I'm already in access and spent most of my time in the CC. I can 100% confirm that is a downgrade from DAI. For males you choose from several pre-made presets in which little can be changed. There are no beard options. No cheekbone and jaw line adjustment sliders, no eye shape options, eye brow options limited, eye color options limited and finally the worst offender is that skin tone options favor people of color more than pale people.
One thing I liked about DAI was the CC which was although not perfect, good enough. MEA is a downgrade.
Anyone else in access agree?

Pro tip: you can't make a vanderloo clone, not enough sliders to do it.
Bioware failed us in the CC. Might as well play as the shitty default Scott....oh gawd.

Downgraded CC is an overall net negative. MEA should have had more or be at least on par with the CC quality of Inquisition since you know, both games are developed by the same company, using the same engine and assets...

Putting fidelity and texture quality aside, ME:A's character creator is even a downgrade from ME1's in terms of customisation, let alone DAI's. At least in ME1 you could cycle through different eye/nose/mouth shapes and mix-and-match them, as well as adjust a (limited) series of sliders. In ME:A you're basically stuck with the provided presets and some very barebones sliders. You can make some minor, trivial adjustments with them, but good luck changing the eye/nose/mouth shape of the presets in any meaningful way.

There are even less customisation options than the original trilogy, for crying out loud. You're basically stuck with the predetermined presets. Sure, you can change the hairstyle and cover the face in some silly makeup, but this CC is completely and utterly lacking in tools to mold/change the facial features themselves. If it's a downgrade from games that came out in 2007, 2010 and 2012, then it's a problem.

No, Andromeda should be judged by its content and thats it. Comparing it to other games just sets yourself up for being let down. Its not the games fault or even the dev's that your disappointed by the CC, when you build up idea of what it should be you cant appreciate it for what it is.

If it seemed like the more limited choices were a trade off for better quality and facial animations I think people might accept it, but that's really not the impression I get at the moment.

You might be right in this (I kind of agree), but the problem is that, regardless of the fact you can make good looking Ryders (from what I saw) the CC is severely limited in options, even without comparing it to other games.

The main problem is animations. Though yes, with the idea of having scanning faces with limited cc options, some of the presets should've been better.

Well its just that 80% of the complaints i see about this game is "MEA doesnt do X like Y" and thats not a fair way to judge MEA at all.

Its not the games fault or even the dev's that your disappointed by the CC, when you build up idea of what it should be you cant appreciate it for what it is. Okay, I'll judge it purely by it's content. It fails at being a character creator because it lacks the fundamental ability to change and manipulate the facial features of the selected presets. For example, you like the eyes of one of the presets but don't like the nose? Maybe you imagine the face would look better with an impish, upturned nose? Well too bad, because you can't change it! The nose shape itself is essentially set in stone. Every single person who chooses preset 8 will have a character that basically looks identical. Every single person who chooses preset 3 will have a character that basically looks identical. And so on. The biggest deciding factor of what your character is going to look like by a wide, wide margin is which preset you choose. Not what slider settings you lovingly and painstakingly selected. It essentially fails at being a character creator at all. It's more of a "character chooser". Choose one of nine predetermined characters and change the hairstyle. Voila, you're done.
