Why is barry bonds never in videogames?

Question

y is barry bonds never in any of the 2k baseball games well atleast in o7 and 08

Answer 1

Couldn't fit his dome, son!

Putting his head in the game would've taken up to much memory space.

Answer 2

Barry Bonds doesn't allow Sony Entertainment to put him in video games.  

Answer 3

To many steroids to fit on the screen.

He never agreed to the players agreement contract allowing his name to be used, he is curently the ONLY guy to do so.

Answer 4

Michael, that was going to be my answer too!

And yeah, the first guy is right.

Answer 5

He figured he could make more money by marketing himself without the help of the MLBPA.

Answer 6

Back in 2005, he decided to market his own likeness as well as his own memorabilia in conjunction with the SF Giants.  By doing so, he removed himself from MLB Players Marketing which ended his likeness in videogames, the MLB.com store and baseball trading cards.  I think he had an idea that with his breaking of Henry Aaron's record, maybe he would be better off handling his own memorabilia sales.

He went back to Topps Trading Cards, but never had his player likeness in videogames for 2K.  

Answer 7

his head wont fit on your tv screen.

the first guy has the correct answer

Answer 8

He doesn't want to. He doesn't give the game makers his consent to use his name in the game so they can't use it or else they will be sued

Answer 9

He is not in the blanket licensing agreement with the Players Union. Same was for Roger Clemens at the end there.  So if people want to use their names and likeness, they have to shell out more money. Certain caliber athletes get that.
