it's normal. all the bald players has that problem. it is a ea bug.

It's not a bug, it indicates the lack of an alpha layer with the face you're using. Run a search on alpha layers here in the NBA Live 08 section and you'll find some more info on what you need to do to fix the problem.

i turn off lighting and now is normal

[Andrew]

Certainly another solution if you don't mind playing without lighting enabled.

I do not understand how to fix with alpha layers
i dont like play with enabled lighting so help please

[Andrew]

As I said, run a search here in the NBA Live 08 section. The steps for adding alpha layers to cyberfaces has been posted a few times before.

i find this, I do not understand how to do this

Here is the program you need...

Ok, it's pretty simple. All you have to do is get an 07 fsh (alpha files for bald players and players with hair are different for lighting purposes) and drag it onto the fshline.exe file. It will extract the fsh into a folder of the same name as the fsh. Inside there will be the bhed bitmap, an alpha file, and an index file. Now drag the 06 fsh onto the fshline.exe to extract that to a folder. Open up the 06 fsh folder that was created by fshline and copy the bitmap (256x256 named 0000) and past it into the 07 fsh folder created by fshline and overwrite that bitmap. Now open the 07 fsh folder and drag the index file onto the fshline.exe. Now rename the 07.fsh file to the playerpkg of you 06 fsh and drop it in the sgsm and that's it.

Also if you run into any errors with fshline when dragging the index file onto the fshline.exe make sure your fsh file and the folder created by fshline which contains the index, bitmap, and alpha are located in the same directory (I just use my desktop.)

Any questions just let me know.

Examples of the alpha files:

w/hair


bald

Well, those are the steps you have to follow; that's what needs to be done. If there's a particular part of the process you're having trouble, perhaps someone can explain it to you in a different way.

I think there was a pack of cyberfaces released with proper alpha textures for LIve 07 that is compatible with Live 08.

Here's the cyberface sweat pack that was released for 07.

In order to keep the cyberface patches you have installed, you need to extract only the cyberfaces you need from that file to the sgsm directory. If you use that file to replace the one from NBA Live 08, you will lose any new cyberfaces added between those versions, but it should fix your problem with all the generic players not having alpha textures if you export the ones you need.
