Real faces...PLEEEEEEEEEEASE

[Ninica]

Thomas Vanek please!
He had a real face in NHL 09 or 10... then in 11, 12 and 13 its generic.

Maybe the players have to approve it, if ea wants to put their real faces in the game?!

As long as the playersa re in the NHLPA, EA has the rights to their likneesses, as far as I'm aware.

Scott Hartnell needs a face. Badly. For goodness sake, have you seen him in the game? Don't even get me started o the fact that Hartnell doesn't even have his trademark long hair.

Ok, but why did they remove his real face then? That makes no sense...

Yeah, Hartnell looks like a little boy with his face and without his long hair! Maybe they'll give him those awesome long dreadlocks, like in ncaa-football,

I guess when Vanek stays at the top of the scoring-list, he maybe will get one in nhl14... would be awesome!

I don't think Scott's face was ever in the game. The thing is, although all of these players in the NHLPA have given EA permission to use their likenesses, it doesn't mean that all of their cyberfaces will be done.

It's then up to EA to get them all finished. I don't know why they remove faces though o.O

Yeah, no shhh.... huh? Madden has all the coaches faces, with the exception of Belichick, a.k.a. Chad Masters, who is a spoil sport & won't allow EA SPorts to use his likeness or name.

All they need to do is build the database. That is the hard part.

Once that is done, all they will have to do is maintain it by adding a small amount of players each year (rookies etc.) & removing some who retire etc.

Thomas Vanek has his real game-face again!
Nice!!
Awesome that ea put it in after roster-update 9... didn't expect that!
It helps when you lead the league in scoring...
