Because outside San Francisco very few like him, and most would not play this game with him in it.

from wikipedia:
Bonds withdrew from the MLB Players Association's (MLBPA) licensing agreement because he felt independent marketing deals would be more lucrative for him. If Bonds had not withdrawn, his name and likeness would be deemed usable in any merchandise licensed by the MLBPA. In order to use his name or likeness, a company must deal directly with Bonds. For this reason he does not appear in some baseball video games, forcing game-makers to create generic athletes to replace him. For example, Barry Bonds is replaced by "Jon Dowd" in MVP Baseball 2005, "Wes Mailman" in All-Star Baseball 2005, "Joe Young" in MLB 2K7, "Dean Gibeau" in All-Star Baseball 2006 and "Reggie Stocker" in MLB 07: The Show.
Quite an awesome guy, dont you think? No wonder people love him so much.

Bonds IS a member of the MLBPA. Everyone who got this wrong got a thumbsie-downsie.
Bonds has, for several years, opted out of participating in the group licensing agreement that the MLBPA offers to its members, whereby licensors can use their names and likenesses. To include Bonds, the licensor would have to negotiate directly with Bonds or his representatives.
That's all. No big conspiracy, no infantile anti-steroid-related policy. He simply doesn't sign off on it through the union.
The union of which he IS a member.

Because Bonds does not give permission to use his likeness in any video games. It has nothing to do with who does or does not like him.

Because his head won't fit on the box, and there is no way to duplicate HGH performance on a video game!

I wish it was because of steroids, but its because Bonds won't give his rights to be portrayed in it.
I thought he always was in the game to be honest.
