Again when have I said it's no big deal? I said the premise isn't new and it lessen some of the OMG affect. I still love the addition and if I do end up with 2K it'll be the first thing I do. People have read way too much into that one sentence.

I have no dog in the fight. I just want the best simulation on court with the best BAP mode. Whoever delivers will be the game I purchase if I don't get both.

I've been wanting this feature since I was a kid.

Looks good, now hopefully we'll be able to choose the length of our socks....

Somebody get DWade to sit in front of a Kinect/PS4 Eye Toy and upload his FaceScan to a custom roster!

woof woof

You come across as a yappy dog most of the time. It's not a good look if you wanna stick around these parts.

Pretty sure you couldn't edit in goggles in 2k14, unless you're talking about the PS3/360 versions. I know in 2k13 you could.


Posted this in another thread, but it looks like Larry Sanders may be wearing goggles this year. Really hope we'll be able to add goggles/glasses (and headbands, with different colors) to NBA players in the edit screen.

Of course the premise isn't new. It's the realization of that premise and it's ideal that is. The fact that it's been tried in the past with less than satisfactory results is what makes it even more exiting.

It's like saying that the availability of cell phones isn't quite as exiting because we had fisher price walkie talkies growing up-- when in fact it's one big step towards the realization of a dream. It remains an industry first and a first for 2K or any basketball game, which makes it even more exciting for someone who cares about any of the above.

If 3D scanning featured on Live, it wouldn't have made sense to say "this isn't new, cause Gameface" either. I know as someone who thinks the Live series is sub par, I would still have stewed in jealousy.
