SDS (The Show) has become just as lazy as EA (Madden-FIFA) when it comes to accuracy and missing throwbacks/throwback alternates. If it's not MUT/FUT (EA) then they don't care. Now with SDS if it's not Daimond Dynasty or the new Story Mode then they don't care. The new Derek Jeter gameplay footage is full of errors. The 2001 Oakland A's are wearing their 2000 black alternates and not the proper Forrest Green moneyball uniforms. Also the 90's Orioles are wearing the current Away uniform and not the proper 90's Away uniform. Also Mark McGwire is seen in the Kingdome wearing the new A's Kelly Green Fauxback. SDS refuses to add missing throwback uniforms and pay attention to detail.

SDS again refuses to add proper missing throwback and throwback alternates to MLB The Show. The new Derek Jeter storyline shows his 2001 ALDS playoff game against Oakland and they are wearing the 2000 Black Alternate and not the Forrest Green set like they did in real life. Also last years trailer had Cal Ripken in the current Baltimore Away uniform as they still won't add the proper 1995 Away uniform.

Donovan Mitchell wearing the 2022 City edition instead of this years set in the 3 point shootout.

So ones that haven't leaked. OKC (Navy ?) Denver (Navy ?) Portland (Black ?) New Orleans (Deep Purple again ?) Orlando (Gray ?) Inspirations this year Minnesota - Land of the 1,000 Lakes Utah - 1996-2004 Fauxback Lakers- Honoring Pau Gasol Clippers- Barbershops of L.A. Golden State - Narrow streets of San Francisco Phoenix - "The Valley" and honoring Hispanic Community of AZ (18/19/20 sets also did that) Sacramento- Unused 75th remix honoring the Rochester Royals Dallas - Tom Landy/Dallas Cowboys inspired Houston- Houston Oilers inspired/City Nickname San Antone- 1968 Fair and old arena The HemisFair Memphis - Honoring their first home in Memphis, the Pyramid Chicago- Honoring Chicago Stadium Cleveland- Theater District inspired Detroit- Honoring Chuck Daly/Bad Boys Indiana- Local Indianapolis Graffiti artist Milwaukee - Updated version of 2022-23 set Toronto- Updated version of 2021-22 set and also honoring Vince Carter Brooklyn- Another local Graffiti Artist] New York- Updated Blue version of last season w/pinstripes to honor the Yankees and Mets Boston- Honoring Bob Cousey Philadelphia- Reading Food Market Miami- "Team Culture" and humidity of Miami Washington- 1997-2011 Wizards Fauxback inspired Atlanta- Mix n Match Fauxback with 80's woodwork combing black with St. Louis Hawks blue Charlotte - another Team Nickname inspired "Buzz City" with nod to Charlotte Coliseum (18/19/20 sets did).

I did see the team uniform selection and they added Iverson's rookie jerseys and the better 90's Clippers set plus "Some" sleeved jerseys. It does suck that the missing sets can only be used in "Eras" and not in other modes. Also missing Utah 1999-2004 Black Alternate Utah 2006-2010 Carolina Blue Alternate Dallas 2003-2004 Silver Alternate Missing Adidas Sleeved Sets Denver White 2015-17 Golden State Black 2015-17 Golden State Slate/Chinese New Year 2015-17 Golden State Yellow 2013-14 Phoenix Dark Gray 2014-17 Houston Red Clutch City 2015-17 Houston Gray 2015-17 New Orleans Purple Mardi Gras 2015-17 Memphis MLK Special 2016-17 Chicago Gray 2015-17 Detroit Navy 2015-17 Brooklyn Gray 2014-17 Orlando Gray 2015-17

1992-93 season. Dallas switches from Green to Blue as primary road uniform. Also the only year they wore blue in Denver against the Nuggets in their final season in the beautiful Rocky Mountain Rainbow set.

Any club getting new logo or home/away uniforms? Would love to see the Cubs bring back red billed caps or get a new road uniform similar to the 1990-1993 road set.

Clippers honoring local barbershops in L.A.? Team nickname? Celtics honoring Bob Cousey with the new city edition.

TECMO NBA on NES had the Nuggets playing with green colored zones/baselines on their court. Obviously when the game came out the following month on SNES all courts looked better and more accurate. Same for the SEGA version that came out in December 1993 with updated logos and rosters (minus rookies) for the 93-94 season.

