker lol
-
@GoozeFn honestly i dont even remember. I didnt even finish live series that year. I think i was playing mostly RTTS or something
-
@borderpatrollin
I'm hoping we get A-Rod or Frank Robinson revealed during the stream on the 14th....if Beltre is the biggest "legend" and or if he's the MLB reward, that will be quite deflating.
This is really feeling like we're getting MLBTS 23.5
