Cover reveal on Monday...
-
This game really is in a bad place…”stick skills” absolutely do not matter. Contact swing and animations are horrid. Created stadiums and players should be gone. I also think that every ranked game should be mandatory zone hitting.

I don‘t get the outrage of you people … I mean, maybe Julio is a good choice, a very good choice … choosing the best player in the last decades (Mike Trout) would be awesome … Lots of players would be deserving.
But … honestly … you could think that Jazz is like a Joe Random negative WAR-player, if you just follow the discussions everywhere. Sure, he is not comparable to those mentioned above. But he had 139 OPS+ and he is marketable. So: Why not … and: It is just a cover of a hopefully awesome game

I mostly agree with you. I don’t think Jazz is the number one best choice for the cover but who really cares what player is on the cover? I almost think it would be cooler to highlight up and coming players rather than established stars but they are less marketable so doubtful.
On that note, as long as it’s not deGrom in a Rangers jersey I will be happy.

What if it's Xander Bogaerts. He's from Aruba, now with the Padres.

Who ya got?
Despite a down year, I'm guessing SD bias with Soto.
Lets go !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Am I the only one who doesn't care one but who'll be on the cover? I'd prefer them to save the resources and hire some quality devs instead to code an enjoyable game. That being said, if I'd have to bet money I'd say it's Julio.
Are the Devs the same as they were in 16 & 17? Those who know, know these were the last games that played the best. And yes the cover doesn't matter.
I agree sir! ‘17 was my best year!

Agreed!

Most of us here don't really care. We probably all have our preferences but in the end it won't sway us one way or the other. It's hard for us to understand that it might actually make a difference to more casual consumers but I am sure that it probably does sell a few more copies.

Jared Fogle could be the cover guy, and Jeffrey Dahmer the expensive version and I would still buy the game
-
So based on the clues it looks like it very well may be Jazz.
Good for him, although in a sport full of Superstars (both pitchers and position players) who have been playing at a high level for a decade or more I am disappointed that they give the cover to a guy with 1.25 seasons under his belt.
But in the end it is about marketing for SDS and Sony.

I wonder if they will spice it up by teasing or revealing a legend, didn't need to last year with Ohtani, there was plenty to talk about then, Jazz less so. Gotta get us excited right?

The 1st Gameplay trailer from last year that revealed Ryan Howard and Randy Johnson (allegedly) debuted on Feb. 9th.
If we don't get an actual Legend reveal today, I'd at least hope we get a date for the trailer that would do so.

Exactly, that’s what I’m looking forward to. Today just marks the beginning of the marketing cycle. Jazz is fine, just underwhelming. He has a career 4.9 WAR. But like many have said, it’s a picture and means we’ll get a few cool cards. I loved his cards last year so a 99 Jazz would be fun
-
They have had Puig and recently Baez on the cover. Neither took off like they thought. So Jazz probably better than them for sure.

No Twitch drops
