I believe they choose Puig because other bigger names like Kershaw/Trout probably wanted more money than SCEA wanted to pay.

You guys have to remember that the show series isn't a huge franchise like Madden and 2k. I don't think 14 even broke a million copes sold. They have to make money on these games so they can't go out and pay big money for other guys.

The Show team should do a poll for a fan choice of a cover athlete and then print that player on the reverse side of the insert (like they did with Bioshock Infinite cover). That would solve most people's problem.

I'm sure Puig would really appreciate them doing that.

I'm just pleased they didn't do a marketing ploy like a vote. That stuff annoys the hell out of me.

Yep, drives me batty.

Thought Kershaw would've been on the cover before Puig.. That'd be nice to have Nike accessories through!

I also thought Kershaw, when one of the hints was they hit a HR on April 1st but they both did.

Like the choice, but not the pose. Want to see him swinging a bat.....

Is Mike Trout's asking price too high or something? We've basically got the 2nd coming of Mickey Mantle curiously not on the cover of the only console MLB video game available.

Re: Yasiel Puig is the Cover Athlete For MLB 15 The Show

I never knew people cared this much about a cover.

It's not so much the cover (I design my own anyway) as the recognition for the guy who ends up on it. If Puig is the poster boy for a new generation than so be it, but it's not for me.

Sure I'm a Giants fan. I'll also admit Kershaw is more deserving than most of the guys on our roster. Puig? Not so much.

I'm glad that SCEA isn't doing these asinine fan Votes for Covers anymore. Pick a "hot" player and run with it. No need to build up hype for this title with stupid fan votes and "tournaments".

Yes it's much better to pick an athlete that seemingly the majority of fans actively dislike.

Congrats to Puig on being on the cover of The Show. Can't wait for more info on the game.
