KBO The Lockout 22 should be a lot of fun.

I wouldn’t think that would stop an announcement. They certainly know the cover guy. Wonder who that’ll be?
My guess — Wander Franco.

It's for sure going to be either Shohei or Vlad Jr. Almost no chance it's anyone else imo.
SDS
I wouldn’t guess Shohei because they showcased him so much this year. But he is Southern California.

He's pretty much the biggest star in the game though. I'd be surprised if it's not him. They usually go with someone who had a big, MVP caliber season, or is super popular. He fits both categories. Same with Vlad Jr.
SDS
From a business standpoint Shohei would be do big numbers internationally. I mean tbh he really deserves it. The guy is a phenom.
SDS
Wander isn't a massive star like Ohtani yet, so I doubt it'll be him. My money is on Ohtani, but it doesn't matter because I'm not buying '22.

This is likely the last year I purchase this one if they dont make some big changes
SDS
My money is on Shohei being the cover athlete next year. He's definitely earned it with his big year.

Agreed. I'm tired of pre-determined outcomes. Fielders with low fielding and throwing power/accuracy attributes shouldn't be throwing out 99 speed runners from deep SS at first base when he's ranging to his right and almost behind 3rd base when he picks up the ball.
There's literally too many issues with this game to mention. I'm just so over it. When I play the game at 10 pm at night, on Rookie just to blow off some steam, I shouldn't have the feelings of wanting to break my controller because of how bad the game truly is. There is obviously some good, but so much bad.

Speaking of, I'm tired of instances where I could get a 9-3 putout against CPU, but the game actively prevents me from doing so by having my first baseman being far from the bag. Literally puts him away from the bag so I can't get the out. It's the game's fault, therefore, if a home run is a 2-run homer because it prevented me from getting the baserunner out at first.
Hate that. I shouldn't be prevented from making plays, period.
SDS
The game shouldn't be delayed. If NBA 2K wasn't delayed years ago, neither should the show. Unless MLBPA says so because of licensing.

I could see a Acuna Soto or Lindor because I am willing to bet no one assumed Javi was gonna be cover

Acuna was injured most of the year and Lindor had a bad year. Baez was extremely popular and coming off of a good season. Soto could be a possibility, but at this point I'd be willing to put down money it'll be Ohtani. He's the face of baseball right now.

True indeed. OK, so much for my Wander guess.

If it’s Ohtani it would be a sin to not name 22’s game MLB The Sho 22
Nice!!
