Generated pics for generated rookies

Why can't we have generated pics (and preferably editable) for generated rookies in NHL when we have it in other sport titles and even in other EA sport titles such as Madden? It is so immersion spoiling when we only have silhouettes for player pictures.

    Hi there. Chances are excellent we can't do this due to licensing. We're only able to use the headshots sent to us by the leagues.

    Knowing you guys, this is just an excuse to not give the players what they want. Plus, based on Be A Pro, you have the technology to do it, so just do it.

    It's not about the technology. We are required to use the images sent to us by the leagues.

  • Generated pictures of generated players are probably not a licens problem? :)
    I would be surprised if the league sent you images of the generated players....

    But yes, please add it, its already in FC, Madden and College football....

    I have a hard time believing licensing prevents generated, made-up pictures for generated, made-up players.  If that is the case, why are you allowed to do it in Be a Pro?

    I have to apologize. This is on me. I didn't realize this was about the fictional players the game adds. Even though, that was plainly stated. I was still thinking the request was for missing headshots of real players. So, some confusion on my end about it. I'll get this feedback relayed to the team. Thanks!

    Hello, It would be great to add this feature for all players who don't have a photo.
