Portraits with updating hats

Re: Portraits with updating hats

It's worth noting that this exploit strictly works for the face. Everything else must be done on your own (attributes, appearance, etc.) I tested this with Willie Randolph and wound up with Willie's head on the default white guy's body. It was hilarious.

I also made Steve Trachsel and his portrait was just a dark shadowy figure. Took him into the game and sure enough it was him.

Knight why are you so surprised about this - we asked for it at Community Day!

Re: Portraits with updating hats

The rendered faces are pretty cool, I ended up playing around with it for a while last night. I remember NBA 2k series had or still have players face rendered so whenever they get traded.. wearing the current uniforms.. I love it. So now you can move the player wherever and to the team you can't even imagine, so you can actually imagine a bit with the game and rendered pictures lol. So move Mariano Rivera to the Sox lol.

I went through the Jays system last night and every player who played at least a game in the majors are in, even Jason Lane without his goatee.. looked so weird! lol. I would rather have that over wasting hours making the faces.

this has been noted several times already, it's also not a huge deal because there are no custom body shapes anyways. If you create a black player thats the same height/weight as Sabathia (and set it to "Fat"), his body will look exactly the same.

This is actually an advantage because occasionally there are some players that appear too fat/skinny or too tall/short

I just tried it with Bartolo Colon & Mark Prior to have them on the Yankees & it worked..though it shows their career stats at 0 for everything, guess b/c they didn't play last year or in Prior's case, the last like 6 years, lol...least though it's their face & it's an awesome feature..& did same with Jordan Schafer

Re: Portraits with updating hats

Is it possible to replace a manager? I created Clint Hurdle and would love to be able to put him in.

I'm 100% with you on that

Definitely true! One problem is I can never decide between bulk or normal 'cause they look basically the same.. just slightly bigger chest for bulk players.. but when you look through players, it's hard to tell what is what lol.

you take over the career stats of the player you replace. So if you replace an SCEA created minor leaguer, all stats will be 0.

Re: Portraits with updating hats

I just thought of something while doing the whole Orioles team (yes I did get them all into rendering portraits).. there is one problem.. those who has a hidden delivery/stance will lose them. I know Frasor has a really good delivery, so I wouldn't want to lose that. Looks like I'm stuck with the real pictures. Looks like I will be just focusing on the missing players with the new feature.

Re: Portraits with updating hats

This may be way out in left field, (no pun intended), but Im wondering if this is all possible because SCEA lost the rights to the HOF players.

Maybe they figured if THEY cant add the players legally, they will make it so WE can add them ourselves and SCEA has nothing to do with it.???????

possibly, but this is also causing created players with names that don't match any legends or existing players to have Derek Jeter's head...

While the ability to use legends and rendered headshots and whatnot is awesome, Jeter's head is getting annoying :P

Re: Portraits with updating hats

Ok.. Looks like re importing the current Majors in the game is no go. Every one of them shows up as a rookie.. so yeah.. not gonna go with that. Gotta deal with the silly free agents pic and wrong team hats. IT was a fun experiment though. Like i said a couple posts above.. I'm sticking with adding those missing players that are playing this year somewhere.

But one thing I am wondering is as they will show up as rookies.. will they still be in contending for rookies of the year eventhough they got career stats still. Just thought of that, wish I could have tested it but closed the roster and lost it.. it was just a test roster really. lol

OK so if I understand this correctly, not only do you have to spell the players name correctly, but you also have to select a player who at one time was in the MLBTS franchise? Either a current player or a HOF Legends player.
Correct?

Here is the real million dollar question......

Does anyone have a complete list of all the players that have been in the MLBTS Franchise that are no longer in the game?

right on!

I believe they're compiling a list of classic players in the Rosters Forum. In terms of more recent players, some players who were free agents but then retired after 2006 are in the game, but almost all players who were on a team's roster for Opening Day in 2007 should be in the game.

Re: Portraits with updating hats

Does this only happen to players that are put through the Player Vault?

I'm seeing that guys are having trouble with any created player having Jeter head...
I haven't seen any yet through exporting/importing....but I'm not using the Player Vault.

Thanks.