Sets this season Minnesota Blue honoring the 1,000 lakes of Minneapolis Utah Purple 1996-2004 Fauxback Golden Sate Black honoring the streets of San Francisco Sacramento Blue Fauxback honoring Rochester Royals (75th remix rejected) Lakers Black Honoring Kobe Bryant again or perhaps Pau Gasol Clippers (Leaked Shorts) Navy Lob City Honor Suns Purple again honoring the Valley and the large Hispanic fanbase Dallas Slate Gray (black) honoring the Dallas Cowboys and Tom Landry San Antone White honoring 1968 HemisFair and the old HemisFair Arena Houston White City Nickname also honoring the Houston Oilers/University of Houston Phi Slama Jama Memphis Black honoring the old Pyramid Chicago Black honoring Madison Ave and the old Chicago Stadium Detroit Black (honoring Motown or honoring another GYM) Indiana Black honoring local Indianapolis Graffiti artist Toronto Gold w/Pinstripes fauxback also honoring 5th anniversary of championship title New York Updated Blue late 90's faucback Brooklyn Slate/Black again honoring another Brooklyn Graffiti artist Washington (Black/Navy Shorts) honoring the name change from Bullets to Wizards Heat Black Honoring Team "Culture" and humidity of Miami Ones not seen Atlanta Black w/Light Blue fauxback of 80's uniform with old St. Louis Hawks colors? Orlando Black again honoring the theme parks of Orlando Charlotte Gold version of the "CLT MINT" Philadelphia Navy version of "Brotherly Love" Boston White version of "Bill Russell Tribute" Milwaukee Lime Green honoring 80's warm up jackets Cleveland Yellow fauxback of 80's uniforms in 70's colors Oklahoma City White Honoring National Cowboy Hall of Fame Denver Maroon version of last season's set honoring Denver architecture Portland Red Fauxback honoring Clyde Drexler New Orleans Dark Green Mardi Gras inspired

Mavericks honoring Tom Landry and the Cowboys or 20th Anniversary of the Silver Alternate that still isn't in NBA 2k. Chicago honoring Madison Ave and the old Chicago Stadium.

Yup, I still remember seeing this magazine at my Dentists office during the 1992-93 season.

After seeing those NFL2k5 pics it makes me wish that EA would add several more throwback uniforms to Madden but they've been too lazy since the PS2/Xbox days to add any more. Same with SDS not adding missing Alternate Throwbacks or missing Away Throwback uniforms. Also I believe NFL Xtreme 2 (released in 1999) had the Detroit Lions in Blue pants while NFL Game Day 2000 and Madden 2000 had the Lions back in their traditional Gray pants. The NBA 2k series has done a fine job of adding throwback uniforms but several are still missing: New York 1979-1980 New Jersey 1999-2005 Gray Alternate Philadelphia 1994-1997 Philadelphia 2007-09 Red Alternate Atlanta 1992-1995 Atlanta 1994-1995 Black Alternate Indiana 1980-1986 Home White/Home Yellow/Away Royal Blue Cleveland 1981-1983 Cleveland 2014-2017 Dark Navy Alternate Denver 1976-1983 Denver 1983-1985 (Dark Blue Rainbow set) Utah/New Orleans Jazz 70's Home Yellow Dallas 2003-2004 Silver Alternate New Orleans Hornets 2008-2013 Yellow Alternate Kansas City Kings 1980-1985 Away Script 1974-75 Buffalo Braves (Powder Blue) 1987-1989 Los Angeles Clippers (Away Red)

The Phillies do what the 2019-20 Grizzlies and 2022-23 Utah Jazz did and wear their classic uniforms as their "City" editions.

Hopeful Predictions: Hopefully Marlins embrace the teal and bring back the 1993-2002 Teal Spring Training Tops as a Friday Alternate! Tigers City Connect will be themed around the 1994 Away redesign and the Tiger on the English "D" with the Orange Bill Cap will make a return. Kansas City's Away Blue Alternate will go back to "Royals" script. Diamondbacks have embraced Teal this season as a Team Color accessory and will have a new Teal Alternate as either the Sedona Red or Black will be eliminated. Angels bring back the classic and better looking 1973-1992 California Angels Home Uniform as an official alternate.

No more "Earned" editions. How about "Mid Season Tournament Edition" sets.

Also with other Ken Griffey games Ken Griffey Jr Presents 1994: Reds wear red caps/batting helmets at home instead of the white crown w/red bill worn from 1993-1998. Also Riverfront Stadium has Blue outfield walls instead of green. Cookie cutter/multipurpose stadiums have same outfield wall (either blue or green). The only game to ever have the right design for Mile High Stadium as World Series Baseball on Sega had generic/cookie cutter design. Ken Griffey Jr's Winning Run Again the Reds wear red caps/helmets at home Only the Cubs/Dodgers/Yankees/Orioles/Red Sox/Blue Jays/Tigers/White Sox/Indians/Royals/Rangers/Mariners have their outfield exteriors in the game. All other stadiums use generic design of Veterans Stadium from the batter's POV at home plate. Once the ball is hit out to the outfield all walls are the same only with different colors. Center Field has a tiny wall while Left/Right have giant "Monster" walls.

