It’s done this way because their files for the uniforms are so huge and they’re stuck with their archaic template system that only has one jersey style that every jersey is based off of.

Meaning, to have dynamic patch placement the art assets would need to be duplicated as is and then added with whatever occasion is being celebrated. IE. postseason, Jackie Robinson Day, a memorial or celebratory patch, all star game, World Series, etc. so that’s one extra jersey, for each style, at the huge file size the uniforms already take up, per team.

The other major sports figured out somewhere around the PS2 era how to make patches an individual art asset and just allow the uniform templates to fit a patch on each one dynamically, and program specifics as to when they will occur and be removed. If this game doesn’t figure this out by PS5 then it’s truly even more mind boggling than it already is.
