Generating new player pictures

Libid21 · 07-31-2009, 10:25 PM

If I generate new fictional player photos for my high school feeder league, does that mean it will automatically update / generate new player photos for new players from now on without me having to press that button again?

For example, next year when a freshman comes into the high school, will they already have a generated picture or would I have to click generate new pictures again?

Also... what if I don't want the generated photos anymore? Is there an option that says something like "remove fictional player photos from this league" or something like that? Thanks.

The best way to do it is to go to "Game Setup" and under "Fictional Player Options" set it for ALL PLAYERS and below that set to ON DEMAND. This way anytime you go to a page to look at a player the picture will generate if it doesn't exist and it only takes a few seconds.

If you set it to create all players at creation and update all on Jan 1st, you will have to sit and wait a loooong time a few times a season.....

What if I want to keep my player photos already of the real life players?

Is there a way to get rid of the player photos that I generated for my high school feeder league??

Anyways, I think I'll just go with using a fictional picture for EVERYONE. Since some players like T. Hudson and J. Teheran don't have player photos. I think it's better in the long run.

The pictures all reside in your saved game folder under news...html...images....

you can put real pictures in here and the will be used and fictional pictures will still be generated for new players.

You can get rid of the picture you created in two ways:

1) go to said folder and delete them all...

2) When you view a player, you can get the game to generate a new pic, if you don't like the one it has created....

Is it just these two types of files that I have to delete to get rid of all the fictional pictures that I generated?

"player_(number)"
"coach_(number)"

And you said I can still use the photos of the real life players and still be able to generate fictional pictures for new players? How do I do that?

Just put the real pictures in there or in the main "photos" folder and the game will use a real pic for a player if it has one that matches his name or generate a fictional pic, if it doesn't.
