    You could always create Griffey and even give him his real name... I'm just explaining why it is the way it is.

      But your explanation fails. You posit he can't be put in if he isn't licensed. Thing is, we have a credible example of a flashback player who isn't part of the PA and still got a card in the game.

      So why didn't Griffey get at least the same treatment?

        They did that because he was in the game under that name for a number of years and is part of this video games history. You cant just start making fake names for all kinds of legends, gets kinda stupid.

          Uh, my explanation does not "fail" when I clearly stated the circumstances for Ken Griffey Jr to be in the game. I don't know if he is part of the MLB Players Alumni Association or not, but having Bonds in the game with a fake name actually proves my point.

          You want them to just create a bunch of legends who have fake names if they can't use their real name? You'd have to ask the developers why they included Bonds with his fake name and yet didn't do it for any other legends. He is one of the greatest and most famous baseball players of all-time, but they probably just did it for fun.

          They can put Bonds in the game with a fake name because it doesn't violate using his likeness, which they would have had to pay for. Either Griffey is part of the MLBPAA and isn't in the game, or he's not and they don't want to create another fake name player. Ask the developers if you want a more definitive answer, but there's rules they have to follow. If you still can't understand this then you'll have to ask someone with more time on their hands.

            They added Bonds as Reggie Stocker because that was his name on earlier versions of the game when he still played. He removed himself from the MLBPA so no games etc could use his name but obviously the Giants still needed a left fielder in game so they re-created him with this alter ego.

            Having him in game is simply just a nice gesture to older players who would have used stocker on the older games and would get a kick out of his inclusion.

            They can't just add in hundreds of random named legends and expect us to know who they are lol maybe they will work on getting griffeys likeness added but I doubt it, you can always make your DD player him, his swing and stance are in the game.

                  I worded that wrong. I meant as a flashback or Legend card.

                    No.

                    I'm sure as the mode grows they will work harder to get bigger legends in the game.
