I'm old enough to remember when they put the best player's in the game on the cover.

At least Jazz gives all you something to be mad about for the next 2 months lol
I am not upset at all. It just shows SDS doing their usual low effort work again. I can now guarantee there will be a ton of bugs on opening, with lots of server crashes upon launch and all the old glitches from previous editions intact.
Just a pricey roster update with a fresh coat of paint slapped on it.
Working as intended.

It’s almost like they are going for a younger audience instead of worrying about what a bunch of miserable pricks(myself included on that) on the forums who represent a small percentage of the player base and are already set on getting the game or not think.
Also implying that the cover athlete has any correlation to how the game quality will be is as dumb as saying directional hitting is competitive

That has nothing to do with the cover athlete at all. Jazz is the first CA since Mauer to have any genuine passion for this game(being that he actually regularly plays it). The new legends are going to sell the game for me(nothing to do with how the game plays just burnout). I just think people make the cover athlete out to be way kore of a deal than it is.

That's a pretty bold statement.
That means you don't believe that players like
Adrian Gonzalez

Miguel Cabrera
Josh Donaldson
Ken Griffey Jr
Aaron Judge
Bryce Harper
Shohei OhtaniAmong others had any real compassion for the game?

Have all of those guys said they play the show like that? I don’t see a few in that list playing video games much.
-
I don’t mind it. As long as the game is fun. Ohtani being the cover athlete didn’t get me “excited”. Tatis got me excited. Jazz seems to be an energetic and passionate guy, hopefully that energy and passion relates to the game itself.
-
Plot twist: they have a big new legend for the special edition and that’s why a weaker cover like Jazz was selected for the standard. They would sell more of the expensive version of its a nostalgic/big name legend on it.

All because of who they selected? I’m not a fan of this cover but…. Who could they have selected that would somehow indicate they were going the extra mile to make this game better? I’m not really sure how picking one player over another equates to the amount of effort put in. Would Soto or Vlad have required more effort, showcasing how the game was gonna be amazing?
I get it, for those who have played this game for years, I’m sure it’s frustrating to see the same stuff year after year. I’ve played DD in 21 and 22. There were some big differences, but overall I had a similar experience. I enjoyed the game. I hope there are new features this year and gameplay is a little better but otherwise, I’m sure I’ll enjoy the game again.

Yes we do. SDS tweets out every time they give someone "the real" player cards. most of them aren't players most have heard of

I don't disagree with you about Chisholm loving the game. He crushed me pretty badly the one time I played him, but I instantly recognized the footage they used on the reveal from the summer footage they used when he came to the studio.
Either
EA SportsSDS was very proactive in getting their cover athlete in advance to avoid the predictable "athlete name" was in San Diego today. Is he the cover athlete?"Or, they were super lazy and couldn't get the guy they wanted so the used the existing footage for the game. I am actually leaning towards the first scenario, and I have made my dislike of SDS pretty well known.
But I still expect 23 to be a fresh coat of paint on last years game.

I have played Chisholm once, and Spencer Strider of the Braves is also a confirmed player.

Tatis got me excited.
I actually have the alternate Jackie Robinson, and am happier with him than Tatis, and that was before all the shenanigans he had afterwards.
If he can get his head out of his ahem, you know where, he could really be a force for the Padres when he finally returns, but I can't remember if he will even be eligible to this year.

Possibly, but the reveal "show" was so cringey that I think it was far more embarrassing than choosing Chisholm. Bringing in an NBA player to hype a baseball game? Really? They could have ponied up the money to get at least one MLB player that is an actual player of the show. Heck they could have even used it to set a false flag for the cover athlete.
The feed was running non stop with "nobody cares what this guy has to say" and "just show the stinking cover"
Imagine the scene Blake Snell or Julio Rodriguez is doing the interview instead, and the SDS guy says "so, how do you feel about being on the cover of the game?" and have the athlete goes "great, but it's actually (holds up large posterboard of actual cover).
Far more entertaining than what we got instead.
