OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Naming convention of player pics: There's gotta be a better way

I don't follow hockey at all, but I would have to wonder, how many players on the same team in any given year have the same exact name?
I've done thousands of pics for baseball, the MLB, All Minor lgs. and about 9,000 for 300 ncaa teams and I've yet to find 2 players on the same team with the same name, but that may be different with the foreign hockey teams.
If it's not many, then I would use player name_team name_year as the naming convention for photos. Just a thought.
