Generated player faces

Hi!EA_Aljo​ i was wondering in franchise mode will we still have the gray silhouettes or will we finally have player faces just like in madden.

  • Another year of waiting until launch day to get any sort of confirmation on this.  I'd wager nothing in franchise mode has changed. The silhouettes will be back.  As will the overrepresentation of Estonia, Poland, Ukraine, etc. in the draft; so will the insane generated prospects (looking at you Steve Johnson, black guy with a grey afro from Hungary), and I highly doubt they will have given us the ability to freely edit attributes/draft classes/force wins/force trades/edit contracts/etc. in our offline franchise mode.  Ya know, all the stuff that every other game sports game does. 

    To be honest, save for menu lag, Franchise mode isn't in too bad of a spot. But they really need to do some basic QOL updates and catch it up with Madden/2k/NCAA/MLB in terms of customizability and immersion.

    I agree! Adding generated players faces, having appropriate background countries for generated players, and given us the ability to customize players would be game changing for the franchise community

    Yeah, if they just did some basic updates and added GM Connected, I think Franchise mode would actually be in a great spot. Not having faces for AI prospects bothers me, though it´s incredibly annoying, and it's even more surprising that it's not in the game.

  • EA_Aljo​ Are we going to have a generated portrait face for generated fictional players? Cause if not then that's a bit disappointing and not good enough, specially if Madden, FC and NCAA have that feature.

  • There’s actually a really easy way to check on feature wishlists like this:

    Did EA launch a YouTube “deep dive” trumpeting the feature you want as an all-new, game-changing evolution?

    • YES: it’s in there, sort of, but it’s broken and won’t work for at least two more iterations of the game. 
    • NO: tough luck.

    No chance this will be in NHL 26. If it were, they would promote it like crazy.
