Ozzie Albies Cyberface Mystery

[dennisjames71]

Hello All,

I've never seen this cyberface issue with MLB 2K12 but I think it's rooted with the Ozzie Albies cyberface in scottybilly's Atlanta Braves Cyberface Pack from February 2017.  The Ozzie face seems to "link" to other players on the Braves.  For example, I recently installed Jed's Sean Newcomb cyberface (#9543) and scottybilly's Ozzie Albies face (#9710).  I also verified in Reditor II that either of those cyberface ID #s are not assigned to multiple players; and they weren't.

Anyway, both faces look fine in the EDIT PLAYER section as seen here:

 

However, when I start a game with Sean Newcomb as the starting pitcher, Ozzie's face is on Newcomb's body:

And when I pan over to the real Ozzie on the field at his shortstop position, he looks normal with correct  face.

Of course, I can assign both player's face to an ID# of 0; but I want to use both cyberfaces.  In over 6 years, I have never seen this happen before.

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

DENNIS

I already wrote about a similar issue. In my case it was Severino and Judge with Severino's face (in Edit Player in the game everything is ok, in game or even at batting practice Judge has Severino's face if both are on the 25 men MLB roster). My take is that the game has problems with ID's higher then the default 9279 (or how high was it) but I would like to hear opinions from experienced modders.

That's very interesting and I never thought of that.  Thank you.  I may just search out a couple of retired players (below #9279) and assign Newcomb and Ozzie their (lower) cyberface ID #s and see if that solves things.  I will definitely report back with my results.

Ok, so this is irritating.  I took rictor's advice and used face ID #s for retired players (lower than #9279) and assigned them to Sean Newcomb and Ozzie Albies.  I gave Newcomb David Ross' #1772 and Ozzie Paul Konerko's #623.  I then gave Konerko and Ross a zero for their face ID.  Again, every thing looked great in the EDIT PLAYER section but I got this in-game with Newcomb starting (at pitcher) and you see the real Ozzie Albies behind him at his shortstop position looking normal:

Unfortunately I also checked into rictor's issue with Aaron Judge and Luis Severino and I got the same problem.  

In this case too, Aaron Judge himself looks fine but his head is on Severino's body.  I also gave Severino and Judge lower face ID #s.  It's weird in both cases; the position player's head is superimposed and assigned to the pitcher's body.  And in either case, this is a pain, because there should be some simple explanation or solution but I cannot figure it out.

Yeah. Tried it myself as well, using both Roster Editor and REDitor II and it doesn't solve the problem 😕

 

Don't have other ideas what's possibly wrong.

dennisjames71, I have had the same problem and I have solved it only by using a player from F.A. with an AppID that does not repeat itself, that is unique.

You are a genius Karelaf.  That worked beautifully.  I just entered in the the data for Judge, Newcomb, Severino, and Albies into retired Free Agents.  I assigned the regular portrait #s and used the lower numbered cyberface ID #s for each player.  For example, for Aaron Judge, I used his portrait # of 9578 and Jim Thome's cyberface ID # of 1155.  Again, I just overwrote Thome's data with Judge's in the Roster Editor.  Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

Ok, tell me on your roster you have fixed the manager id.

I've had the same issue with another scottybilly cyberface. Keone Kela's face appears on multiple players. I'll try that free agent trick

The problem with the duplicate cyberfaces is because this roster is edited using CLONE in reditor ii...as you see the default roster os only 3371 players.. while the one we using is 4565... if you clone a player like aaron judge and the one that you clone is ozzie albies for example..then it has judge cyberface....   hope this will help....
