MLB 15 The Show Screenshots (High Resolution)

Re: MLB 15 The Show Screenshots (High Resolution)

If I use my roster with the 14 created tanaka, will I get the real face scan tanaka from 15 instead?

If it's the roster from your year-to-year save files yes. There isn't a mechanism to transfer roster files from MLB 14 to 15.

I stand corrected.

That is amazing!

I'm lost. So you're saying M. Tanaka who was added through a roster update in 14 will have an actual scan if we use the year to year save? If so what happens to the created version? We won't see 2 Tanaka's in the file right?

That's how I'm understanding it. And I'd have to imagine SDS's engineers thought of that dilemma. They'd probably have it coded so the real face scan overwrites the CG face.

That's how I'm understanding it.

But how is the file going to recognize it's Tanaka though? Do we need to use the exact player file SCEA used when they added Tanaka? (The player model they added through the roster update)

They could program it to save over a given player's name but that would be really tricky for 2+ guys with the same name (Chris Young, ahem). I am sure that each SCEA player has a unique identifier so I am also not sure how the game would pick up CAP Tanaka and replace him with SCEA Tanaka. That I don't understand it doesn't mean it can't happen though.

Yeah I'm just confused. I'm curious how it's going to work. What if the Tanaka I'm using was created and the SCEA version wasn't the base for him? How would the file identify that it's Tanaka? What if I end up with 2 Tanaka's in my file because of it?

I'm thinking each individual player has their own digital thumbprint in game, so the game knows it's them (even if they're traded or whatever)... I'd have to say that SCEA's engineers would code the game to have the game overwrite SCEA's face over the CG face for that particular digital thumbprint. (Once a player is created, it creates a digital thumbprint the game can read... it becomes part of the roster file and once the SCEA face is introduced, it becomes part of the created file). If that makes sense. (My programming skills are only VERY basic, and understanding of it only slightly better.)

That makes sense if it does work that way I guess.

Sounds simple enough, but the problem is the digital thumbprint. If you are bored one day and create 17 Masahiro Tanaka CAPs, then transfer your save to '15, how does the game know which one of the 17 Tanakas to replace? It might not recognize the thumbprint of a CAP for that reason.

Re: MLB 15 The Show Screenshots (High Resolution)

I think what we need is to have Russell or a roster dev through Russell explain how that happens and lay down the law.

I understand your problem, but to quote the Rock.. Why in the Blue Hell would you create 17 different entries of the same dude? LOL (However.... I Imagine the game would create them if you did with it's entry name it uses for the thumbprint then like name.1, name.2 or name_1, name _2. And the game would probably overwrite the original file automatically. (The files with the .1 or _1 wouldn't be touched)
