Update player hairstyles and faces!

Bruh, I don’t know about you lot, but this is driving me crazy.

 

I’ve been on this since FIFA 23 → EAFC 24 → EAFC 25, and now we’re looking at EAFC 26 and some players STILL have the exact same faces and hairstyles from years ago.

 

Like I play with Chelsea, and half the squad looks like they’re frozen in time. Guys who changed their look seasons ago are still rocking the same outdated trim. And it’s not just Chelsea—this is across so many clubs.

 

How are we supposed to get hyped about “authentic football” when the players on screen don’t even match what we see week in, week out on TV? It kills the immersion. You wanna feel like you’re controlling today’s stars, but instead you’re staring at a copy-paste from years back.

 

EA puts so much into promos, packs, and Ultimate Team gimmicks, but can’t even get player faces and hairstyles updated properly. It honestly makes me not wanna play sometimes.

 

Like, if Konami/PES could pull off frequent face scans back in the day, how is it that in 2026 we’re still stuck with outdated haircuts and generic faces? EA needs to fix this.

 

What do you guys think—does this ruin the experience for you too, or am I just being picky?

  • Hell Yeah. EA should immediately update face and hairstyles. Below are some examples,

    1. Szobosalai
    2. Darwin
    3. Julian Alvarez 
    4. Gordon(newcastle)
    5. Woltemade
    6. Ekitike

    For icons and heroes too, they should have a younger version card. The zlatan  card looks hideous, they should have his face from Inter/Barca. He looked so cool.

    Also EA please add Recoba card as a hero.

    I don’t get how MOD people customise are way better representation of the updated faces than the actual EA COMPANY! it’s like it’s shown that it’s doable. So why aren’t they doing it
