Player Photo problem

I know several other people have had problems importing player photos but despite searching I couldn't find another situation like mine...

I have a league with about 15000 players in my file (that includes retired players) with about 7000 active players on teams down to rookie ball. We play with fictional teams but real life players.

The players in my league all have nicknames of their unique player ID #'s which is what we used to use to sort them in our historical stats databases etc..

I have mostly current player photos and the ones I have had all been re-named to the corresponding ID #'s ..

When I imported these photos, the OOTP game software knew to look for these numbers in "Miguel '12345' Cabrera" where 12345 was the name of his player photo for example and about 75% of the photos worked.

There are several photos that did not seem to load and they appear to mostly be minor leaguers.. though it really shouldn't have mattered because all the OOTP players have a corresponding "nickname" of the player ID and all the photos are 90x135 jpg's named to that corresponding player ID...

As you can see, my situation is a bit unique yet also frustrating... can't figure out why so many files won't import automatically. They will if I go through each guy and import manually but if the others import, I must be missing something... ?? Help?
