But, for $39.95 couldn't you help a brother out and get the latest greatest photos in there before the release? I mean Jamie Moyer as a Mariner. When was that 1978 his rookie year?
If I remember correctly, the development team seriously considered a contract allowing official Major League visuals in the game. Unfortunately such contracts are established by the big games such as MLB 2K and MLB the Show which sell a much higher volume of games at a much higher cost and can therefore support a much higher contract with MLB. I believe the team discovered that the cost per game sale would be prohibitive.
