Re: NHL 20 Player faces

Maybe someone can add here some pics from player faces to have a look ?

Instagram user @00s_hockey has some in his story right now. Montour, Gudas, Johnston, Peterka, Stephenson, Carlsson, Verhaeghe.

Re: NHL 20 Player faces

I'm sorry but many many look to be generic,they all have that same puffy eye look.

No need to say sorry, its all opinion. I laid out my thinking, just becuase their head is not a scan doesnt make it it generic in my opinion, at least not this year, the guys I listed have tangible likeness to the players even if they have used a generic templates.

I think this is the first year where many non scans actually look like some of the players. Reilly Smith is a decent example of that in game, its not a scan but efforts have been made to make this look like the guy, not just cut and pasting generic features. It is his likeness

That being said, if we are to be purists at least half the guys I listed are actual scans

I see there only three faces from NHL 25. Quinn Hughes, Mathews and Gudas and all are with helmets. Is it not possible to do screenshots without helmets at roster editing ? In NHL 23 it was like this. NHL 24 did not buy. Did EA change that that you can not see the players with hair and without helmets anymore ? I guess they have now similar generic creation options like in FC 24. By the way .... Oliver Bjorkstrand generic face looks in older NHL games bit similar to real. Other question ...... do the goalies have the same old boring goalie masks like they have more or lesser the last ten years ? No option for own mask designs ? I have seen at gameplay videos in YT that they again reduced the cutscenes during the game ? You don't see any player face from near now ? Can somebody confirm this ? Thx for answering my questions. It ist bad that NHL 25 is not made for PC. The community could change the generic faces to real faces, adding goalie masks or missing headshot pics like in FC 24. Simply this ist why I changed the last year to PC and FC 24 and away from hockey.

I'll give you a full list of new players in Excel. Previous guys are not truly right.
There are up to 5-8 new scans per EACH team in NHL.
"new scans" = there ARE no analogues in EASHL/CHEL player face editor.
And maybe more in AHL, Europe and junior leagues.
No scans for Alumni.
I've made 17 teams yet.

Joakim Ryan is back to Carolina from Malmo
I don't see M. Dal Colle (DEL) he has old facescan

Re: NHL 20 Player faces

Here are about 200 new players likenesses (Excel in ZIP).
There is no need to say whether they are similar or not, but there are NEW scans not generic.
I have pictures but they are too heavy to upload.

I checked minor leagues and found some new players but I am not sure if there are more of them.

Thank you for the list ! How do the players look in the canadian CHL ? The same bad looking faces as years before ? In the AHL only the few faces you have in the list ? How do the generic faces look in general ? I guess Celebrini ist not in the roster now, but will get a real face after he added to the roster. So Will Smith, Cutter Gauthier from the Sharks/Ducks have no ?

To be honest,im not impressed,a few scans but not more than any other year.The claimed new studio scans look the same with puffy eyes.And many prospects have no photo as usual.

200 new players is pretty impressive. 1/3 of the whole NHL

This is similar to my list but you just included more of the guys i considered fringe when it comes to whether they are generic or not, based on the guys in here most wont agree with half of these but i like the list

the CHL has no new faces and they look as bad as ever, even the skin tones for Parekh and Tij Iginla are off. No face for Smith, Cutter or Celebrini Im afraid

Re: NHL 20 Player faces

Ok, so here is a comparison from the Red Wings so you can see what i was talking about. I honestly believe none of them are actual face scans but I dont care, they are crafted likenesses and this this first year they have really done this with decent results.

They look cartoony but that is the aesthetic they have gone for this year- they actually look better in game and with there helmets on, they are cleary decent efforts even if you are a scan purist!!!

Remember as well, these are not huge name players, i like the fact they all actually look different from each other even if the likeness isnt amazing.

I put a reminder of what zero effort looks like in Simon Edvinsson just for reference.

Re: NHL 20 Player faces

Yeah okay i just downloaded the trial and i have to say im disappointed…
Many faces are close to but yet so far away, drysdale and bertuzzi looks whack, brandt clarke got a mega helmet on.
I like the extra effort to make them atleast look close to but still, a bad job.
