Looks horrible and it’s dumb I don’t know many of them
I had Story in my lineup, and I'm like who the F is True lolol
I thought it was a glitch

This was also done in the MLB during the "Players' Weekend" during the 2017, 2018, and 2019 seasons. Their chosen nicknames (where SDS got many of these names, by the way) were on their game-worn jerseys, up on the scoreboard, and announced by the announcers (both at the ballpark and by radio/TV announcers).

Weekend is one thing this seems permanent for these cards

You won't have to worry after August!

This is full-on cartoony, arcadey muppetry. I am often accused of being an SDS apologist, but I won’t mince words on this one. SDS — this is the dumbest thing you’ve done in years. Truly awful. I feel like I’m playing Super Mario Baseball Galaxy or whatever. And now if I want to buy a card on the market, I have to learn stupid nicknames? Good grief. I’m playing showdown right now and it’s “The Cat Man” on the mound vs. “Chicken Man” at the plate. I mean… come on.
This game is so frustrating. It’s always 2 steps forward, 3 steps backward with these guys. The gameplay is better (at least it was to start the year), but now we have a manipulated market, giant jellyfish monsters hovering over the batters eye, and little league nicknames. To quote Aaron Boone, “tighten it up!”

Well said
-
This feels like the madden “AKA” cards. I’m not a fan at all. Seems very corny to me but I’m not 14 so I might not be the targeted audience.
-
These cards might as well be CAPs, I was using Chili Dog earlier and a lot of fans wouldn't even know who Chili Davis is.
-
I just want to know if you can use the AL East Collection Mantle and the Commerce Comet in the same lineup because there are two different names.
-
At work rn. Can't wait to see this fookery with my own eyes.
Did Singy accidently call Boggs 'Chicken-ish Man?' Not home to check 🤪 -

Well said x2. I’m fine with creative license on card art but when it starts impacting game play ( Godzilla in centerfield for kajuii) it’s beyond irritating. FFS I was playing online and at the end of the inning due up listed 3 ,, not even nicknames. If I wanted arcade I’d play super mega baseball. I’m waiting for a Battle Royale game to bust out the next time I boot Halo.
Do better SDS!! -
Agree, this is beyond childish!
They should give us the options in the settings or something -
They really missed an opportunity here,
they should have made the Damon card a Captain(though there's probably licensing issues with that) would have been awesome. -
I would hope the next update fixes this screw up
-
I just looked at my last RS box score, and I had RBI's by K., P. and T. Insightful.

SDS can you please just leave the nicknames on the card and NOT have it be their actual names?
Looks childish and bootleg-ish seeing the Incog names on the lineup screens and matchups
Couldn't agree more. Glad I'm not the only one who dislikes this.
-
Agree 100%
-
Every year, I assemble a team of Montreal Expos Alumni. I was excited to see Tim Raines added this year. Now, not only do I have to play with an Andre Dawson card with the wrong jersey number (which I still hope they will fix eventually) but now I have to deal with a Tim Raines card with no last name on his jersey and the Rock name. smh
-
SDS must have hired some 13 year old steamer to come up with this [censored]. I really can’t imagine a grown man going into a meeting to pitch this idea. I’ve never thought “you know what this game needs. Giant monsters, unsearchable nickname players and unsellable players I spent at least 12 hours grinding to get”. This is the worst of the worst ideas SDS has ever had. And I mean worse than 2018’s Immortal cards.

You dont really have to learn anyones name. Go in your inventory, scroll over to the team you wanna search for, press L2/R2 to go to flashbacks and find the card you wanna buy.
