There are still clutch names missing like Forsberg or Arvidsson in Nashville, but let's admit there is an improvement. We usually get a dozen stars and a few prospects. We still haven't identified all prospects.

I guess my point is that if it were up to the fans, it wouldn't matter what arbitrary reasons there were for guys to be in game.

In The Show, every guy's got a pretty realistic base model to work off of. I called up the Brewers outfield Prospect, and even he was a pretty close likeness to himself. This is a kid who's never played in the MLB. But in the NHL series, guys who have been in the league for the better part of a decade aren't modeled. Hell, half of most teams aren't even in the game.

It's just crazy to me that EA still sticks to this old system that produces awful results. I'm not even 100% talking about the face model, but just general things like beards, facial hair, etc. They mess up handedness sometimes, and that's a huge deal in the game.
