NBA 2K16 Features Body Scans for More Player Authenticity

Anyone remember NBA Street on the 360 and PS3 when you created your guy and they let you choose a face of an NBA player then you could morph it? I think they should do the same with bodies, even tattoos this year. Like take Lebron's body type and even choose his ink to go with it. And I would hope this could translate into the association modes too... Off the top of my head, Thad Young when he was younger on the Sixers was just like Jerami Grant is now: skinny, but long and had broad shoulders. Meaning he had the template to put weight and strength on. Look at Thad now...he's pretty built but he's still quicker than most 4s. It would be cool to bulk up rookies or slim down veterans like Shaq (tried lol). I don't know how far this technology can actually go, but I remember older 2K's if you put your weight past a certain amount your body would become thicker...so it's not like it's never been done before.

Im actually surprise 2K doesnt do this. I wonder this every year. Besides tats, which may have legal reasons.

Why arent the body styles, hair styles, and facial features that are use on the NBA Player allowed for use on our MyCareer Player?

Looks like mouthpieces may be in for 2k16.

They got Steph scanned chewing on his mouthpiece. Would be a nice little touch.

Nice, hopefully it's true. Will add to the authenticity.

Also, looks like armpit hair scans are under way. Finally!

I am looking forward to edit body types for the classic players as well. Get tired of seeing a Shaq that compares to other guys...there was no comparison. Really interested to hear about the classic players and teams added. Love the fact that body scans are in. One of my biggest issues with 2k15.. getting excited for more info to drop!

That's like getting that lower jaw thing from Kobe in a few years ago.

Would absolutely LOVE this.

But it can't just be a static part of the model, right? Chris Paul does this a lot too with his mouthpiece, but he also will take it out when eh barks out commands and such.

Man, I'm really awaiting some news to drop that I can chew on. Of course, that also means fiends will chew it up, but whatever.

Good things and those who wait and all.

I'd like to hear if this level of attention has also been given to courts and arenas. There have been several inaccurate and poorly rendered courts over the last few years.

Very cool. I wonder if Westbrook's Live endorsement make it harder for 2k to get him in for scanning? Vice versa for Live with Curry,Harden,Davis?

2K finally motion capturing Steph but will still find a way to ruin his shooting form.
