yah have at it. i have no qualms with anyone modifying my faces if they can do something with them. here's the original psd for the texture too. not sure if it will help at all since it's old school and my blending techniques have gotten better since i made him. seriously, you're on a roll. you're getting guys that i was never able to. you should take a shot at vince coleman, tim raines or randy myers if you have any decent pics. 0000.rar

wow, nice work bud. you just checked off three of the guys on my list that have plagued me for years.

either you're not making the changes correctly, or you're playing in a current season. changes to the roster aren't reflected in game. you have to start a new season. when you make the changes, go check the player in an exhibition game.

well then the only solution is to make all uniforms into bikinis.

well technically you could mod all the bodies too, but then everyone needs to be a female...or if you want it interesting, get rid of one of the body types and mold that into a female figure.

no girls allowed it could be done, but you just have to make the face. i don't recall anyone ever trying though.

absolutely looks better. still may try moving some of these parts as you can seen in the side by side. his neck could be thinner too. it would give the illusion of it being longer. it looks a little too muscular for his frame.

that would be the challenge to all of this. if you change the rules, it's no longer the same game.

i know how you feel. i've tried to make him before too. here's a few photos that might help: http://cdn.bleacherreport.net/images_root/slides/photos/000/680/833/randy-johnson-1-sized_display_image.jpg?1296479014 http://claypatrickmcbride.com/Artists/22254/box_800_495/8142009112053AM_11.jpg

haha! i love it! the texture is pretty good. i'm just warning you ahead of time that he's a tough one though. you have to do a lot of modelling to get the right look because of how unique he is. he's a really tall skinny guy for his size. his neck needs to be skinny and longer. the chin needs to be a lot more narrow and much less prominent. the jaws need to square out much more too. he's got a really skinny and point nose too, kind of like a beak. lastly the key to his resemblance is in the eyes, especially with his scowl. eyes need to be smaller, and closer together to get that look. it won't be fun, but good luck with it!

i see your points, but i think a lot of us also have the mentality that when we share our work, it should be free for anyone to use otherwise it's not really sharing. there's no perfect system, but once we start trying to control others that use the work that we share, it kind of defeats the purpose. when i release work i've done, i do it because i'm hoping someone else might enjoy using it. if they do, that's great. that's who i release my work for. when we start making rules for the exceptions or those we consider that might abuse the system, then we start making rules based on fear and we limit those that we can reach with what we're doing. i'm ok if no one said thank you if it means that those who want to use the mods, can in fact do so. but that's just me. i am able to look past the frustration that may also be involved, because if i really wanted to, there's a billion things i could gripe about.

really nice work man. ortiz is a lot harder to get right than people realize. his eyes especially are something i am never satisfied with.

patience folks. he'll update it when he gets time.

exactly. and it's no knock on jeter at all. but when i'm considering guys for this team, i'm looking at guys that are considered one of the top handful of players in the game in their respective generations. as good as jeter's been, he just never reached that level. quite frankly, if you look at some of the standard defensive stats like fielding percentage, errors, putouts, assists, etc, his numbers are comparable to Ozzie Smith. but it's completely absurd to consider his defense anywhere on the same planet as the wizard. now i know i like to have fun knocking his D, but just looking at this from an unbias point of view, it's mainly when we're looking at it in comparison with the other greats. but when the guy was coming up through the system, i remember being impressed with his defense too. and i'm not saying it's bad, just not as good as i thought it was. do you guys know what i mean when i say that when you watch some guys hit the ball, you just know it's a homerun without having to see it land? when they built safeco field, a lot of those hits seemed to fool me more than usual because of the field. i don't know how many times i've seen a hit off the bat thinking it's clearly a homerun only to see it barely make the warning track. my point with this is that i started seeing something similar with jeter's range after awhile. i don't know how many times i've seen grounders hit towards that side of the field where i think to myself it's an out, and how many times i was surprised to see him not get to it. at first i thought nothing of it until we started getting better ways to evaluate defense with more advanced statistics. those stats time and again show him significantly at the bottom, which is very poor for a position where you really need someone who is able to cover a large amount of ground. numbers are never perfect, but it should say something very clear when he ranks so low. if it was somewhere in the middle or in the upper half, it wouldn't mean. but the fact that it's so low has got to make you at the very least wonder. frankly i really don't understand why it is for jeter. they guy's decently fast and is athletic, but he simply doesn't have the range of his peers. we don't really ever get to watch the tapes that allow us to analyze this, so it's hard to see. is it because he doesn't get a good jump on it? i don't know. maybe some of you who have seen more of his plays might be able to tell me.

