Someone asked me about creating baseball cards using the FaceGen pics. If you wanted to print out baseball cards the size of postage stamps, they would be adequate.

And even considering that, they look lousy, because baseball cards that you buy have action shots on them. They don't have a picture of the guy staring into the camera (or slight variations of guys looking into the camera), at least most of them don't. Even cards created 100 years ago had at least drawings/paintings of players in action.

If you wanted ones the size of baseball cards, suitable for printing, you'd need a 300 dpi image at roughly 2.25 at 3.50 inches. They'd be about 1/2 a MB each.

Doing them on demand wouldn't be much of a problem, but if you did a whole league, that could be 3-4 GB of data for just the card fronts alone.

Uniforms, pictures and stadiums would bankrupt OOTP. You have to pay to license that stuff, you know.
