I have worked with current and former players directly as far as licensing their images and paying royalties. It’s not difficult to acquire a player’s rights per se, the contracts we used were simple and didn’t even fill 2 pages. But it can be difficult to get a response: the effort in following up and communicating with player’s representation can be simple or an absolute pain. In the case of MLB The Show where they have secured a huge player pool including the rights of current MLB players as well as those who participate in the “blanket HOF” licensing, they wouldn’t spend too much of their time on overtures to secure any one particular player, say McGwire or Alfonso Soriano etc.

Not all HOF players participate in the licensing, and have to be contracted directly. This is the case for Mantle, Clemente, Aaron, and many others. It’s an interesting business to say the least.

Williams is a cheat code, stuff is so good

Thanks, I have Williams, he’s sick! I’ll probably switch Hendriks for Anderson

The prestige version is much better with the boost in velo. I used him in events to prestige him, same story with Nick Anderson.

I’m currently running with:
DeGrom prestige
Hershiser prestige
Bauer prestige
Palmer prestige
Seaver/Paxton prestige/Nolan Ryan

I’m considering Yu Darvish and prestiging him, any decent reviews?

Thanks for the options, I’ve used Gibson with decent success. He’s probably the first name I left off the list. I usually hit Scherzer and Lamet pretty well, I’ve also used Lamet with mixed results. I’m very intrigued by Kershaw TBH, I can imagine that his prestiged card would be really tough!

I like the Cliff Lee suggestion, very different opinion than I’ve heard. I also bought Kerhaw and may test him out soon. I’d love to get Sale, but don’t have the stubs atm. Lester is an interesting one, Hamels was pretty popular earlier in the year...I may buy a few and stream them.

@samguenther1987 said in Need a new SP:

Walker Buehler postseason
Greg Maddux Signature
Kershaw Awards
Mike Scott Awards has also been great for me

And if you can get over their windups I highly recommend

Lefty Grove Signature
Walter Johnson Signature

Mike Scott was a stalwart in my rotation all summer! I’ve used Maddux with mixed results, Kershaw was great in his first start, I just picked up Johnson and may try Grove! Thanks!
