Where are the TOP PROSPECTS??!!

We're not asking SDS to do something crazy
Yes, you’re asking them to violate the law and open themselves up to multi-million dollar lawsuits.
They’re not going to.

@fubar2k7_PSN if that is your opinion that is cool, but most people would say what the game looks like is a big part of gameplay quality, especially a game that is largely about the players. I'm with you I want other parts of the gameplay to be better too. I'm just saying I think this aspect of the game is important to a lot of people and it seems like it is being neglected, so it makes sense for people to go after SDS about it. Just wondering, what parts of the gameplay do you think should be better?
-
@SaveFarris_PSN whoa now I didn't say they should illegally use people's image without their consent lmaooo I'm saying they should do their job and do better at spring training or spring breakout to scan players they haven't yet. This is simple game maintenance that every sports game does. I don't see what is crazy about this
-
Wow, who would have thought that face scans was such a hot button issue?
-
Face scans matter to some people because the CPU generated faces are a hot mess. If they looked better, they wouldn't be so off-putting and Joe Blow wouldn't complain so much.
-
MLB players have a lot less time during the regular season than they do in spring training. It's not as easy as popping on down to SDS and getting a face scan done in between the games, warmups, eating, sleeping and flying out of town. It could be apathy, it could be just no time. Who knows?
-
Face scan equipment is cumbersome and costly. Employees can't just grab some stuff and head to New York to scan George Lombard because you think he's the next big thing.
-
Finally, yes, SDS can not just use a player's face without consent. They still have to have the player submit to an actual scan to get the job done. There may be only a few players who actively refuse to have it done, but even the ones who would do it and just haven't done it, still need it done.
Now, can't we all just get along.

@StinkyMcPooter_XBL thank you for laying that out Mr. McPooter. All those things are true. I still wish they would do a better job during spring training, but that is just my opinion. There's basically no reason for me to get the game besides the new players/face scans since I'm a franchise guy and they don't really change the mode, so it sucks when they don't add the big new guys. But that is my beef with SDS and not with the people on this thread. I offer an olive branch to everyone here lol
-
I'm totally with you. I don't play DD. Only Franchise/RTTS. Looking at the horrible CPU generated faces is sometime disturbing.
TBH, there are more than a handful of players I refuse to have on my team because their face is messed up.
But, I also understand the problems with getting all the scans. Could SDS make a more concerted effort to get them done in spring training? Sure, but we don't know if it's them or players being lazy/difficult.
-
@Graeves-_PSN it's definitely not gospel, but it's hard for me to buy that MLB players have more time than minor leaguers / care more about Joe Blow lol I agree they probably don't care, but all athletes in major professional sports leagues do this. We're not asking SDS to do something crazy
If you look at the number of players The Show has scanned versus the number NBA2k or EA NHL hss scanned, you'll find The Show has far mor scanned than those two. The only reason Madden has more scanned is because MLB has 26 man rosters versus NFL having 53 or whatever it is nowadays. Which ironically is why The Show has more than NBA2k or EA NHL.
Which is why its ridiculous to compare how many players in The Show are scanned versus 2K and Madden
And then to compare NFL minor league players scanned ver MiLB players scanned is a non starter because as far as I know Madden has no minor league players to scan as the NFL's feeder league is CFB.
I wouldn't even compare NBA2k scanned minor leaguer to The Show because The Show still has more scanned major leaguers than 2k NBA and G League combined.
Comparing all the different sports games against eadh other is really rather silly and we might as well compare apples to pencils..
-
@graeves-_psn 2K doesn't even has accurate G-League rosters.

You act like we’re asking for so much! You defend SDS for whatever reason but I continue to prove all your excuses wrong. If it bothers you that we make posts asking for face scans but doesn’t bother you that a million dollar company doesn’t put any effort into getting face scans you’re part of the problem. Maybe if the players without scans didn’t look like Nintendo 64 characters we wouldn’t care so much about face scans. Maybe if they added the spring break out program face scans like they used to, we wouldn’t have to post about it. Regardless, it’s pathetic that they haven’t added most of these guys yet. You act like I’m asking for random players who hardly play or won’t debut for years. I’m asking for TOP PROSPECTS who debuted LAST YEAR and who debuted or will debut this year…. Cam schlittler, Nolan mcclean, Chase burns, Kevin McGonigle , Samuel bassallo , Sal Stewart, Noah Schulz, bubba chandler, Mac Clark, and drake Baldwin aren’t just some no name players. Baldwin was the rookie of the year !!!!
Stop settling for the absolute minimum effort from SDS… -
@polkrout_xbl OBJECTION! I haven't seen a single post of you "debunking" all the "excuses". Stop treating yourself like the supreme leader of North Korea. Your just some forum dweller who complains all the time.
Oh, and I also heard that SDS has a new game edition! It's called MLB The Show 26: Patrick Bailey edition! Specifically for YOU!

Stop settling for the absolute minimum effort from SDS…Very easy fix for your problem, their product doesn't suit your needs, withhold your money until it does

This guy just doesn't give up, if your really unhappy with the game then why did you bother buying it

I think it’s funny how so many people get on here and try to explain why there is a lack of face scans compared to previous years when they actually have no clue. It’s all just assumptions and guesses. But yall just want to tell OP he’s overreacting for reasons you, yourself, don’t even know are true.
Could it be a rights issue? Sure.
Could it also just be SDS being completely lazy and not even trying anymore like basically the rest of their game? Sure.
Both are very logical guesses. Idk why we all have to team up on OP saying it’s not SDS’s fault, when it very well could be. We just don’t know.
I don’t think SDS should get the benefit of the doubt with this game. They have slacked off with every aspect of this game compared to previous years and with their lack of communication and transparency, they don’t deserve people defending them anymore.

Well guess what! OP has made so many posts I can't even count at this point. He literally just complained that SDS doesn't have Patrick Bailey on the Guardians, and goes bananas because of that and calls the game "awful". If somehow one aspect of the game ruins the game, there is something wrong with you.
So, stop pandering for a person who's main language is Complainese.
-
Then you should stop defending a company that doesn’t deserve it for things we don’t even know the answer for. Just blindly giving them the benefit of the doubt.
Yeah, some of the complaining and exaggeration saying it ruins the game is a little much, but SDS could also just be more transparent and communicate with their consumers like they used to and maybe people wouldn’t have such an extreme reaction to what many think are little oversights.
This isn’t just about face scans or Patrick Bailey. This is a buildup of SDS becoming more and more lazy and communicating less and less.
