@17 i dont know i like the fact that someone random can get in. Usually the sports teams like flashy here and now players and some of them do not hold up looking back on the years. I like the fact the Browns fans put a no named RB a couple years ago.

Personally I think they should have multiple players on the cover.

@17: Frankly, I’m surprised that Pittsburgh had enough of a fan base to participate. That said, I would have been comfortable with any of these picks (well, except for the prospect of putting a New York Yankee on there). I’m surprised by some of the candidates, though. Not that I’m a fan of his, but I can only assume RA Dickey was overlooked for not being terribly photogenic?

Leaving the cover up to the fans to decide was a bad idea.
People will vote for someone they don’t even care about, just so the “other guy” on that-team-they-hate won’t be on the cover…
Having the fans decide is just a weak way of tossing the job on their shoulders so you guys don’t get upset fans asking you “Why did you put HIM on the cover?”
Now you can just fold your arms and say “Well, the ‘fans’ voted on it.”
smh.

@EricSmith: Thanks for the reply — I’ll keep my ear to the ground for new announcements.

@15: Granted, Cabrera probably deserved it more than anybody on the list (first batting triple crown since Yaz), but to say that, for example, McCutchen didn’t deserve it at all is plain ignorant. There’s more to baseball than the postseason, and a LOT more to baseball than who was in the World Series.

Only Posey and Cabrera from that list are worthy candidates.

@13
Wow you are seriously going to move to the junkbox just because of a cover athlete??? What kind of baseball fan/gamer are you? Me thinks you’re just a bad troll. Stop getting you’re panties in a bunch people. Cover athlete doesn’t dictate game quality. We all know MLB The Show is by far the best baseball game out there, regardless if Justin Bieber is on the cover or Bugs Bunny.

not even having trout among candidates was a surefire way of losing customers. i have purchased every mlb series game since the first one but this insult is the final straw for me to move to xbox once they come out with a new console. what stupidity by the mlb and sony!

No Cross Buy = No buy for me, and with the insult of not selecting Cabrera as the only choice just reinforces that decision. Last year I bought both, this year, none. I can hold on this year with my old copies for both platforms. Hope you learn Sony, next year try again and see if I care.

Can we Bautista?

I’d much rather have Bautista…

at-least for us Canadians, again.
