FC 25 isn’t even out yet, but a new feature is already causing a lot of excitement. Creative minds have hinted at what is possible thanks to an innovation in the successor.
What kind of feature is this? EA had already announced at a press presentation that they would be using a new facial recognition feature in FC 25. With “Cranium”, generic player faces will be a thing of the past and more realistic game faces will be possible, even for players in lower leagues.
Cranium is designed to create lifelike likenesses in the game using a few photos. This will probably also be used for an innovation in career mode that many fans have been demanding.
The first images from the Clubs mode in FC 25 suggest that the new feature will also be used in clubs.

Since the beginning of August, a few selected players have been able to try out various modes of FC 25 in a closed beta. This also includes the Clubs mode.
In Clubs, you can create your own Pro and form a club on your own or with your friends. Anyone who has followed the mode over the last few years will know that players like to be creative when creating their Pros.
Huge players with pink dreadlocks, green beards and oversized noses. The list of bizarre appearances that one could see in clubs could go on and on. There were hardly any limits to your creativity in the past.
Pros in clubs: More possibilities thanks to new technology?
In addition to the colorful beards and hairstyles, FC 25 will offer even more options to attract as much attention as possible with your Pro, purely visually. This is indicated by the following photos under a post on Reddit:
How do fans use the feature? The photos show crooked faces with huge scars and colorful glasses. These and other screenshots probably come from the new club editor in FC 25.
The more than 1000 upvotes on the post suggest that fans welcome the new possibilities in creating the Pro.
In addition, comments under the post are piling up, confirming the positive response. User srgabbyo7 writes: “The last guy looks like a Marvel villain. I love the cranium faces.” (via reddit.com)
With Cranium he is referring to the new feature in FC 25, which could be partly responsible for the new possibilities with the game faces.
At the moment, the new feature seems to be primarily used to create the most deformed game faces possible. This is causing great amusement on Reddit. Some fans even say that the new creativity convinced them to buy the new FC 25 (via reddit.com).
Other parts of the community would like the new feature to be used to use your own photos to transfer your face to the Pro. Something similar already existed in FIFA 11. For unknown reasons, however, this option was discarded in the following parts.
