Feature Request: Retired Player Facegen

Seviien · 05-06-2012, 08:15 PM

Could retired players please have a facegen that stays set at somewhere between 30 and 35 years of age? I play a lot of longer-lived fictional leagues, and everytime I go through the hall of fame or the record book, it's like visiting a retirement home. (Sorry to be harsh). When most of us think of The Babe or Teddy Ballgame, I think we envision them how they looked at or near their prime, rather than the old person they'd be if we looked at their records when they were 90 years old. It'd be nice if OOTP reflected that.

Super bonus points if the ball cap and uniform a player was wearing corresponded to the team where they made their biggest impact. (Maybe cumulative VORP or WAR?). The game might already be doing this, but I'm not sure.

I'm sure a couple of version ago it was possible to freeze the picture... I don't understand why this disapear from the game.

How about an option like the "Delete those who never reached Majors" option where all player facegens are locked at retirement?

I know a couple versions ago it was like this. I agree that the facegen pic should automatically lock (age-wise) as soon as the player retires.

Yeah, I would just freeze the pics of a guy and if I'd forgotten to do it, I'd go back in time to his age set him to the right pic a la the hall of fame. If that capability is gone now, they need to add it back stat. It was very, very useful.

Baseball cards serve the same purpose as freezing pictures. For example, when baseball cards are generated for Hall of Fame inductees.

Wich make absolutly no sense... we don't do a baseball card for all the players who have ever played in a league. If this is the reason this is completly ridiculous.
