Re: how to make generic rookies unique

im happy for the response i got for this thread didnt think so many people would be into this. im only 5'9 140 pounds but from the neck up i do look like i could be a nfl qb or a nfl receiver cb,safety,kicker or punter so i would definitly send in a photo.
be nice to hear from ea on this i dont think ive ever had one person for ea reply to any madden thread ive made lol.

Eyes lips nose and such were shifted around, made larger, smaller, closer, wider, etc so that there were differences and those faces were Skinned onto a blank standard model. It made things look loess terrible than "No Photo"
the problem with nfl2k5s rookie faces were eventually i would have maybe 5 players on the team with the same face just slightly different skin tones.
however one other way i see how madden could do it is take nfl players eyes,noses,mouths,ears,chins,faces. and have some system that randomly takes a nose,chin,eyes,etc. and puts them together on a face this way you could have a play with fitzgerald eyes and lts nose etc.

Maybe if it were email only and such?

P.S. I do understand that you ment email, but I can imagine people wanting to seend them in the Mail as well
i dont think the legal thing would be a problem just a extra page that says "legal legal legal if you accept these terms sign your name"
