Bigtimetimjim​&nbsp;Good list. Would be nice, that EA Sports could add full scan faces also to alumni players like Dominik Hasek, Tomas Vokoun, Ed Belfour and etc...&nbsp;One thing what NHL video game really need, is same face creation tool, what we can use in EAFC.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Appreciate it, Juhani — agreed, alumni players getting updated scans would be awesome, especially for HUT/franchise. Even if they used AI-gen for retired legends like Hasek or Belfour, it would go a long way. Hopefully the dev team sees this thread.

I know goalies faces are typically hidden behind masks, but I'd like to see more face scans for goalies. Guys like Jordan Binnington, Jeremy Swayman, Adin Hill, Anothony Stolarz, John Gibson, Frederik Andersen, Joseph Woll, Samuel Montembeault, Igor Shesterkin, Igor Sorokin, and Juuse Saros have all been in the game for years now. Some have won Stanley Cups and Vezina Trophies and half those guys will be representing their countries at the Olympics this year. I mean it's either that or better customization zones for their equipment and more actual masks.&nbsp;
