Dirty Harry Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Personally i really have a hard time playing with players that have those dopey computer made faces. They have gotten slightly better but still. I think it should just be left blank. I'm very interested to see how other people feel about them.

simon07 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 They are superb! They do need a little work though, eg 16 year olds shouldn't be bald, no grey hair for 16 year olds. Chuck in a few beards and afew more hairstyles, then they would be great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grade Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Don't like them. It doesn't have that feel like the faces of other games like Mass Effect or Final Fantasy, even Fifa10 or PES10. It is yet again one of those 3d things that needs to wow and surprise everyone then just playing it safe. But don't expect much development on this part at least for FM11, because the issues of ME and the crash dumps will take priority, but i find it sad that the ME is needs always, tweaking making unavailable time to develop this tiny graphical things.

Cyril Washbrook Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 They're much better than the old "face in the game". No offence to the people who submitted their faces, but I really wasn't a fan of the poorly-lit hotch-potch of images that got assigned to the regens.

phnompenhandy Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I like them. They're better than a blank silhouette and much better than FITG. Some great digiartists here like John Smith have shown how they can be so much better - I hope SI continue to evolve them in future editions, and I hope they give us the facilities to create our own.

cmd1989 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I don't like them but i'd prefer to have them than just a silhouette, atleast then you can tell that they are regens. A bit of facial hair wouldn't go a miss and maybe some of them shouldn't have those creepy smiles, makes them look like sex pests to be honest.

Burscoughnian Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Really like them. Makes each player look unique. Do think a lot of them look the same and all a bit fresh-faced though. Could do with a few mean looking Vinnie Jones/Roy Keane types. Most look like Busted/McFly singers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Smith Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 My take is that regen faces could be much improved from the current (floating) 'headshots' to more of a 'profile' pic. I have this idea where I can create regen faces based on (confidential) photos of forum members (plus nationality). Pics will be sorted according to nationalities (e.g. 'regen england 1', 'regen italy 1') instead of members' names. All images will then be available for download on an image-hosting website. Just unsure as to whether anyone will be interested in this project though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrazerBleedsLiverpoolRed Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 This is kinda off topic, my regen pictures are there but they have no colour in their faces, just a translucent outline of their features - mouth, eyes, ears, nose. Does anyone else have the same graphics problem? All the rest of the graphics are fine - apart from my laptop not being able to run the 3D match engine. Anyone at SI that could help?

daidaithesequel Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I like them, i think that they add character to the game. Considering that back in the earlier releases there where very few player pics if any at all, and definitely no computer generated faces, which i think made it a very dull game to look at.

Dirty Harry Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 So you can change a picture that is already there to another one? Or just put one in for one that has a silhouette?

ElDani Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 The newgen faces aren't too bad, but I've voted "don't like", because they're missing one very important thing. Age/aging. I'm having some ~40 yo former players now being on my staff and they still look like some 16yo milksops (I hope that translated word is somewhat correct,since I got it from a dictionary). If age was taken into consideration and redrawing all those generated faces wouldn't be a performance issue, I would not have a single bad thing to say about them.

Dale Gribble Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Much better than just having a blank space for everyone after 10 years in the game.

dafuge Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I really like them. I tend to play long term games so the players with real faces tend to disappear with time. The computer generated faces give me a face to put to the name of all my regens. That's not to say that they couldn't be improved, but as a feature I really like them.

kieronbrown73 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I do not like them at the moment - however one tweak that could improve them is if the picture aged with the player and maybe even reflected facial injuries they pick up during their career.

They do. Mine change haircuts and age with time without a doubt. Maybe not much at the begining but most footballers don't anyway not post 18 anyway.
