    The Show 25: Missing players and possible comparisons

    Hey guys!

    Next week it's finally the release of the new version of our favorite game. But as we know it's hard sometimes to get into the game that day because there are always some key figures of some teams missing. Either because they came from overseas or because they haven't been in the majors for a bit.

    What I want to do here is two things:

    1: List the players that will be missing
    and
    2: Find a comparable player that is in 24 to take as a base in creating those players.

    So far for the missing players I have:
    - Roki Sasaki, Dodgers (? behind him because we saw him in one breakdown, but just to be sure). Would the closest comparison for him be Yamamoto with a bit more velocity?
    - Shinnosuke Ogasawara, Nationals: A scouting deep dive I saw compared him to Kolby Allard or a left-handed Trevor Williams
    - Tomoyuki Sugano, Orioles: His comparison I saw was Paul Blackburn with way better command
    - Kyle Hart, Padres: That is tough since he changed so much since his last MLB outing. I looked at his pitch type numbers from last season and compared that to MLB pitchers of last season and a close comparison seems to be Kyle Hendricks.
    - Ian Anderson, Braves: Chris Paddack was a comparison I could see.

    Which other names could be missing next week and are there comparisons that I could work with as a base for those players? And do you have other comparisons in mind for the players I already mentioned?

There are going to be quite a few big name players who missed all of 2024 (Sandy Alcantara, Matt McClain, Shane McClanahan, Felix Bautista, Matt Brash, Liam Hendricks, Lucas Giolito, Lance McCullers Jr) as well as the foreign players (Sasaki, Kim, Osagawara) who will be missing.
    This was a pretty interesting post (and possibly relevant to this one) from the recent Ian Anderson thread.

    Talking about things nobody cares.

      Good thread the one I always go to when I first get the game to add in.

      Pretty sure was confirmed Sasaki in the game

      The others ? Who knows someone like sandy would be added in a month if he was missing and that would suck but in the rule if the player in a minor league game last year only they wouldn’t be in the game ??? That be most of those players except Anderson who was optioned in
      2024
      So if you just were on the IL all year and played in 2023 your in
      What we do know is if your suspended you won’t be in the game

        We know Sandy is in because he was in the rating reveal as one of the best Marlins players so I would assume all the others mentioned will be in as well.

        We have the conformation with Sasaki now, but at the same time we saw in that Nationals Franchise mode video that Shinnosuke Ogasawara is missing. So it's not like they changed something generally in their approach of overseaos players.

        I forgot Hyeseong Kim in my opening post, the Dodgers 2nd base man.

          Kim is going to start in minors too so don’t expect him added for a while he will have to be a cap

                Oscar Mercado will probably be missing for the Phillies since he played in 2023 but not in 2024. He'll probably be guy high on the depth chart for them in AAA with an outside shot of making the bench.

                  Also took a video of a good isn Anderson from 24 vault.

                  So I’ll create those 2 in vault about 5 hours after early access release which will be 5am US time

                  Any other players that anyone wants me to copy post away I’ll be spending all night doing it .

                    RF Oscar Gonzalez missing from SD. Has a good shot at making the OD roster. Was in 24. I'll copy over his attributes but im not good at faces when he had a player scan.

                    Roki and Hyeseong Kim confirmed in. I was really surprised Kyle Hart made it into the game for SD with a scan and player card photo.

                        Mercado is in 25 with a face scan.

                          Gonzalez not being in because he didn't play in MLB during 24 season...... But it doesnt make sense because Oscar Mercado of Phillies is in the game with a face scan, he didn't play in MLB during 24 either.

                          So idk what is going on this year with rosters.

                            I believe it has to do with the fact Mercado was on the 40 man and Gonzalez wasn't in 24. I remember that being the case in previous versions of the gane
