McDavid and Q. Hughes are literally the only player in the whole series who look like themselves. Look at the pic of McDavid rating reveal and tell me that seriously doesn’t look like him…
These look so bad compared to something like NBA 2K25. Especially considering hockey players are covered in equipment so the ONLY thing they need to model is the face and they still look bad. The players look like they are made out of plastic.
So they literally just changed the lighting, and added beards (or removed hair in Panarin's case). Also why the f*ck does McDavid look like he's about to be drafted in 2025?
@@dr.loomis4221dude these “current gen” didnt improve shit. 4 years isnt long buddy. Sorry to break it to you, the graphical improvements from ps4 to ps5 isnt as astonishing as its made out to be.
Finally the hair doesn’t look washed out. The hair color was always way too unsaturated until now. The faces overall look much better, some still a bit outdated though, like Panarin and McDavid.
Kucherov, Pastrnak and Matthews are bad jokes... If marketing claims that one of the "top" news for this year are new faces and 3 of 10 league top stars look like this, i am very scared about the rest od players...
I swear only vasilevskiy and fleury are the only goalies in the game they even bother with for faces. Goalies get shafted every game. Prob gonna be the same old mask designs all day and every goalie will be wearing the wrong gear again.
When i see players faces in other sport games like FIFA or NBA2k i start to feel that ea nhl designers just kidding us and having fun of this. Not great work as always.
It’s hard to believe that this game was made this year, let alone not even released yet lmao. This is what a hockey video game in almost 2025 looks like. God damn. If there’s any franchise that needs competition, it’s EA Sports NHL. 2K or literally anyone needs to release a game. This game looks like dogshit. It looks no different than NHL 15..
Did they scan him? In UFC 5 it's very obvious who was scanned and who wasn't. Quinn Hughes is the only one that looks like he was scanned out of these players.
Bald Panarin looks like megamind😭
lol
Now his long hair's back😂
@@JacksonCooley-wp5dyfr
Why does McDavid still look like his 18 year old pic? They need to update that
McDavid and Q. Hughes are literally the only player in the whole series who look like themselves. Look at the pic of McDavid rating reveal and tell me that seriously doesn’t look like him…
Nah McDavid still look like your mom my guy.
I don’t know why author remove all the beards from players but kucherov or Mathews doesn’t look like that in the game 😂
cause they faced scanned him at rookie year and didnt touch him since
@@ciko15and ovi in 24 and McDavid and a couple others too it’s weird
wtf is wrong wt pasta???? Did bro dirty
I don't even think it's his face, it can't be
Looks like Hedman :D
@@MyName_Jeff Same with Nikita Kucherov. Looks absolutely different. :D
Yeah, seems like EA doesn´t even know how Pasta looks like
Why the fuck do they keep giving him that beard?
Still got that McDavid rookie face scan
most of them look like when i try to create a player and after 2 minutes just go "close enough" lol
It looks like they actually scanned Quinn Hughes...and then just winged it on all the others.
Watching and I was like damn that Quinn is legit. Also jack. Then realized they were the cover athletes.
@keithwillson8927 EA studios is also out west. Very easy to hop in the car, drive an hour and get scanned.
Kucherov isn't even recognizable. Wouldn't know who it was without the name at the bottom.
The hair on all of them looks way better and more detailed
Maybe because a younger version of Kuch was the basis?
It’s not even him at all. Lol.
@@justinfriedrick7258 Maybe it's a younger version of him?
They didn’t change the goalie pads for 25 so they look so big on the skinnier bodies and it’s so goofy
wow. amazing how they changed the background and the lighting like that- brand new game
Pettersson looks like a Sedin
I just don’t know if it’s Hank or Daniel
All Swedish so probably has similarities even real life they have very similar stature
I was just going to comment that 😂😂
These look so bad compared to something like NBA 2K25. Especially considering hockey players are covered in equipment so the ONLY thing they need to model is the face and they still look bad. The players look like they are made out of plastic.
No
I mean the budget to make 2k games is so much more than ea's nhl so makes sense
Look bad compared to any game lol
Pettersson really looks like a Sedin in NHL24 version
So they literally just changed the lighting, and added beards (or removed hair in Panarin's case). Also why the f*ck does McDavid look like he's about to be drafted in 2025?
Ovi looks like Sturges from fallout 4 lmaoo
Makar looks like a cross between Tintin and Kimi Raikkonen. So quite a good likeness.
2:04 McDavid looks lile that mean kid from Toy Story
Sid Phillips?
Lol
I would’ve said Pettersson does.
Wow.. shadows.. that's so next gen.
Current gen...these consoles are 4 years old
Yeah, the shadows is what looks like absolute trash plus the artistry on the face is also trash though as well
@@dr.loomis4221 and just as garbage.
@@dr.loomis4221dude these “current gen” didnt improve shit. 4 years isnt long buddy. Sorry to break it to you, the graphical improvements from ps4 to ps5 isnt as astonishing as its made out to be.
More next gen than your mom that’s for sure my guy.
NHL 15 The Definitive Edition
Finally the hair doesn’t look washed out. The hair color was always way too unsaturated until now. The faces overall look much better, some still a bit outdated though, like Panarin and McDavid.
Wow EA is lazy....such a shame.
