Alternate Uniform

[wodi]

When using an alternate uniform, does the player facegen in game not also change? It looks weird that the 3d models wear the alternate uniform but the facegen still has the home/away uniform.

Am I missing something?

In previous responses to this question, OOTP responded that one should think of that facegen as the media shot that was done in Spring and is posted to the TV viewer/on the jumbotron ... and not a picture from that day's game.

Last week I started a game and when the Sox wore their alternate uniforms, Chris Sale was holding a pair of scissor in his facegen

Thanks, that’s disappointing. Maybe in 24 they’ll adjust that.

Waiiiit, I just remembered, they change facegen uniforms home/away!!!

There’s no excuse to not change the facegen to the alternate uniform in game!!!

Again, see LansdowneSt's comment.

Same reasoning. The best example I can give.....

I'm a Reds fan. The fg's are going to generate for home (white) and away (road gray). The alternates (Memorial Day, 4th of July, red home, red away, throwback, etc.) will not. They don't show them on Bally Sports in a press shot in their alternates. Only in their designated home and away uniforms.

To get the result you want, you'd need to change the home (or away, depending) uniform to the alternate in team settings, then you'd refresh everyone's facegen so they don it... and then start the game. OOTP will then accept that as the new "home" (or "away") uniform for that "media shot". When the game is over, you'd need to reverse the process to restore the whites/grays. But the game won't create and load into the cache all the alternates you may have. It's got a slot for two only.

Sure, I get it. It just, to me, seems like it should be an easy addition… they already have the ability to swap between home/away.

It’s just disappointing to me, since in-game the facegens take up most of the screen, it’s, again for me, more of a visual indicator of what uniform is being worn that the small little 3-d guys.

Just a bit disappointed, it takes away from the allure of having alternate unis….. but nonetheless a step in the right direction!
