I could be somehow missing him, but for some reason I can not find Albert Pujols. Which is hard to believe.

He's in there. His file is called pujols001jos.fg

In on Fast Spring and manually downloading and installing, follow the steps in post 819 here (just a few back) and ensure you have all the files in the proper place. Next go to him in the player editor and under Picture Functions, go to Auto-regenerate facegen and see if it corrects.

If on Steam, go to Workshop Central and re-download it and then the option above that to reinstall it. You should see a loading bar at the top as it's a fair number of files to install. Then go to Albert again in the Player Editor and see if you can load it, if it doesn't autoload.

Let me know how it goes and report back. We'll get ya set.

Came across some facegens that could look better:

Gary Cooper (coopega02), Todd Haney, Dasher Troy, Joe Wright and Lance Zawadzki.

I also came across some that appear to be missing. It could be that they are under a different ID and I'm not looking closely enough so any help with finding them would be appreciated or if they are missing can they be created?

Ed Giovanola, Jose Gonzalez, Chito Martinez, Dante Powell, Darren Reed and Juan Sosa.

Thanks!

Thanks, as the release frenzy subsides, I'll take a look at these. I'm not sure there is a workable photo of Joe Wright. The BBR photo isn't him per the discussions in the thread next door.

Thanks Lans! I just generated a random facegen for Wright, it's what I did for the 19th century ones that didn't have one in my game. All of them just played a handful of games so I figured there wouldn't be a photo for them.

I had been out of the game for a few years and totally had a brain fart to be honest. I was trying to make him a coach on my 2025 Cardinals staff. Ended up just importing him from the historical database and making him a coach and of course that worked. Thanks for the help though.

That being said since then I've quickly gotten back into the groove and made hundreds of facegens of players that I haven't seen around. Prospects from teams. I'm currently trying to work through every team's top prospects. Then I plan on going through top 100 or so of each of the next few years' drafts. Along with that I've been knocking out owners, GM's, trainers, and other staff members. Not sure if that requires a separate post or I can just send them to someone who can add them to one of their packs.

thanks. Since I still don't have access to a laptop yet since the fire, I can't see who is in the pack and who isnt for future reference so is there a list somewhere so i know as to not suggest someone who was already done?

Nice to hear someone has caught the facegen bug. . I’d do what Chris did a few threads down but with the suggestion I made WRT screenshots. Obviously AESP and I post as we go so instead, if you have a bunch already, I’d zip them and do team photos so people know what they have in the zip. Move them all to some team (doesn’t matter which) and screenshot, crop, post. Doesn’t matter if it’s a separate thread or not. While I administer the pack itself, this stickied thread is open to all.

I also have just hit about the 8 to 9 month mark on making facegens as well. I'm not horrible and would be interested in trying to piggyback off what you're working on and try and update some low minors guys that are borderline type prospects but will probably be minor league and indy league fillers for a few more years still. I obviously would prefer to not work on stuff you're already doing so maybe we can figure out where I best fit in?

I don’t think a list exists, but in general, if a picture of a player is available, there’s a very good chance I’ve already created a facegen for him—unless, of course, the picture was unusable. I can’t work with images where the player isn’t facing forward.

My process for the pack has been straightforward: I started from 1871 and created facegens for any players Lans hadn’t done. Right now, I’m stuck at 1979 since I’m playing my game with the Expos (currently in August 1974). That said, Lans covered a lot of players from the 1980s onward, at least most of the key ones.

P.S. I’m not claiming my early work was perfect—I've improved my tools since then—but I’m happy to update older facegens upon request if I have the time.

I could probably work on an excel sheet or something that says what's done and needs to be done. I can say for sure as of this moment that the only team that is completely done at all levels is the Cardinals. I was gearing up to start a franchise with them and did their entire team at all levels and got caught up with face gens instead. Otherwise I've just done the top prospects in the player development tab through Cincy or Cleveland I believe. (Alphabetically).

EDIT* I had a few minutes so I started a little something on Excel and attached it. See if that's something that we could work with.

[Pappydhorn]

I went ahead and uploaded the ones I've made so far. Feel free to check them out. Use them. They are good quality. I've made a checklist. I'm pretty sure anyone can access it. If anyone else what's to chip in on completing draft picks, minor leaguers.

