This is admittedly a small gripe...but still, why are all my baseball cards covered in literally faceless (the LIVE card faceless version is pretty bad) bodies, or just the team's logo against a monochromatic background (the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s cards are the worst).


Just an item on my wish list. I'm relatively new to PT, and new to these boards, so if this is something that's been discussed/explained already, feel free to forward me the link to that info before you roll your eyes at me really hard.

As I understand it, the MLB doesn't have legal rights over retired players - thus you would have to get permission from each retired player - basically an impossible task.


As far a LIVE players, my guess is that there was no official "MLB" photo they could offer to be used at the time OOTP needed them.


That said, a different "generic" faceless LIVE player would be welcome.
