About This File
So, who plays for the Tigers these days?
No, that guy's injured.
That guy? Broken hand.
Oh that guy? Yeah, knee exploded, I.R.
The batting champ? Check Henry Ford Hospital, room 226.
The guy with a 104-mph fastball? The bodypart thing that holds his elbow together snapped. Twang!
Don't even ask about the bullpen.
If you have loaded a recent Detroit Tigers roster, you may be forgiven for thinking MLB went on strike again. No. But we do have a lot of new faces, and with my mod, all of the fresh new faces will actually have, you know, faces.
BTW - the "Rookie" and stuff on there was added in Photoshop. It's not in the mod.
The portrait files and accompanying roster file include every portrait uploaded to this site (minus some minor league Pirates and Aroldis Chapman, because he is not a Major League ballplayer), plus a few others that I modified on my own (mostly Tigers, but I made a few trade deadline picture changes). If the white rings around some of my files bothered you before, they are gone now, for those I saw at least.
I tried it with a franchise (with roster management on auto) and it seemed to work, but I will not support this file's use with Franchises or My Player, so don't bother asking.
I will try to continue to update the portrait file with the rosters as the year progresses, but the pain-in-the-butt-itude of doing so may prevent me.
Step 1: BACK UP YouR FILES
Step 2: Portrait.iff and portrait.cdf go in your MLB 2K10 folder, most likely C:\Program Files\2K Sports\MLB 2K10
Step 3: Roster.ROS goes in your saves folder under Application Data. For Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\[YOUR USER NAME]\Application Data\2K Sports\Major League Baseball 2K10\Saves
I used TyWiggins's editor to enter the players whose portraits didn't already appear. If you wish to do the same (e.g. if you want your ALREADY STARTED dynasty to use the portraits you just downloaded), here are the added players and their corresponding digits:
