Portraits with updating hats

[nmycon]

I've just made a significant "discovery"

Create a player with a name in the game's database (any player in the game), export them (dont necessarily have to upload them), when you load the created player in the game, they will have the head of the real player

for example, i created derek jeter, left the face as default with hair...

loaded into the game, he has Jeter's head! plus his player's portrait looks just like jeter and if you trade him, the hat changes! i'll post some screens

also, this DOES NOT erase career stats!

So you can have a Derek Jeter at SS and a Jeter in the outfield, too! It's a win-win for Brian Cashman and Yankees management!

Does this work for other players?
I know the "Jeter head" phenomenon....but does doing this for other real players work?

damn... jeter's my favourite player, so he was the first that came to my mind to try it for...

I can confirm that this is not a result of the "Jeter Head Phenomenon"

Worked with Big Pappi!



now I wonder how Manny and Lincecum would look with their hair :P

LETS SEE!

Knight we have a big thread going on in the roster section about players it is working for. I'm filling out my Padres NRI and 40 man list. I know in your set you like to have the AAA teams accurate. Guys like Geoff Geary, Bobby Kielty, Jordan Schafer Matt Antonelli etc, who have been removed from this years game but have appeared in previous versions of the game work with their real faces and player models.

This is pertaining to players who are IN this years game though. I did see your thread, and thats what gave me the idea to try it with existing players.

So you can have perfectly accurate 2011 rosters and have players like Mike Napoli (who has a Jays cap in game, despite never playing a game in a jays uniform) with the correct hat.

Also, its only the name that matters, not the audio. So you can have Lincecum called "Timmy Lincecum"

The only drawback is there seems to be no player specific commentary (although last years stats ARE still there), when Manny comes up it will be:

"And stepping up is Manny [PAUSE] Ramirez"

and when Manny's on deck, you wont hear "And you don't wanna walk this guy when you-know-who's on deck"
