Bryce Harper, has it always been this early in naming a cover athlete?

Re: MLB The Show 17 Cover Athlete To Be Announced on October 27 at 12:00 PM EST
 

Josh Donaldson was revealed as the MLB The Show 16 cover athlete on December 5, 2015.

Jose Altuve is my guess.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Cover Athlete Revealed on October 27 at 12PM EST, Any Predictions
 

Rizzo or bust .

I'm gonna say, Kris Bryant or altuve or maybe a special cover with David Ortiz

Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo, Javier Baez, Jon Lester, Kyle Hendricks....Take your pick.

Immediately thought Bryant...

But to be different, I'm going with Francisco Lindor...

Would be cool to see one of my favorite players, Nolan Arenado, get the nod and some national recognition. I'm going to guess that it'll be Harper though.

They could put Bob Uecker on the cover and I'd still pre-order. Having said that, it's awesome to see anything Show-related in October. Something tells me it's going to be another extremely long winter.

Vin Scully.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Cover Athlete Revealed on October 27 at 12PM EST, Any Predictions
 

Mookie Betts

Re: MLB The Show 17 Cover Athlete Revealed on October 27 at 12PM EST, Any Predictions
 

Also noticed that there never has been a pitcher as the cover athlete.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Cover Athlete Revealed on October 27 at 12PM EST, Any Predictions
 

Bartolo Colon going deep

i bet its a cub, Kris Bryant, or an Indian.

Kris Bryant or Francisco Lindor are my guess. Personally, I'd like to see Jose Fernandez on the cover!

Re: MLB The Show 17 Cover Athlete Revealed on October 27 at 12PM EST, Any Predictions
 

Eddie on the Canadian cover?

Re: MLB The Show 17 Cover Athlete Revealed on October 27 at 12PM EST, Any Predictions
 

Jose Fernandez gets my guess.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Cover Athlete Revealed on October 27 at 12PM EST, Any Predictions
 

Mike Trout hasn't been a cover boy before...how could it be anyone else? Maybe they even get to scan his face this time!

Jose Fernandez would be a wonderful gesture!

Re: MLB The Show 17 Cover Athlete Revealed on October 27 at 12PM EST, Any Predictions
 

They may do something with Ortiz kinda like 2k did with Koby.

Well I think Mike Trout is safe to scratch off the list... :p

I'd love to see Bryant (really looking to tailor to that youth crowd), but just to throw another name out there how about Corey Seager (though not expecting it).

Re: MLB The Show 17 Cover Athlete Revealed on October 27 at 12PM EST, Any Predictions
 

With all due respect to Jose Fernandez and the nice gesture it would be, I feel it would be a bit weird and maybe even depressing to put a recently and tragically deceased person on the cover of a video game.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Cover Athlete Revealed on October 27 at 12PM EST, Any Predictions
 

Yeah. I tend to agree.

Kris Bryant or maybe Rizzo

Ortiz is no Kobe. I'm sorry but he legitimately may not get into the Hall of Fame, people need to stop with David Ortiz already.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Cover Athlete Revealed on October 27 at 12PM EST, Any Predictions
 

Why do you say that?

Ortiz and PSVR RTTS mode

Re: MLB The Show 17 Cover Athlete Revealed on October 27 at 12PM EST, Any Predictions
 

MLB The Show 17, Back to Basics, featuring Mike Trout.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Cover Athlete Revealed on October 27 at 12PM EST, Any Predictions
 

Not a big Ortiz fan(Even less Koby). But he has always been a part of the show. The devs like him. That is why I wouldn't be surprised if they do something with him.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Cover Athlete Revealed on October 27 at 12PM EST, Any Predictions
 

Matt Carpenter :D

Re: MLB The Show 17 Cover Athlete Revealed on October 27 at 12PM EST, Any Predictions
 

Maybe some kind of 2 player cover from this years World Series like Javy Baez/Francisco Lindor. Or they are going to honor Vin Scully.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Cover Athlete Revealed on October 27 at 12PM EST, Any Predictions
 

I love the Scully recs. Such a legend. Even though the thread title says cover athlete, going outside of the strict definition to honor Scully would be great.

For players, I'd really like to see at the very least a Fernandez cover special edition, maybe an alternate cover.

I wonder if they'll go with a predictive Cubs WS championship pick and honor Bryant or Rizzo or Lester. As historic as a Cubs win would be for baseball, I wonder if The Show might want to capture that in some way with the cover selection.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Cover Athlete Revealed on October 27 at 12PM EST, Any Predictions
 

Kris Bryant

Re: MLB The Show 17 Cover Athlete Revealed on October 27 at 12PM EST, Any Predictions
 

Kris Bryant or Jose Altuve

Re: MLB The Show 17 Cover Athlete Revealed on October 27 at 12PM EST, Any Predictions
 

I'm really expecting it to be David Ortiz.

Anthony Rizzo .

Re: MLB The Show 17 Cover Athlete Revealed on October 27 at 12PM EST, Any Predictions
 

How about a pitcher for a change, Kluber anyone?
