Why don't they use correct player contract length and salaries

[jsou4646]

Is it because mlb doesn't want them to use use actual numbers or is there another reason

They do have correct contract length in game. Roster updates throughout the season even incorporate in season extensions that are signed.

This is how I understand it from the most prominent Veteran on this site.....

Yea, pretty sure it has to do with the fact that they only have the third party license and not an exclusive license.

I believe 2k used to have the correct contracts and lengths, could be wrong though.

Correct. MLB won't allow player salaries for reasons known only to MLB.

If you ask me, its incredibly stupid!

You can easily Google the contract terms and add them to the game yourself or at least as close as possible... sorta, but SCEA cant do it automatically.

Makes absolutely no sense whatsoever!

Actually I don't think even MLB knows.

Is this true? That's interesting if so.