Where the he’ll is Matthews mustache. Eichel and Quinn looks spot on I feel. Pettersson went from being blond to a ginger in a year.
Kane looks younger than Caufield
Why McDavid still look 17 ☠️
What happened to my boys, matthews and mcdavid look like they just got drafted
Every player looks way too skinny. More noticeable on guys like Ovechkin
I actually think it looks more realistic
Can you do a video on all new player faces in the game for players that did not have a scan in the previous years
@1:21 what is ‘24 Hughes mumbling to himself?
Kuch STILL looks like CAS #2
Jack eichels expression looks like me seeing pricey pond hockey for the fifth year in a row
Why does Mcdavid look like cal kestis💀
Jack Eichel is morphing into Marv from Home Alone
Malkin ,stamkos, kane, mcdavid-24
Body proportions of skaters-25
Of goaltenders-24
I wish I knew what possessed Panarin to do that to himself lol
Modders in NHL2000 made player look more realistic than NHL25
The Kucherov scan is just hilarious
Kucherov looks more like he did in the Q (which was all the way back in 2012-13) than he does now.
1:31 Malkin look like Toby Flenderson from the Office
What’s up with Kucherov? If you didn’t show the name I wouldn’t of been able to guess who that would be
Took them some time to move from these roblox wide characters to leaner ones lol 👀
Everybody is noticeably thinner. Everyone looked so bulky in 24
Pasta doesn't look like where his brown circles are under his eyes
anyone else weirded out of how "slim" those jerseys seem on the players...
Not really...it's similar to when they switched to the Reebok Edge Jerseys in 07-08
Much more saturation. They honestly look much better I just wish the rest of the game saw similar improvements.
McDavid without a beard?
Who thinks Elias Patterson now looks like a Sadin brother
did they accidentally scan Christian Slater instead of Pasta? WTF...
What to know about quality level of nhl 25 - Kucherov (best player 23-24) - made a random face
Looks absolutely nothing like Nylander 💀
Why does David Pasternak look like Viktor Arvidsson?
Any new ones?
Why cant other players have hair flowing out their helmets like legend Gretzky, why is he the only one??
looks like people that work on nhl never seen Pasta :D
Elias Pettersson looking more like a Sedin these days.
That’s Nylander? 🤔
How come only the Hughes brothers look more accurate? lol
Can you do shesterkin😊
Cool but the gameplay, the crowd, and overall immersion is still absolute garbage
Who could of seen that coming. Still playing NHL 22 and it's still the same game as 25😅
Elias P looks like a Sedin twin....
Who did Auston Matthews head? To much hair
Crosby and McDavid's mouth movements make me feel like they're cussing me out
That's why I thought too...they look so angry lol.
More contrast and that's it..
Players aren’t wearing shoulder pads in 25?
McDavid doesn't have a beard, and that looks nothing like Sergei Bobrovsky....
Mattews still has hair?!?
Some of these face scans are brutal to look at 🫣
i swesr the models in nhl 15 were as good if not better
02:20 - kuuuuch😢😢😢
Kucherov, Pastrnak and Matthews are bad jokes... If marketing claims that one of the "top" news for this year are new faces and 3 of 10 league top stars look like this, i am very scared about the rest od players...
Literally just more contrast, that's all🤣
Ovi and Hughes are attention to detail
wheres more?????
most of these arent even close?
That is NOT Pasta 😭😭
Why did you get rid of the players beards
Pasta, Eichel, Nylander, and Bob all look off. I also think ‘24 McDavid looked better, lighting aside.
Please show the new player likenesses
DAVID PASTRNAK 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why’s bobrovsky cross eyed😂
Malkin looks shrek
I don't see any changes, just different lighting.......
I swear only vasilevskiy and fleury are the only goalies in the game they even bother with for faces. Goalies get shafted every game. Prob gonna be the same old mask designs all day and every goalie will be wearing the wrong gear again.
Some of these are terrible 😂😂
Bobrovsky has never looked right In any nhl game I can remember. Bro must be declining to get the face scan
That anit kuch or papi 💀💀
I'll give it to ea, its a night and day difference
Им давно надо проработать лица болельщиков и эмоции, плюс поведение на забитые голы и вообщем целом, как должно быть в игре.
2K does faces better than EA.
These are actually so bad. Pasta is terrible. Kuch is awful. McDavid awful. Matthews and Nylander… wtf EA
24 legit looks better than 25 ... just with bad lighting. Everyone in 25 has a puckery face like theyre sucking on a lemon.
When i see players faces in other sport games like FIFA or NBA2k i start to feel that ea nhl designers just kidding us and having fun of this. Not great work as always.
How are these so bad?????

Pastrnak 🧐🧐
They always do mcdavid dirty on the face scan
Matthews is the worst!
@@2BCClips Both are really bad but still somewhat recognizable, I don't think anyone could guess who Tkachuk is (mouthguard chewing and jersey aside)
Did they scan him? In UFC 5 it's very obvious who was scanned and who wasn't. Quinn Hughes is the only one that looks like he was scanned out of these players.
Selebrini?
LOL DAVID PASTA. NIKITA KUCHEROV do Not look like that irl
At least the players don’t look like they are wearing Warhammer armor anymore
Rookies plz bro 🙏🙏🙏
Not Bobrovsky face at all!!!
