Great discussion all around. There are a few people out there I wish we would see. Gracie being my selfish favorite for that. I did see him in SMB4 which is really what fueled this discussion. I'm not suggesting a 99 insanity but something to acknowledge his contribution to the game. He may not be the most PC individual or there but he was a gritty ball player for sure!

As a Die-hard Cubs fan I don't know why we have 3 Sosa cards and have yet to see a Mark Grace or Ron Santo?? Only 1 Sandberg? At the same time Sosa was hitting bombs, while cheating the game, Mark Grace was getting more hits and doubles than anyone in the MLB for a decade! 3x All-star and multiple Gold Gloves, twice as many walks than k's throughout his 13 year career, not too mention the only Cub to hit for the cycle in the last 30 years and he can't even get a Captain card WHEN HE WAS THE CUBS CAPTAIN!!! Sammy, with his corked bats and juiced muscles still had to hit the balls which took tremendous skill, I get it, but he gets 3 cards while guys like Gracie and Santo get nothing? Come on y'all. Share the wealth with some of the teammates of these guys who were getting overlooked. Surely it can't be licensing because that other joke of a baseball game gave Gracie a shot. Come on SDS, show some love here to one of the 90's Cubs greats and most recent inductee into their Hall of Fame as well

Last year you could use your RTTS player in mini seasons but I can't seem to do it this year. I can use them on the other DD CPU related activities and it lets me add them on my main squad but not in mini seasons. Anyone else notice this?

I know my favorite player of all time, Mark Grace, isn't a gap of famer. However, he hit for a cycle, had multiple Gold gloves, multiple appearances as an all star and hit for 50 doubles one season. Also, he has the most hits and doubles in the 90's. This year he will be inducted into the Cubs HOF with Shawn Dunston so it would be awesome to see him as a classic player for the Cubs. Additionally he had the first hit in the bottom of the ninth in game 7 of the WS when the diamondbacks best the Yankees. Seems worthy to me.

So for the past several years my last name Grindstaff, pronounced like it's spelled, grind-staff, has been in The Show. I believe it happened years ago when Russell was active in the forums and I think he asked for it in an Operation Sports thread from fans with unique names. With the new announcers mine was removed and so has many others. Maybe if we let this thread grow, the devs will see it and put us back in. So spell out the names with a phonetic spelling so they know how to pronounce them. I've been a loyal fan who purchases the collectors edition every year and also end up going in on more stubs so 200 a year at least. It would be great to see our names back in the game. since for a lot of us, The Show was our only place to pick our names in our game. Regardless I will still spend my money but it would be nice.

My name has been an option in create a player mode since Russell asked people in a forum to put their names in it. It's fine this year after 10 years sure to the new commentary. Sucks cause it was awesome to have my name in a game for once