hey these disagreements are what makes this interesting. but let me have at it: come on now, don't use the old "if you've watched his career" argument. believe it or not, yes i have watched baseball before, and others have too. but using gold gloves as a comparison is absolutely ridiculous no matter how you want to justify it. there's so many flaws in that it's not even funny. there's nothing solid about jeter's defense. there never was. he was passable as a defensive shortstop only because of his strengths offensively. you're talking about the shortstop position, not 1B. this is historically a position that is very strong defensively much like 1B ranks high offensively. comparing jeter's defense to the greats at that position over the years isn't even close. if you want to compare fairly it's mediocre compared to his peers at best. this isn't really that big of a knock against the guy because SS is so competitive defensively. it is what it is, and he's near the bottom of the list defensively amongst SS's. raving about his defensive is just stretching reality well beyond what it really is. if you're a SS like him where defense isn't that great, you need to put up ungodly offensive numbers to be considered head and shoulders above your peers. jeter is again not that guy. his offensive numbers have just been really good and consistent. comparing his offensive stats to Ripken apple to apples isn't the same either. we're talking about putting this guy on the all time great list, and yet he has never even been ranked the best SS in the game in his own era. Ripken and Ozzie were the two best in their time. Ripken had far and away the best offensive numbers for a shortstop. no one came even close to him during his era. not to mention this guy is the friggin iron man. jeter's offensive numbers are great for a SS even during his era, but they were never head and shoulders above his peers. there were a lot of great offensive shortstops during his time too, and many of them had far superior offensive seasons than him. again his biggest strength has been consistency, and no one can take that away from him. he's been a really good hitter. but it's laughable to consider him the second best SS. if you want to just strictly talk best shortstops of all time, there's no way he ranks above Wagner, Arky Vaughn, Joe Cronin, Ozzie Smith, or Alex Rodriguez. i would also easily add Barry Larkin to that list. so adding him to a 25 man roster of the all time greats? not even close. again, i picked Ripken since he can fill in at 3B too, otherwise i would've gone with someone else not Jeter. Henderson: yeah i can see what you're saying, and what I said probably overhyped his D a bit. but the overall package is there. but using fielding percentage to rank the defense is ridiculous. it only tells one small portion of the whole story and is pretty well agreed upon as a ridiculous stat to decide who is better defensively. but yes i agree with you i'm missing a back up 2B. i've said it many times which is why i was back and forth with adding Jackie Robinson. let's stop beating that dead horse. but given the farly inferior history of offense at the position, i sacrificed it for better OF's and Pujols. not really a problem as i see it. Pujols is the only righty at 1B i had and i'd rather have his bat. pretty much expect to have more outfielders seeing as it's a pretty competitive position. Musial can fill in at 1B or outfield as well, besides that there's no way i'm not including him. i have no regrets of including the other OF'ers. no need to bother arguing Bonds or Braun. i'm not going to bother acknowledging either one. Walker was awesome, but he also greatly benefitted from his era and his ballpark. Lofton's not even close. there are several other CF'ers that would go ahead of him in a heartbeat. Gwynn...yeah i get it. would love to have him, but the guys i picked were simply better. again, many great OF'ers aren't on here. Maddux: pretty easy for others to knock him for doing those types of things, but ask yourself how many other of those pitchers had a career like him again? i watched just about every game he pitched and i know exactly what you're talking about. here's one other way to interpret it: the guy was a friggin genius. his peers regard him as one of the best pitching minds of all time, and his career completely backs it up. knowing your strengths and limitations is a skill, and not many knew them as well as he did. that's what allowed him to exploit batters so easily. even the innings pitched stats show support this. he was ridiculously efficient at what he did. he pitched in a time where there are five man rotations and significant innings limits; and the fact that he pitched "so few innings" and yet still had 108 CG's in spite of that. even if you want to spin the other way, that doesn't exclude the fact that he's easily one of the top three pitchers of his time, and that's a pretty huge feat given how good the opposing offense was. because after those three guys, there's no one even close to them. taking himself out of the game because he thinks he's reached his limit doesn't change his accomplishments.

at some point though, you guys are gonna have to throw yours up to dissect ;)

