This game needs Bo Jackson... every sports video game needs Bo Jackson

Probably just an All Star card but still. His likeness has been used in many EA titles so he's not adverse to being in video games. I hope SDS can afford his licensing next year.
-
Good point on the EA titles. Bo would be awesome.
-
This is true. Even if his card wasn’t the best, just using him for advertising would generate sales.
Besides, SDS boosts plenty of other player’s attributes that don’t deserve it, so they might as well do the same for Bo.

He is way overused in Madden so Ill be ok with out him.

Yeah I get that. I barely used him last Madden because of that. But regardless I'm ready to see him back in a baseball uniform.

Nascar Heat 4 would be much better with Bo Jackson in it.

I would argue he was more successful at mlb than NFL.
2,782 career yards rushing

Umm no...
In football, he averaged 5.4 yards per carry, and was the most explosive running back anyone has ever seen. He had a very short career because of injury, but when he was on the field, he was one of the best.
In baseball, he played many more seasons, and was a .787 OPS (112 OPS+) hitter... Just above average..
He got on base barely over .300, and had a 32% strikeout rate....
Though he had loud tools, he had huge weaknesses..Other than getting hurt, he had little weakness on the gridiron

He played twice the amount of seasons in baseball. The guy had a 5.5 yds/att for his career. He was without a doubt, a better football player.

Muuuuch better football player!

That said, had he never played football and focused on baseball, I believe he could have had a Sammy Sosa type career without the roids

Ya I just said he had a more successful career in the mlb. Alot of RB's can roll off 2,782 yards in two seasons. 5.5 YPC is considered elite but he never had more than 950 yards in a season. He finished 10th in the AL mvp had 100 rbis and 30 home runs. That is a alot better than rushing for 950 yards.

He was splitting time with a HOFer in Marcus Allen. He had 173 attempts out of the teams 454. If he got the amount of attempts that people like AD, LT2, or Emmitt got, he wouldve had 2,000 easy

Could have should have would have... I your best season as a pro is 950 yards and 4td those are just ok. He was a freak athlete and he was more dominant when he was on the football field but he never had the type of success that he should have due to injury. He was a very productive baseball player. Im not knocking him, its him and Deion are the only dudes who could pull it off still to this day.

Please understand that your including post injury seasons into your calculations. Bo wasn’t the same existential player after he blew out his hip. He was just starting to realize his greatness when got hurt. The man was a 5 tool player. This community reveres Gallo, but Bo was beyond Gallo. Not only did he hit 500ft home runs, when they were unheard of, he threw dimes from the wall to home plate, and ran like the wind. Baseball didn’t have the Bo vs Boz freight train moment, but it did have moon shot all star game home run moment.

I guess it depends on how you look at it.
Is more success predicated on playing longer at a slightly above average rate?
Or playing less at an elite rate?The point I was making is he was more talented at football, which there really is no debate
