Importing pictures..

Not new to the game, but I'm dumb enough to forget how to do this every time...

Can anyone help me with importing pictures of players, coaches, etc...

I am wondering the same thing. I've been playing this game for probably 10 years, and I can never figure out how to get pictures, logos, and jerseys working properly. They hare supposed to go into the saved gane folder, then/new/html/images. I put them there, and nothing. Can they be in subfolders in that directory?

I gotta say, out of all the video games I play (which is alot), OOTP EASILY wins the award for most difficult to get working properly. It is so frustrating. Every year I think "I should play some OOTP!". Tonight, I remember why I never play it.

You got your photos in the wrong place. Nothing initially goes in the saved_game folder.
These go in the data's subfolders or where ever your game folders are.
Real player photos go in the photos folder.
Facegen pics go in the fg_files folder.
Logos go in the logos folder
Ballparks and the .prk files go in the ballparks folder.
Unis in the jerseys folder
caps in the ballcaps folder
this will get you started.

If you already got a game started and want to change the logos, go in your saved_games folder\your saved game\news\html\images\team_logos folder and delete everything and send it to recycle so you can restore it if something goes amiss. Now quit and restart the game and it will generate all the logos for you and place them there. Do the same for League Logos they're in league_logo folder. This structure is new in 13.
If your starting a new game, you don't need to do this as long as the logos are in the logos folder and not the saved game anywhere folders.
hope this helps.
