Where is Phillies manager Pete Mackanin?

[themadcap]

Just wondering if anyone knows why he isn't in the game? I know that they can't put coaches in who are first year coaches but Pete was the interim manager last year and was resigned to a new deal for 2016. Thinking he should be in the game instead of the generic developer guy.

Most likely because there wasn't a deal signed between Mackanin and SDS.

Hmm.. I thought that coaches are covered under the players union? I know this is what prevents minor league players from being represented in the game (until their first ML at bat), but figured that since he was a coach last year (and a third base coach from 14-15) he'd surely be in.

No I think coaches are contracted individually.

I could be wrong though.

Ron Washington isn't in the game as Oakland's 3rd base coach either, but there's commentary on a foul ball hit towards the coaching box that says his name

Hmm, yeah I would think that he should definitely be in the game. Weird.

Any chance of him being added through an update? Says a ton about how amazing this game is that his omission is so glaring (to a Phillies fan, that is).

No, he won't be added until next year. Such has been the same for coaches in previous games that were missing.

I wish the names of the front office brass, managers, and coaches could be edited and their appearance could be changed to mimic their real-life counterpart. I keep hoping to see it as a new feature with each release.

Me too, would be really easy for them to add.

I can't stand how they have Farm Director listed as coaching staff but no bench coach. They jerseys numbers should at least be editable. This part of franchise gets no love at all.

Re: Where is Phillies manager Pete Mackanin?

It takes a full year to get coaches in usually, if you remember it took about 2 years before Brad Ausmus was on the game even though he was an ex player and they had his player model.

I am not even sure why Dusty Baker model is not on the Nationals since he was on there previous games as the Reds manager. I myself been wanting editable coaches and older ex players available to sign as coaches that have retired kinda like Madden use to have.

Re: Where is Phillies manager Pete Mackanin?

I've got the Dusty Baker model on my Nationals, but it has a fake name when I look at my staff. Matt V. even says the name Dusty when I make a pitching change.

Re: Where is Phillies manager Pete Mackanin?

Next years game definitely needs the ability to add/edit coaches just like we can with all CAP. Imagine an OSFM roster with full minors and correct coaching staffs.
Would definitely need to be considered for game of the year
