    @Graeves-_PSN it's definitely not gospel, but it's hard for me to buy that MLB players have more time than minor leaguers / care more about Joe Blow lol I agree they probably don't care, but all athletes in major professional sports leagues do this. We're not asking SDS to do something crazy

    If you look at the number of players The Show has scanned versus the number NBA2k or EA NHL hss scanned, you'll find The Show has far mor scanned than those two. The only reason Madden has more scanned is because MLB has 26 man rosters versus NFL having 53 or whatever it is nowadays. Which ironically is why The Show has more than NBA2k or EA NHL.

    Which is why its ridiculous to compare how many players in The Show are scanned versus 2K and Madden

    And then to compare NFL minor league players scanned ver MiLB players scanned is a non starter because as far as I know Madden has no minor league players to scan as the NFL's feeder league is CFB.

    I wouldn't even compare NBA2k scanned minor leaguer to The Show because The Show still has more scanned major leaguers than 2k NBA and G League combined.

    Comparing all the different sports games against eadh other is really rather silly and we might as well compare apples to pencils..

    You act like we’re asking for so much! You defend SDS for whatever reason but I continue to prove all your excuses wrong. If it bothers you that we make posts asking for face scans but doesn’t bother you that a million dollar company doesn’t put any effort into getting face scans you’re part of the problem. Maybe if the players without scans didn’t look like Nintendo 64 characters we wouldn’t care so much about face scans. Maybe if they added the spring break out program face scans like they used to, we wouldn’t have to post about it. Regardless, it’s pathetic that they haven’t added most of these guys yet. You act like I’m asking for random players who hardly play or won’t debut for years. I’m asking for TOP PROSPECTS who debuted LAST YEAR and who debuted or will debut this year…. Cam schlittler, Nolan mcclean, Chase burns, Kevin McGonigle , Samuel bassallo , Sal Stewart, Noah Schulz, bubba chandler, Mac Clark, and drake Baldwin aren’t just some no name players. Baldwin was the rookie of the year !!!!
    Stop settling for the absolute minimum effort from SDS…

    @polkrout_xbl OBJECTION! I haven't seen a single post of you "debunking" all the "excuses". Stop treating yourself like the supreme leader of North Korea. Your just some forum dweller who complains all the time.

    Oh, and I also heard that SDS has a new game edition! It's called MLB The Show 26: Patrick Bailey edition! Specifically for YOU!

    Very easy fix for your problem, their product doesn't suit your needs, withhold your money until it does

    I think it’s funny how so many people get on here and try to explain why there is a lack of face scans compared to previous years when they actually have no clue. It’s all just assumptions and guesses. But yall just want to tell OP he’s overreacting for reasons you, yourself, don’t even know are true.

    Could it be a rights issue? Sure.

    Could it also just be SDS being completely lazy and not even trying anymore like basically the rest of their game? Sure.

    Both are very logical guesses. Idk why we all have to team up on OP saying it’s not SDS’s fault, when it very well could be. We just don’t know.

    I don’t think SDS should get the benefit of the doubt with this game. They have slacked off with every aspect of this game compared to previous years and with their lack of communication and transparency, they don’t deserve people defending them anymore.

    Well guess what! OP has made so many posts I can't even count at this point. He literally just complained that SDS doesn't have Patrick Bailey on the Guardians, and goes bananas because of that and calls the game "awful". If somehow one aspect of the game ruins the game, there is something wrong with you.

    So, stop pandering for a person who's main language is Complainese.

    @Player99_MLBTS

    Then you should stop defending a company that doesn’t deserve it for things we don’t even know the answer for. Just blindly giving them the benefit of the doubt.

    Yeah, some of the complaining and exaggeration saying it ruins the game is a little much, but SDS could also just be more transparent and communicate with their consumers like they used to and maybe people wouldn’t have such an extreme reaction to what many think are little oversights.

    This isn’t just about face scans or Patrick Bailey. This is a buildup of SDS becoming more and more lazy and communicating less and less.

    You’ve been told a million times why.

    The reason hasn’t changed.

    If he's been told and keeps coming back with the same question then clearly he's a troll.

    @genopolanco_psn You know why SDS is ignoring this? Because OP is just spamming posts on this, and they don't want to deal with a troll.

    Yet, you still play the game.

    @Player99_MLBTS false, I haven’t played the game yet. No point ! It’s 2026 and they can’t figure out a way to get the new updates transferred to the previous files saves. Think what you want. You think I’m a troll I think it’s weird you’re bothered more by my posts than the lack of face scans of TOP prospects who debuted LAST YEAR!!!! I think SDS are trolls for still missing top prospects that debuted this year let alone last year….. seriously tho, if my posts bother you more than so many scans missing…. You’re the troll. Stop simpin and accepting devs neglecting everything but DD

    @Doppelganger39_PSN I’ve never got an answer! Why can’t they get face scans of top prospects like they used to in the spring break out program. Look at the show 22

    @SaveFarris_PSN so 4 years ago was the “Wild West” again stop making excuses for SDS when you have no idea what you’re talking about. You all have a different excuse of why they can’t get scans but I continue to prove you wrong !!! I’ll stop when someone from SDS tells me why they can’t get face scans…. Go look at the show 22! 4 years ago they were all in the game before they even debuted!

    It's shocking how majy prospects don't have face scans. I refuse to believe all thos players don't want to be scanned. They probably got a lot them scanned at spring training and haven't bothered putting them into the game yet which is very frustrating.

    @polkrout_xbl Here's my question: Why are you complaining about face scans when you aren't even playing the game? You're just like people online creating problems about games they aren't even playing or going to play.

    If complaining is your power, what are you without it? - Socrates, probably.

    You ever think he’s not playing the game because he’s waiting to start his franchise for more scans to be added?

    @StinkyMcPooter_XBL said:

    I have to disagree with y'all.

    It has little to nothing to do with 'player consent'. Although it's absolutely true that players must give consent to use their likeness, it's not the reason for the lack of face scans.

    #1 SDS is not constantly sending out employees and equipment to ball parks to get the scans of all the missing players. I'm certain it's too costly and time consuming to do so. Therefore, scans are done in set locations. Which leads to ...

    #2 Player apathy. They just don't care enough to make a special trip to go to SDS and get the scan done. If they were there, at the park or somewhere convenient to do so, I'm sure they would. But they aren't going to go out of their way for a vidya game.

    Would you if you were a ballplayer? If you owned a video game company and knew the exuberant cost and logistical difficulty to set up a team at every MLB stadium for scans and knowing that it just isn't financially feasible to do so, would you do it just to appease a few players who are that particular about faces? Of course not, there far greater issues in this game than lacking face scans. Cheating, marketplace bots frame rate drop, content issues, gameplay issues, server issues, app issues......

    And by the way I don't really understand the anger about face scans anyways... I'm paying close attention to the pitchers release point and ball coming out of his hand not the players' face. Especially the batter's....

    I'm not angry, I'm just trying to explain to those that are, the reasons not everyone is getting face scanned.

    However, I can empathize with those that are upset. The CPU generated faces are complete junk.

    Back in the day, when playing any video game that allowed you to use a player creator, myself and friends used to use the 'maximum face' method. You would set every single slider to full. You would end up with the most disturbing looking creations possible. This is what a lot of the generated faces look like. This is why some people are so upset. 😆
