What happened to the updated player photos?

[Ed21]

Just a question about the updated mugshots.

I absolutely loved this when I realised players that were traded mid season would have their mugshots updated. I saw it with Ramon Hernandez for the Dodgers, Vernon Wells for the Yankees and Roy Oswalt had a Rockies hat on after they signed him.

However it seems to have stopped? Eric Young Jr. has been an integral part of the Mets in the past month or so but he still has a cyber face?

I know for some people it's not a huge thing, but for me it is, and I want my starting CF'er to have a mugshot.

Does anyone know why this feature has stopped? I've downloaded the most recent roster file and used The Show Live to make sure they're up to date, but still nothing?

Any reason why? Maybe Russell could chime in?

Best reason I could think of is trade deadline is coming up, they could be waiting till after to update most of the players at once.

I think Oswalt is last one I noticed who was updated. I keep hoping each week they'll get updated.

I recall having mine updated for a while and then they went away again. Not sure what happened.

AJ Griffin still doesn't have a picture. He has been a SP for Oakland since last season.

I wish I could just leave the default faces the same. Im a couple years into my franchise and almost everybody has cyber face. Its kind of annoying

Haha I am an NHL gamer and what is this.

I hope and plead and kick and scream at the devs on the EA forums to scan more player faces into their game, meanwhile a guy who plays The Show asks for less.

Not taking a stab at you or anyone else haha, just funny to look at different communities.

Just got the game today, (finally) and one of the first things i noticed when looking through rosters that some big named players dont have mugshots, and even some lesser players from last years game who had mugshots dont this year. I also know that when moving players to their old team the mugshot updatesIm sure this is well documented and disscussed, but im wondering if anything has been done to "fix" this? Or if there are any rosters or tricks to getting past this.

If you download The Show Live roster then some of the late offseason acquisitions will be updated with new mugshots, such as Michael Bourn, Kelly Johnson, Marlon Byrd and a few early season trades like Vernon Wells to the Yankees.

It seems Sony have stopped updating now though. I'm hoping they'll be updated soon since the trade deadline has just passed.

Has anyone ever addressed the photos not being updated? would love to at least hear a yes we will or no we wont. By the way I love the updated photos

The updated faces have all stopped displaying in my franchise, I don't understand why.

I still think the cyberfaces was a horrible idea from the beginning. I don't care if a guy's mugshot has a former team's hat, at least it's a real photo. Better than looking like a generic created player.

Im just the opposite. I like the cyber faces because they look like the game.
Having a real photo in a cyber game just sticks out like a sore thumb to me.
