For those who love fictional games - or extending real-life games into the future - there are few additions that will be more exciting than Facegen in Franchise Hockey Manager 2.
Let's face it, a generic cartoon-y face isn't going to allow you to get fully immersed in your players or game world.
Facegen comes to the Franchise Hockey Manager series for the first time in version 2, so let's take a look.
To start, we have front office Facegen, so once you create your character in game you'll have a nice picture - team hat and all - to illustrate that.
But of course, where Facegen will really shine is with players. Here's a look at what a player in free agency/before initial draft/without a team looks like:
There's of course a wide variety of different player models, all of which change dynamically through the game.
And don't like the look of one of your players? As seen above, there's a myriad of options available to change or tweak to your heart's content.
Can anyone say, playoff beard??
Coming up tomorrow in part 2: A first look at how Facegen players look once on a team, including goalies, what customization options are available for team jerseys and the impact of age and size on a Facegen player.
