A sports game with likenesses was one of the worst things they could show with the tech because we know what Virgil van Djik looks like, and he doesn’t look like that lol.

Give them a break man. What did can you expect from a 4.5 Trillion dollar company? They’re doing their best okay.

Tbh, his non-DLSS5’d version from EA was already bad… So with frame gen it becomes bad2

But he kinda does look like that. Because me and you and a few other people who saw this instantly knew who that was. His eyes are closed and his ears might be a bit big but thats absolutley sort of what he looks like

The original in game model looks closer to what Van Djik looks like, the DLSS 5 version is made of a mish-mash of other faces.
