Really weird issue with facegens duplicating

[Habsfan18]

edit: A thought..could the game be using the facegens from the historical FG database if I have that installed for historical modes? I do see Miguel Garcia and John Harris are in the historical DB..

Miguel Garcia has lived many lives.

Looking through my league history (1901 through 2020 so far), specifically Miguel Garcia (a player I've posted about in another thread), I noticed something really odd.

There are 9 Miguel Garcia's in my league's database, pitchers and batters. They ALL have the exact same facegen.. Sure, I can regenerate a new picture, but do you guys have any idea why they all have the exact same facegen when the game generates them as new players?

Examples:

Hmm, I searched another common name. John Harris. 3 results came up.

It looks like that when a player generates with a name that already exists in the specific league database, it uses the exact same facegen.

That's exactly what it's doing.

Good to know. Thanks! Was worried for a few minutes.
