Fans Are HATING On Jazz Chisholm After MLB The Show Cover Reveal 

As a marlins fan, ofc he doesn’t deserve the hate and people are honestly angry that Julio or Aaron didn’t get it but let’s be honest here, they’re looking for personality not good stats and we all know jazz probably has some of the best personality in the MLB

I find it funny that some people are so pressed about this. It’s a videogame case cover. People are whining about a videogame case cover.🤦‍♂️ But yeah I think Julio deserved it more but it really isn’t a huge deal.

Not hating. But based on card values overall fan bases. I really don't think this was a good marketing decision. They should have went with either Jrod or Jeremy pena ws MVP. Or even Yordan. That may sound bias considering I'm a stros fan. But serious why wouldn't you. But that's why I through in jrod cuz if not an Astros than he would been best fit for the cover.

But it might not be so bad because on ps4 or ps5 for that matter the cover art sometimes changes. Like for example madden 23. Has madden on cover. However last month the cover art changed to a variant cover of madden. So maybe mlb will do the same even tho that's EA sports. And mlb is Playstation studios.

@@chrisakane9840 SD is still gonna get money no matter the cover dude, the cover don’t mean shit, plus this might get jazz atleast more recognition bc the marlins aren’t really that big of a franchise

True! It's not a big deal to some. But to most? It is a big deal. Why? Because to most people who really treasure the games morals, integrity, etc... You have to wonder where is all of that when it comes to the voting system based on the players stats and popularity? Especially, when those players work extremely hard to created those stats for themselves, the game, and the fan base? Jazz Chisom's selection for the cover was not at the right time. He only played 60 games. His player stat history doesn't earn the selection. Also, unless you're a Marlins fan? I guarantee you only 10% of everyone aware of the game, and its players, even know who Jazz is. There are too many reasons as to why he should've been selected for the cover this year. If he continues to build his resume as his potential is proven to do so? His selection for 2025 or 26's cover would definitely suffice.

They pick him during the Allstar break . No one can create game in 2 months.

@SaltoDaKid Lol....that's correct! Still doesn't justify their selection.

@@jlawhonestmusic6565 by all star break it was an absolutely justifyable pick. Do you remember jazz's popularity as a viral sensation before the injury? Or do you have selective memory.

@@jlawhonestmusic6565 I wish there was a laugh emoji for that. It's a video game cover, not the MVP award. If anything, be mad at how they choose Silver Sluggers and all stars. An actual player award.

If I was starting a team, I would pick Julio #1

you don't want that curse for your player I I do think that Jay Rod deserved it, but you don't want that curse trust me

I agree man I thought I would be Betts or Julio

MLB The Show made it when Jazz was announced to be the starting second baseman in the all star game… At least from what I’ve heard

Yeah ok, MH2 says HOLD MY BEER!!!!!

Exactly, they should’ve put someone who can actually put up good numbers, such as Mookie, Goldy, or Arenado.

No doubt

If they had to be “diverse” why not go Mookie? He’d probably be my first choice anyway

if his name isnt jazz would he be the cover 🤔🤔

@@theredhood028 should put Albert Pujos or Miguel Cabrera

This is actually really true lol

@@Gliztard hell yeah it’s true, that’s Joey Back2Backs

Eh he’s just not exciting. I mean looking at the numbers Adley Rutschman was at worse just as good as J-Rod and played a more valuable position. However he’s not nearly as exciting and that’s what it’s about when you get the cover

I’m a Phillies fan and said goldy or arenado would a better option in my eyes. I’m not mad about jazz but his sample size is just too small for the cover.

You can't put a white man on the cover of jack shit anymore.

You gotta be a a cardinals fan. Goldy on the cover? Just say that to yourself, it doesn’t sound right😭😭😭

@@davidp2041 I’m a giants fan

When does jazz talk the talk

@@michaelguardalabene3495 it’s not really that he has said anything but the only thing people have really said about him is that he has great potential but he has yet to fully prove it unlike Julio

@@MadKingTylor he started out pretty good but then got hurt you saw his potential when he played I still remember that moonshot he hit on DeGrom

He was hurt for 2/3 the seasons… wasn’t that he couldn’t walk the walk he didn’t play.

