@kiesch86it’s impossible to try and understand which faces are added and which aren’t.
With Thorsby and now Schäfer it’s clear EA scanned Union last season but didn’t really bother with it.
Schäfer is probably the Acuña of FIFA 23 (didn't arrive till FC24)
Same with Köln - only a few scans. If we’re lucky the balance of these along with Frankfurt/Bochum will probably come with the launch of FC25.
Or maybe EA has scanned the Bundesliga again. They haven’t since 21/22. It badly needs it. Too many quality players are generic.
- Führich
- Stiller
- Beier
- Šeško
- Röhl
- Palacios
- Adamu
- Itakura
- Vagnoman
- Zetterer
To name just a few.
On Ligue 1 I’ve given up hope on it now and I wouldn’t read into the tweet about the stadiums.
it would be great but I can’t see EA doing the Serie A treatment + Ligue 1 treatment in the same cycle.
But maybe that’s why some of the Serie A scans came out early. All EA really has to do now is stadiums and design faces for left over players (Samardzic et al) assuming the Konami teams stay as they are and they haven’t bothered with the promoted teams (Genoa et al) from this year 🤷♂️
To add to the Ligue 1 theory. Presumably PSG is scanned due to Enrique but we haven’t seen PSG scans and in past games they’ve been scanned and added during the game cycle. With Lille we haven’t seen scans yet but EA could’ve visited Lille around the same time as PSG scans. That could point to something with Ligue 1 as we haven’t seen scans for two teams that in theory should have been scanned.
Having said that FC24 at launch was a complete joke.
So low expectations are necessary.
If FC25 gets further Serie A attention + Bundesliga additions it will easily be better than FC24 at launch.
It makes sense since the Bundesliga and Premier League have extended with ea. It was always the case that when a league extended with ea, that league was completely scanned the following year. I agree with you completely, I don't understand why only some of the teams are always added. We know that the entire teams are scanned, including a lot of young players, and yet only 8-10 scans are inserted. This is logic that we will never understand. When it comes to ligue1 1, we'll be surprised; we didn't expect Serie A this year either, even if there are still a lot of players missing. However, keep in mind that Ligue1 now has McDonald's as a sponsor, we don't know if anything has been agreed yet. Ea has also surprised us many times. However, it was very strange that ligue1 tweeted that all stadiums were coming and then a short time later only the Lille stadium was shown. The scans are still missing here too. I'm just wondering when Celtic and Rangers will finally come.
alteafdy given up on 24, for 25 I’d take a ligue 1 scan (like la liga) if I had to pick between that and the normal yearly scans they USED to do about 5 years ago for Prem and the other updates they did to key Europe teams etc. if I had to pick one over other that is.
There are some possibilities, Maybe the next update will be the last one that delivers news, as there are many retained faces that would add a lot to the Euro DLC, so possibly the next update would add some late faces of European customs, and in the midst of this we could possibly have clues as to whether Ligue 1 has been scrutinized for the next game, since we could possibly see some of these faces early in the Euro DLC, As has happened in the past before being added to the first Bundesliga sweep, Sancho's face arrived in the 2018 World Cup DLC. Second possibility is that perhaps from this moment on we will only see Estupiñán, and scans focused on Latin America as there have already been rumors that Boca Juniors have been re-scanned and possibly River Plate too, and and hopefully we would see something for Euro DLC, like the face of the Serbian boy from Udinese.And the third and final possibility, (the most realistic when it comes to EA), only a few legacy faces have arrived that are missing and we won't see any new additions, not even Estupiñán's.
