It’s possible but can you see EA just adding Torino scans + stadium or just scans without the stadium?
The lack of new stadiums rules out Serie A getting the treatment and I think EA will hold out for that.
The common thing is to get the scans before the stadium, it was like this with Porto and Benfica, and the Premier ones. But we all know that EA works randomly, sometimes the 2 can arrive together, sometimes the faces first and the stadium later, and sometimes it happens like it happened with Boca, that the stadium arrived first and then the scans.But we don't even know if EA will release something from Series A for this EAFC. Keep your expectations low as we don't know anything about EA.Everyone expected the face of Exequiel Palacios, Ben White and Romero, but FIFA 23 passed and we didn't see any of that.I'm still waiting for the faces of the Millonarios players, who were already in FIFA 20,and so far nothing, I lost faith that I will see them in FIFA 23, and I feel that I will not buy EAFC anytime soon.
I've already pre ordered the ultimate edition because Fifa is the only game I play. I used to also play PES but Efootball doesn't yet have master league so I can't play that game which leaves EAFC my only option for a football sim. As much as I hate EA expecially when it comes to the lack of career mode upgrades and lack of face scans (expecially when they now have 5 scanning rigs) EAFC is still going to be my only option. I just hope they at least give us some partner team scans, La Liga, Premiership. Anything else would just be a bonus but those need to be the minimim.

you guys just keep setting yourselves up for disappointment. why would you still throw money at that company? what are you actually paying that extra money for?Early access. To get it a week early. I buy 1 game per year. I'm more than happy to drop an extra £20 to play a week early. I wait patiently for months through the build up. When beta drops I make lists of all the new scanned players and managers and start working out which teams I'll be able to do a career mode with, which players I'll sign etc.
Last year I had about 4 career modes planned out from manager, team, players, signings, formation, tactics etc before the game was even released. On release I did my first career mode. Fully scanned Leicester using the Porto manager and bought some of the best Portuguese players like Otavio along with some other newly scanned players like Chalobah, Simaken, Lacroix etc. That career mode followed by the pre planned Laverkusen, Leipzig and Dourtmond was some of the best career modes I've done this year. Getting to at least season 3 on every one of those career modes before getting bored and starting new.
This year will be no different. Will I be disappointed about some players not being scanned or a lack of career mode updates. Definitely. Will I still get super excited about playing the game. Of course. From beta I'll spend the next month going through my lists of scanned players and working out which managers should manage which teams, which teams have the most scans/make the most exciting career modes, which players I'll sign in the first window, what tactics to use for that team and probably spend hours and hours looking through videos of each scan to find which ones look best and which aren't great so I know which players to use most. Last year Simaken was my favourite scan. The red on the ends of the braids with the sweatband on his head made for a great scan.
