I'm tinkering with the top of the player cards; if you notice any browser weirdness or SQL errors, please let me know.January 22, 2009 at 08:39PM View BBCode
I am noticing some interesting looking faces and hats on my player cards.January 22, 2009 at 08:45PM View BBCode
Nope. There are over 2100 faces (so far) and they are assigned randomly. But when it's complete there will be a way to select a new face (you'll get a page with a dozen random faces to pich from rather than browsing the whole set) or to remove the picture (in which case it will say No Picture Available). You will also be able to disable the pics completetly, in which case you woud (probably) see a team logo instead.January 22, 2009 at 09:15PM View BBCode
Will the players age?January 22, 2009 at 09:34PM View formatted

I had considered making the players age; I have the ability to do so. But that would require 3 to 5 times as many images, and since I have not done so with this batch I'd have to throw out the 2100 images I already have. Would it be cooler to habve more images overall or fewer images that actually age?January 22, 2009 at 10:04PM View BBCode

Unfortunately, that's the kind of thing we can't have without a license from the MLBPA.

That's what we will have to figure out. But right now I'm just working on getting the main system going, plus getting more functional updates done.January 22, 2009 at 10:28PM View BBCode
Maybe we can have custom faces for $5, like custom logos.January 22, 2009 at 10:42PM View BBCode

As much as I miss the attacking cat, I can understand the importance of changing your avatar. And you seem really excited about this. I don't blame you. Will there be looks of anguish for when the player is injured?

Makes sense to me. Can you put the logo a bit higher on the hat? They seem a bit too close to the bill.January 22, 2009 at 10:48PM View BBCode
The bill is angled upward, so it actually blocks a tiny part of the logo, as it should from a 3D perspective.January 22, 2009 at 11:20PM View BBCode
Very, very cool. I'm looking forward to this one coming over to the main site. And maybe someday, the images could get implemented into DynastyVision, too?January 23, 2009 at 12:32AM View BBCode
OK, here's what an age progression would look like:January 23, 2009 at 12:36AM View BBCode
It's fairly subtle and I don't think it adds a ton, frankly.January 23, 2009 at 12:54AM View BBCode
I have to add facial hair manually so not that many have it.January 23, 2009 at 01:14AM View BBCode
Like the progression. Now what about the non conformists, hippies, hipsters, ex-gang bangers. How about the all of a sudden super stud on juice aka McGuire or Bonds?January 23, 2009 at 02:05AM View BBCode
Well, let's just say that the more things I add, the fewer images we'll have. In the last hour I've generated enough images for progressions for 120 players, as opposed to the 2200 that are there now. So I'm 18 hours from just completing the set, and that's without adding facial hair to anyone.January 23, 2009 at 08:02PM View BBCode
