Gosh, I like to get into this making of Headshots. Playing older Eras some that is created from any cyberface or edited face is horrible. Sadly, in my eyes, is creators put up ons of cyberfaces and portraits but very few headshots.
It's after all the headshots that is first seen when checking a roster, so I am surprised I don't see whatever you guys have made ready for some DL for us with less skills to make ones own. I do know how to mix and match in the CE to get the right numbers or whatever number new headshots is made.

Looking at this thread it looks beyond me to fix this, but I give it a try. Those headshots just needs to look good. Horrible to look at David Robinson in Jordan Era with his cartoon face and silly grin. :shock:

It's trickier this year as we have no way of assigning new face pics to older players easily. Have you ever used any graphic\paint prog? If so it's easy to make the portraits, find a pic, resize and remove the background then save and replace the face in the iff.

It may look scary at the beginning, as you could see by the amount of stupid questions I asked here lol, but after you do few than its automatic. If you need any help feel free to ask. Since bikerjimuk helped me I did almost full Magic Bird Era. I really wish we can have Hook but we don't. When you know what you are doing it will take you less than 2 minutes per pic and thats starting from scratch.

I find the discussion about portraits interesting, but I personally prefer to work with dornas.
The ones from 2k24 need editing to work in 2k25, and I have a lot of work to do to make them work.
I have many from last year, and many current ones.
If anyone could make a tutorial on how to make them work in 2k25, I would be grateful.

Thanks.
