MLB Managers 2018

[Tyzzzle]

Hey All

Really quick question. My game doesn't seem to have some new Managers such as Aaron Boone, Kapler etc. as managers for their teams.

Do I need to update my roster or will they just not feature at all on this edition of The Show?

Did the same thing happen in MLB 17 with the new managers last season?

Would appreciate any help somebody could give on it.

Many Thanks!

If a manager isn't in the game, he probably wasn't approved in time. They don't get updated either.

Thanks for the quick response. That's a shame. I brought the prerelease and thought they were gonna be included in an update after the general release happened. Thanks for the info man!

Seems odd that they wouldn't include the new managers... or update it. It isn't like the names aren't in the game (separately of course)... I mean, you can name a RttS player Aaron Boone... so why not just patch it...

I don't think that have the rights to them..even some coaches and managers that have been with the team for years are not always in the game...I still would like them to add bench coaches or be able to edit your coaches...I do not know why that cannot be done seems like something that might take an hour or two of development time....

Some managers get patched in later, which was the case with some new managers last year. I guess it depends on whether or not they got a face scan and agreed to be in the game during spring training.

That's interesting and thank you. How long did it take last time? If you remember that is!

Buddy Black became the manager of the Colorado Rockies prior to the start of the 2017 season, but he did not appear in this game until this year in MLB 18. For MLB 17 it was some generic dude who neither looked like Black nor his predecessor Walt Weiss. Not saying managers have never been included in a patch because I have not paid close attention to every manager in the game. But for the ones I was aware of, I always needed to wait until the following year before they showed up in the game. And then there could be the case where they don't want to be in the game? Not aware of this in baseball, but for football Darth Vadar (Bill Belichick) has always refused to be in the Madden series.
