With faces the game visually helps to have a more immediate approach with players, making them easier to recognize and giving them a human resemblance that shows a distinct personality.
For long time player faces can be seen by supporter only. Before Hattrick site restyling, faces were smaller, squared and less cartoonish.By paying extra credits, each player's face can be shaped and modified. The manager also has an avatar that can only be created and shown with supporter's features.
Face Generation
Like anything on the site, all face elements are designed and created by the illustrator Beach.
The face is generated randomly mixing basic elements based on the player's personality and nationality: "skin" for Mediterranean players, for example, are darker on average and their hair is black, while the Scandinavian players have lighter skin and their hair is often blonde or ginger.
The system also takes into account the minorities of the various countries: many French players have a North African appearance; some English players are of an Asian appearance and speak Hindi. There are players with a North African appearance that speak Tunisian and Swedish black players speaking South African Tribal

Unordinary Faces
|
In some cases and due to a bug, the players shirt disappear when the team jersey is deleted (leaving the entire upper body empty). |
|
If you choose a female manager, you can find a one-eyed element with an obviously angry mood. |

"Pixel Art" Faces (2001-2008)
|
|
| Faces style before 2008 |
Illustrator Beach also created very appreciated "pixel art" faces (a bit dated in terms of style and then discharged for a more cartoonish, style). Pixel art faces were all so similar and so little modifiable that ended up giving the impression that there were very few variants in players.

Optional New Faces (2020)
 | This page or section requires updating. Some of its content is out of date or needs addition of new data. You can help Hattrick Wiki by updating this page or section. |
The release is currently on standby. This new faces version was expected in the last few months of 2019, it was then postponed for the first time to mid 2020 and finally frozen.
The results achieved so far have been defined unsatisfactory by HTs, with no improvement compared to the graphics currently in use, despite the community showing great interest and expectations for the project.
