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#M12464
Using the above link you will be able to keep in the loop with everything starhead related.
The link above is a spreadsheet with new and updated scanned players on. There might be a couple missing but it's pretty close to complete.
Very disappointing for scans this year. Only hope is that they add a lot of updates through the cycle
have the beta and have been going through and checking players like Bruno Fernandes and dalot don’t have their strand hair which they did last year. I’m guessing we will see some sort of update. Love la liga scans but surely many more faces need to come because there are a bunch of generic faces. We did loose quite a few faces from transfers in the league aswell
The beta career mode has a very very old build. Players have their overall ratings the same as the very start of Fifa 23. Not even their end of Fifa 23 ratings which I find very strange. Saliba 80 instead of 83 for instance.
I think this is a very old build for the game if I'm being honest. I just hope that means that there's more to come in terms of starheads at release. I know the very first ever Bundesliga scanning session wasn't in the beta at all and was such a good surprise at release. Hoping this is similar.
@jtswfc93 That's my spreadsheet! Thanks for sharing, it's out of date because they screenshotted it instead of using the link to the live document. I have a whole database of starhead related information going back to FIFA 17.
Do we think ligue 1 just leaked that all stadiums are scanned and they are being held back, or was it a typo?
My two cents is that when the FIFA 20 beta initially went live there were no new Bundesliga scans other than Philipp Ochs. Even the Bayern updates + Sule that were added at the end of FIFA 19 were removed...
Furthermore, EA Sports youtube posted the Bundesliga trailer on 19th August 2019, going back through a friend's Instagram the first post of a starhead is the 25th of August 2019, four days later.
Where this is skewed is on the same Instagram there's a photo of the then Malaga manager Juan Muniz on the 17th of August 2018, EA Sports youtube posted the La Liga trailer on the 14th of August 2018.

Definitely an accidental leak, there's such a big difference between announcing ng just Lille's stadium and all the Ligue 1 stadiums.
They've probably scanned the majority of Ligue 1 and they're saving it for next year maybe or the November update.
Well time will tell. I do hope Ligue 1 is in the game, but with the fact that we had 105 stadiums in FIFA 23 and EA state there are 115 stadiums in EAFC24 it seems unlikely. We know Malaga has gone so that leaves 104. We know Wolfsburg and Real Madrid women’s stadiums are in the game which makes 106. We now know Lille is in the game making 107. That leaves 8 stadiums or potentially 9 if the 115 doesn’t account for Luton Town who will almost certainly be added after launch.
With the addition of Lille that leave 14 missing French Ligue 1 stadiums. We could presume that Metz and Le Havre haven’t been scanned yet. So that leaves 12 stadiums (Lens, Rennes, Monaco, Clermont, Nice, Lorient, Reims, Montpellier, Toulouse, Brest, Strasbourg and Nantes). Unless we have lost a few existing stadiums around the world and we get no Celtic, Rangers, Almeria, Elche, Bochum, MLS stadium, Fiorentina, Bologna, Torino etc then it seems almost impossible.
Knowing how EA works I wouldn’t be surprised if we get drip fed Ligue 1 stadiums over the next few years to maximise profits for EA, which they are totally within their rights to do but as a consumer would suck

I feel like if they indeed scanned the entirety of Ligue 1, we are not getting it if not all the stadiums (maybe men's scans as well) in FC24, what works best in their favour is releasing it all for FC25 and announcing that it's a partnership with the Ligue has they've done with Bundesliga and most recently La Liga.
In the end it's all about marketing, they stand nothing significant to gain by drip feeding Ligue 1 content imo when they can do a full drop with scans, stadiums and broadcast package next year or for FC26.
