FIFA 13 gameface!

Yep I got FIFA 13 a few months ago for my Xbox 360 and its a great addition to the series (especially the seasons online mode!).

As I have done before on FIFA 11, I wanted to give The gameface feature a bash. Gameface basically allows you to download a head model created on the ea games website that you create based off a profile and a portrait photo you upload. The result being, your created 'pro' looks just like you.

I gave this 2 attempts. The first (right photo) looks great and very accurate......apart from the blue 'avatar like' neck colour. This is due to my beard and therefore the colour tone its picked for my neck is from my bears, not my actual neck.

Obviously I wanted to do better and after a bit of trial and error with the colour correction sliders when I input my photos, I came up with this (2nd right photo). Not perfect, slightly orange and I have the scariest eyes ever (clearly they did not render accurately!). After downloading this to FIFA however, the result is pretty decent and despite the fact I am slightly more tanned in it than real life, I have used that one. I will just put the skin colour down to if I was a real professional footballer, I'd be outside more anyway!


Overall, a good feature which makes a change from all the other character generators in games which although are very in-depth and incredible use of technology to get them into cut scenes etc..., you never actually get them anywhere near to yourself. Basically from my point of view, I only ever use the character builders to build me and gameface gets it 10x closer and 10x quicker than manually selecting nose heights and eyebrow widths. Gameface is only going to get better so thumbs up for ea gameface!

And just so you can see the images I uploaded, here they are:
