Say you wanted to add rashad mccants. Open the players.dbf file in that 05-06 roster and find him there (I use Excel to do this, btw). In the columns ISCREATED, FACEPATCH, and ISGENERATE to FALSE (columns BL, BM, and BN). For PLAYERPKG (col. BQ), enter RAMCCAN. Save the edited .dbf file. Then go to the appearance.dbf file in that same save folder. Go down to the same row where you have McCants in the players.dbf file (row 762). Change the FACEID (column C) to -1, and ID7 to RAMCCAN.
Some patches have instances where the bodytype (col. H) and muscletext (col. I) are changed for the player. I think it adds more detail to the specific player so it will look closer to the actual person.
When you are done editing, add the .ebo, .fsh, and .big files to the sgsm folder. Now you should be able to see a portrait for that rookie and his new look when you play the game.
P.S. for the PLAYERPKG and ID7 columns, the data is the first 2 letters of the first name and the last 5 of the last name (ex. ANBOGUT, DEWILLI, GEGREEN). If the person has less than 5 letters in the last name, put in a space so it will be 7 characters (ex. CHPAUL_, SEMAY__, CHFRYE__)
