MLB 07 The Show, Wheres Bonds?

[Hyfeeboy]

i just got the game and dont see him on the giants roster

edit: found the answer!

Because the following players are not members of the MLBPA, they are used in the game under alias names:

Team = Game Name (Real Name)

* Baltimore Orioles = 1B Ivan Jimenez (Kevin Millar)
* Baltimore Orioles = RP Steve Cardwell (Jamie Walker)
* Boston Red Sox = SP Tate Baik (Daisuke Matsuzaka)
* Boston Red Sox = RP Vince Stewart (Brendan Donnelly)
* Colorado Rockies = RP Ricky Lawson (Tom Martin)
* Milwaukee Brewers = C Chris Gill (Damian Miller)
* San Francisco Giants = LF Reggie Stocker (Barry Bonds)
* Texas Rangers = RP Ed Brady (Ron Mahay)

bonds has a special contract...he hasnt been in a video game for 3 years, and only certain baseball card companys have his cards too.

to say that

you gotta pay barry money personally to use his rights since he manages himself and is not represented by the mlb players assocation. and probably most of the time he doesnt accept those offers to be in the games.

It's been longer than 3 years...

Barry isn't in the MLBPA, so he's not in the games. I guess if someone offered him enough cash, he'd put his name in, but he must want a shitload of scrill...
