Equipment Licenses

[Ed21]

When I first got into The Show the lack of equipment licenses put me off a little bit. Being a seasoned NBA 2k player, licenses were a big deal for me and having the correct shoes really helped immerse me in the game. After a while I kinda forgot about it with The Show but hearing they've got equipment licenses for 15 was one of the biggest pluses for me.

From the fact sheet we know there's gonna be 4 different brands each for bats, batting gloves, fielding gloves and 3 for cleats and from the preview trailer we know Nike is in for the cleats and batting gloves.

What other brands do you think we'll see? I'm from the UK so not entirely familiar with some of the equipment brands for baseball. What ones do you guys wanna see included?

I would think UA, Rawlings and Adidas...Not completely sure tho

I'm guessing it could be different for the different items. For example, I would hope they have Louisville sluggers for the bats, but I'm not sure they make shoes. I'm also hoping Mizuno is one of brands. I would bet under armour is one of them and obviously Nike.

From the brands I know, hopefully something like:

Cleats: Nike, Adidas, Under Armour
Batting gloves: Nike, Adidas, Franklin, Under Armour
Bats: Louisville Slugger, Marucci, Rawlings, Sam Bat
Fielding gloves: Wilson, Rawlings, Nike, Mizuno?

New Balance is more popular than Adidas, so for cleats I say Nike, New Balance, UA

I was thinking this as well, but I've never seen New Balance sponsor in any sports game. It doesn't really match their marketing strategy I don't think, unlike Nike, Jordan, Adidas, etc. I'd be very pleasantly surprised if NB did show up in MLB 15. Maybe we'll find out tomorrow.

I found it kind of ironic that you were put-off by a lack of real equipment in the game, yet go on to explain that you really wouldn't know what the real equipment would be anyway had it been in the game.

Skechers, Crocs, Sperry, Buster Brown maybe?
