The Show 25: Missing players and possible comparisons

Re: The Show 25: Missing players and possible comparisons

Not exactly a missing player, but I started a franchise with current injuries, and they do have the legit injuries like Manea, Rendon, etc. But they have Alek Manoah as healthy on the Jays, even though he won't be back until July or August after Tommy John surgery.

If you want to change that go into your mode specific settings go to injuries and turn it to manual and you can fix that.

And you have to this year because of the can’t send down after 5 years

Wish you could add injuries before starting a franchise

You mean outside of Franchise Mode, so you only have to do it once?
Otherwise, inside franchise mode you could still do it before the very first February 20 spring training game.

Really weird what SDS did with rosters this year…. Seeing numerous guys who haven’t played in MLB in years but are in the game right now with stats and face scan.

Why the hell not do this for everyone then??

Boggles the mind. Right now, there are four players who are likely to make OD Rosters who are missing - Ian Anderson (ATL), Michael Fulmer (BOS), Shinnosuke Ogasawara (WAS), and Tomoyuki Sugano (BAL). Anderson and Fulmer have been in the Show before and they were able to add Sasaki and Kim at launch, so I really don't get why they couldn't have these four.

I've said it for years, they need to work out a better licensing deal with the MLBPA. Something that doesn't require a new contract every year. Once you've signed on, that should be it. Cause it's not all that uncommon for guys to be gone and come back after a lengthy absence from MLB. Also, if they know that certain foreign players are going to be in the majors (like the Japanese and Korean imports), have a deal in place before the game comes out (which they obviously did with Sasaki and Kim and Ohtani years ago - so it CAN be done).

Not a player, but that is definitely NOT John Schneider when the Jays manager comes out to change the pitcher, unless he suddenly grew long gray hair lol. They usually have the managers don't they? I know at least the 3rd base coach for the Jays is correct.

Re: The Show 25: Missing players and possible comparisons

This question isn't really about missing players, but is there a list anywhere of players who were in 24, but retired after the 2024 season and aren't in 25? Guys like Joey Votto.

Ian Anderson just got traded to the Angels. So hopefully he gets added soon

Most likely won't be added until he pitches during the regular season.

Such a stupid rule. Dude's been licensed to be in the game before. He's on a Major League roster. Should be in Day One.

Sorry, ma'am, they don't make the rules. They just think them up and write them down.
