Celebrini scan and silhouette.

Are they really gonna wait till NHL 26 with Celebrini and also Smith scans and silhouettes? Is it that hard to put it into the game with the next update? I understand why it was not given in the beginning, but he was a first overall pick and I would really enjoy playing franchise mode for Sharks. But I can't if the best player has generic face and no silhouette in the game. 

  • Hi there. Each year, the leagues send us the headshots that get used in the game. If that photo isn't sent to us, it means they will have to go without one for the season. This often happens when a player isn't there the day these pics are being taken. 

    As far as scans go, that's a whole different issue. We try to get as many of them in the game as possible. It's a pretty involved process that requires getting the player out to our studio in Vancouver. I know there is the ability to travel with the rig used for scans as well, but that's not something that we can just do on a whim. Hopefully, we'll see these players added in the future, but most likely, it won't happen in 25.

    Same for me, with Cutter Gauthier. Matvei Michkov too. I hope there will be some sort of reply from the community managers.

  • You now have an ai generated app that can provide a scan without having a player physically there. I do understand players of higher caliber like the young rookies listed above deserve real scans and I hope EA is committed to getting them there of coming to them. Also in years past rookies were added right after draft and that hasn't been the case in years outside of Connor Bedard. I really think guys like Misa, Schaffer etc. should be scanned right away even if they were to go back to Juniors. I also hope EA continues to build on adding the ai generated scans to the many faces still missing. I was very happy in NHL25 how many were added while using that AI tool. Thank you for anh information you have?

    It's not an app sorry it's a tool that NHL ea 25 now has. They added a lot of faces Manley veteran players using an ai generated scan from a picture of the player but then gives them generic style hair. Quick way for  them to have now added players without having to have them present to do a full face scan.

    It's not a feature in the game. It's used by the design team. They now just enter the picture of the players face it generates a scan based off a picture and they they slap generic style hair on the player without having to physically bring the player to their studio in Vancouver. That's why I think they should be adding even more scans since their design team can just use that new ai tool they have to do most nhl rostered players. You'll notice the players that have real scans vs the ai scans currently in the game. If it looks like them and not a true generic face but has a generic hairstyle it's not a real scan.

    Didn't they use to travel with the rig every year to the NHLPA rookie showcase? That was a great way to get young players in without having to have them travel to Vancouver. Please pass that suggestion on to development team. Also with the launch of the trailer today can you confirm more ai scans will be added without using the real scans and rig?
