lose photo in mygm

I lose players picture when traded(MyGM or My League mode). It gives them cyberbodys and faces for profile.
When exchanging a player, a cyberfair appears instead of a photo

buddy hield in kings cyberface , in pelicans picture. How to fix a photo for a player?

That's supposed to happen, to prevent the player card from looking outdated.

My understanding is that it's possible to assign a new one, but since that's not my area of expertise, I'll have to leave it to someone else to explain how (or conversely, correct me if I'm wrong).

Who else has this problem?

Everyone. Again, it's not a problem. It's by design.

There's also a tutorial on basically every portrait pack page and most major mods on how to fix it...

If you want the portraits to permanently show up in your roster, just open option.ini file in the 2k17 folder and change Qiangzhizhaopian=0 to Qiangzhizhaopian=1.

Ah, that's good to know.

Ah, that's good to know.

You are 100% right though. Its not a problem,its by design to keep the players relevant.

I suppose it's not desirable for everyone though, so it's good to know that there's a simple workaround.
