Headshots.

[Gagnon39]

I may be imagining things but I could swear in the past players that have real portraits for their headshots change over to in-game faces (with their team's new hat) once traded or acquired by another team.

However, I just traded for Aroldis Chapman in my Cubs franchise and he still has his Yankees portrait for his headshot. I'm using 30-team control and had to turn the Yankees under my control to make the trade work. I don't know why or if that would have an effect on it but I'd really like the "virtual" Chapman with the Cubs hat on as opposed to the real photo with the Yankees cap. Any idea how to change this or make it work?

I have had this happen once or twice in the past before and what I did that seemed to work was sending the player to A. Then, I'd exit out of the roster control screen and reopen it and then call the player back up and their portrait would be gone.

All of mine have changed over unless the player has an older picture with that team. Have you simmed to the next day yet? I noticed that the picture stays the same until you go to the next day.

I think the headshot thing is kinda random luck as to if it works or not.
