I hear you. Who is replacing Edwin Encarncion for the Jays this year? Glad it have him on my Tribe this year. Josh Donaldson is a favorite of mine (war eagle). I'm ready for the show 17.

Agreed.

I know that Danny Duffy has been a generic face for years (maybe forever?). Seeing as how he'll likely be the #1 started for the Royals this year, I'm really hoping they got a face scan of him for '17.

The generics do look WAY better this year from what we've seen. I don't know if I'd go as far as to say on par with the scanned faces yet, but they are already a significant upgrade from '16 - and if Russell says they're still not done adjusting them, maybe they'll turn out even better when they go gold. I do fully expect the talented CAP makers here at OS to be able get on par with the scanned faces though - amazing talent some of you guys have.

There's no replacing what Edwin could do but I think Morales will do a good job and with JD, Bautista and Tulo the core of the team is still there

Hopefully some of the players who never had face scans got improved because Derek Dietrich has never had a face scan and his face has never even resembled Dietrich he clearly has Jacob Turners face. Also Brad Hand has never had a face scan and he has always looked like some deformed alien. If Mike Trout has never had a face scan but we can still tell it's Mike Trout I'm sure they can improve some of the other players without face scans.

CD guys brought it up a few years back (Ramone has also liked many posts pertaining to the subject). He doesn't have a scan the character artists have tried to do the best they can with his face, but you can tell it's not a scan. SCEA has also asked him to do some mo cap stuff a while back he declined. Maybe I shouldn't have said refused and should have used declined to participate. Like I've said before it's not mandatory for players to get their face scanned when SCEA shows up to do them. Who knows maybe he has one now, but in previous versions that isn't the case. Like Cory said it's not uncommon for a player to not want their likeness in a videogame or anything for that matter. I'm not going to argue or get into a back and forth discussion I'm just letting some people know what I know from what we've been told over the years.

That's very strange that Mile Trout wouldn't want to be part of one of the best MLB games currently around.

What I find even stranger is that he's the cover boy for a mobile MLB game and they used his likeness, can't tell if of was a face scan or if they just took a photo of him and put it in the in-game model. Regardless its just very strange that he doesn't want anything to do with The Show.
