    Re: NHL 16 Players Faces List

    Alright guys! For those of you who followed and contributed to this thread last year, I'm getting the one for this year ready once again. I rearranged all the rosters according to the off season transactions. Any contributions are appreciated as well.

    By watching the various trailers and gameplay videos, here are some new faces I spotted in this year's game:

    - Tyson Barrie
    - Johnny Gaudreau
    - Brayden Holtby
    - Evgeny Kuznetsov
    - Matt Martin
    - Gustav Nyqvist
    - Tuukka Rask

    Here are some I can't confirm because either the shots happen too fast, or they have beards (maybe it's just the beard that looks different on a generic face):

    - Jonathan Bernier
    - Ben Bishop
    - Johnny Boychuk
    - Jonas Brodin
    - John Carlson
    - Corey Crawford
    - Devan Dubnyk
    - Alex Goligoski
    - Mikael Granlund
    - Eric Johnson
    - Tyler Johnson
    - Brock Nelson
    - Brandon Sutter
    - Tyler Toffoli
    - Sami Vatanen
    - Blake Wheeler

    I won't add these players to the list until I'm able to be 100% certain, though I'm pretty confident about the top list.

    I also left the UFAs and Other categories as they were, and I'll update them according to the game.

      Re: NHL 16 Players Faces List

      I posted about the again-new editing options for '16 in an EA forums thread that a NHL-dev was responding to. I inquired about seeing an option for "player appearance" and asked the question; would users be able to change NHL player faces because EA does such a terrible job. I used Matt Martin as an example, saying that Martin has had a generic face that looks like Tiny Tim for the past 3 or 4 seasons.


      A dev named Ben responded saying something like: "no, you can not changed licensed player faces, but you should be happy to know that Matt Martin has his own face now."


      So, I guess Matt Martin will have his own face.


      Also, in a video, I forget what it was showcasing, but the Islanders were one of the teams and it looked like Josh Bailey and Cal Clutterbuck had faces that at least resembled their likeness, respectively. This might suggest they are a good deal more cyberfaces or EA is using the generic faces better.

        Awesome! I'll add Martin to the list. I noticed him in the player classes screenshot seen below:
        <img src="https://media.easports.com/content/www-easports/en_US/nhl/eashl/news/2015/eashl-player-classes/_jcr_content/par/image_3.img.jpg">

        Tyson Barrie and Mikael Granlund were used for Offensive Denfenseman and Playmaker respectively. They look quite good at a distance. I would assume they have been scanned given they were used for the screenshots.

        Tyson Barrie:

        Mikael Granlund:

          Is it just me or doesn't that look like a generic face for Granlund? It doesn't really look like him.

            I agree. I'm leaving him off the list until we can confirm on launch.

                  Re: NHL 16 Players Faces List

                  Based on the screenshots released for the top 10 defensemen earlier today, a few of these guys look updated, and incredible. That being said, unless we see a new scan in an upcoming shot, I'll hold off editing the list based on which players have an updated look until the game is released.

                  As a Habs fan I couldn't help but notice Markov with a bald head... Maybe he's FINALLY been added, now that he's past his prime. Never too late I guess.

                    Subban, Hedman and Karlsson all definitely looked better.

                      Absolutely! I also thought Keith had something a little different too.

                      Connor McDavid (blurry, but real):


                      Can anyone confirm this is in fact a real face on Hunter Shinkaruk:

                            Looks like McDavid, Eichel, and the rest of the rookies present at the NHLPA Showcase were scanned just yesterday.
