Whenever I create a fictional season replay (and yes, single season replay is an option so therefore he excepts people to play in this manner)... it seems to assign incorrect ballparks, etc., therefore using the parks.dat file from another season rarely if ever works... Every historical team should have a default ballpark assigned to it... the ball flight should be saved with that ball park and therefore when you assign a photo to that ballpark and setup the ball flight it will come through to any team in any year that you use that stadium.

It is almost like there is something fundamentally wrong with the ball park system.... I am 100% sure there is something fundamentally wrong with trying to assign actually player photos if you are playing more than one season, or doing a historical season versus replaying the newest season.
I agree with the ballparks issue. It seems like their should be an easier way to handle the automatic assigning of era appropriate photos.

The player photos usually work ok though. As long as the photos are named properly (by name or id), they should get assigned to the players automaticlly. You don't need to assign them each season. Of course if you want a player to have his photo change each year you may need to assign them manually.
