Facegens for Standard and Historical games, NHL plus everything else, with exception of North American Junior and College/University leagues.

Latest update includes Facegens for all players on current NHL protected lists.
Also all players on the 2026 Futures List, minus one Estonian player I couldn't
find a photo of. I've also checked all players from NHL drafts back to 2017 are included.

Additionaly several thousand historical players have been cleaned-up and improved.

I'll update this going forward.

The only FHM11 updates so far are any recent NHL updates by Pontuzzza , plus around 1400 historical AHL players and NHL draft picks that
I have added. For perspective, that doesn't even include any players born after 1970 , so may take a while!

Thanks for sharing your work! Picked up the game earlier this week and now that I have a handle on it, time to add some realistic faces.

Updated for pretty much all Standard playable leagues (non-junior and college).

Will focus on historical next.

Thank you so much for doing this!

Quick question - does adding all these to the game slow down the simulation speed? It is up to 45K images so thought I'd ask.

If so, would it be possible to have these in folders by league or at least have the historical ones separated from the current day ones so we can use the ones that apply to the game we are running?

Thanks.*

When a player image is viewed for the first time in your game, FHM creates
a player_pic record. That will either be a fictional image, or will use a facegen
if one exists.

So if you never view the teams/players in a particular league , the game will never
generate a player_pic for them.

The more players you view the more pics get created, so in theory it might
make the game slightly slower over time, but I've never noticed this. Also you
can just delete player_pic records from your games graphics/player_pics folder.
The game will then regenerate them next time you view the players record.

Update - added roughly 5000 historical minor league players
and NHL draft picks.

Completed up to July 1st 2000 start, but that was before WHL and IHL
was added. So still have most of those to do, plus post-2000 starts.

Also started doing cleaned up and improved versions of many players to remove generic looks. Should look more like the actual player now!

[Pontuzzza]

Fantastic! Thanks!

Awesome work!

Updated - added around 2000 minor league players and draft picks
for historical games . Covers up to 2010 starts.

Also some improved and cleaned up versions

Some FHM12 and historical updates

Does the number of face gen files affect game speed? I assume since the game caches pictures once created it doesn't but thought I'd ask.

I'm on a mac as well. I've seen tutorials on photopack, but no facegen, so that's part of my confusion.

Copy into Facegen folder and overwrite anything that's in there.
You can skip any that are same date and filesize.
