It s a good idea and I'd be in favor of it if done right.
MVP 05 had real pics for headshots except for some reason, AJ Burnett on the Blue Jays had a generated head shot. Looked pretty good and I know what you mean when its the middle of the inning and they show the graphic where the next 3 guys in the order are up and one or two of them are generated faces, looks weird.
Maybe someone else knows what Im talking about with Burnett. I played xbox back then.

Ha, actually I thought it might come off a little creepy after I posted it. What I was getting at is that I thought it sounded like you were hinting it might be in the game this year...but that doesn't look to be the case.

In an ideal world, it would be great to have real faces and then, when a player switches team, or say when a free agent is signed by a given team, we would be able to fit his portrait with the proper cap. As far as fake players are concerned, of course we have good old Knight to take care of business! lol. So yes, I'm all for it. SCEA people always deliver. So I'm sure some devs will find a solution and the game will be even more realistic.
P.-S. It kind of looks odd when one of the game's beautiful scoreboards show say Johnny Deamon's picture fitted with a FA cap or his previous team cap. It just does'nt look right.

I like the idea Knight....I've never been too hung up on needing real pictures for the players. I'm actually kinda curious just how close SCEA could get them to the real thing, given sufficient dev time to actually do all those faces in CG.

Option would be good, of course.

[JDD]

Yeah, if it were an option that I could turn on or off, I'm all in favor of doing that. It is a little jarring for me seeing a player on, say, the Angels, wearing a blue Royals hat (Callaspo last year). And SCEA does such a great job with the player faces that I think it wouldn't look too bad. I say they should seriously consider this for next year.

As an option only i dont see the harm in it for those that like it, but i prefer real faces to keep a more realistic TV broadcast feel to me, so as long as its only ever put in as an option and not at the cost of real faces i see no problems.

[Skyboxer]

To bad you couldn't Just remove the caps....
I like the real faces but I also admit having the wrong caps on is a little "distracting"...
