Unless I'm missing something you are referring to the hair that can be customized for CHEL skaters? With real life players likeness will play a factor where time and energy will have to be dedicated to ensuring each player has the correct hairstyle. I'm sure it can be done but I don't think it's as easy as removing a helmet and assuming all the hair will still be there moving normally when you're shifting around on the ice. If you want hair to be waving around in the correct direction on the Frostbite engine someone will need to be tasked to do that, otherwise seeing static hair in replays might not visually look appealing. It's a cool idea but I guess what I'm trying to say is that it all boils down to how many players will actually use the feature, how many player want it, the difficulty of it, and where it falls on the list of all the things players want and/or fixed. You also have simulation players in here requesting actual NHL helmets/gear that NHL players wear in real life, which helmets are required, so there's requests the team have to weigh out there too.

@EA_Blueberry What I'm referring to is selecting the hair that is the same hair we see on the Alumni players within the game who aren't wearing helmets when we create a player for offline use (mainly for adding the players I want to add to the Alumni teams that should have been there). If any of the longer hair is actually animated, I sure haven't noticed it and really couldn't care if it was or wasn't. Given the default camera I play with, it wouldn't add much value and would be much better if the option of a helmetless player was available versus not having it because the hair wasn't animated. Also, the players within the Alumni teams that aren't wearing helmets don't have hair that is long enough to require any animation. If anyone is creating Bobby Orr, Phil Esposito or Bobby Hull, I'm sure they would agree that it's odd to have them in the game wearing a helmet. That is what I was hoping for. I hope this helps. Thanks again for reading my post along with others here and for responding. I'll continue to hope for a helmetless player option and vintage goalie masks (which should be there because they used to be available and also because we see them on several alumni goalies and worse yet on fans in the stands). Thanks again and cheers!
