Its only because CA doesnt support importing images for sponsors logo due to censoring issues , BA being a small team that issue exits.
Fair enough logo's aren't that important but a nice to have addition to have and if we can't due to licensing then that's fine .
Also the face gen can also support image based face models probably in next iteration its not a big issue getting likeness of players.
IF and only IF they do add this feature then that's great =] !
Also professional dev's however good they are going to do the model only once unlike a CA author who will change Dhoni's or KP's hairstyle if they change.
However good professionals are they only really need to do it once and in almost all cases their stock model will always be better then ours that's why they are professionals champ ... It's their job ...
I rather have a real life model of Chris Gayle ( or other players) that looks like him(them) opposed to having a Chris Gayle who looks like snoop dogg / Monty Panesar who's hair I can change time to time .
But like I said a many times already on this thread .... I like Cricket Academy keep this tool + but I want the licensing done .
Eg. Look at Fifa they are all licensed and also they have added a similar tool called creation center ... Also they update everything each week , stats and etc of all the players ... SO licensing and Cricket academy can work side by side !!!
So my point is pro dev's can give us a licensed modeled players at the start of the game ... And with CA we can edit the hair or download the update to keep it like real life .... and if something goes wrong then press the reset default button which gets all the players back to factory default .
Leave CA look at the models done for C07 without proper tools they are far superior to what EA professionals created.
Off course ... EA Cricket 07 was being made like in 06 that's 8 years ago ...
Technology evolves champ !
And who ever did the modelling I'm sure are programmers or knowledge/background on the topic and did it in their spare times to improve the game...
Most of it was being done in India , Bangladesh , Pakistan to resell the game with the updated patches ..
Eg. EA cricket PEPSI IPL ...
I know for a fact because I went to Bangladesh and I went shopping and I saw these patched games being sold under these names.
But there were people like you and me playing EA07 and MOD'ing the game and updating it and adding mods year after year to improve the game and give us a authentic feel to it .
Again technology evolves ! So each year the mods got better and better with newer programs ...
Give EA Cricket Academy now and see what they can do and then you have a case

It had the names, but as far as I could tell it didn't actually have the licenses for them. Neither did EA - which is why you had fake logos or national flags for most teams - and the official team logos for only a few in the EA games and none in BLC99.
I'm not sure of the circumstances - maybe @
Chief might have an idea what was going on back then.
EA had licenses ...
EA 2004 :
Full licenses from the PCB, ECB, NZ Cricket and the South African Cricket team.
EA 2005 : Licences: Australia, NZ, South Africa and England fully licensed
EA 2007 :
EA Sports lost the licensing for most of the teams for Cricket 07. Only Australia, England, South Africa and New Zealand licensed player names and kits. All other team names are generic, however can be edited in the Team Management option or with a roster.

I don't consider cricket a major sport because only a handful of countries play it. If you take them out, I'm pretty sure the number of people playing the sport would be negligible.
You still haven't told me what 5 sports you consider more major then cricket ???
Excluding Football ( Soccer ) !!!
