When it comes to this topic I think there’s a lot of confusion. Personally, all I ask for is that we be given all the face scanned players they have by the first update. If players haven’t been scanned or don’t want to, that’s fine and there’s nothing SDS can do about it. But it is a little strange to be told these scans are done at spring training and then to see new players being added as late as August. If a player actually went in and got scanned that late and that’s why he wasn’t added until then, fine. Absolutely no issue. But if they have the scans since Spring Training and simply seem to hold onto them to release throughout the season as “new content”, then that’s a problem. As was said above, people have to start their franchises over every time if they want these new players and that really sucks.

To summarize, all I ask for is all the scans they have at the first update. We can download models from the vault of players who don’t have or don’t want them. It’s that simple for me.

Sorry. Wrong.

@A_b_road_MLBTS Agreed. Prospects are traded all the time and the idea that a team would listen to absolutely zero offers on 20 players is crazy. Maybe if they’ve just signed a longterm deal but outside of that I think most teams would listen for a haul (like the Juan Soto trade from Washington).

@MAINELYBOSTON_PSN Yes, all those guys already had scans. Like I said, if they already have a scan they will be updated even after you start a franchise. Players who do not have a scan will stay a generic player model once you start. It’s always been this way.

@LookAt_MeNowww_PSN Yes, in my understanding the only thing that won’t update are generic players without scans.

@LookAt_MeNowww_PSN Players who already have face scans will update with any changes added to them automatically. But players who haven’t been scanned in yet won’t be automatically added once they are scanned in.

For example, right now Mariners prospect Colt Emerson does not have a face scan/player model. If you start a franchise now, he will stay this way even if they add a face scan/player model later. It’s unfortunate but that’s the way it is right now.

The only thing I’m curious about when it comes to scans/player models is if the face scans are done during Spring Training then why don’t we get all of those scans within the first month of the season? Why are the new ones slowly leaked out throughout the year? I only ask because as a franchise player it really sucks to constantly have to restart a franchise in order to get the new realistic scans.

@LookAt_MeNowww_PSN Not having to restart a franchise to get the new player models would be a game changer for me.

@Kels1919_PSN

I think it is. But I did see a couple of those ‘glitch face’ guys. If those don’t bother you, I’d start.

I’m hoping to start with the opening day roster update. Hopefully they’ll add some new scans/models for prospects and other starters without them, but if not I think I’ll just add guys from the vault and start.

@KennyK73_PSN Not a fan of untouchable players either. Or, at least, not as many as there are. I do think it should be difficult to trade for stars but not impossible. 20 untouchable players per team is pretty crazy. There’s no way any team IRL would refuse to take offers for 20 players. Maybe 2-3 max??

@VF1S_Rick_Hunter_PSN Well at least it changes. That gives me more hope.

@jsmooov_33_PSN

@carryTHEflag117_PSN I fully understand that not everyone agrees to get scanned. I just don’t understand why all the scans they DO have aren’t released right after the season starts. Or even the first month. It’s just rough for franchise players to constantly have to restart their franchises just to get the latest scans which are slowly leaked out throughout the year. It doesn’t matter to everyone but for those who want the most realistic looking game, it does matter.

@douevenbench_MLBTS YES! Thank you!

@PolKrout_XBL I agree! This would be massive!

I’ve heard we have the option to turn it off this year. Does anyone know if that’s accurate?

@ewolfy13_PSN

@ewolfy13_PSN It doesn’t? Well that’s disappointing. How can any team ever rebuild if they can’t trade for prospects?
