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.

Great question. I haven't seen a single legend myself so I'm not sure. My hope is that they had their artists spend all their available time make the legends as close to scanned as possible.

Now that you mention it. I wonder if legends are capable of all the emotions the scanned faces are?

Did you see any of the premade faces?

The reason I said that is because the faces in CH 2k8 were more textured and (arguably) better contoured than the latest iterations of current-gen 2K.

Looking at the range of colors on McElmore's forehead alone just reminds me of Choops. It's probably the gloss/sweat effect.

New tech or not, it all looks amazing.

Kyrie should ask for a screenshot

I guess 2k ignored the skinny build guys so long, they figured, hey it's the muscular guys turn. The faces look great, but, as others have said Xavier is way too skinny man.

^ lol true....also noticeable on Iggy...now that we have seen Durant I also want to see Karl Malones body type...

# 69 thareezen @ 10/28/13 12:19 AM

I know what you meant, but that's not what uncanny valley only means.

It's true definition is kind of negative, as it's the term used to explain the negative feelings humans get from watching things that look close-to-real-life but aren't.

Anyway, I knew you meant to sound positive. The faces look amazing.

Kings jerseys are actually purple and not blue!

I think Iggy is perfect from the trailers we've seen of him.. In my opinion he was way too big in previous 2K's and is a lot more skinny that most people actually think he's ...

Its not the size it's the lack of muscle definition.... Iggy is one cut dude...

I can see how that can be misunderstood, let me explain. In current gen, they never got the color right and it's always been blue instead of purple. They finally got the color right.

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.

I'd have to see the difference but I think it might be acceptable if the shaders were of the same quality as scanned characters. They could have used some real scanned elements, some high quality artist created ones, allowed us to mix and match, and allowed us to tweak proportions to get an approximate of what we're going for. It would take a lot of work to do well though, but I think this is really needed to nail the MyPlayer experience, or else it's going to feel like MyChrisLD2K or MyCzar.

There is going to be a bunch of DaCzar clones in The Park. Not sure if terrible or awesome.

You can see Kyrie's body type is unique
