Starling Marte

Just wondering if he is going to come off the game box as OOTP is loading...
or at least until he comes back.

Though honestly i don't see why. should we remove him from the game completely and erase all memory while we're at it?

he's not a bright one... he use a steroid that is detectable.

hr's are back into a ~5k arena, there's a new synthetic roid out there and someone probably lied when they sold it to him for lots of $$$.

I don't see the point in moralizing what he did IRL with having him on/off a load screen/gamebox in a game he may not even know about. And I suspect the developers don't either

In an on-line league that I joined during the 2015 season, I have the Pirates. In that game, Marte was a consistent disappointment and declined rapidly to bench warmer status. Maybe the OOTP engine knew something that wasn't visible IRL.

It's easy to say it doesn't matter, but having a guy suspended for half the year on cover art might not leave a favourable first impression on a potential new buyer. Wouldn't be the first time a cover was changed due to off-field antics.

As I used to live in Pittsburgh I choose the Pirates and he always turns into a train wreck after 1-2 years. I smarted up in my latest league and traded him for Kluber right away and the team's a powerhouse now.

When the Dany Heatley car accident happened, EA Sports changed the cover athlete on their copies of the game for Joe Sakic.

It's usually poor PR strategy to juggle with controversial athletes and their ethics for companies because the controversy brings too much negativity and to some, will reflect the views of the company (even though it is not related at all - just the way some people are thinking).
