Welcome to the EAFC starhead thread!Here is a link to some very useful spreadsheets from @Anonymous https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Starhead-database/m-p/13000209#M12464Using the above link you will be able to keep in the loop with everything starhead related.

The removal of the pre-match cutscenes is an absolute joke. These lot don't have a * clue.

Hopefully with this new era we see the full rescan treatment for the Premier League, La Liga & Bundesliga.. Wish they’d scan the EFL Championship too

These forums are terrible think EA know what they are doing by getting rid of the other as they can’t be shown up that the starhead are the biggest thread on there forums

Electronic Arts and FIFA partnership ends: new opportunities or missed opportunities?The long love affair between EA Sports and FIFA has come to an end in 2023. "EA FC 24," the new name for the FIFA series, is just over a month away from release. Now that the astronomical license fees are out of the way, the question of where EA will spend the money and how it will improve the quality of the game is accelerating.The license fee situationThe license fee that EA Sports pays for FIFA is not known to be an exact number, but it is known to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars. In this situation, where this money is spent is not just a matter of business; it's a matter of how it will affect the quality of the games, the user experience, and soccer fandom.Expansion of women's soccer leaguesOne noticeable change is the continued investment in women's soccer leagues and players. How do we view this? On the one hand, it's a good move to increase diversity and inclusion. Women's soccer is booming, and so is the interest in it. However, these decisions are not without controversy.Women's soccer vs men's soccerFIFA started out as a men's game, and many of the people who love it are centered around men's soccer, and the majority of people who actually play the game are men. In this situation, it has been argued that to continue to invest in women's soccer is to impose a semi-forced politics that does not reflect user opinion.Facial scanning and game qualityThere are over 10,000 players in FIFA games, but most of them have simple faces that look nothing like their real-life counterparts, and less than half of them have actually had their faces scanned. If they're saving money on licensing fees, shouldn't they be paying more attention to this? The number of clubs that are partnered is high, but their stadiums and players are not represented, so it's fair to say that they are simply "partnered". Also, players want a more realistic experience as a soccer game, not a card odds adjustment, and that's what EA should be providing.The Ultimate Team odds issueSome have suggested that the addition of female soccer players was introduced to reduce card odds in Ultimate Team mode. This is of course unconfirmed, but if true, it's a very controversial issue.Bottom line.The elimination of license fees presents a new opportunity for EA. However, it remains to be seen how this opportunity will be utilized. It's not just a question of money, it's a question of what EA values and how they will communicate that value to their users. Expanding women's soccer may be a welcome change, but it shouldn't come at the expense of the existing user experience.If the licensing fees are no longer a burden, perhaps it's time for EA to invest that money into improving the quality of the game and supporting not only the women's soccer league, but also the men's league and its players.

Game is an utter jokeCutting the Champions league intro for those meaningless cut scenes 🤦♂️no new faces at Köln, Stuttgart, Bochum…

My guess is FC25 will bring Ligue 1 stadiums and a Premier League rescan.
Surely we’ll see stadiums for the Serie A teams that received scans as well?

- Torino
- Fiorentina
- Bologna
- Sassuolo
- Lecce
- Empoli
- Verona
- Salernitana
Ligue 1 / 6-8 scans per team
- Lens
- Rennes
- Nice
- Montpellier
- Reims
- Brest
- Toulouse
- Nantes
- Lorient
- Strasbourg
- Le Havre
- Metz
- Clermont
- Monaco?

Not much to go on but the fact Udinese + Lille both received stadiums suggest this will happen. Can’t see EA just adding them randomly.

Bundesliga

- Heidenheim
- Darmstadt
That’s a lot of stadiums!

@SambaFutbol22 I'm sure we will see this faces in eafc25. I hope the Bundesliga is rescanned. You are right, Frankfurt, Bochum, now Union are scanned. When ea have scanned the Bundesliga it was in October and the video from the Frankfurt scan was in October. So we will see what's happening.

What’s the likelihood EA would have scanned Bournemouth again this season?

Couple of players there that would make great scans but imo it seems unlikely.

- Kerkez
- Hamed Traore
- Zabarnyi
-Ouattara

Leipzig and EA became partners in July 2023.

Assuming the Bundesliga hasn’t been re-scanned (fully) it may be possible they were scanned this season. generic Šeško in #FC25 would be 😞

Overall EA has spent a lot of time all over Germany in the past year for player/stadium scans (Heidenheim, Köln, Frankfurt, Bochum, Hamburg, Gelsenkirchen, Berlin apparently for Union)

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.

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.