So here goes another gander at the upcoming City sets. Already shown/leaked Brooklyn multi colored honoring another Brooklyn artist/graffiti artist Utah Purple fauxback Atlanta - White honoring 50th Anniversary of Hank Aaron breaking Babe Ruth's record Charlotte- Gold/Butterscotch version of Mint set Orlando - Gray 90's Fauxback Washington Retains Pink set from 2023 Miami- "Crockett Blue" version of ransom set Boston- White Honoring Bob Cousey Philadelphia- Red version of 2023 New York - White w/Pinstripes 1950's fauxback Toronto- Blue honoring Huskies Milwaukee- Key Lime Green version of 2023 set Cleveland- Navy 90's fauxback Detroit- Black honoring Motown Chicago - Red altered version of 2021 set honoring Chicago's theater district in 1920's Indiana- Red "Cutters" fauxback honoring 45th Anniversary of the film "Breaking Away" Lakers- Carolina Blue version of 75th Anniversary remix honoring Minneapolis Lakers Clippers- Red version of 2023 set honoring the Drew League Phoenix- Orange Version of 2021-2022 sets honoring the Valley/Desert of Arizona Kings- Carolina Blue honoring the move to Sacramento Warriors- White Version of 2023 set San Antone retains 2023 set Dallas- Green version of 2023 set Houston -Red honoring 30th Anniversary of 1994 Championship club New Orleans -Yellow version of 2023 set Memphis- Yellow "Grind City" nickname set Portland- Teal version of 2023 set Minnesota -Ice Blue honoring the 1,000 lakes Denver- Claret version of 2023 set Oklahoma City- Black honoring Oklahoma's famous Country & Western singers

I can see the Nuggets doing a burgundy or navy version of this year's city set next season. They do tend to wear burgundy accessories with this year's city "white" and regular association "white". So which clubs will retain this year's city set for next season? Bullets...Wizards Pink and Spurs San Antone Turquoise perhaps..

This was the 1991-92 season which was the last year for the Suns at the Memorial Coliseum and final season in the original Suns look while Portland updated their set for the 1991-92 campaign.

So the "Earned" will be replaced by "Tournament Editions" ??? Makes me think of NBA Jam Tournament Edition and Street Fighter II Tournament Edition but I digress.

First Thunder City edition was based on Garth Brooks' "The Thunder Rolls" not designed by Brooks. My bad.

Troy Aikman Football for SNES/Sega has the Patriots in red jerseys w/Silver Pants and Helmets for home games. Always found that interesting.

I always enjoy guessing what the new city editions will be. As a hardcore baseball uniform traditionalist, I do tend to be more open minded on the NBA City editions. Hopefully the NBA will bring back the "Earned" edition in 2024. So for new "Statements".... OKC- Navy Indiana- Yellow Charlotte- Purple New Orleans- Red "City" sets Utah - Purple already leaked. A fauxback theme Brooklyn- Black, just leaked designed by lifelong Nets fan and New Jersey Native KAWS. Brooklyn again honoring local artists. Now the rest of the "City" sets Boston- Parquet Colored honoring Boston Garden and Bob Cousey Philadelphia- Navy version of 2022-23 set New York- White Pinstripes honoring the 1980's Toronto- Blue honoring the Huskies Milwaukee- Lime & Kelly Green honoring the 1980's Indiana- Yellow version of 2017-18 and 2019-20 set honoring the Indy 500 Detroit- Black honoring the Bad Boys era Cleveland -Navy another 90's mashup with 2010's colors Chicago- Carolina Blue Fauxback based on 90's alternate and 80's away lettering Miami- Crockett Blue version of the Ransom used in 2021-22 and 2022-23 Orlando- Gray 90's Fauxback Atlanta- White w/Blue honoring 50th Anniversary of Hank Aaron breaking Babe Ruth's record Charlotte- Gold/Butterscotch version of 2020-21 & 2022-23 set honoring first US Mint Washington- Black honoring Joe Biden and wanting NBA fans to reelect him for 2024 Dallas- Green version of 2022-23 set honoring Reunion Arena San Antone- Will retain 2022-23 set Houston- Red version of the 75th Anniversary set used in 2021-2023 New Orleans- Dark Green version of 2022-23 set honoring Mardigras Memphis-Gold Team nicknamed "Grind City" Golden State -White version of 2022-23 set honoring feminism in the Bay Area Sacramento- Blue & Red Mashup fauxback of 90's Alternate Lakers- Carolina Blue honoring George Mikan Clippers- Red honoring Chris Paul-Blake Griffin era while still throwing shade at Lakers Phoenix- Black honoring Route 66 Portland- Teal version of 2022-23 set honoring the carpet at the Portland airport Minnesota-White w/Purple Pinstripes honoring the Vikings, Twins, and Hamm's Beer Denver- Red version of 2022-23 set honoring Denver's architecture OKC- Silver/Gray designed by OKC Native and Thunder fan Vince Gill similar to 2017-18 set designed by Garth Brooks

Was hoping they would break out those awesome 1993-2002 Teal BP jerseys or do a fauxback version in Teal. Sadly SDS doesn't add classic BP/Spring Training jerseys in MLB The Show.
