Is there Enough of a Want for a College Baseball game from SDS?

Just a reminder I have a college roster for Show 23 called "My 2024 College Roster" in the vault. It's been updated from last year's.

Thanks for that info. It'd just be nice if we could just get a college baseball game and a college basketball game. I guess online play and microtransactions have made it to not be cost effective as there isn't near the money to be made by a franchise/dynasty based sports game as the money made by pro sports games.

I'm not opposed but there's not enough time in a day/year for me to add yet another sports game.I already don't get around to many non-sports games and have to keep my sports games on a schedule to get what I feel I need to get in.

College baseball should be a thousand times more popular than it is. What is coverage like in the states? Do they play highlights on Sport Centre? I'm in Canada and we get NOTHING. I have to watch the 15 minute recaps on Youtube if I want to see anything (or find a streaming site). And the College World Series is one of the best tournaments in sport and deserves more respect in the pantheon of sports coverage (up here, at least).

So, I can't see anyone investing in a college baseball game, despite it being warranted to receive a hell of a lot more coverage and fanfare.

It would be cool if SDS could add a Negro League and a College Franchise option to the game, along side the regular MLB option.

Trying to WATCH college baseball is so hard compared to college football or basketball. I have YouTube TV and I still don’t see hardly any games. You have to get ESPN+ to have a good amount of coverage, but if you want to watch SEC games you need to have SECN+ which you only get by being subscribed to SECN on a cable provider or YouTube TV, and then linking your provider to ESPN+ in order to be able to stream those games. And the SEC is probably the best baseball conference right now so that’s kind of a must if you wanna watch it. So many hoops and things to have to subscribe to just to watch games, and you don’t even get all of them. It’s like they intentionally make the sport so hard to watch (MLB too) but also keep telling us that the sport is dying, and needing to make changes to the game to keep it alive. Change isn’t all bad. But. Maybe make games easier to watch at all levels, and remove blackouts? Just a thought. But I’m no expert.

ESPN shows tons of college baseball/softball games. I just don’t think people have as much tied to watching like they do football and basketball.

I’d be ecstatic to see SDS develop an NFL game. Madden is way overdue for some competition from 2k and other developers with a realistic NFL simulation

I wouldn't personally describe the 2-3 games they show a day on ESPN2 as a 'ton' of games. I think if there were a college baseball version of MLB TV, that would increase the popularity. Having an aggregation of games on one platform, rather than having to seek out multiple to see all the games one might want.
