Love the list! Im heavy for increasing facescans in the game, especially now when they use ai to generate them (which they refuse to confess). Zach Benson and Tyler Bertuzzi need to be redone as well, the scans are terrible. I also really hope they fix how helmets fit on players, 60–70% have helmets that are way too big, and it looks ridiculous. It’s real laziness from Ea. I’d also like to see rookies get face scans, as many as possible. The overall level of face scans has been low and unacceptable in recent years. Your list is the bare minimum. A good solution would be to add the ability to change hairstyles on the players yourself, have their base as an option( if they dont have the generic ones, but almost everyone has it) and all the generic to choose from, would also add realism when you are for example 5-10 years into franchisemode.
Would also add
-WPG : Brad Lambert, Haydn Fleury
-CAL : Matvei Gridin, Adam Klapka
-COL : Joel Kiviranta
-DAL : Justin Hryckowian, Lian Bischel
-FLA : Niko Mikkola (Hair update)
-BOS : Marat Khusnutdinov, Hampus Lindholm (update), Nikita Zadorov (Update)
-LAK : Samuel Helenius, Joel Armia
-PIT : Rutger Mcgroarty
Would love to see more young Ahl players like Konsta Helenius, Matthew Poitras, Fabian Lysell, Jett Luchanko……for example get their scans in, but that is wishing for too much.
EA_Aljo When it’s documented and proven that every rookie gets their face scanned at the Upper Deck Rookie Showcase every year, why not add them in? Why wait until their sophomore season? And these guys from the Firebirds, why scan these players and then wait 2–4 years before they even get in? If they get in at all. Let more AHL players have face scans; it would make the experience 110% better, especially in Franchise Mode. Come on, you can do better!
I don’t get it, you’d get so much positive feedback and new customers, satisfied customers, so why hold back on them? I hope you change your game plan, because this isn’t sustainable. Instead, make a game that people play throughout the entire season, not one they stop playing in February–March and then just sit around waiting until September just to get a few new faces. It sounds crazy, but it’s the truth. Let 27 be the year you surprise us 🙏🏻
