New faces

Can someone explain what’s going on with Manager career mode. The new patch finally added real faces for lots of players which is great. But in my existing career save their faces are still the old generic ones and the new scanned faces only appear if I start a completely new career.
Seriously why do I have to create a new career just to see updated faces? I’ve already spent a lot of time building my team and developing players and now I’m basically forced to restart if I want the updated visuals, this doesn't make sense. why can’t EA fix this? It feels really unfair to long term career mode players.

    I agree with you. Not that I'm an IT expert or anything, but I would be surprised, if there wasn't an easy fix for this.

    Yeah I get what you mean I’ve been playing career mode for years too so I know it’s always been like this. But honestly it’s still super frustrating. Every year I hope EA finally changes it especially now that they’re updating player faces more often. It just feels wrong to spend hours in a save only to miss out on new face scans unless you start over. You’d think in 2025 they’d find a way to refresh models mid-save. It’s not like we’re asking for something crazy.

  • Hate to break it to you, but it's been like this for years. Deep down I think you're also aware of this, if you are a long term career mode player.

    If a player in the game already has a scanned or customized face, his face will be updated in existing saves. If it's a generic face, and a scan is added to the game, sadly you need to restart your career, before the scan replaces the generic one.

    I wish the same as you. That updated faces would somehow apply for existing saves too. But it's a shout a lot of us have made for a decade or more, and nothing has happened so far...
