To carry on from @RollsReus great work the previous years.. For the 11th year running, the Star Head Thread returns for this years edition of FIFA 23. This thread is consistently the biggest and most popular thread on this entire official Fifa forum, having attained more than 1.8Million views for the Fifa 19 thread. This, combined with an ever increasing hunger from fans around this world, shows how highly fans of FIFA value the topic of player faces within the game.
Since 2011, the Star Heads Thread has been the mecca for news on player faces and a place for aesthetic fans to come and discuss all things face-like. Throughout the years, we have had a community of passionate fans. Some who have been members for years and others who are new to the thread. We are some of the most committed fans who play the game, but don't mistake our tenacity, it's purely a mutual love of the game and a desire for our voices to be heard. Our members are constantly looking for squeaks and leaks for any potential news from official teams and players, via their social media channels.
Naturally we will have new users coming into this thread for the first time, who are very welcome to become part of the discussion. To you, we say that we are well aware that there's on-going problems with FIFA, including bugs etc, and that graphics can't be the main focus on the development team, but there is enough threads for these situations and we ask you to please make separate threads for your non-face related issues. This thread is committed to just one side of the title, something that EA has their own team for, so we ask that you respect our place and don't post for arguments sake. We respect your opinion but this isn't the place for it.
P.S. Regular feedback with mods / devs would be very much welcomed! And i have posted a FIFA 22 Star Head Thread over on EA's "Answers HQ" forum, located in the Game Information section, which seems to be regularly moderated compared to this forum, so feel free to all interact on there also! Find the link here
Lastly, there are rules that are present in this thread that you can find below and will need to abide too:
* This thread is for player face discussion only, for discussion of everything else to do with FIFA 21 please use other more appropriate threads.
* Please use the Off-Topic section to discuss PES. A small amount of PES face discussion is allowed in here but only for comparison purposes. Anything else/excessive PES face discussion will be removed.
* We understand graphics aren't everyone's cup of tea. Please be aware that we also want gameplay updates and fixes but this thread is solely just for Star Heads. EA have numerous departments working on different aspects of the game. There are gameplay-specific threads for you to air your thoughts.
* Please do not quote posts that include numerous pictures etc, nor create quote chains. Please use the Spoiler link when posting posts that contain 2+ items.

WITHOUT THE GAPS
* Please be respectful of everyone's opinion. Arguing for the sake of arguing will get us nowhere.
With all that being said, don't be afraid to join in with discussion. Here's to hopefully a great year!

There are 3 different types of faces in FIFA. They are the following:
Star Head
When a player receives the scanned treatment mentioned above:
Custom
When the player in-game is designed by the graphics team without the aide of a photoshoot:
Generic
When a player has a in-game face that is modelled on them without going into great detail:
A resident of this thread, @VapexKarma, has a popular YouTube channel that he constantly posts top quality videos on. These videos showcase many different visuals that are present in FIFA, such as player faces and face comparisons from PES, as well as players who are in need of an updated face on FIFA. His channel has only continued to increase over the past year as he fights the good fight for our struggles! You can find his channel here
EA, can you please add all the missing scans into the game!! There have been numerous videos showing players that you have scanned / re-scanned (Defoe etc) that you still haven't added to the game!? Please add them!!
Please see @RichardEleven's great spreadsheet for your best resource of missing / removed Star Heads here
Can i also please make a special mention to the devs, that it's absolutely imperative that you find a way for new Star Heads that are added via a Title Update, followed by a further Squad Update, to work in existing Career Mode saves!! It is very frustrating having to start a new Career Mode EVERY time you release a new Title / Squad Update! In fact, it got that bad in Fifa 21, i just stopped playing Fifa altogether!!

National Team scans! (Which would cover most of the top rated players in-game from being left generic! Especially if they play for a team who can't be scanned due to licensing issues.. Is there is a way to scan ALL national teams at Euro 2020 or World Cup 2022? If so, please look into doing this!)
DLC Requests
Also, on 23.4.2019, we received new updated Bayern Munich scans in Fifa 19 and the vast difference from their old scan to their new one is quite evident, especially due to the improvement in graphics on new consoles, and why it is imperative you update the afore mentioned players who are in dire need of new/updated scans! Here is proof of why on PS5 / Xbox One X we need updated scans:
FIFA 22
Rumours:
Full Ligue 1 treatment
Premier League re-scan
La Liga re-scan
Bundesliga re-scan
AC Milan
Inter Milan
Boca Juniors
Fifa Online 4 Faces
* EA has also hired more scanning rigs which should increase the number of players / teams they are able to scan and implement going forward in future Fifa games, once Covid restrictions are lifted..

The Fifa dev team may also find the following Star Heads Thread on Reddit of use: Link
We also need a lot more realistic hairstyles / beards adding to Create / Edit Real Player mode, including applying the new hair technology to all generic hairstyles!
P.S. Can you please add all the hairstyles, beards, tattoos etc from The Journey & VOLTA in to Create / Edit Real Player!!
Edit: Can i please also bring to your attention the great work @aliheidari2520 does on creating player likenesses from the in-game tools you provide in Fifa. He shouldn't need to create Icons as they are already in Ultimate Team and there should be an option to use them in Career Mode! But he could maybe assist you in creating better player likenesses for players who have generic faces that you can't scan or give custom faces too? Find his work here
👏 moderators! Can’t even move a thread to the right section👎
The moderators are a joke on the forums this shows them up so much 708000 views on the Fifa 22 Starheads page on the forums and they don’t move it to the right page on the game this yr and leave it on the Fifa 21 section
Maybe we're making too much noise and they don't like it.. It's OUR game!!
Maybe so if the page was about FUT EA would have it in the right section
U do realise this thread is about scans not gameplay 😉
Let's all go post on a Gameplay thread asking for Star Heads...
add Eliaquim Mangala to the list of lost faces as his was removed in jan 27th squad update...
TU 4 faces already out there are no faces in TU5
Yeah I just meant that we actually haven’t got the new faces in TU4, yet. Even with TU5 out.
Found some lists!
Wait… Do we really have the TU4 faces already? Since when? In which squad update would these have been in?
TU4 is Villa faces Watford faces and likes of Dele Alli update etc
Right, but there were also at least Brentford/Norwich baldies in it before they went back to generics. I imagine they were among the 124, right?
No they ain’t in that 124 most of them were just old faces added back in
Oh OK. Thanks. That’s good to know. So they’d rather just be evidence that maybe we’ll be getting Brentford/Norwich faces at some point. Still weird, but I take back my complaints about the 124, then!
Pity amad signed for rangers:( wanted him scanned so bad I think he's a fantastic young talent
Perišić update can’t come soon enough!
They are busy to worry about they have been adding mascots to the game for ultimate team and that’s so important
He’s my biggest hope for FIFA 23. Hope he’s in.
But also think 23 will be a good year purely because of the missing faces from this years iteration ie Arsenal