Boeve was a king of contact over his three years at University of Nebraska-Omaha, and that was never clearer than in his junior campaign when he finished among the top five nationally with a 4.3 percent K rate and a 0.28 K/BB ratio while hitting .401 over 47 games. The Brewers took him in the second round in 2023, making him the highest pick in school history, and he came firing out of the gate in his first full season by going 21-for-38 (.553) in his first 13 games with High-A Wisconsin. Milwaukee promoted Boeve to Double-A Biloxi in late April, and he slashed .306/.374/.447 with six homers in 66 games the rest of the way while missing some time with a right shoulder injury.

Batting from the left side, Boeve gets into a slight crouch, using only a minimal load and whipping a short swing to put the barrel on the ball. Even at Double-A, he’s shown an ability to handle most pitch types, and he’s as comfortable shooting balls the other way as he is pulling them down the line. However, his current power projection is for 10-12 homers over a full season because most of his pop comes on doubles to the gaps. Milwaukee is hopeful that could improve with a healthier year in 2025.

Boeve is a below-average runner and a non-threat to steal bases. He can still get his glove to balls at third base but won’t wow anyone there with his range or arm strength. The Brewers gave him more looks at first base in the Southern League, and he has a better chance of being average there, albeit with an added need for power. - mlbpipeline

Adams was just a 12th-round pick out of Hinsdale (Ill.) Central High School in 2022 but signed for sixth-round money at $282,500. He put himself on the map with a strong first full season for Single-A Carolina, winning Carolina League All-Star honors with a .233/.400/.401 line, 11 homers and 30 steals in 99 games. Playing in his age-20 season last year, Adams put up remarkably similar numbers (.227/.443/.397, 11 HR, 28 SB) in 101 games with High-A Wisconsin and helped push the Timber Rattlers to an appearance in the Midwest League Championship Series.

Standing at 6-foot-4, the right-handed slugger makes for a sight in the box with high hands and an interesting leg kick that leads into an extended front side. There is good raw power in Adams’ frame, but he doesn’t play as well into it yet because of high groundball and infield popup rates. The Brewers hope to add more verticality to his swing to get the elevation needed for better pop. But for now, Adams can still scare pitchers away from pitching in the zone (or in some cases into him with an astounding 40 hit-by-pitches in ’24), and while he can be too passive early in counts, that approach has worked to his benefit to this point.

Adams has been willing to push the envelope on the basepaths but will likely settle into below-average speed as he matures. He can make it work at third base despite rough actions at times, but he’ll likely see more time at first base the higher he climbs in the organization. The power and aggression will have to come around more as that happens. - mlbpipeline

Milwaukee’s top signing in the 2023 international class, Rodriguez joined the organization for $1.5 million out of the Dominican Republic that January and has fallen in line behind Jackson Chourio and Luis Lara among Brewers outfielders to skip the Arizona Complex League in their move from the Dominican Summer League to stateside ball. Rodriguez was 18 for the duration of the 2024 season and spent the entire regular season with Single-A Carolina, picking up 474 plate appearances, fourth-most among a Minor Leaguer 18 or younger last year. He finished with a .250/.343/.383 line with seven homers and seven steals in 110 games with the Mudcats and was briefly promoted to High-A Wisconsin for its Midwest League postseason run.

Rodriguez stands in the box as a 6-foot-1 left-handed hitter and twists slightly in before uncoiling on his swings. One of his standout traits in 2024 was his ability to focus on pitches in the zone, thus limiting chase and producing a healthy walk rate especially for someone with his limited experience. His power should be average as he catches up to more age-level competition, but the Brewers are working to add a little verticality to his swing to produce more line drives and fly balls that will allow the power to play more.

