Explain to me why the following players don't face scans for 17?

[berenjena]

Todd Frazier - this one is blowing my mind. Has been in the league since 2011. I don't understand it. 2011?! Doesn't give me much hope for the guys coming up.

José Abreu - in the league for 3 years now. Decently known name and best hitter of the White Sox

Khris Davis - Random generic face

Anthony Rendón - 3-4 years in the league as well, still has a generic ugly face.

Trout - Can't tell but I don't think his likeness overall matches up to his status as the best player. Stance, Body, Face are all a bit off.

How do players like Judge, Swanson, Orlando Arcia have such amazing faces with less than a full season but Frazier and Abreu don't? 4+ spring trainings to make it happen... is it the players fault?

Let me tell you that 99% of the face scans are superb, much better than even 2K.

But I just want a simple explanation as for why Todd Frazier still has a generic white face when he debuted in 2011.

Players have to give their consent to have their face scanned. They aren't obligated to do it.

Players have to consent to having their faces scanned, no consent- no scan! Period!

It's up to the players to get a face scan. If a player doesn't have a face scan in the game then it's most likely due to the fact the player doesn't want it.

Thank You guys!

Now my annoyance is directed to the players I just mentioned.

Come the heck on Frazier, Abreu, Rendon?

Why would you guys say no?

Do they have generic faces?

If so, couldn't they use faces from an early game? (If they were scanned of course)

I have often wondered why some may not consent to a face scan. First of all you will be in a video game which is just cool and secondly you are going to be in the game one way or other so why not make it look as much like you as possible?

Although I understand that players don't get face scans, you have to wonder why SCEA doesn't have their artists make better-than-generic faces for guys without scans, or even just make them editable kind like players that are added to the game during the season so that one of our great CAP makers can make them better. This could be impossible or way more complex than meets the eye, but just my two cents

The character team is 8 people there are 30 teams in the leagues. Not only do they have to convert the face scan into a file that the game can use they have uniform corrections to deal with and they have to build all the equipment. It's simple math.

Thanks for the response, I get it and the character team does a great job most of the time considering their resources and size

Perhaps to them, it's not cool or they're not a fan of video games? Perhaps their parents convinced them, at a very young age, that video games are the devil and makes people want to commit random acts of violence, who knows?

I've always considered it selfish that the players don't agree to this. To me there's no other reason why they'd say no.

Ehh if I was an Mlb player, I'd say no too. Having my face in a game others play would be creepy.

Some may be protesting the fact that Sony San Diego can go through the players union to use their likeness and not them, individually. I'm sure there are some that would like to be compensated for their likeness, too.

You guys should hire a 9th person for next year; their sole responsibility could be to tidy up the handful of unscanned players. I'd volunteer to do that!

For everyone else going on about face scans...face scans are irrelevant. All you need is one frontal photo and one side photo and you're up and running as far as video game face design software seems to go. Really, only the frontal photo is absolutely necessary. Heck, I used a photo of myself to create myself in Fifa several years back when they were doing the Be-a-Pro mode thing. It looked pretty darned good, and that was with the bare bones, user-controlled application they had running on their website. With the more in-depth control available to a proper video game design studio, it would've looked even better.