@@donleonard4446 the best ability is availability

I think it should of been judge again I mean he brought more eyes to the sport than anyone this season

And Goldschmidt

@@willppp repeating covers are weird. let the kids play.

They picked him back in Allstar break, that’s same time they start the game development time. Game developing it’s s that yes.

@@willppp I love Aaron Judge and am a huge Yankees fan but i think it honestly should've went to Julio Rodriguez, plus not into repeat cover athletes

or Verlander

Shohei was on it

@@ianwoods6944 doesn’t really count since he’s a hitter too

Pitchers aren't as fun as hitters (except Bauer, who they banned)

I think the last pitcher on a cover was Roy Halladay way back in like 2011

and this is why there’s no really good argument for why jazz should be the cover athlete

He’s actually very well known

@@brendan594 cool what's ur source? Is it "trust me bro"

its the other way around, the cover is fire

Exactly, and the Julio cover concept looks cooler imo

Exactly, and the Julio cover concept looks cooler imo

Yes consume Rocko! Consume it all!!! Who cares if it's shit, buy it. You must

eww

eww

Ehhhh probs not

If you’ve ever watched Chisholm he’s just as if not more fun, loud, and flashy.

@@nate5thegreat5 if jazz played a whole season, I wouldn’t be mad but it should’ve been Julio.

@@nate5thegreat5 but not nearly as good as Julio Rodriguez

No one is promised anything. The opportunity is now and Julio should've definitely been the cover athlete.

@@flaquis2729 it’s rare to award the cover athlete to a rookie

@@brendan594 Exactly.

@@brendan594 except Judge

@@brendan594 also rare to award it to a player like Jazz.

Trout can't be in the cover because he has a contract from another game

I mean the angels are already cursed. .WHy not get the cover

@@willyrodriguez10 no way actually? I had no idea

Trout has a contract with mlb 9 innings so he cant

So showboating is how the league doesnt die? Nippon league has managed to thrive without all the unsportsmanlike conduct. Watch the first 5 minutes of baseketball, it perfectly illustrates modern sports and the people watching them now.

well the choice of cover athlete shows how out of touch the developers actually are with the Fanbase

I agree with this

Ohtani...

ohtani, stroman

Ohtani was just on the cover last year.

@@maxlee449 stroman was only on the Canadian version of the game

Only worthy pitchers were Verlander and Javier. I'd be fine with that

As a mariners fan, both those guys would've made more sense than jazz chisholm.

People dont buy a game for the cover, they buy it for the game. Dont know how having a mid tier player on the cover is gonna create more fans.

1. Trout has a contract with another game 2. Trout isn't that Marketable.

By modern fan standards of flash over production, swisher would be a hall of famer if he played now.

Well not for the newer fans. All they seem to care about is watching bat flips and guys dance around the bases like fools. The first 5 minutes of "Baseketball" perfectly illustrates modern sports and modern fans.

Yeah same here. First thing I thought it must be was his speed.

I'm sick of these "style" upgrades. If these upgrades mean we keep losing features in franchise and RTTS and getting more glitches and commoditized pay-to-play bullshit, then I'll just keep playing 2016 version. I'm pretty sure the reviews are getting worse with every year. How is that even possible with technology? Obviously rewarding these studios with exclusive rights is not doing anyone any good. (Except the studio). SDS shit the bed on this one.

@@bjpargeter466 exactly. Well said.

"Fun"=guy flips his bat and dances around bases like a fool when he hits a home run.

@@johnwayne9828 yes.

he is still in no way deserving of the title of cover athlete

@@Tylercantsleep they probably signed him to the cover while he was hot. Then he got injured.

The Dominicans do the same shit and many of them buy this game

Lmao

Fr

He was gonna be on the cover but he struck out

Haha thank you! I appreciate that

Grats dude! Keep banging em out 👏

this is a silly argument because there are many players that fit this mold that are better than jazz

Is "swag" all you modern fans care about?

You're a dumdum, johnny.

@@no_problem8023 how so?

He’s got plenty of more opportunities

probably because its boring? why would i want to see degrom if i could see jazz? not very appealing