Rodriguez lacks the footspeed of Chourio or Lara and is less likely to stick in center field over the long haul. That’s not a problem for a system so loaded up the middle, and his arm, which stands out more for its accuracy than its pure strength, would work in right if needed. The teenager has plenty of developmental runway ahead of him and will get the time and space needed to become a potential well-rounded outfielder. - mlbpipeline

Ranked as MLB Pipeline’s No. 22 international prospect in 2024, Made wasn’t Milwaukee’s biggest signing of the class nor was he even a seven-figure signing after joining the organization for $950,000. But one year later, he’s proven himself to be one of the best prospects in all of baseball. The switch-hitting infielder was a Dominican Summer League All-Star in his first taste of the pros and finished with a .331/.458/.554 line, six homers, 28 steals and an astounding 28/39 K/BB ratio in 51 games.

Made’s underlying data made him really pop across the industry. He ran just a 15 percent chase rate and made contact on 89 percent of his swings, cementing his special plate discipline status. It’s one thing to make good swing decisions and another to pack some punch behind the hacks. Made did that too with a 47 percent hard-hit rate and 103.9 mph 90th-percentile exit velocity; the latter of which would put him in Jazz Chisholm Jr. and José Ramírez territory right now. And he did this at just 17 years old. Starting with a front foot slightly turned backward, Made can look like a spring unloading on contact, though the vast majority of his looks came from the left side in ’24.

Defensively, Made – an above-average runner – got the lion’s share of his work at short but also saw time at third and second. His plus arm strength is a fit at the hot corner, and at this early stage, it’s still possible he slides over there full time down the line. For now, Milwaukee wants Made getting every opportunity to stick at the six and that would add another level to his already considerable ceiling, even with all the caveats of youth thrown in. - mlbpipeline

Despite showing good size and solid tools at Magnolia Heights HS (Senatobia, Miss.) and on the showcase circuit, Pratt looked like he was headed to Ole Miss after the 2023 Draft when his name wasn’t called in the first five rounds. Sensing an opportunity, the Brewers swooped in the sixth round and eventually signed the young infielder for $1.35 million, roughly second-round money. Pratt was an All-Star Futures Game selection and a Carolina League All-Star in his first full season and finished with a .277/.362/.406 line with eight homers and 27 steals in 96 games between Single-A Carolina and High-A Wisconsin. He appeared in two postseason games for Double-A Biloxi closer to home and homered in one to round out a full 2024.

Pratt didn’t whiff much at Single-A, backing up the bat-to-ball skills that made him such a notable Draft prospect in the first place. He’s more of a line-drive hitter at this early stage of his development, and he’s already shown a solid ability to yank liners to his pull side for doubles. Brewers officials noted with interest that he showed more power at the higher level with Wisconsin -- a possible combination of confidence, swinging with intent and physical maturation -- and given his size at 6-foot-4, there is the potential for average or above power at Pratt’s peak.

A solid average runner, Pratt shows impressive timing and instincts at shortstop and was rewarded with a Gold Glove Award in his first campaign. His internal clock impressed many evaluators, and he has ample arm strength and arrow-like accuracy to throw out runners in a pinch. Those calm concerns that he’d need to head over to third base eventually while elevating Pratt’s ceiling as a potential solid regular. - mlbpipeline

Considered one of the fastest players in the 2024 class, Payne was also one of its youngest with his 18th birthday coming one month after the Draft itself. He was ranked as MLB Pipeline’s No. 53 prospect in the group but became a Day 1 shock when he went 17th overall to Milwaukee. Payne signed for below slot at $3.44 million, allowing the organization to spread savings for later in the Draft, and he played briefly for Single-A Carolina, including two games in the Carolina League postseason.

Payne’s plus-plus speed is a game-changer as he proved in that quick dip in the pros with four steals in five attempts. Batting from the left side, he can explode out of the box and often opens up early in his swing to give himself a head start on the way to first. That can often lead to ground balls -- some of which he’ll beat out with his legs -- and it’ll be important for him to add some more lift on his swings as he enters the pros over a larger sample. To his credit, he impressed some Brewers coaches with his physicality after reporting, and there’s the potential he could get to decent power in time.

Because of his speed, Payne can track down balls gap to gap in center field, and he should get plenty of looks there throughout his career. Once considered fringy, the former Houston commit should also have an average arm to help his defensive work. Payne’s speed should work well in the modern game and gives him a decent floor, and considering he’ll be 18 for much of his first full season, he’ll be given plenty of space to fill out the rest of his game.
