Under Armour Shoes in the Show 14?

[Factzzz]

It seems like many of the young up and coming players are wearing under armour gear, and if I remember correctly, Russell said there would not be Nike shoes in the game because Under Armour is the official mlb shoe brand or somethng like that.

With the addition of the Nke undershirts this year, what are the odds that we get more brand names, like under armour shoes?

Guess it just depends on the money situation, if Under Armour wants too much money, then probably won't happen. I just wish they would bring back the Style 1 cleats & batting gloves from MLB 12. I hate the new Style 1, and those are fine for me. If they have trouble getting the branding, I have no problem with it.

Not sure how this works.

Does SCEA pay Nike to use their logo in MLBTS or does Nike pay SCEA to advertise their logo in MLBTS?

SCEA pays Nike.

SCEA pays Nike.

Do you have a link to the Developer comment that said that?

I don't have a link, but i'm pretty sure i remember seeing it said that SCEA has to pay Nike and any brand they want to use in their game.

They have to pay for each individual item as well, like they paid for the Nike undershirts, but they'd also have to pay for Nike shoes separately, it's not a package deal.

Interesting. Id like to see that thread so I can share it on the "other" site...

Do you remember the Dev? Maybe I can search for it.

That part is incorrect. If companies had to pay for each individual item from a company to put in their game there wouldn't be as many shoes gloves etc we see in nba 2k, madden and fifa. That would be an enormous amount of money to pay.

Re: Under Armour Shoes in the Show 14?

It could be the other way around...where Nike pays SCEA.

Now you might say well "why wouldn't everything be name brand if SCEA is getting paid", but a company like Nike may not want to pay for all the different stuff. They may only be willing to pay for the shirt in the game at the current moment.

I don't know for sure though.

This is what I am thinking. It does SCEA no good to have Nike shirts. Its not like people are running out to buy MLBTS because they have Nike shirts.
But it is possible that people would go out and buy Nike shirts because they saw them in The Show.

Its how advertising works. Thats why many times when you watch TV, youll see someone with a Coke can or Gatorade bottle and the logo is blurred out or gaff taped over. Thats because Coke or Gatorade or whatever brand is not a sponsor of the TV show. They didnt pay for the advertisement.

Re: Under Armour Shoes in the Show 14?

I'm completely with you from an advertising aspect. I could see Nike paying to have their logo and product in the game as product placement. No different than when you visually see a Sam Adams bottle in a sitcom, they paid for their beer to be drank in that episode.


On the other hand, I do see SCEA paying to use Nike's logo.

I would compare that to the players saying that the game is making money off of their likeness.

Nike could argue (wrongfully) that people are buying this game because the players have the Nike logo on their shirts and thus they deserve to be paid for that.

I always thought it was dumb when they used gaff tape to cover a product logo on a can or bottle or car steering wheel.

I know its a Coke can so what have you done other than draw my attention to it even more?

Its just silly.

LOL, or the famous "flip the bottle around."

You ever watch that show, Operation Repo on TruTV.
I always suspected it was fake, but I knew for sure when two drunk girls came out to defend their car, each holding a beer bottle with no label on it!

BINGO! Fake!