you're right it's not a debate. Ripken is actually considered one of the better SS's of all time. Jeter's never even been the best SS of his time and hasn't even always been the best SS on his team. there are a handful of SS's that were better than Jeter throughout his career. he's just always been a consistently good hitter, which has helped him to accumulate enough counting stats to put him in the top ten. the fact that you're even hinting at rating their defense based on anything remotely close to how many gold gloves they won says all there needs to be said. you might as well compare their defense on how many teen choice awards they won. jeter has no business being on the list. ripken gives you much better options off the bench than jeter. jeter only plays SS and has done so with very suspect defense. i'm not saying Ripken is the greatest SS of all time, but he's up there and provides versatility off the bench since he can actually play something other than SS. again comparing numbers from different generations. Jeter still played his career in an offensively stacked era which has inflated his career numbers. It's not even close. Koufax, Seaver, Gibson, Carlton, Spahn, Johnson, Mathewson...they all played in eras that were significantly more favorable for pitchers. all of them. there are three guys during the juiced era that dominated: Johnson, Pedro, and Maddux. I'm taking Johnson over the other lefty's, and Maddux simply because of the fact that he was that good. all of the those guys put up numbers that were better, worse, or comparable to Maddux, which is why they're in the discussion. But seeing as Maddux had even a better career than Pedro, and I consider Pedro the number one pitcher of all time, no way Maddux gets left off. you compare all of those guys to the peers of their respective generations and you can see how good Maddux was. again, apple to oranges. both have pros and cons, but Eck's my guy. I loved Goose and would have no problem including him. but in the ninth inning, there's two guys I want. the other is Mo. yes, this is all the more reasons why I picked Henderson. none of these guys spent their careers pinch hitting unless it was in the twilights of their careers. that's a really skewed stat to look at. i picked him for everything he gives: gets on base, great defense, speed. i can pick plenty of outfielders that provide power, but his versatility is what sets him apart. no one in the history of the game is going to give you better base running than him. those leadoff homeruns are great but you can only hit a leadoff homerun once a game. that's not reason enough to start him over the other OF's--he doesn't belong in the starting lineup with the rest of the OF'ers that are available but there is definitely room for him on the team. Pujols isn't a 3b. he's on there for being a great hitter, a good defender, and a RH option at 1B. Rose I can understand but his career wasn't so great that he absolutely deserves to be there. there's a pretty elite class of players that get that kind of nod--he's just not one of them. the good thing about Rose is also the problem: he never excelled at any position, thus makes it difficult to compare him to others. his main strength was his hitting and there's plenty to make up for it in this lineup. again, i can easily swap him or Robinson with Pujols.

I see what you guys are saying, but when I put mine together I'm also considering other factors like depth, balance, defense, speed, etc. I wasn't just looking at the most offensively dominant players. As far as I'm concerned, the no-argument about them guys are on there. If you bring up the topic of greatest players of all time, Ruth, Aaron, Williams, Mays, Mo, Eck, and Wagner are automatics. There's on question about those guys. There's no one else that's so greatly superior at what they did that there's absolutely no question about it. You have to remember all the greats that aren't even on here as well, a list that includes guys like Foxx, Cobb, Cy Young, Satchel, Clemente, Mantle, Yaz, etc. Frankly the only tough choice I still am considering is having Jackie Robinson rather than Pujols because of the flexibility for defense and speed. Only reason I went with the ladder was because he was a RH option at 1B that was far superior offensively to others of his generation and also plays great defense. As far as I'm concerned, Jeter has no business being on an all time great list. I can't see any time during his career where he was the best SS in the game let alone being head and shoulders above the rest. We can argue back and forth about his defense, but I see him being as great as he was because he was a consistent hitter--and that's it. There are several other SS's I would still take over him. Ripken gives me flexibility for the infield off the bench and a solid bat. Maddux no doubt belongs on there. He absolutely dominated his era, and this is not just compared to his peers. He pitched in an era that so inflated offensively and made those guys look like fools. I see your points on other lefty's, but as far as I see, the top LHP are on this team. Someone's going to get left out, and yes it's close. But Johnson, Lefty, and Koufax are the best. As for the bullpen, I'm a full believer in having a balanced one, not just the best closers of all time. There are plenty of options for guys who can close, those that can handle lefty's, and those that can stretch out in long relief and spot start as needed. Goose was great, and I would have no problem with him being on the team. But when you've got Mo AND Eck, there's no need for Goose. Smoltz gives you a solid third option to close, set up, and go long. DH is my call. Whether everyone agrees with it or not, it's apart of the game. I wouldn't pay to come see these guys play to see a pitcher hit. I want to see the best hitters battling it out against the best pitchers. With the depth the OF will obviously have, you can rotate whoever you wish through there, but the guys that are starting are there. I would probably put Williams there now that I think about it, but that doesn't change much. There's plenty of power to put in the OF. Coming off the bench, I wanted to see some more speed, versatility and defense. Rickey's the man for that. Yes he was a great leadoff hitter, but that wasn't all he was. You only leadoff off once a game, and there was a great deal more to his career than that. Rose was a tough one because of his versatility. There's nothing to argue there, but those were supposed to be tough choices. I've still got every role I need covered. I love Griffey, and that's an understatement. But push come to shove, he played in a hitter's era. He also greatly benefited from hitting in the Kingdome (though it also hurt him). Despite that he had a great career and should be on there, and gives a tremendous amount of speed, LF option, power, and defense off the bench. No way I can put him above Mays. Mays is still the gold standard and no one's been good enough for there to be no argument. Mays was the man. You have to beat the man, not just get close or equal.
