NHL 17 Players Faces List

That's good stuff. But EA won't let us edit players in career mode... and they won't provide scans of halfway decent faces.

And the generated players are so similar. Who here has traded a player away solely b/c he looks exactly the same as someone else you already have on your team. Heck, I've had whole lines look exactly the same - it's like I was icing the Hanson brothers from Slapshot.

At least let us fix stuff!

I think my line is now - if the game doesn't let me edit in career modes, I'm not buying it.

Forget in career mode. The only thing they let us edit, period, is the facial hair and equipment. They don't let us edit hair or eyebrows or any of the stuff you can customize in create a player even when you're in the game's main hub.

Ironically, they do let us change a player's handedness - you know, something that rarely, if ever changes - but don't allow us to edit hair or even height and weight, things that do change especially in young players entering the league who aren't done growing.

What I've put together is a list of 30 established NHLers that are top 6 forwards or top 4 defensemen on their current NHL team. Some have already ended an NHL season amongst the top 30 in points. Some have signed major contracts in the past two off-seasons and others are currently negotiating as RFAs. Some are even expected to be moved in block buster trades. Some are captains of their teams. None however have their heads scanned in NHL 17.

1. H. Lindholm
2. T. Krug
3. R. Ristolainen
4. J. Faulk
5. T. Barrie
6. J. Abdelkader
7. T. Tatar
8. A. Barkov
9. V. Trocheck
10. J. Muzzin
11. T. Toffoli
12. F. Forsberg
13. K. Palmieri
14. B. Nelson
15. T. Hamonic
16. C. Kreider
17. M. Zuccarello
18. M. Hoffman
19. M. Stone
20. B. Schenn
21. S. Ghostisbehre
22. J. Schwartz
23. T. Johnson
24. N. Kucherov
25. M. Reilly
26. J. Carlson
27. E. Kuznetsov
28. M. Scheifele

How about getting a scan for Mike Fisher. Been in the league since 1999. Captain of the Preds. 36 yrs old... time is running out EA.

15 years and no face scan. Incredible.

Maybe next year?

Braden Holtby wins the Vezina last year, and still has a generic face.

It's total crap. I doubt I'll recreate this thread next year if it's just to add the names of Canucks and prospects. It's not as though the game improves drastically from year to year. The improvements are often minimal as of the past years, and they constantly avoid making the presentation and player likeness a priority.

Connor Murphy from Arizona have a real face in game
