I complained a few time that japan was all white guys, but also blondes and gingers were/are way to frequent. Finally they added some brown skins but still too many blonds and gingers.

My personal opinion is that the original graphics design was set up to represent the US population. And maybe even teh original designer didn't set it up so well. I'm not sure how many shades of hair and skincolor there are, but the %s probably are/were hard to set up to represent Asian or African people without totally excluding whites. There are white Africans in most of the African nations in reality, but the random generator is probably difficult to work with for the current BB staff to generate accurate %s.

If you look at the faces though its also really only representative of caucasians. Asian/African features just aren't represented. May not have been enough skill in the original artist's toolkit to draw the people of the world.

4 hues of skin, 4 hair colors. The skin looks like done from different colored patches sometimes that's because each face is complemented up from predesined face parts i.e. numerous versions of eyes, noses, eyebrows, hair types (when we are at it, that could be revisioned too, e.g. too numerous mohawkesque styles), mouth, shape of head,...

Loook around there is an old thread buried somewhere about that with a link to creator and attempts to nba players lookalikes.

Hi,

I am a new user from Senegal and this bug is the first thing i noticed in this game.

In my starting team, i had 12 black players with different faces. So first thing, they have many black faces and having a realistic and various database of african players is not a problem.

Then, the draft came and i noticed that all drafted players were white. Then, i went to take a look at the different african national teams : mainly white players...

For me, political or racial reasons have no place here. It is only a matter of realism. Users should be able to identify themselves with their teams. If this bug was fixed, it would help to improve the number of new users in new nations.

I am not a racist. I didn't mentionned it but i am a white french guy living in Senegal and i want my senegalese players to be black.
