Portraits with updating hats

Re: Portraits with updating hats

It's a shame that they'll probably patch it.


Quick, find Sammy Sosa.

Sosa has already been found. Check the roster forum or do it yourself, it's not that hard.

BTW, if you try to make Sosa white, it won't work. He head is already set to black.

Re: Portraits with updating hats

cool little find. but why would you want to loose every attribute, player baseball card, service time, player specific cut scene, and commentary just so you can have the right hat LOL? let alone take the time to edit all these players. pass.

You probably wouldn't...

When I first found this, I was just looking at the portraits, I hadn't tested it in-game yet, so I didn't know what effect it would have on the commentary. But I agree that it's not something I would want to do.

However, maybe if you have a player who played a game or two last year but still has less than one year's service time, say he gets traded before opening day, you could use this "trick."

Also, if they release a patch, I wonder if any edits you've done before that would remain.

I personally don't think they will.

This might be their "workaround" for us to get the proper player hats people wanted, and to show us the generated faces look fantastic, and just as good as the actual MLB portraits.

This is fantastic news.

And for the sake of argument, if it is a "bug" (which I doubt), it is one of the coolest bugs ever!

Re: Portraits with updating hats

That's pretty cool and definitely helps in cases where guys who are still playing but aren't in the game but have been in previous installments.

They definitely should switch to portraits for next year - this way the hats will always change and we wouldn't lose service time or any of that. It's a cool easter egg this year but it can turn to a full-on great addition starting next year.

i'm betting they'll fix it.

right now the Player Vault is more or less broken because any player you download will have Jeter's head (unless they have the same name as a previously existing player) as soon as you add audio for the player's name

the Player Vault was one of the big features for this year, I don't see how they can just leave it like this, however I do like this "easter egg" as well... :P

I can see them fixing the Jeter head. Since it is basically a "default" placeholder head. Early builds looked funny seeing Jeter pitching to Jeter. And Jeter in all shades of skin color.

But recreating actual MLB players, this would be a "feature" to leave in there. And I think intended. Just the Jeter placeholder is not.

We will see.

What happens if you already have the audio name chosen?....
I exported a Parker yesterday...with no audio...imported him...changed his name to Dave Parker...he stayed as is..(I think Parker was a classic player in last year, right?)

Not only that, but maybe a work around since we lost classic players.

If we could get the work around for retired jerseys, we would be golden (for classic roster guys anyway)

In this case, add the audio before you upload. If you upload as a test, and find Jeter's head, delete it, and upload with the audio.

I created Cap Anson (I picked him because I knew he wouldn't be on there), and did his face, and audio (and everything else), and he downloads with the face I created, not Jeter's

He's in the vault if you wanna check it out. User name emath2432

I don't remember Parker being one (though I suppose I could be wrong).

Re: Portraits with updating hats

Does this allow you to edit facial hair for a created player?

For example, if you create Brian Wilson and import him, can you "shave" him?

In spite of how cool this is, I would lament losing player-specific commentary and cutscenes. I prefer them to the wrong hats on the portraits.

I support keeping the rendered portraits for future games, though!

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.

unfortunately no...

however, if you give the player glasses, eye black or a turtleneck, it will be reflected in the portrait
