Any chance of a player likeness update?

I know players change their looks often but some have had the same look for years, yet to be replicated in-game.

I understand my Phillies suck, but when I'm playing a bunch of games and the players don't look like their counterparts, it's kind of silly.

Maikel Franco has had dreads for years, so has Freddie Galvis, Odubel has had them since early last year.

Aaron Nola is sporting a new look, that one I don't expect since it's newer.

I feel like there was a thread last year by the devs about this that I posted in, but I couldn't find it.

As a Phillies fan I felt the same way. Hair and tattoos need to be updated and added to players next game. It sucks seeing the players you names look nothing how they actually do in real life

That's on the players to get a new scan. Scans are done in spring training, so any from ST of this year will be in The Show '18. It's not SDS fault

They have to get rescanned for new hair? That seems unfortunate. I'm guessing the Phillies are so low on the list, Franco might retire before they give him dreads.

IIRC there isn't any dreads in the game anymore! Idk why they didn't put it in there along with the other ones. Maybe they didn't have time?

Unless they are neck tattoos from a face scan, we will never see tattoos in the game.

Hanley Ramirez still has dreads. Ramone said that they wanted to get dreads in this year but weren't able to. I would bet they will be in next year.

I feel stupid, I could have sworn there were dreads in the game.

Hopefully we can get them next year, and I would take generic tattoos too. I know most people would be against that, but Vinny Velazquez has a sleeve on one arm, I'd be fine with a generic tat sleeve.

I know the issue with tattoos is you have to get consent from the artist.
