A lot of people are frustrated because there is no transparency about how scans are sent released. Some feel SDS is slowly releasing scans and some feel it’s happening as the season progresses. Transparency might help limit these posts. Is it that difficult for SDS to come out with a statement surrounding this? Also, for people truly upset with lack of transparency or the lack of scans, they should submit a ticket.

Another post about this? At this point, you're just the meme of the old man yelling at a cloud.

Most of them don’t have accurate stances and pitching windups either.
You sonnuva ... you did it again!

I support @PolKrout calling out SDS on this every day until Cam Smith is in the game.

Seems somebody don't understand.

You should be calling out Cam Smith. SDS’s hands are literally tied.

@SaveFarris_PSN Ok. I’ve seen these posts and arguments forever now. One guy posts something complaining about lack of face scans, other guys respond with “you can’t force guys to get scanned”.
After what was just announced for player likeness updates, can we all just be honest and admit the obvious? SDS does not release all the scans they have upon release. This has been my one major complaint on this issue. On their 11th update (June 2nd) they will be adding Colt Keith, Drake Baldwin, Kevin McGonigle, Cam Smith and others. No one honestly believes all of those guys JUST flew over and got scanned this last week.
If you don’t care about player likenesses and are more passionate about other areas of the game, cool. Totally valid. But we need to stop with the whole “that player doesn’t have a scan because he didn’t want one” talk. Ultimately we don’t know why EVERY person doesn’t have an updated likeness. But this latest update proves, to me at least, they are sitting on scans and choose to leak them out as the year goes on. Which totally screws over franchise players because we need to start all over if we want those updated likenesses.
All this arguing and fighting over this doesn’t need to keep happening. We can admit both things at once:
-
We don’t know who agreed to get scanned and who didn’t.
-
SDS has more scanned likenesses at the start of the season and choose to dribble them out throughout the season rather than release them at the start.
SDS defenders and SDS critics can we at least agree on that?

@RedstickRebel_PSN You see the latest update?

@bleachfro_mlbts I'm not a graphic artist by trade so I can't speak with specificity, but I imagine there is a little more to the process than "Scan. Save. Publish." and there is some correction time in the process.
I just reject the notion that SDS has these face scans in the bag ready to publish and are piecemealing them for whatever reason. What does that serve them? They're expecting a phalanx of Drake Baldwin fans going out and buying the game now that his face scan is available? And if that were the case, what benefit do they have for waiting when they could have published it earlier and gotten all those sales months ago?
-
@SaveFarris_PSN I don’t think the reason has anything to do with sales. I personally think these scans are leaked out as content throughout the season to keep up interest. It’s something new. Again, if you don’t care about scans and the game looking as lifelike as possible, that’s totally fine. Admitting SDS has had these scans since training camp shouldn’t be something to fight over. It’s simply not important to you. Again, that’s fine. But what’s the argument here? Are you honestly suggesting that Drake Baldwin or Colt Keith’s scans were harder to add to the game than some random Athletics reliever back in May? Or that more people wanted to see that reliever than Max Clark or Justin Crawford (being added tomorrow too)?
For franchise players this is frustrating. If you don’t care, fine. But it’s weird to jump into a thread you don’t care about to defend SDS when it seems clear they’re holding scans. I wouldn’t go into a DD thread and tell them they’re dumb for wanting what they want. I’m not bashing you, bro. I get being annoyed by OP’s posts and lists. I just disagree with you that SDS couldn’t add all these guys on the first update. It’s a new game and it should feel new. And starting franchises over every single time they add people really sucks. I hope that makes sense.

That makes zero business sense. I get that it's frustrating. I want everything for free right now too.
-
@SaveFarris_PSN How does keeping people interested with new content make “zero business sense”? If they didn’t think people cared about updated likenesses, why would they announce them on the updates or do them at all?
The fact is, even if you’re not one of them, people out there like the idea of their game looking as real as possible. It makes it more immersive and fun.
Not sure what the comment about wanting something for free was about but, again, for franchise players it IS frustrating to have to constantly restart. Even if you don’t care or disagree, can you at least understand that part of the frustration?
