I’m a Sox diehard, and a Kevin “Cowboy Up” Millar fan. But I would have zero interest in using his or any of these other cards.

So scabs? That…aren’t in the union?
-
I have zero interest in using any of those cards, plus they really weren't any good when they played

What? Are you serious? No interest in Millar? Did you watch the Netflix documentary on the '04 Sox?
Millar was pretty much the star of the whole thing. Maybe not the best player but a huge personality and his clubhouse presence was a major factor in their success.
I'd love a Millar card.

Millar was one of my favorite players on that team. I lived it and watched the documentary. But his card would be as useless as Greg Vaughn or Richie Sexton in the video game.

See I actually loved that Greg Vaughn card. Hidden gem.
That's why I want SDS to sign more second tier stars. It would help with theme teams and there would be more hidden gems.
The Red Sox theme team is pathetic this year. And it's even worse when you try for an '04 Sox team.

I really hope the theme of the first whatever replaces seasons is Fresh Start as a proper series
They should aim to give every team at least 2 or 3 of these.

A bigger factor in their success...

Besides, I don't think TheShow rates on "personality" and "clubhouse presence".

@SaveFarris_PSN The Reds ended their deal with Diamond so Reds.TV and no local blackouts has to be up there with 7 bobble head days
-
Assuming the 'no blackouts' thing is true (I'll believe it when I see it, which I won't because I'm not in the market), the dip in revenue from bringing broadcasts in-house puts the Reds in a permanent underclass where they won't be able to compete.
But Jake Fraley is cool...

Problem is that this is probably not possible. Not every team is adding players. I am not expecting the Cardinals to sign anyone or even get any MLB ready players back in trades. Even if they do it will be some backup player that nobody cares enough about to want a card.

Me and a friend used to have to create Mets Rick Reed in Triple Play Baseball every season! We always created him to what would be a 99 in today's games!
Cory Lidle's passing really hit me hard. I think we had to create him as well. I remember finding out listening to 'Mike & the Maddog.' I couldn't believe it.
I don't think the union would want a card series like this, though. -

How is it pathetic? Maybe in the Bull Pen.

They can give prospect cards for the trades.
Maybe not every team has a big enough player for it to be the TA set (I don't think Rockies fans will be excited for a Kyle Farmer as their main card). but it can certainly augment the roster of cards available for theme team building (Player or offline modes). Sure, an 85 Austin Nola isnt going to make someone's god squad, but its not like the rockies are getting any other theme team catchers anytime soon.
There are certainly enough mid tier players changing hands though, and it might be the only reasonable chance to give some of these guys cards related to the 2025 season. Especially relievers.
If nothing else, the game could use a large influx of lower diamonds to make more varied CPU opponents. This is one of the few things NBA2K does right. Yes, they can more easily license the older guys but they also have a healthy supply of players of all tiers to create CPU teams from

The "older" NBA players are in their 40s and 50s. All the Russell/Oscar/Wilt era legends have been picked clean. MLB has twice as much history as the NBA and thus has a much longer list of "no longer with us" legends where getting rights is much more difficult and costly.

I would love to have a game with every semi decent 80s/90s/00s player for MLB that I have watched over the years. This is what 2K does. However, the player unions are different so its not reasonable to expect The Show can do this, and MLB teams are bigger as well.
I wish there was a way where The Show could increase its revenue, and use that not to line Sony's pockets but to get legends, while still maintaining its relatively player friendly status. What that actually looks like though, I have no idea. I know what I personally would be willing to pay but its going to be different for other people
