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.
