So do we have a list of what 'retired' players we can use that have their actual faces IN game?

I know i saw pedro, and piazza who else?

I dont know if there is a list yet, I would like to see one if there is, but from what I understand, it is every player that has been in MLBTS since 2005.

Re: Portraits with updating hats

in 12 they should just make the players hats change on the portrait when they change teams, this can be pretty easily done using the green hat system

Re: Portraits with updating hats

I hope they give us the option eventually to just use the generated faces. I think using real pictures detracts from the suspension of disbelief in a franchise.
I think it was earlier versions of Live that used nothing but generated faces, once it changed to player pictures I felt it really took away from my immersion in my franchise.
If you are only playing a single season then the real pictures are great. However; if you are doing a franchise, then to me nothing sticks out more than seeing real pictures next to generated faces.

If it were "pretty easy" someone would have done it by now.

That would look hideously ugly on some players because not all of those player photos are taken at the exact same angle and zoom (or even close). It's definitely not as easy it would seem.

After seeing some of the CG pics earlier in this thread I'm almost in favor of scrapping the actual photos and using the renders - some of those look amazing and it would nip this problem completely in the bud. JMO.

Re: Portraits with updating hats

Just stumbled upon something. Not all players can have their rendering photos as some of them got long names, thanks to the limit of characters for the names. That plus names like De Los Santos.. you gotta manually space them again like the previous versions before '10. I miss last year's where u can just type them up and it will automatically space as soon as there's a cap letter ahead.

Oh yeah... the limit of not using the PS3 keypad this year sucks! It was so much easier using the keypad inputting all the minors names in the previous years. Pain in the butt using the stick to pick the letters you want.

EDIT: Ok my mistake.. the name automatically spacing does still exist, but only under edit players not CAP

Re: Portraits with updating hats

Sorry to sound like an idiot, but I am having trouble loading players into the game....in other words, how exactly do I do it?

Re: Portraits with updating hats

Looks like we might get pretty much all players with rendering pictures except for 2 from what I have gone through. Rowland-Smith and Mark Grudzielnak (sp?) since both of their last name are too long. Not that Grudz matters since he has retired so basically just one. Just thought I'd give those who are doing it a heads up.

Re: Portraits with updating hats

How do you import a player? I created one with a real players name and exported him, but I can't load him back into the game to replace a player. Do I have to upload him to SPortsconnect and then import him that way? Thanks.

Re: Portraits with updating hats

Can't get it to work.

I made a guy called Jose Bautista and exported him but when I go to view him, he looks like the default player model and not like Bautista does.

Re: Portraits with updating hats

I tried this with Jon Lester to get him his real height since he is wrong in the default rosters, and got the Jeter face.

Re: Portraits with updating hats

Doing exactly what you are all doin, but they look like the default CAP.

Re: Portraits with updating hats

Can't get this to work .....the face stays the default player. Can someone break this down please ?

Re: Portraits with updating hats

The rookie of the year thing isn't too big of a deal. Only would be an issue the first season. Career stats are the question.

I still think I would use a all rendered version if available.

Re: Portraits with updating hats

it would screw up franchise in general because there would be no free agency the first 7 years
