New face scans/photo rookies in updates NHL 25.

EA_AljoHello.
Can we expect new face scans in future NHL 25 updates? in previous updates there was not a single new face. In other EA simulators for example FC such updates are available.
Will rookie card photos be updated?
If not, what are the reasons?
Thank you.

    Hi there. Typically, new scans aren't added to the current game with updates. We normally add them to the new game each year.

    If a player doesn't have a photo, it's due to the league not sending us one. Those also are not normally added after the game launches.

    Thank you for answering.
    True, I knew what you wrote, because I bought the previous parts of the game)
    By the way, sometimes the pictures of the players were updated, for example, Zegras in some part, and I remember they even added a face scan to Elias Pettersson with the updates.
    The question was that maybe something will change this year and we will be able to get more content in this part, besides, it is not difficult to update the player's photo and add a new face scan, with your technology you were able to add about 200 faces. Maybe it's time to add such a content update to the patches?)
    Because it is very strange to play for the conditional Celebrini or Michkov as for no-name bots. And then expect the same from the next part, provided that the newcomer is from the KHL or NCAA.
    I would like EA to improve in this part of the work as well)

    Thank you for the feedback. We'll make an announcement should new scans/photos be added.

  • I find it hard to believe that EA NHL waits until after the league for photos! in less than 1min30 I made 3 players with photoshop

    We can't use whatever image we want. We are required to use images provided by the various leagues.

    If you ask the NHL to send you updated actual photos, will they refuse?)

    You use photos of new players in HUT cards, so why not come up with something with mini faces

    That's not something I'm involved in so I don't know if that's possible or not. If a player misses the photo day, they won't have one to send us.
