Considering that they are seemingly more excited for game play enhancements than the game modes (which have already seen a massive list of new features) 2k could put out an unbelievable game this year

Sounds cool. I"m really excited for this version this year. Things look great and the MyLeague mode sounds awesome.

Nice. Question for you: Couldn't you simply use the facial scans from last year (for players we know that sported different hairstyles/beards like Kyrie, Lebron, DeAndre, Steph etc.) then scan them again this year when they rocked their usual appearances. This way the game can switch up the heads either by time of year (beards in the winter time) or just randomly i.e. Ben Wallace's fro/cornrows in NBA 2K5?

I'm italian and I hope there is Gigi "Jesus" Datome with scan face and beard. In 2K14 was Fotzis. Absurde.

they used to have dynamic hair styles on ps2/Xbox.

Iverson and Ben Wallace's hair style use to always change.

Iverson used to have different patterns on his head and Wallace went from cornrows to fro and back again

I think they have the same issue R* had for GTA V vs SA. R* said that they couldn't just have like four different body types like they did in SA because the graphics were not on par so it wasn't hard to tell. Basically saying it was too much work and impossible to allow you to transform the characters bodies with weight gain or weight loss. The same would apply here since they are using head scans and that includes hair so the head model only has the hair they are scanned with. There is a high probability they won't have 3 scans of the same person just for hair.
My guess is they'll probably do what they did with Iggy and that is find a hair/head model that fits his and "blend" them in a way.

Good news about CP3... that one hurt last year. I do wonder though...when they say 100%, what is that 100% of? Guys currently under contract in the league? Rosters change plenty up until opening day and beyond. A lot of D-League, International and unsigned players tend to pop-up.

Most likely the general 400+ guys you'd see active in the league at one time

I highly doubt they would/could face scan legends. In terms of legends faces I think thats as good as it gets. Remember, some of the legends are not alive, some really old now. I don't see how that would be possible.

Yeah I wish there was someway they could improve on the legend players faces. MJ looked bad to me in 2K14 next gen.

I would assume so since the scans are almost done.

Yeah Next gen Larry Bird looked like Rod Stewart smh.

Something really weird happens to Anthony Davis's face when the game is in motion. His face is all puffy and oddly proportioned. It's him, but it doesn't look right. Hope he was rescanned.

Eh? KD and Lebron were two of the better scans.

Curry however didn't even look quite like him. Something went wrong with the eyes. Please rescan please. He lives less than an hour away from Novato. Bring him in-- and while you're at it, capture his jump shot. Hell, his entire array of shots and moves.

# 37 RyanLaFalce @ 08/13/14 03:10 PM

Melo looked like a mouse. Hopefully they re-scanned him too.

the likenesses are fine.. i'm referring to the haircut/facial hair. kd, lebron, and curry look like they hadn't had a cut in weeks.

You're right. He had generic Asian face #55 in 2K14.
