Unrealistic generated player faces

First I want to preface this topic by stating that this is purely a want and not a need. The gameplay functionality is THE need and it needs to be EA’s #1 priority. That being said, for sim games l...

I couldn’t agree more. Trying to fit the right head to the right body type is super annoying. Some of the faces are straight up horror shows.
Adding body type options was a step in the right direction but like you said, the weights are too limited within each body type. If EA expanded the weight ranges and also put the old editing tools for arms, chest, belly, and legs back we’d be all set for the body’s of created players.
However if the heads remain the same then it’s not much progress.

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. Aside from a sorely needed update for the heads to remove all the 50 year olds. They should at least have the option to select head size so more heads can fit more body types. Just do you don’t have to swap a lot of heads for rookies cause they either have a tiny head on a huge body or the opposite so little guys look like bobble heads.

Usually this annoys me a lot but I got one guy in the draft that was just too funny that I had to keep him, immersion breaking as he is! He is easy to recreate, he’s 5’10, lean body type and head 184. I call him Pinocchio. He looks like a puppet with choker that some girls wear. He’s absolutely crap but I keep him around as my CB5 as a mascot!

About the body types, I agree completely about the body types. Huge step in the right direction but still a lot to be done! The ”lean” body type is a god send that I have been waiting for for YEARS! Shame however that EA thinks that someone with a WR, CB or even a non-bulky QB with that body type can’t possibly be over 180 lbs! In the future I would have loved for EA to have these body types but for each position group specifucally. Maybe you can group in certain positions together of course if their general body types are very similar, like WRs and CBs for example. I think this is needed since it’s been about 20 years or so since EA stopped with height and weight that were relative to eachother, where a if you made your guy taller who would get thinner/less bulky and vice versa. With how it works today they completely independant of eachother. This is an issue with players in the same position like QBs for example. If two guys are 225 lbs they are going to have the same build, it doesn’t matter that one of them is 5’10 and the other one is 6’6.

I don’t want to complain too much since we at least have the body types now and more of them which is a big step in the right direction, however… Not a fan of that ”thin” body type. They just look like average push guys who used to play ball a bit in high school 20 years ago and these days the most exerise they get is mowing the lawn every once in a while.
