Shouldn't Steve Carlton be in the game too? I feel like he's overlooked as one of the greatest lefties of all time. I would love to use his slider and curve.
It’s highly unlikely but they should try to get the rights to players that had short lived peak years or careers that were cut short due to injury. I have no idea how much the rights cost but if it’s not the biggest name, I would think it’d be considerably less. E.G. the Yankees: Joba Chamberlain, Tom Gordon & Thurman Munson (Fan Favorites) & Yogi Berra, Joe DiMaggio & Dave Winfield (Actual legend HOF’s) Use the lower tier guys for TA. People really will stop playing if they just give out the same Kyle Schwarber card with different card art every month. They need to flood the game with fresh faces & not call all of them Legends.
I think we would also need a mark teixeira “Tex” incognito and we gotta have Beltre but as Astros fan I gotta have Jose Cruz in the game just look at his stats!!
I was excited for the Pirates pick hoping you would say someone like Brian Giles. Dude had some big seasons for the Bucs and had some solid seasons for your Guardians.

I have bought the new baseball game since 2004 however this year I think I am going to pass just because of inflation and the price of everything going up I really cant afford to play video games this year unfortunately. I will save a ton from not purchasing game and the show is all I play so I will save another $100 from not buying playstation network and I wont need high speed internet so that will save me another $65 a month. In 2024 if you live on your own you will need to make at least 5k a month to afford to play video games which is crazy yet true lol

“Legends” that need to be in game😭: Ichiro Josh Gibson Steve Garvey Nomar Garciaparra Bartolo Colon Adrian Beltre Roger Clemens Some “underrated” people I’d love to see in the game: Hideki Matsui Hideo Nomo David Eckstein Benji Molina Russell Martin Stephen Drew Rafael Furcal Tim Hudson Josh Beckett I have so many 😭 Also since we don’t have the WBC this year maybe they can do “World Classic Flashbacks” that have like a WBC David Wright and Ichiro Also if we wanna get stars from Team Japan and Korea we can do something like “Worlds Finest” 🤷♂️ I’m a demanding guy
Bo jackson George Brett Barry Bonds Big Mac Pete Rose Ichiro Tony Gwynn Deion Sanders Ricki Henderson Randy Johnson Jeff Bagwell Micky Mantle Cal Ripken Jr Jeter A-Rod Ken Camminiti That’s my list of guys I want in the show
Clemons.ramirez ..dustin. Mo Vaughn nomar Garciaparra.. alex Rodriguez ty cobb hornsby.. andy pettite joe d. Maris. Bonds. Ichiro and all the ones we had and more would be crazy
Not even a certainty we even get a game this year - especially with the game abandoning the XBox One and PS4. Wouldn't shock me if Sony takes a year off to overhaul the engine for PS5 and XBox Series X (which is BADLY needed - the game is very outdated).
I need a 99 Kenny Lofton back this year. Would love to get a coco crisp card. Wouldn't even care if it was just a 93-97 card. His name alone is legendary
Couldnt agree more with most of these. Especially the Big Puma.. He is a HOF snub for sure.. If you look at his advanced metrics, obp, obp+, slugging and several others it ranks up there with the best seasons ever. The man was so under rated. And just because he never broke big numbers he was dropped of the ballot when others were not. It is outrageous he didnt get a better shot at the HOF.. Also he came up at the wrong time, and how he came up a little late and retired a bit early so he didnt get some of the simple length numbers others get for just playing more seasons.. We need to start a petition to get him back on the ballot. Go Lance Berkman
I love Dustin pedroia, but I would much rather see Jason varitek. You will never see Bonds in a video because he isn't part of the players association. So getting his rights will never happen.
NGL I really hope incognito cards aren’t a thing next year. I just didn’t like having some of the best cards not display the players’ actual names in game.
Honestly a really underrated legend to add in my opinion would be Dan Quisenberry, look at the dudes baseball reference, not to mention how overpower he would be as a submarine 99 😅
A bunch of these names will never be in the game because of domestic violence allegations (Manny, Hamilton) or Bonds (he was always weird with his rights, even as a player)
Chris carpenter was nasty really want him Tim lincecum and manny most definitely. Only other cardinal is yadi the best defensive catcher to play the game but I could see it being too soon especially when you think of carpenter in the fold
