This is bad news for some MyGM guys who don't want their my player to look like a basketball player. Now they can't make their GM look like an existing one either. That's not going to make a lot of people happy that your MyPlayer isn't you or a real GM. Are there GM-looking old guys available? Ack, the Park is going to be full of clones too. These are kind of strange last-gen feeling decisions.

I'm sure you guys are disappointed however would you really want created faces that may look like gen 3 with how awesome the Gen 4 scanned heads are ?

To get a player created face to show all that emotion etc. and not look crazy is probably going to take some serious work.

In the presentation they talked about how they didn't even want to put in any artist created faces because of the drastic difference between the scanned and in house artist created.

Also keeping in mind all the systems they completely rebuilt and the fact they made 2 games this year. There had to be some area's where they couldn't just blow everything out.

I had my scan done earlier so i will be in the game. I was told that those done at the even just had a scan done for them personally originally I thought they would be included in the game. It appears they will not.

There isn't an 2k clip out there, but Just to show you how detailed the face scanning is. You're not going to get that level of detail with a kinect or eyetoy.

Any chance of having Asian faces? I was planning on creating a 7'2 finesse center as my next myplayer for next gen....

I'm guessing since that myplayer has some sort of story mode that it needs to show off your players emotion? Explains the preset heads....I just hope we have a variety of faces to choose from....its just not black and white anymore since basketball is a more global sport now...

When I was there they were scanning everyone they could get their hands on LOL. Janitors, whoever was near ROTFLOL! So Maybe.

Im sorry but there is absolutely nothing that hints or at least point to this fact. There is no way 2k is using any old technology, these faces were scanned (possibly last season). Well, at least im hoping its all new.

I have no problem with this as long as we still don't look like clay figures

I hope this pre made face thing was fully thought through, because as ugly as the current gen created guys are, I would hate to see a lot of duplicates of rookies with the same face in mygm mode but just with different names. Hopefully hair, skin color, accessories and tattoos are all random for each rookie every draft.

Hopefully for the guys like me who don't want the young looking gm, they scanned some older guys heads too. And I also wonder if we can still create draft classes this year??

My only question with the face scanning is since legends are in the game...are the legend player models of the same graphical quality as the scanned current players? Judging from the trailers, gameplay, and screenshots the player models are extremely true to life and accurate. Nothing has been shown or mentioned about the legends in the game aside from Ronnie2k confirming their inclusion. So I'm just wondering if the legend player models are the same quality as the current roster player models? Honestly if 2K released a next gen Michael Jordan screenshot on par with the LeBron, Ray Allen, and Kobe screens we have already gotten. Operation Sports would likely crash and pre orders would skyrocket.
