FC 25 is not even out yet, and still, a new feature is already causing a lot of excitement. Creative minds have hinted at what is possible thanks to an innovation in the sequel.
What is this feature? EA had already announced at a press presentation that they will use a new facial recognition feature in FC 25. With “Cranium,” generic player faces will belong to the past, allowing for more realistic game faces, even for lower league players.
Cranium is said to create lifelike likenesses in the game based on just a few photos. This will likely also be used for a new feature in career mode that many fans have requested.
Initial images from the Clubs mode in FC 25 suggest that the new feature will also come into play in Clubs.
Since early August, select players have been allowed to try out various modes of FC 25 in a closed beta. This includes the Clubs mode.
In Clubs, you can create your own pro and establish a club alone or with your friends. Anyone who has followed the mode in recent years knows that players love to express their creativity when creating their pros.
Huge players with pink dreadlocks, green full beards, and oversized noses. The list of quirky appearances that one could see in Clubs could go on infinitely. Your creativity was practically limitless in the past.
Pros in Clubs: More options thanks to new technology?
In addition to colorful beards and hairstyles, FC 25 will offer even more options to attract attention with your pro visually. The following photos under a Reddit post suggest this:
How are fans utilizing the feature? The photos show distorted faces with huge scars and colorful glasses. These and other screenshots likely come from the new Clubs editor in FC 25.
The over 1000 upvotes on the post suggest that fans welcome the new possibilities in creating their pros.
Additionally, comments under the post confirm the positive response. User srgabbyo7 writes: “The last guy looks like a villain from Marvel. I love the Cranium faces.” (via reddit.com)
With Cranium, he refers to the new feature in FC 25 that could be responsible for the new possibilities in game faces.
Currently, the new feature seems primarily used to create as many deformed game faces as possible. This brings great amusement on Reddit. Some fans even say that the newfound creativity has convinced them to buy the new FC 25 (via reddit.com).
Other parts of the community wish that the new feature could be used to upload personal photos to transfer their face onto the pro. This option was available in a similar form in FIFA 11. However, for unknown reasons, this possibility was discarded in subsequent editions.
