Hilarious Mr.Smif lol! I know I'm not going to be scruffy on my face scan.

And to all the negative comments like "I don't care" "so THIS is the BIG announcement?" "I don't have a camera so this announcement sucks"

Jeez it takes a lot to impress you guys. Believe it or not, this appeals to the majority of the 2k basketball community. What's more immersive than being able to actually play as yourself? Seeing yourself in the cutscenes, in game.. It will definitely be an exciting experience for most of us with just this new feature alone.

It sucks if you can't face scan on PC, but I'm sure they have a good reason for it. Either technical limitations or other reasons, which they will probably explain.

I for one absolutely love this. So much that I'm going to buy a ps4 camera just for this. I already have an xbone with Kinect, but I want to play 2k on my ps4 this year.

I appreciate their work and progress in the 2k series. There are bumps along the ride, but overall.. They've done an excellent job. It sickens me to see comments like "it looks like last year" lol like there's a way to drastically improve something that looks MORE HD than nba games broadcasted in hd.

This new face scan feature is excellent news. I can't wait to see what else they have in store for us.

Great news. Now a couple voice options (at least let us tweet the pitch of the current voice) and MUCH better tattoo options and I might start dancing


...oh, AND UNIFORM SELECT IN MYCAREER. I'm not letting that one go

[GudStuffzz]

YES! I really wasnt planning on playing MyCareer that much anymore but this news got me sooooo hype.

I completely agree with you! For guys on the PC who have made good cyberfaces of themselves, we know that it makes playing the game so much more immersive. I'll probably only be on PC this year but I'm not hating on the console guys at all, I'm glad 2k got this feature in. It's definitely a big announcement that I didn't think would happen. These Devs put in work this year!

No, but the premise of putting peoples actual faces in the game is something EA did last gen. Making it more convenient certainly is a step in the right direction. However lets not act like the concept and tech has just been given to us with this announcement.

^Thankfully, the scanning 2K does on the NBA players looks a lot better.
