Connor Bedard Likeness in NHL 23?

Is there any information on if there is going to be a Connor Bedard likeness added in a future patch? It seems easy enough to roll out in a patch so the new Next Gen MSP player and one of the most electrifying and hyped prospects in HUT is showcased as he should; instead of a generic frankenstein looking dude.

    @EA_AljoSorry, no you don't. Many of your generic created players have terrible looking generic faces. The community can do this better If you let us do this. About real likenesses, read the article. A high percentage was planed to be in at NHL 22. Where are this likenesses ?

    You must be a former user of NHLView haha. We used to take apart the entire NHL players and have a complete list of faces that at least resemble the players somewhat. Now I feel like EA tosses any face on anyone. 

    I could do a list of players that are so completely wrong and have even come across players with the wrong skin tone so I know EA is bad at faces haha.

    One thing that could be done is have them open up the customization settings like they had in previous games. I had the whole league juiced up with relevant faces, hair, and beards.


    I’ve been saying this for years an years and always get the feedback of EA saying some BS about it somehow effects online. Which is a totally different mode from online so I have no idea how that would even come into effect with us editing our offline content.

    @Sparky_NY1Sure If they allow us to upload headshot images to our CaP's it makes sense to recreate all EA roster player without a real likeness. I created over 300 missing players, goalies with best possible appearance, beards and equipment. Changed wrong and standard equipment of EA created players. The massive missing headshot images are the same problem for me. I hate to play with this black silhouette player. Headshot Image for all existing players is basic work. They can buy from law every likeness from which they have no permission especially the drafted college players. I am sure most players will give it for free.

  • @Froommey Yeah the black silhouettes are kind of a pain but I was key into editing players faces and features in previous year games. We had a whole group of guys as part of a revamp team. One year I remember doing close to 400 faces personally. I still have the sheets file in my drive.

    Also fire roster you got in the vault. From one roster guy to another.

    @Sparky_NY1As I said, no CAP without a headshot image is fun to play for me, even If the generic faces looking better as the EA created one. The quantity and quality of this generic faces are also bad and the same since one decade. I guess the same since Litmanen left. As I said somewhere before .... as a long time true customer I will not buy any EA NHL game anymore since this team is replaced. Enough is enough !
