Its probably so they don't have to render faces. I don't know how taxing the physics engine is, but it could be hard to render faces in game at the same time. They probably also did want to waste time on that.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. If that's the reason then it doesn't matter to me that much, especially if the fps were to drop due to having face textures.

But if they do that its will be a failure. For me for this game to be a success, Graphics dont even have to been great, Gameplay and presentation have to be on a dime(which i doubt). Presentation in APF was nuts. Players on the field talking trash to the players on the sidelines that was crazy.

Customization has to be the key to win me over and probably alot of people over. If it is limited like APF and MLB2k9(with their edit player limit) its going to fail. Stadiums,Players Unis,Attributes,Skin,Facial, etc.. You can edit every signal player on the your team and also the cpu teams. And almost forgot its has to have a decent franchise mode.

My expectation for this game is extremely low. All they things i mention im 100% highly doubtful it will be in the game. Even if its first football game you cant mess up, cuz if they do that will be the last backbreaker. Look at APF=failed, Graphics was meh but the gameplay was beatiful, but limited customization and no franchise mode kill that game quickly.

APF didn't really fail. It is still played by tons of people and is the best next gen football game so far. It didn't catch on with the mainstream and neither will BB unless this natural motion engine is simply unreal.
