Anthony "Pig" Miller in NBA Live 06

[boxMAN29]

An interesting thing about NBA Live 06 is that Anthony "Pig" Miller makes an appearance as a free agent due to playing 2 games with the Hawks during the 2004-05 season but his appearance is messed up, First of all, this looks like Andre Miller, second, his tattoos are missing, and third, the color of his head and neck don't match his legs and arms if you look very closely, I have also attached his Media Day 2002 photo to show what he actually looks like.

I think they gave him Andre Miller's head by accident.

Has no portrait either.

Despite the inaccurate appearance, this is good for making classic teams with Anthony Miller on the roster (ex. 2000-01 Atlanta Hawks)

This is also a definite idea for "5 Times Games Messed Up Player Appearances" as well.

Yeah, I noticed that a while back! I'd say they copied Andre Miller's face as a placeholder, and then never fixed it because Anthony Miller didn't return after that. Thanks for the reminder, that definitely would be a great example for that series!

EDIT: Looks like I did mention it in passing in a previous article: https://www.nba-live.com/ww-nba-returns ... bsences-2/

However, it deserves a proper spotlight in a relevant series, so I'll add that to my notes for when I'm doing the next article.

Yeah, this is very strange how they did this, did you also notice the missing tattoos?

I did. It definitely makes me think that they added him with a placeholder - Andre Miller's, probably because of the convenience of the similar PLAYERPKGs, so the file was handy - then forgot to fix him up or remove him from the roster when it became apparent he wasn't likely going to be back. After all, he'd been out of the league for years before that 2005 season cameo and never got a ton of playing time, so it seems fair to assume he was an afterthought. Still a bit careless, though!

Yeah, but thankfully we can make classic teams with Anthony Miller on the roster without the need to create him.

For sure! Better to have him than not, as we can always fix these things up with mods.
