JRPG (Japan role playing games) people who play those type of games don’t play sports games man it’s not a stereo type it’s a fac

My point is they are catering to a crowd that just isn’t coming die hard baseball fans are the ones that built this company and now are being turned aside for a diff type of fan base

I disagree with this take....

You're forgetting about millions of fans in Asia (especially Japan) who love baseball. This is 100% about also marketing into that fanbase as well.

That's just not true. Baseball is big or probably bigger in Japan than it is here in the US. That is actually a good marketing tool to use a Japanese player with anime because it is extremely popular in the US as well as in Japan. You missed the mark on this one.

I am sorry but what? You have to be kidding correct?

My top 5 games of all time include MLB 20, NCAA 14, final fantasy 6, 7, and 9.

Last I checked that was 3 jrpgs plus 2 sports games.

Someone can clearly like both. It's a stereotype that you are laying out there.

I love a good jrpg. Especially the classic ATB system ones. And last I checked I have over 600 hours in MLB 20 and another 500 in MLB 19.

I am also currently replaying for the third time final fantasy 6 plus also currently playing an MLB 20 franchise.

Care to prove me wrong that people can't be fans of 2 different genres of games?

They both provide a different itch. I wouldn't be gaming today if it weren't for old school final fantasy games that got me into gaming in the first place.

And for the record, I am not an anime fan. No issues with it. Just not my kind of television.

Ok, I’ll give you that they are catering to the die hard baseball fans in Japan, but let’s say a new legend is Derek Jeter ( I don’t see it) but let’s just say you’re all telling me it’s not a fail putting him on the cover of the digital edition? Come on

You’re not getting it. It’s clear as day that they are marketing to the wrong fan base

Please stop

Your ignorance is taking this thread in a direction it doesn't need to, and shouldn't, go.

Seriously man..please stop.

What fan base is the "right" one?

Let's face facts to most of us on this forum, or any forum that is about this game, the cover athlete does not really matter. They could just put a ball, bat and glove on the cover and we would buy it. They don't need to market to us. We don't base our purchasing decision on the cover.

You’ll all be back here saying the same thing

“Why aren’t the models changed”

“Why hasn’t franchise been touched”

Enjoy playing your recycled game with the most overrated player on the cover

For the record I am not buying 22. I was just coming to see who was on the cover of the collector's edition. My issue was with you saying people couldn't be fans of both. I was stating that people could be. You say I missed your point but you missed my point that people can have my multiple gaming interests especially in the jrpg aspect. I simply came here to prove you were wrong.

Doesn’t matter at this point the series is dead and why are they releasing a game when they’ll be no baseball season

I am sorry, but I just have to chuckle at this line. Most Overated?

So, there are other guys around who can hit 40 plus HR's, drive in 100 RBIs and also start 23 games as a pitcher with a 3.18 ERA?

I am not even a huge fan, as I am a NL guy but even I can see that he is not overrated.

The right fan base is the one that bought the game before diamond dynasty was even a thing but those people have been left out in the cold

Typical fan who enjoys the flavor of the month yasiel puig wasn’t overrated either
