There are three new updates for March:

First, we have a whole new face system. Gone are those ugly old computer-generated player faces and in their places are some brand new faces created by an artist.

Players now have nationalities. You can see them on the player popup and tooltip screens. Players come from 18 countries: Austria, Canada, Czechia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, and USA.

Unrestricted free agents and players in the draft pool now also have nationalities and names that are appropriate for their place of origin. Origins are weighted so you will see more Canadians, Americans and Russians, for example, than Slovenes, Britons and Danes.
