Do they update roster pics for players throughout the year? Did not want to start my franchise yet unless they do not

Any idea when they will have the headshots of each player updated? Saw Rizzo and Steven Kwan still do not have one.. Definitely a cool realistic feature that makes the game feel more real

Do you think they fix apperences in next patch?

A big reason why people purchase this game is because of the realism feel you get like you are actually playing or in the stadium.. One of the things i have noticed is the headshots on the scoreboard and in the bullpen for pitchers are not fully updated. Some headshots are from past MLB The Show's years ago and some do not even have them. For example Steven Kwan and Oscar Gonzalez were studs for the Guardians last year but their faces on the scoreboard are pictures of their in-game face.. I am not sure how much work this would entail but if you were able to update the 2023 headshots for each team, the presentation would skyrocket..

2. On top of the same issue there is a glitch to where if you send a Big Leaguer to the minors in Franchise Mode and then call him back up his headshot is likely to go away and the game face will show up on screen rather than the headshot.. Sometimes you may get lucky but most of the time it goes away. I would be happy to discuss this in further detail as i have purchased this game since MLB 06 The Show but i just believe if headshots are updated the game feels even more realistic and current than it already does.. Example i always notice is I believe there has yet to be a Headshot for Anthony Rizzo on the Yankees since he moved teams.. These are just thoughts for a true fan who puts money in the game each year Sony and San Diego please give this some thought and patch this if you can! It will make franchise mode so much better!
