Been screaming about the player models for years now smh makes the game look so outdated & SDS refuses to address. New/More diverse player models would make such a big difference aesthetically. SDS used to be so detail oriented, it’s sad what they’ve turned into.

@TheBigPapa55_PSN yes, I sound 5 because I told you to stop pandering for a million dollar company. Also calling someone immature with the username “thebigpapa” is beyond ironic smh. And I know they don’t care, that’s my point imbecile. Fans care and so should they. They obviously have lost their heart and attention to detail when making these games and it’s been apparent for years. So us who want a better product will continue to voice our opinion, you can keep pandering in the corner though and defending an inferior product. Have fun.

Seriously, it’s 2026 and we still don’t have hand guards, elbow guards over the jersey, ski masks, etc. When is the last time SDS even touched equipment and added something new?? It’s been literally years which is so lazy and not right. Baseball fans are nerds and 100% care about stuff like this, so why doesn’t SDS? Say what you want about EA, but they add detailed things like this around equipment every year and even throughout the year AFTER madden launches. C’mon SDS, you guys are so much better than this and fans like myself want immersion as much as possible. We’re on year 6 of a Playstation FIVE, there’s no excuse. Please give us at least 1 of the above equipment adds in some of these patches coming up. It would make a big difference for fans like myself.

@TheBigPapa55_PSN we found SDS’s burner lol shutup bro and give me a break. It’s 2026 and the non scan models are horrific. Fans have a right to want the most realistic game for $100. If they can’t get real scans for a player, at least improve the detail on the non scan model. What they have right now is lazy and looks terrible. It’s ppl like you who give SDS the comfortability to put out a lazy product every year.

Huge Sox fan and it’s insane how lazy SDS has gotten smh every organization’s top 10 prospects should be in the game. How are guys like Justin Gonzalez and Juan Velara missing ??? That’s inexcusable. They hired RidinRosters couple years ago and I thought that would lead to more detail on having prospects in the game but it’s made absolutely 0 difference SMH ehat happened to SDS man, genuinely makes me sad

@bleachfro_MLBTS couldn’t agree more

@DTC1313_PSN thanks for posting these! Hoping my Red Sox get a big update soon, still a ton of guys without scans (Duran, Crochet, Narvaez, Durbin, & Mayer).

@RiceRiceBaby15_PSN with all due respect, it’s a $100 game. The least they can do is have accurate models for all the players. So no, I don’t agree I should be “grateful” for the bare minimum.

@StinkyMcPooter_XBL

@StinkyMcPooter_XBL I mean the ones worn specifically at the plate by players like Ohtani, Romany Anthony, Francisco Lindor, and so many more. And if they have the one worn on the base paths, I feel they could easily add the one worn at the plate. Would be an awesome immersion add if they could put it in the game.

I know ppl have harped on SDS about graphics, but how about meeting us halfway with updated equipment? I can’t remember the last time I saw new gear in a Show game and there’s still so many key equipment that the pros wear that aren’t in the game (HAND GUARDS️). Like how is something like Hand Guards that is used by so many pros not in the game yet? Please SDS, love the game and buy it every year, can we get some new gear?

I know it’s hard to get every player’s stance right, but my only question is why does it take so long for them to be updated? I wish SDS included updated stances throughout the year in their roster updates. Was hoping to create this thread for ppl to post the players who’s stances they’d like to see updated. Here’s mine:

Roman Anthony

I know SDS gets these at Spring Training, but why are there so many prominent players missing Body/Face Scans every year at launch. I wouldn’t care so much if the difference between scanned and non-scanned wasn’t so huge, but it is. The non-scanned models are so much worse smh I’m a massive Red Sox fan and these current ones are pretty egregious (Mayer’s body makes him look 10 years old, Narvaez looks like he weighs 180 lbs, & Durbin looks like he’s 6’5). Even prominent players like Duran and Crochet don’t have proper scans (Duran Is a Mexican American with curly hair in real life yet in the game has the same hair as the lead singer of a rock band). As a Sox fan, it’s frustrating & disappointing. I buy the game every year and it really sucks my favorite team is done so inaccurately. Was hoping to create this thread to get others to list players they’d like to see updated with body & face scans, and hopefully it bring awareness to it so SDS would update them asap. Mine are:

Carlos Narvaez (body)
Jarren Duran (face & hair)
Marcelo Mayer (body)
Garret Crochet (face & body)
Caleb Durbin (body)

@SDS_JoeK_PSN Hello Sir, hope you’re doing well. The game looks great so far but was wondering why are the Red Sox missing so many body/face scans? I mean these current ones are pretty egregious (Mayer’s body makes him look 10 years old, Narvaez looks like he weighs 180 lbs, & Durbin looks like he’s 6’5). And when looking at other teams, they don’t have nearly as many players who have such poor models. Even prominent players like Duran and Crochet don’t have proper scans (Duran Is a Mexican American with curly hair in real life yet in the game has the same hair as the lead singer of a rock band). As a Sox fan, it’s frustrating & disappointing and was hoping you could provide some insight. I buy the game every year and it really sucks my favorite team is done so inaccurately.
