Yasiel Puig is the Cover Athlete For MLB 15 The Show - Nike Accessories?

[Bobhead]

Gotta love all the covert racism and xenophobia in regards to this guy. I mean I don't really like the cover but it's still sad to see some of the responses.

This truly makes me sick.

Puig was the #5 jersey sold in the 2nd half of the season although Kershaw was #2, it's not like Puig isn't one of the most popular players in the league.

Wow, this thread...

It's just a cover people (although with all of the upset people with this, I'm inclined to like Puig more).

It blows my mind how so many people automatically say it is a no buy this year just because of the player that is feature on the cover. It's not like you have to play with the guy every game. You see the guy on a few menus and when you look at the case for the game.

16 hr and 69 rbi lands a guy on the cover lol. If Puig played in a smaller market nobody would kno who he is. How about a guy like Jose Abreu who had 37 hr and 107 rbi for a cover? This is a pretty desperate attempt to sell copies by putting an undeserving over hyped guy on the cover.

Abreau = 20th in WAR for hitters
Puig = 23rd in WAR for hitters

Please find me the holy scripture that states only the best players can be put on the cover of a video game.
