You realize this...
while SDS might not be free to post anything they want
Directly contradicts this...
I don’t see Nike being the problem and holdup here
I don't understand Nike's motivation or reasoning either, but the ball is in their court and their court alone.

SDS has to create and program the equipment models into the game so this is just false.

@sds_joek_psn @SDS_JoeK are you able to provide any context into how this process works?

The can't just copy and paste from the previous year?
That's weird, because they can do that for all the LS cards, the stadiums, the sponsorships, the uniforms, the icons, the banners, the stadium sounds, and the animations.
Why is it only the equipment that has to be designed from scratch every year?

@SaveFarris_PSN I'm talking about new equipment. Each brand releases new cleats and batting gloves and other equipment every year

Warner Brothers releases new movies every year. Do streaming services have to get the rights to show them even if they streamed older WB movies previously?

I think what he's trying (and failing miserably) to say is that since there is already Nike equipment in the game and clearly SDS already has their license (this goes for every other brand as well), why aren't new pieces of equipment being added since they already have Nike and co.'s license? It's most likely a legal issue, but it can also be SDS's laziness which I would not rule out. -
@SaveFarris_PSN and you tried to tell me I contracted myself…smh.
First you say the ball is in Nike’s court and their court alone, then you say why can’t SDS not just copy over from previous games (ball not in Nike’s court).
You say why does equipment have to be designed from scratch, I clearly explain I’m talking about new equipment (can’t just be copied over) and you just go right back to permission even though you just said why does equipment have to be remodeled every year.
You’re acting like the only thing that has to happen is Nike give the rights to use their equipment, just not accurate. Someone has to actually design and program the equipment into the game, you’re missing that part in your argument.

@TheBigPapa55_PSN Am I failing miserably? This guy said why can’t they just copy over from previous games when this whole post centered around updated equipment smh. He’s not getting it.

@TBruno2009_PSN
Not really failing miserably but lacking the right wording rather. -

Because you did.

Correct. In order to use new equipment, it must be licensed by Nike. The OLD equipment already exists in previous versions and has already been licensed. Therefore (unless there's an established time limit on the license), the old equipment can be carried over.
You say why does equipment have to be designed from scratch, I clearly explain I’m talking about new equipment (can’t just be copied over) and you just go right back to permission even though you just said why does equipment have to be remodeled every year.
Yes, new equipment means new permissions must be obtained. Old equipment means you can use the old permissions.
You’re acting like the only thing that has to happen is Nike give the rights to use their equipment, just not accurate. Someone has to actually design and program the equipment into the game, you’re missing that part in your argument.
SDS isn't going to design and program the equipment UNTIL they first get permissions. Otherwise, it's a fool's errand.
-
@SaveFarris_PSN this whole post is about new equipment. No one cares about the old equipment.
Why do you know for a fact SDS doesn’t have permission to use the new equipment. I don’t think that’s a fair assumption.

I do not work for SDS, so I do not have first hand knowledge. However, I can speculate given the relevant data we do have and applying Occam's Razor.
I would love for them to jump in to clarify the issue one way or the other, but given it involves legal wrangling, I doubt anyone is authorized to make proclamations.
