Player updates & redones

Back at it again, HeyEA_Aljo​ Please read this through and pass along the feedback, thanks!

Here is a list of players I think deserve a redo, who really need it. Again, I appreciate that you’ve captured some likeness, it doesnt  have to be 100% identical either. Some of these have a good scan, some dont. I just dont understand the thought process behind how these are made. It kind of resembles them, but still not really. Wouldnt it be better to just do it properly from the start?

This isn’t a complaint, this is just feedback that I hope gets passed along and addressed. Many of these only have issues with hair and helmet fit, which is what my previous post was about, and how customization and more options would be the solution. That way, you could fix it yourself instead of asking for updates.

Players are selected based on this season, how theyve developed, established themselves in the league, and what role they have. Many already have fairly high OVR ratings and will likely be even higher in the next game.

Wyatt Johnston: Hair needs to be changed, and the helmet fit as well. The scan is okay, but considering he’s developing into a superstar, an update would be justified.

Anton Lundell: Hmm, the scan is okay, you can tell it’s supposed to be him. Hair needs to be changed, as well as helmet fit.

Niko Mikkola: Same as Lundell.

Jamie Drysdale: I think he deserves an update. The likeness is there, but ingame he doesn’t look like himself at all,something feels off. Helmet fit is too big.

Zach Benson: Scan is okay! It’s good, but the hair and helmet fit ruin it.

Hampus Lindholm: Needs an update. 86 ovr, longtime fulltime NHLer, one of Bostons top defensemen. Remove the beard and it doesnt look like him at all.

Dawson Mercer: Again, scan is okay. 84 ovr, a quieter year, but helmet and hair ruin it. Helmet is too big, and same goes for the hair.

Brandt Clarke: 23 years old, 86 ovr. Again, scan is okay and the likeness is there, but Id still like an update. Hair and helmet fit ruin it.

William Nylander: Scan is okay. Something weird is happening with the hairline on the side of his face. A man of many hairstyles, but it’s been the same since he was added years ago. Being able to change hairstyles on existing face scans would be the solution.

William Karlsson: 2019 playoff hero, Stanley Cup winner, 84 ovr, A on his chest, low elite. This is not a face scan, and there’s no real likeness either,he deserves to have his real face included.

Tyler Bertuzzi: This speaks for itself

Again, this isn’t all of them, there are more, but these are the ones I think deserve an update. Or, as I said, giving us access to fix it ourselves with a new customization system would be ideal.

I know many people don’t think this matters, but I know you pay attention to details and aim to create a realistic game, this plays a big part in that. For us offline players, this matters a lot. We want a realistic hockey experience without that arcade feel.

Thanks againEA_Aljo​

  • Labben67​ Great post, completely agree. I’ve noticed this across a ton of players too. A lot of this could honestly be fixed if we had more customization like adjustable head and helmet sizing and the ability to assign our own generic hair.

     

    Some more of the more noticeable ones:
    Connor Zary (head and helmet way too big)
    Nicolas Robertson (head and helmet way too big)
    Cutter Gauthier (decent scan, wrong hair)
    Troy Terry (hair too long, wrong style)
    Frank Vatrano (hair too short, wrong style)
    David Pastrnak (hair too long, head and helmet too big)
    Charlie McAvoy (hair too long, head and helmet too big)
    Tage Thompson (head and helmet slightly too big)
    Owen Power (wrong hair, head and helmet too small)
    Connor Bedard (face could use an update, hair not accurate)
    Frank Nazar (wrong hair, too short)
    Martin Necas (head too small)
    Kent Johnson (head and helmet too big)
    Michael Misa (hair too long, wrong color)
    Brandon Hagel (wrong style, way too long)
    Rasmus Andersson (hair too short, wrong style)

     

    Even small fixes like this would make a huge difference without needing full re-scans.

    EA_Aljo​ would be great to hear some feedback on how the development team plans on fixing this moving forward? As you can see in his pictures above most all of those   players have generic hair styles except for Willy Nylander. Easy fix; allow us to edit  and change the styles at the very very least. Thank you!
