They must play in an official MLB game before they become members of the MLBPA. Game developers have been trying for years to get the MLBPA to allow minor league players into games, but the MLBPA has always refused those requests.

The MLBPA/minor league/2K thing that has gone on for years

Yeah but its not something that you can blame on 2K. EA had the same issues before.

Im sure it has something to do with licensing agreements and that they dont want to pay those minors players for being in the game.

not really, it's because the MLBPA does not represent minor league players, The minor league does not have a players union. A game company would have to have a contract with every single athlete and that is not going to happen from any developer.
