Who's the NEW LEGEND ON APRIL 25?
-
@Dinger_Dan19_PSN I would love Arod. But a guy like that would be the cover athlete. They wouldn’t just add him in like that.

Not sure they would put him on the cover. He's still quite hateable.
I would skip a year of the Show to avoid seeing this guy the whole year:
-
SDS just posted that the new Legend is a Hall of Famer so that will narrow down the list.
Thinking Ichiro...
-
Yeah Ichiro or Rolen seem like the most likely.
-
Arod Mariner card we had during the early days of DD would be sick. Gotta be a 99 though. I know He is in the Hall of Roids
-
Yogi Berra
-
Either way, im guessing the new legend will be in the new Mini Seasons....and then we'll get the posts from the crybabies and their usual "what happened to play your way? Why am i forced to play mini seasons for this card" [censored].
-
@PAinPA_PSN I’d be happy with Ichiro back in the game.
-
They said it was a hall of famer
-
Nomaaaaaah
-
It will be Shadeur Sanders, out of pity that homie still ain't get picked yet . Oops 🤪
-
Hopefully Kirby Puckett
-
@raidingfridges_MLBTS in his honour they should add the ability to throw the ball in the stands behind first.
-
@Rubbaneck34_XBL they’re not bringing him back; they took him out in 21 or 22 for being “problematic”

While I have nothing against Scott Rolen, he just doesn't have anywhere near the same name value or star appeal as Ichiro. There are baseball fans who probably couldn't even pick him out of a lineup.
An Ichiro reveal sets the Legends/Flashbacks market on fire while Rolen would likely result in a major selloff and crash for those cards.
Again, I think Rolen was a fantastic player in his prime and worthy of his HOF induction, but he would be considered a major letdown now that the Ichiro hype train has gained momentum.
-
@yankblan_PSN Problematic, how? Puckett is dead!
-
@xsdert34_PSN google it, not making it up
-
@SakAttack87_PSN yeah, I’d rather have a Moises Alou, Andy Van Slyke, Darren Daulton or Bobby Bonilla than Rollens. Not saying he doesn’t belong in the HoF if you compare him to others, but never when I saw him play has anything screamed “HoFamer”. Bland and efficient; good in real life, death in video games.

The only flavor more vanilla than vanilla is Scott Rolen.
Feel like I'm launching a hate campaign, but he's just a name that I don't think moves the needle.
Meanwhile, you got people with their credit cards on standby if they announce Ichiro. Small sample size of course, but I've got two friends who've been playing The Show for years that decided to skip this year. They both admitted if Ichiro gets dropped they're 100% back.
I used to think someone like Ichiro would only be included before release to help drive presales. However, we are only a month removed from launch and he would absolutely sway some holdouts to pull the trigger and get the game. Also, his skill set (max contact/defense/speed with low power) is perfect for the early part of the game cycle as he will be viable in the outfield for a long time before the 125 power goons creep in.
Man, I think I'm setting myself up to be disappointed.

I know the history of Kirby Puckett developing glaucoma after being hit by a baseball, resorting to drugs, and having affairs after he was forced to retire from baseball. In addition, I learned about this from "Baseball Tonight" on ESPN in the 1990's; not from Google. Still Puckett is a Hall-of-Famer, whether people agree about it or not? There are plenty of Hall-of-Famers in this game that had more serious problems than him, and yet they're in the game, and he is not.
