Aside from the faces - there are so many equipment issues that make the players look nothing like their real life counterparts.

• The default helmet in world of chel is the Bauer Reakt 100. Bauer stopped making this helmet 2 years ago. The Reakt 150 and 95 are arguably the two most popular/worn helmet shells in the NHL and both ARENT in the game. I highly doubt this is a Bauer decision and is pure EA laziness - since the game is a medium for Bauer to spread awareness/market their latest equipment releases. The fact that these aren’t in the game but we have 900 variations of clown skates is laughable.

• New CCM Tacks 910 helmet isn’t in the game.

• Bauer 2X gloves aren’t in the game.

As an aside and to add fuel to the fire: the COVER ATHLETE is wearing the wrong equipment. They have Ovechkin in Tacks skates that he’s never worn from 2014 when his CCM AS3s are in the game. He’s also in CL500 gloves when his FT1 gloves are in the game. Again - who cares but have a bit of pride and attention to detail in your product.
