BIg nose => big hands => better handling
You have to talk on D. Good ID for talking, good OD for listening. btw Nanook is not an elf.
Drivers can have fancy hair, but it's a weak one. How about Face Oblongingness? Good drivers with oblong faces, bad with round faces.

I'm not crazy for this either. I agree that whatever it is, we don't have a Michael Jackson case where one user can change a player from black to white, then goes another team and turns black again. But I have to say I like mizzou28 idea of doing it when you draft so you really have the same identity throughout and options shouldn't be outrageous like Dennis Rodman haircut cause then everyone would do that. The thing is that as long as you drafting you never know what the player looks like in the first place, so you can give users the option to be able to choose what they look like and could do to only 1 player, but the options should be reasonable and such that choices made by users are about equal so you won't have something that stands out like Dennis Rodman haircut that would far be more chosen than the rest.

In conclusion, as long as creating players doesn't make it look obvious users control players appearance, and maintains the individual being the same from entering the draft until retirement, then you are eliminating the con from the equation and therefore it can't hurt to only use the pro that come with this

Much like how I suggested in my new idea on how we can choose names (Read My Thorough Detailed Thread On This (179261.1) for whatever commented you have on the names, in here only respond on the players appearance issue). I thought now the same can be applied in here as well.

If at least players cant create faces which reasonably they can't. If this happens before players being drafted (thanks to Mizzou28 idea), how about if BB generates 10 different players appearances to choose from and the user can choose from these. If the user can choose a random appearance, I think the main thing to consider is that for example in the US you have 10 random players, some black and some white (and no i'm not racist). Some would constantly just choose black or just white and would not be realistic. I was thinking of the draftee was for example going to be black anyways, then user can choose from 10 different appearance of a player with that exact black skin color. This way you don't get outrageous appearances like everyone headbands, players getting plastic surgeries midway through, etc... The player is choosing from what BB players appearance generator creates, so user won't create something crazy and would be normal because it was created by BB.

I'm not one of those people complaining about the offseason. But would it be other things that usually clog the whole processing? regardless the real processing that takes place actually I had in mind would be before the offseason.

The user can choose what a player looks like from 10 different option, that option is available before the beginning of a new season. So all the random face generation happens before the season starts, and can happen very slowly and gradually from the begininng of the season much like the draft where there are tons of random inside info that isn't available until midseason, but processing it little by little each day or week will not accumulate tons at once. Anyways those options are available to users, they submit who they like, and by the time it reaches offseason, the processing starts which only process one player appearance and name which the users chooses. The rest is deleted from the system so in the end the only impact that the offseason has is the processing of the choices being submitted with 1 player, not 10 players.

I know how codes work, and there is an efficient solution to this.

Alright..

So how many of you at closet Sims fans? Secretly playing when your significant other is asleep.. Creating yourself in the game with your partners then hooking up with the neighbours...

Let's just work on making the basketball aspect a bit better first. Jerseys would be a nice addition, as would club logos in the Match Viewer..

I like the idea of changing the look of some players but it isn't really necessary. If you're gonna sell your player cause he's ugly.. You're playing the wrong game.

Alright after reading GM-Perpete messages if the things slows the server then I agree it should be at halt and we should get jerseys out first. In fact I proposed the idea of jerseys before reading all the other forums that were around so I'm a proof example also of why we should have jerseys.

I mainly addressed the changing players appearance issue to tackle the problem with all the requests that goes around here (as well with name changes). I think these are great ways to give users the requests they want as they eliminate the issues that are constantly brought up when people discuss these topics.

The players appearances should remain as it is for now, let's get jerseys first.

Like white nigerian guys ?

Well, this has not to be adressed by users, but by BBs themselves with more proper face for chinese or other asian people.

fyp

But it is adressed by the users and for many seasons now - I think this should be fixed really asap AND this sure is not a huge coding thing to do.
