AGE: Do players look older as seasons pass?

by **Andre** on Wed Nov 17, 2004 2:14 am

Has anyone who has gone far in dynasty mode noticed if players get older?

When you create a player, one of the features is AGE. Is this related? EA introduced this thing but didn't say anything about it...

I think that the thing with creating players with age apperance, is just so he doesn't look 20 if you don't wan't him to.
Although I guess it's possible that all the faces tend to get older. I wouldn't know though, I've just played a half season...

This is a good topic. Thanks for bringing it up. I've always been meaning to ask someone, anyone who already has the game if they've noticed any of this.

I think I remember reading one or more articles in which was mentioned that a Kevin Garnett of today won't look the same as the Kevin Garnett of 10 years from now. I hope someone can confirm if this is truely an addition in the game. I'd also appreciate it if someone would be willing to make a few screenshots if it is a factor in the game. If someone hasn't already simmed a few years down, could someone do it for this simple test? It's much appreciated.

Hey Jackal you realize you are the devil by putting CELTIC GREEN with the LAKERS????? j/k by the way

Lol, Celtic green? Wasn't really aiming for that. Just wanted something different from the usual Orange/Purple. The green looks nice on the dotorg forums.

The green does look good with the lakers logo, i'll give it up for that

EDIT: Here is a new interesting topic at live.org:

It seems players get taller. That's good, except that even YAO grew 2 inches....well..I don't know about their face and hair though......I have simulated 3 seasons. At the end of in 2007, Garnett still has the same face....I'm going to go further and simulate another 4-5 years over the next days and see what happens.

In the meanwhile, should anyone know the answer, please post it, it will save me time.

Shawn Bradley grew three inches... I don't know if this height increase thing is such a good idea.

Just kidding about Shawn though.

well...I agree with you...Yao or Bradley growing 3 inches wouldn't be good news. I thought EA put a sort of age-filter for this. Yao for example is 24...nobody still grows at that age.

I don't know if that guy at live.org was kidding...all I know is that in my dynasty some players grew 1 inch, but they were all young players:

Ben Gordon grew to 6.4 from 6.3
Darko Milicic grew to 7.1 from 7.0
Shaun Livingston grew to 6.8 from 6.7

That's all I remember...and it's not bad...it's realistic.

theres only one bhed.fsh per player, pic cannot change on its own, but u can give the player an older look by patching it.. like add wrinkles or wutnot

, but its a cool idea... for example the rpg action game for xbox Fable, player ages over time, age shows in the face and hair color
