And Season mode also I would think.

I barely see them, but they are there.

Since Russell will never be able to track down half the stuff with the Unis I was wondering is somebody going to bring that feedback thread to community day?

I mean, basically, 3/4 of people's problems with Unis are IN THAT thread and it would make sense to me for the guys at CD to sit down and go through the thread with any devs willing to help to correct mistakes. I recall some pretty big Twins ones as well as Toronto and a couple others.

Also, Toronto grass looks quite a lot better to my eyes.

Yes, it is "real-time", if you will. If you make moves during your season, franchise, RttS, etc., then the pictures update accordingly. Basically, the CPU knows each players "default" team. Kind of how sounds of the show knows what sounds are set on the front end rosters.

I'm wondering that too. If the player portrait thing is only for franchise/rtts mode or will it apply to exhibition mode too.

And I wonder if there's an option to have cyberface even if that guy is wearing the team hat(ex-Can we have bautista cyberface wearing a Jays hat?)

I was hoping to see an Orioles batter at home to see if they got the white panel helmets right. Maybe next time.

What about when there is a trade in real life?

Like for "exibition mode" when the new rosters are released would the player on his new team have his new hat with a Cyberface or will he still have his real face with his old team hat like in MLB 12 The Show?

I think this is what some of us are trying to find out.

That is not new and I think has been in the game for a while now.

I wouldn't put too much faith in that one screen. I've seen people get their hopes up, then realize they made a lot out of nothing and then get mad at the developers. It's nice to know we can extract colors from the current MLB teams, but let's wait a while before getting excited about a possible create-a-team mode.

I think this is what some of us are trying to find out.

If I had to take a guess, I'd say it works something like this:

Every real-life photo now has a hidden team value associated with it. A picture of Miguel Cabrera with a Tigers cap has a 'Detroit' tag, if you will, so that basically, the game internally knows what team is associated with the player's photograph.
If at any time, anywhere, the player's current team does not equal that internal "team" tag, a cyber-picture is automatically displayed.

So if you are running off default rosters that are not up-to-date, I'd imagine it would still show the player's old team, since, according to your roster, Miguel Cabrera is still on the Tigers.

However, if you had up-to-date rosters, and Miguel Cabrera was physically on the Braves roster, then it'd show a cyber-picture of him in a Braves cap

Of course this is all totally a guess... but I'd bet money that's how it was done.

Really like the idea that a cyberface pic will show up for any player photo that's been made obsolete (at least that's how I interpreted Ramone and Slab's posts, feel free to correct

Mainly an online and franchise guy, so is this new or not???

I'm probably wrong, but with having the MLB teams' color schemes there, maybe it's showing that we can edit the existing teams' uniforms. I agree that I don't see any point in showing that screen quickly if it is just for Diamond Dynasty, which was in last year. I don't, however, think there will be a create-a-team mode outside of DD.

In OOTP Baseball, I'm pretty sure the cyber shot of a player ages over time. That'd be a nice feature

I wouldn't say "edit" because I'm sure MLB wouldn't approve that but they might not have a problem if you wanted to add another custom made uniform to the wardrobe

Maybe reading into things too much, but the MLB.com logo on the score ticker might indicate more integration with MLB.com...i.e., an MLB Today type mode that has been speculated already. Not sure if the logo showed up on the ticker last year, so pardon my ignorance if so.

Yeah it was there last year. Really like the ticker this year.
