EA_Aljo i second this.Labben67
We know the dev team holds onto face scans from the NHLPA Rookie Showcase and waits to release them until players are full time NHLers, or more often until they have a breakout year at the NHL level. That seems to be why, four years later, we’re still waiting on Jack Quinn to get a scan the team has had since 2022, even now that he’s hit the 20 goal, 50 point mark.
With so many of these younger players already playing in the AHL, it would be great to have those scans added earlier so we can actually use them there and in online modes instead of waiting until they establish themselves in the NHL.
Exactly.BigTimeTimJimEA_Aljo Me personally, stops playing an franchise after 2-3 seasons, after those 2-3 seasons there is no more young guys with facescans/likeness, or player headshots. Takes all the fun out of it. Would love to have more ahl/young players to use, like 10-15 would change my entire experience, i bet others feel the same, this year ive recycled Michael Misa and Jakub Dvorak (not a facescan but his generic looks like him) through every team, just to have realistic rookies and young guns. Thats fine for 1-2 months, after you sit and wait 6-7 months for new facescans, then repeat. Nhl 25 had zero rookie facescans, that was unacceptable. Just do better guys. Loved seeing guys like Mavrick Bourque and Alex Laffriere get their scans in, but they are 22 y/o +, hope things changes. Im not sold on getting NHL 27, getting such a bad feeling about how Ea operates, it feels unprofessional.
