I had the idea of modding NHL 07 just now, but almost immediately realized why I never went through with it earlier: Imported player portriats should not look like this image of "Greg Edwards" a fictitious player I made up. Instead, they should look like this image of Reto von Arx.
All the default images are 64x128, which is the intended size of that image of Edwards.
They act like this in NHL 08 and NHL 09 as well.
The only way I've gotten them the way they should be is by making them 128x128, which is not the intended size of the NHL 2005-07 portraits.
How can I get my custom 64x128 portraits (see Edwards again) to display properly in-game (see von Arx again) without forcing myself to make 128x128 portraits?
