    White Sox Manager Ventura NOT in the game?!

    Just noticed some random generic bald guy in the dugout that is supposed to be the White Sox Manager?

    C'mon SCEA what's up with that? The guy was hired 5 months ago and is even a former player. Ridiculous.

    Whats ridiculous is people flying off the handle without knowing the facts.

    All managers have to be members of a certain association to be allowed to be in the game (cant remember off the top of my head which one), i would guess as Ventura has never managed in the Majors as yet he cant be part of it, for the same reasons the likes of Terry Collins, Don Mattingly among others werent in the game last year.

    If they are not part of this particular organistion then SCEA cannot put them in the game, its as simple as that.

      Could they at least make an effort to accurately depict likeness?!

        I'm not a lawyer but I would guess using his likeness is not permitted either.

          I would say the correct assumption would be that they made the effort to NOT make the guy look like Ventura, for the reason stated above.

                Oh how I wish some of the guys on O.S. would develop a game....
                THAT would be a blast to see upon it's release date.

                Here let me get out a list of reference words...

                stale
                lame
                ridiculous
                other
                game
                five
                years
                ago
                they
                had
                that
                in
                the
                game
                why
                can't
                it
                be
                done
                now
                ridiculous
                lame
                wtf?
                stale
                stale
                stale
                stale
                stale

                Am I leaving anything out?

                  I believe you left out "broken."

                    Yes!
                    ...and..

                    sliders
                    are
                    backwards

                    Okay...GO!

                    To the OP....
                    I'm obviously joking around...but I spent all of last year with a generic manager. I feel your pain. But IMO...not a big deal. If they could have struck a deal with him...he'd be in.

                    This is why...
                    1. I wish we could edit fake coaches and managers(we'd just "make" Ventura)
                    2. Be able to fire/hire coaches/managers in mid season.

                          As a White Sox fan who'll be playing this game with the White Sox franchise, I really could care less. Maybe it's just me?

                            John Farrell was in the game from the beginning last year as the Blue Jays manager. Was that because he was the Red Sox's pitching coach for the previous three years before that?

                              How many other managers does this affect this year? I'm curious if Davey Johnson made it into the game.
