…none other then my boy Jazz! Super cool, but I feel like Sandy was more deserving. Oh well. I guess they wanted swag over previous accomplishments. I guess this is why I’ve been seeing a bump in his prices and a lot of BINs being smashed.

Either way, it’s the best game we’ve got. (Some may say the only.)

I get was SB is saying, when you look at that photo, it’s clear they’re going after that drip/sneaker boi crowd. I would have liked for them to have waited a few years until Jazz did more on the field and maybe use an action shot on the cover.
But either way, I’m happy for him and excited to see him on the cover. I’m looking forward to what he could do this season. I love the passion he brings to what would otherwise be a very boring franchise (except on days when Sandy pitchers).

I honestly wished they just used the City Connect jerseys. The base Marlins jerseys are not very becoming of a city like Miami.

Judge - ROY at the time who just hit 52 HR
Harper - MVP and future HOF
Baez - Cubs Cult icon and most overrated SS in the league
Tatis Jr. - Top 5 player at the time
Ohtani - it’s literally Ohtani
Chisholm - has cool hair and “drip”?

I can't be further from a racist. Get a clue. My favorite players growing up were Griffey, Deion & Bo. My PC is Ronald Acuna Jr. My favorite players have tons of swag.

I think he was chosen because he makes a good pitch-man for kids.
I actually think that makes sense from a marketing sense.
But traditionally, the athletes on the cover of video games are typically one of the best players in the game -- often a reigning MVP or champ.
Jazz played 60 games last season. He was elected to his first All Star game while out for the season with an injury.

No, no he wasn’t taking a shot at Jazz unless it was indirectly. He flat out said they were chasing a certain demographic, he couldn’t have made his intentions more clear. And defending him just makes you look as bad.

Yup. Can’t argue with any of that. While The Show has used repeat cover athletes before, I think they were trying to avoid that this year. Judge/Ohtani have already been on recently, and Goldschmidt is boring (really good at baseball, but still boring). I think a Verlander/Alcantara combo cover would have been cool. While this is coming from a huge homer, I do think Jazz will eventually live up to the hype.

To be fair, it’s discussed they chose Jazz around the All star break last year. That’s when the wheels were in motion. And at the all star break, he was an all star and having a really good season. Add in the fact he’s young and super fun to watch, it makes sense for what they were going for. Plus Jazz is someone that’s been talking about the show for years.
Just kind of unfortunate he got hurt and ended the season pretty down

Yeah, which goes back to the idea he was picked for a specific demographic. He might not be the worst pick to ever grace the cover but he is the most unrecognizable player to be picked. Completely misses the demographic of people who would play the game.
I don’t have a problem with the pick. Especially since most people are just going to download the game without caring who is on the main screen. Just an odd pick when guys like Julio are right there and much more well known to kids who are going to play the game.
So why did they chose him?
Jazz is a big fan of the series and an active Diamond Dynasty player. He has even collaborated on gameplay videos with MLB The Show content creators in the past. Add on his youth, exciting play style, and huge swagger and you've got a great pick for cover athlete.

But he knows every single other young star in Major League Baseball? Except the one who was the leading vote getter at 2B for the NL last year? Mmmkay. Not sure what the take away should be there. Either way, the Marlins are a “small market” team, and I freely admit Jazz still has a lot to prove on the field. Maybe your son will become a fan in 2023!
I asked my 11 year old if he saw the cover. He plays a lot of baseball and also plays The Show. Said he did and was disappointed it wasn’t Julio*. He couldn’t remember Jazz’ name but knew him from videos and likes him. He also likes the cover.
*Julio is his favorite player right now so he would have been disappointed no matter who else it was.

No, no he wasn’t taking a shot at Jazz unless it was indirectly. He flat out said they were chasing a certain demographic, he couldn’t have made his intentions more clear. And defending him just makes you look as bad.

You are the epitome of everything that is wrong in our society today. Even if his intention was to say that they are going after a certain demographic, it doesn't mean that would be racist! He is simply pointing out the desire of the marketing and the crowd they are trying to attract. There is nothing derogatory in that, whatsoever.
I wonder how much you get paid an hour to be a professional victim these days.

Lol, I’m the problem pointing out someone is chastising a certain demographic. Next you’ll say you can’t be racist because you have a black friend.

And how was he chastising exactly? That's what I thought.

I guess making backhanded comments that someone is chasing a certain demographic isn’t chastising to you. But hey, you do you, just let inherently racist commentary slide, and then attack someone for pointing it out. If you didn’t see the problem with the comment then guess what, you probably have racist tendencies too.

Cmon man, how are you not seeing how his original comment wasn’t problematic? Stereo-typing ethnic groups or demographics is never ok.

You've been drinking the CNN Kool-Aid too long. He said nothing derogatory about another race, period. Just because you read it that way doesn't make it true.
When nobody comes to your side on a public forum it isn't them, it's you.

At the time of Jazz’s season-ending injury, he had an .860 OPS and was on pace for a 30/30 season, and 75 extra-base hits.
Doing that as a 24-year-old second baseman who plays with exuberance and—yes—dyes his hair would certainly add up to an exciting, young player, and an emerging talent.
