If you decorate a cake with Bugs Bunny or some generic pattern, you don't own the rights to bug bunny or said generic pattern. Obviously, MLB the Show couldn't put tattoos of copyrighted characters in the game anyway.

The main issue here is that MLB: The Show is a much more visible platform. It's much more likely to come under fire from copyright infringement than an individual tattoo artist (the designs of which are hiding under clothing and not visible compared to being featured on a box perhaps in every big box store in the U.S.). It's only breaking the law if you get caught, right? The visibility is the issue here.

Thanks in advance for the response.

Doubt it. I don't even think there are contracts until loading the franchise mode. You haven't even been able to see them let alone edit them. That's how Totte was able to engineer real value contracts. Outside of franchise mode, he'd edit the players to be better or worse/alter their positions and then load the franchise mode (which would apply the contracts at that point) and then edit the players back to their normal ratings. It's a very tedious procedure, but the contracts stuck and there was hardly a better way.
