    Why. Is. Rick. Nash. Clean. Shaven?

    Why?


    Players who ARE clean shaven in real life, like Hedman, were given stubble and such. Seguin was given his beard. Why the hell is Rick Nash still baby faced like its 2005?

        That's not relevant. Everyone who watches hockey knows he is not clean shaven during the season. His character model looks awful.

          As a Ranger fan I'm fairly certain he was clean shaven for a lot of this past season, but whatever, I don't watch hockey I guess.

            Okay. You're a Rangers fan. You think Rick Nash, any time during his tenure as a Ranger, does he come to mind clean shaven or with a beard? The semantics are so tiring. The guy's character model looks terrible and I, as a Rangers fan, dislike playing with the Rangers because they're star forward looks terrible in the game. We all know Nash typically has at least a short beard these past 5+ years or so.

              If semantics tire you then nit-picking should do the same, especially now that playoff beards are a thing. At least he looks like himself, I'm more concerned about the player models who bare zero resemblance to their RL counterparts.

                Nitpicking usually does bore me. I haven't used the Rangers for GM mode in years though, essentially because of Nash lacking a beard. It just frustrates me that they still haven't added it. Guys like Havlat and Thornton, back in the day had there's added. Now tons of players are getting updated scans. I just wanted something more recent for Nash. You can tell he's a lot younger in his scan, as even clean shaven, he's thinner looking now and it just bothers me for some reason trying to play as the Rangers with him.

                  Hmmmm.. Hawks haven't said what player is taking over the "A" yet since Sharpy is gone. EA may know something we don't, wonder if Kaner really is the new assistant captain. Cause that pic clearly has him as the new "A" for the Hawks.

                    This is insane to me.

                      Same here. I thought this was a thread about ratings, anyways.

                        I was trying to recall his face. It's hard to remember because the playoffs are the last thing I watched, and he was mostly invisible. He'd do great in a stealth game.

                          I doubt it especially given the current allegations surrounding Kane. It's more likely that EA's algorithm assigns empty captainship vacancies on the team's highest rated skater. My guess is the new assistant captain will be either Seabrook (if they think they can resign him), Hossa, or Hjatlmarsson.

                            Yikes. How do you handle the real problems with the game?

                              There's things that are simple quick fixes and things you realize they're never going to fix. Since I only play GM I only encounter the problems in that game mode. I only really play to be fully immersed in a franchise. In the case of, for example, Jori Lehtera who they gave face #1 to (dark skin and hair), I will move EAs version of him to a national team and create my own version that looks more like him. I do this for a player or two per team usually because some faces are just awful. There isn't anyway to make a more realistic looking Nash and it's just bothered me for a long time. It's like a pet peeve or irrational tick. I just can't believe he still looks so young and baby faced in the game in 2016.
