wtf is wrong wt pasta???? Did bro dirty

[@MyName_Jeff]

I don't even think it's his face, it can't be

[@patex666]

Looks like Hedman :D

[@CaptainGarisen-bl3vp]

@@MyName_Jeff Same with Nikita Kucherov. Looks absolutely different. :D

[@poprosimsjakoskrrr4752]

Yeah, seems like EA doesn´t even know how Pasta looks like

[@adamkreuz9068]

Why the fuck do they keep giving him that beard?

[@spreadeaglegoalie434]

Why does McDavid still look like his 18 year old pic? They need to update that

[@MassaMainio]

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…

[@JamesBond77]

Nah McDavid still look like your mom my guy.

[@ciko15]

I don’t know why author remove all the beards from players but kucherov or Mathews doesn’t look like that in the game 😂

[@MATTDALOR1AN]

cause they faced scanned him at rookie year and didnt touch him since

[@bruno49428]

@@ciko15and ovi in 24 and McDavid and a couple others too it’s weird

[@niceneasyraps]

Still got that McDavid rookie face scan

[@kmt78901]

most of them look like when i try to create a player and after 2 minutes just go "close enough" lol

[@TravisHowrish-v2c]

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.

[@thepunisher8994]

No

[@mrfinland8332]

I mean the budget to make 2k games is so much more than ea's nhl so makes sense

[@hawkmanson6136]

Look bad compared to any game lol

[@dr.loomis4221]

It looks like they actually scanned Quinn Hughes...and then just winged it on all the others.

[@keithwillson8927]

Watching and I was like damn that Quinn is legit. Also jack. Then realized they were the cover athletes.

[@kylelabelle9273]

​@keithwillson8927 EA studios is also out west. Very easy to hop in the car, drive an hour and get scanned.

[@spreadeaglegoalie434]

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

[@JaredtheRabbit]

Maybe because a younger version of Kuch was the basis?

[@justinfriedrick7258]

It’s not even him at all. Lol.

[@JaredtheRabbit]

@@justinfriedrick7258 Maybe it's a younger version of him?

[@ckPinson-n4j]

wow. amazing how they changed the background and the lighting like that- brand new game

[@JCBedsy]

They didn’t change the goalie pads for 25 so they look so big on the skinnier bodies and it’s so goofy

[@vio-noob_6737]

Pettersson looks like a Sedin

[@GhostOfJohnLennon]

I just don’t know if it’s Hank or Daniel

[@afterlife1able]

All Swedish so probably has similarities even real life they have very similar stature

[@Kaiyogana]

I was just going to comment that 😂😂

[@AlenTrpevski]

Pettersson really looks like a Sedin in NHL24 version

[@Skynertia]

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?

[@rickb9585]

Wow EA is lazy....such a shame.

[@ShinyMew76]

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.

[@PastAlternative]

NHL 15 The Definitive Edition

Ovi looks like Sturges from fallout 4 lmaoo

Every player looks way too skinny. More noticeable on guys like Ovechkin

I actually think it looks more realistic

[@notthatfriendly596]

Wow.. shadows.. that's so next gen.

[@dr.loomis4221]

Yeah, the shadows is what looks like absolute trash plus the artistry on the face is also trash though as well

[@parallaxview2143]

Makar looks like a cross between Tintin and Kimi Raikkonen. So quite a good likeness.

[@kaz6854]

Why McDavid still look 17 ☠️

[@VicHalen07]

Kane looks younger than Caufield

[@bradmain8577]

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.

Sid Phillips?

Lol

[@JojoB0iMan]

I would’ve said Pettersson does.

[@The_Super_mario_bros_show-r8u]

What happened to my boys, matthews and mcdavid look like they just got drafted

[@RealPowerOfaPrime]

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

[@TerryBollea1]

Kuch STILL looks like CAS #2

[@Sparky-t3t]

Modders in NHL2000 made player look more realistic than NHL25

[@Citizen__X1]

Jack Eichel is morphing into Marv from Home Alone

[@Christophernbh]

Much more saturation. They honestly look much better I just wish the rest of the game saw similar improvements.

[@tylerjohnsonn1197]

Jack eichels expression looks like me seeing pricey pond hockey for the fifth year in a row

[@ArmChairGMPodcast]

I wish I knew what possessed Panarin to do that to himself lol

[@Coconut004]

Cool but the gameplay, the crowd, and overall immersion is still absolute garbage

[@RyanHumeniuk]

Who could of seen that coming. Still playing NHL 22 and it's still the same game as 25😅

[@danMayo4349]

The Kucherov scan is just hilarious

[@JaredtheRabbit]

Kucherov looks more like he did in the Q (which was all the way back in 2012-13) than he does now.

[@ScottyDoezntKnow]

Looks absolutely nothing like Nylander 💀

[@tristancollura375]

Who thinks Elias Patterson now looks like a Sadin brother

[@hahailikecows23]

Everybody is noticeably thinner. Everyone looked so bulky in 24

Took them some time to move from these roblox wide characters to leaner ones lol 👀

[@Viber58]

anyone else weirded out of how "slim" those jerseys seem on the players...

[@dr.loomis4221]

Not really...it's similar to when they switched to the Reebok Edge Jerseys in 07-08

[@zaazzaaaz1704]

Pasta doesn't look like where his brown circles are under his eyes

[@Cubby-96]

Some of these are terrible 😂😂

[@tomassalamon4912]

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...

[@davidcbeaudoin]

Pasta, Eichel, Nylander, and Bob all look off. I also think ‘24 McDavid looked better, lighting aside.

[@АндрейАнисимов-д3ь]

What to know about quality level of nhl 25 - Kucherov (best player 23-24) - made a random face

[@Schweizerleague]

looks like people that work on nhl never seen Pasta :D

How come only the Hughes brothers look more accurate? lol

[@masterluke2646]

McDavid without a beard?

[@jamesdiato]

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.

[@teknicalmadeit]

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..

[@TWMY14]

I'm not the only one that thinks these aren't that great, right?

[@dr.loomis4221]

Very disappointing with it being current gen only this year. Quinn Hughes looks great, but the only thing that's improved on the others is the strand based facial hair (Jack Eichel for example)
