The OOTP Historical Fage Gen Project has begun!

Update!
This project is going very well! By the time the game is released on April 14th we will already have a Face Gen set ready for the MLB2010 quickstart league provided with OOTP11. This set will have approximately 1500 face gen images ready to be imported in the game, including Managers!

In addition, we will also be able to release the initial version of our Historical Face Gen set. This set is currently in progress and will have over 2000 Face Gens included in this initial release including...

1) Every Hall of Famer
2) Every Player who appeared for the Expos even 1 game (Thank You AES!)
3) Any current Major Leaguer who was 28 years old in 2008 or later (culled from the MLB set)
4) A generic Face Gen for any player who there is no known picture (No more default picture)
5) And many many many more...

We are still looking for contributors and now that we have two weeks until release we know you have nothing to do!

Go to SoxxCountry and go to the the Forum (The Dugout), register and get started.

You DO NOT need OOTP11 to participate

What are we doing?
Our goal will be to have Face Gen images for every historical player. These will be collected under one group and will be ready for import into the game.

Who’s doing this?
Everybody! The project will be administered by Gambo, Kagnew (Soxx) and Muzamba. There will be no limit on how many people we want to be involved. All we ask is that you follow a few simple “rules” to this project.

How do I get started?
Like I said above, go ahead to SoxxCountry, register and read the in-depth tutorial we have posted to get started.

But I don’t have OOTP11.
Doesn’t matter! Let us worry about that.

How will it work?
In our forum you will request a certain number (20-50) of players to do. This can be the top unassigned players from our list, players from a certain era or debut season or a specific group of random guys. Just post it on the forum and we will respond to you as quickly as we can with the final list of your assignment. If you pick a guy that’s already done we will let you know. When you’re done, you email us the .fg images and we’ll do the rest. It is 1st come 1st serve, so if you want to do baseball’s greatest you better act fast.

How much of a commitment is this?
The Face Gen process takes about 5 minutes per player. If you choose 20 guys we’re talking about 2-3 hours of work. We do not need you to turn around with results right away, just as quick as you can. Our time limits will be fairly lenient. Once your done and you send the files to us you are free to stop or ask for another group.

Anything Else?
We want this to be FUN (if you haven’t tried it is!) but organized. All we ask is that you follow the rules for the type of product we’re asking for.

What type of product are you asking for?
While I love a certain Yankee power-hitter from the 1970s with the sunglasses and mustache, we would be looking for is an image of him a little earlier in his career. The mustache can be added to him in game. This is defined in our tutorial.

Finally…
We know many of you have been playing around with this already. For you guys, go ahead and put a request for the guys you have already done as long as they fit in the criteria we defined. We do not want the work that’s been already done to go for naught.

If you have any questions let us know or go to the site and ask there. We will be sure to respond.
