@Anduril-Returns said in legends/old players and 7 different versions of the same guy:
Completely agree. Tired of the same players, same images. Spend a few bucks and get some more old stars/legends in the game now ... Dave Stieb, Jimmy Key, Lou Whitaker, Jack Morris, Jesse Barfield, George Bell, Willie Wilson, Dwight Evans, Cecil Cooper, Mark Langston, Lance Parrish, Steve Rogers, Andy van Slyke ... so many good players from the 80s alone.
Wllie McGee! Bug-eyed mofo -- killed my Cubs back in the day.

Mel Ott, Glenallen Hill

@BigBadBosc44 I addressed this in my list of things wrong with the game that I posted. Specifically called then out on this exact thing. I think they just expect us to forget the cards we used to play with for a whole year when we didn't have seasons haha.

Dizzy Dean, Carlos Beltran

The Show has lost a few big ones over the last couple years, but for the most part they do a good job when it comes to the superstar names.
Where they fall short in my opinion is the lack of depth when it comes to more mid-tier players from different eras.
The Seasons/Sets model over the last two games has really exposed the need for way more Legends. Recycling the same names several times throughout the game cycle gets old very fast. By the time you get that seventh Johnny Bench it kinda of loses its luster.

shoeless joe jackson , Nomar Garciaparra

The short answer...profit margins. 2024 version of The Show is a money grab or at least a weak attempt at one.

Hal McRae Dan Quisenberry
-
Billy Buckner , Lenny Dykstra

delino deshields ,marquis grissom

Player likeness licenses cost money. Even it is only $5k-$25k a player, it adds up. Plus, SDS isn't going to address if the player/family you are interested in doesn't want to be in the game or sold the rights to someone else.
-
@BigBadBosc44
I believe Lenny D has a troubled past so he will not be in the game.
-
yes dykstra is in prison lol and Albert Belle peed on a cop but the 2k players beat their wives and girlfriends and they are still in the game, the point is whatever the dollar amount may be they should invest it people will pay to use these players. there is 150 years of baseball history to go thru. They should have some constantly contact these people/estates and negotiating. Instead we get 7 versions of Paul Konerko
