World Baseball Classic teams?

[luballr41]

Does anyone know if MLB the Show will have World Baseball Classic teams?

No they will not... Konami owns the rights to the WBC.

Nope. They don't have the license for the wbc. Many roster people do put the teams together as accurate as possible and put them on mlb teams with similar uniforms so you find those in the roster vault if anyone wants to use those teams though. But the actual teams with names and uniforms will not be in the show.

It would be a wonderful addition one day but I wouldn't count on it happening especially with the tournament being only every four years I doubt they bother dedicating much time to that ever.

Wonder if Sony has ever approached Konami about a partnership or collaboration? We would see the most epic baseball game one could ever imagine if that happened.

I find it interesting how sports leagues decide who gets licenses to something? Obviously money is the determining factor, but I feel like long term they hurt the brand by doing so.

- NFL 2K Series was just as good, if not better than Madden...yet the NFL chose to give them exclusive license.
- EA's MVP Series was better than MLB 2K series, and MLB chose to give them the exclusive license.
- MLB The Show is the ONLY MLB game being produced with rights to MLB players (80%+ of the WBC Rosters are made up of MLB players) but someone thought it was a good idea to give WBC rights to Konami...who only makes Japanese League games????

Whoever makes these decisions at MLB and NFL are morons...
