players rights?

Whats the deal with this? are retired players just not wanting their name or character in video games? Legit question because I cant figure out why we dont have some awesome cards. Being a Yankees fan late 90s early 00s so many great players and we got minimal cards. thoughts?

All about the $ my friend. SDS is only going to spend so much. If Bernie Williams wants 20k to be in the game and SDS is offering 10 and neither budges it isn’t going to happen (no idea what the numbers are like just using an example). Also, certain teams (most notably the Yankees, Sox, Dodgers, Etc.) have so many iconic players that SDS is just not going to prioritize their “2nd tier” guys. If SDS doesn’t get Roberto Clemente or Kirby Puckett those teams don’t have a dozen guys to replace them. If Posada opts out one year, SDS can target Yogi or vice versa.
Tl:dr - it’s about $ and how many stars teams have had historically -
I would actually be very curious what the negotiations on this stuff would be like.
I feel like some of these players wouldn’t even ask for money. Especially with how easily accessible these guys can be with Twitter/instagram.
Obviously there will be quite a few who want to milk it for what it’s worth (their right to do so) but some I feel like it would literally just be asking the player. I have no clue though!

Everybody except Shoeless Joe, Pete Rose, and Steve Howe: $$$.
Joe, Pete, Steve: Their bans from MLB most likely preclude them from appearing in MLB-sanctioned products. (It's an open question as to whether this is Roberto Alomar's last year because of this rule.)

I’d and say it’s pretty safe to say this is Alomar’s last year in the game. I’m surprised they didn’t remove his card completely. I don’t even think they will add a better version of him at any point this year.

The only players that would agree to do it for free are the ones you wouldn't want anyway. (Who's up for a 2007 Veteran Matt Kata?)

I mean you’re right. The big names are going to want $$$ but I’m sure there’s more than you think that would take very little incentive.

They didnt remove Alomar completely cause he hasnt been banned yet,id expect it once he is.
As for players its not just about $ and negotiations, there is only so much room in each game, dont know how many players from the alumni assoc or HoF that opted in to the group represent or how many each one makes avail each year... -

Yeah. I agree with their decision to leave the card and (almost certainly) dump him after the year. Same deal with Ozuna getting the massive downgrade relative to his struggles. At the end of the day the game is supposed to be fun and so are legends. Nothing fun about morally gross people on teams and the trolls that exult in using them when there are so many fun players not in the game yet. I don’t feel like playing against the Felipe Vazquez late night calls or the Ty Cobb KKKs from 14 year olds trying to be edgy.

Yea i would love to see a Koufax and Drysdale card in the show...

I'm patiently waiting for a dope Chase Utley card
The jimmy one they came out with today is a [censored] joke -
I’m sure they could get Bobby Bonilla and just space out the payments over like 20 years, worked for the Mets lol.
