In one of the videos for show they have fukudome(japanese player) playing for the cubs. Now if you know 2ksports they say that they cannot have a players real name until he's played one real game for the pro's. How come the show can put his real name in then?

Re: Important QUESTION
Because Sony has a seperate contract with Japanese agents or some company they are represented by. -

Re: Important QUESTION
I read that they sign contracts with each player individually and that not all are in MLB 08 at this point.

Re: Important QUESTION
Dont worry though. I am sure they already have his likeness and Sig Style with him for 2K. And once he plays a few games they will patch him in, with his picture, sig style, and face.
They did that with Dice-K and a few others last year!Ⓥ Boston Red Sox | Miami DolphinsComment

Re: Important QUESTION
It's just a video. They probably have him in there because he'll eventually be on the roster. But, he won't be there in the shipped copy. You'll have to wait for an Opening Day roster update."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

Re: Important QUESTION
Yes, he will be in the game right off the bat. I asked Kolbe why The Show has Japanese players in the game before they ever appear in a game and 2K has generic representations of them, and he said because they negotiate with the players' agents individually to get them in the game.Comment

That's cool then. Didn't know they could do that."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied.
