It's the same very old face they use for him in current gen, just polished up a bit. Still not really what he looks like any more. His cyber in NHL 14 is like 8 years old. He has longer hair and a baby face. He now has a more square jaw, a crew cut and perpetual 5 o'clock shadow, looking about 10 years older. This is the exact same cyber he had all the way back in NHL 2007 or so. It's just more high def now. I will say though, the helmet and overall player model looks great. EA is really terrible with faces and player likeness though. Not sure why they would advertise it as one of this year's wow factors when it's clearly one of their biggest weaknesses. Player faces are either wildly inaccurate or extremely dated and players have no differentiation in how they wear their gear or tape their sticks or whether they're thick or thin or how they stand/skate. Player likeness is definitely not a strong suit for EA.

They need to snag someone from FIFA, and one of the guys from the Show and just sit them down with a computer, and some face shots.

I don't understand EA's logic behind these. Show Subban who looks pretty great. Why do they keep highlighting the faces that don't look very good? Kane and Toews at least looked decent, the video made it seem like Tavares may actually somehow look less like himself than before, though it was hard to tell.

I really usually never nitpick over a single screenshot, but since it is all that EA feels like dangling at this point then I will point out things like so often happens online.
First thing that I noticed was the ice flying up. I thought, "cool." Then I looked at it for a second longer and said to myself "why is there ice flying everywhere on this pic?" There is hardly a real pic of a hockey game where there is that much ice flying up for three players that aren't all power-stopping for a puck in the crease or something. Tone it down, EA! I get that you want to show off the new graphics cause lord knows you are staying away from the gameplay, but think about what you are showcasing and get it right before you pound your chest about it being upgraded and amazing.
Just my 2 cents.

You can see Bergeron's & Gunnarsson's forearm pads. Pretty cool.
Bergy doesn't look like he should be in the Hills Have Eyes in real life...

It's been mentioned already about it not looking like him, which I agree. But outside the face, visually I think it's look more crisp than the past.

Off topic, but remember when NHL2k had playoff beards? Such a cool little feature that made a significant immersion feel.
All I can say is that if Brent Burns mountain man face isn't in this game I'm boycotting!

Visually Im very impressed so far as I have no issue with gameplay offline but hopefully they update faces and at least get the starting 20 man rosters in the game and still no new goalie mask designs ?
Is EA really gonna neglect basics like real faces until the ps5
Maybe they just have limited resources but shouldnt having a real face on most players be basic in 2014 ?
Still cant wait till September for this game

that looks like bergy from his rookie year.
So that pic is accurate if this were 10 years ago

I just think it's amazing that every screen they've chosen to show off has been a face that's so dated, both in that the player no longer looks like that anymore AND that the technology used to take their scan all those years ago wasn't on par with what we have now. Why not at least show guys like MacKinnon or Landeskog who actually still look like their scans because they've only been around a couple of years and the technology when they had their scans done was more recent and of better quality? Honestly WHY show us this picture of Bergeron? The ice, environment, lighting and gear could be shown off with any player; it could be anyone in Bergeron's place. Why show a Bergeron who clearly has an 8 year OLD scan to demonstrate your NEW game when you could show MacKinnon, who would look as new and fresh as possible. Bergeron just clearly doesn't look like that anymore. What's the thought process that goes on behind "hmm, we're going to release ONE screen... want to show off the new graphics and our unprecedented player likenesses... let's use screens of guys whose faces we scanned last decade!"

EA NHL does so much right and then misses little things like a using a rookie Patrice face ?They must know most out there that follow the game are Hardcore NHL fans and will pick apart the smallest mistakes .
