    Picture profile of players in game

    Why do they have pictures of the players in their old uniforms?? Is it difficult to implement a way for them to change their baseball cap so it reflects the current team they are playing with?

    Wish there was a way to update this through a roster update.

    It just looks funny seeing Nick Johnson wearing his Washington Nationals cap on the Yankees lineup.

    yeah I noticed this as well.

    Nate McLouth still had a Pirates hat on. WTF? that's inexcusable.

      They could have changed them if they wanted too, but they obviously didn't.

        I know I've been pretty vocal about this issue, but it bothers the heck out of me, too. The truth is, it's not a big deal to a lot of people, but for a game that looks so beautiful from a presentation standpoint, you would think that 2K would get the players in the right hats.

        I don't know why they don't... Laziness? They have the MLB License, and sites like ESPN.com and MLB.com have the updated photos right after an acquisition is made, so I don't see how 2K can have profile photos that are one or two years old.

          If they have them on the right team, than they could have just put the team hat on them.

            Is it really that important? Are you not going to makes trades or sign free agents in a franchise just because the player won't have your teams cap on in the picture.

                I figured that it wouldn't be too long until a response like this came along.

                  Yah, I can't stand when people respond by criticizing others just because they respectfully point out an obvious error that they would like to see fixed in the game. That's why I rarely give opinions anymore about fixes I'd like to see because you can't do it without some self-righteous poster jumping on you for it.

                    Noticed in one of the videos that they still have Victor Martinez in a Cleveland hat when he was traded to Boston last August. Sorry, but that's pretty bad.

                      And you would think there is someone responsible for the player portraits who goes through each player on all the teams to make sure everything is accurate. And given what you described about the Vmart portrait, I think we can assume this is at least partially due to laziness.

                        Yeah, it's not like the people pointing this out are saying, "Wow, this game sucks, they can't even get the players in the right hats! I'm not buying this game."

                        Mostly, it's just people who care about the little details and would like to see 2K spend some time on them. There's nothing at all wrong with wanting the game to be pretty current with things like this. I mean really, some of these photos are a year old and some even two; you would just think with the MLB License at their disposal, they could get it right.

                        I'd never tell someone that a concern or complaint that they had a game didn't matter or anything like that... Everyone is different and they place value on various parts of the game. It doesn't make their concern or complaint less valid.

                          is it something that can be fixed by a patch or an update?

                            I really doubt it.
