Scanning Your Face Into NBA 2K15 Is Kind of Hard

12:23 PM - October 7, 2014 by RaychelSnr

While the face-scanning tech can work really really well (see our thread for some great examples of it working right) it also can create beings of a sort that will give you nightmares for weeks.

We're talking Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Left For Dead type of grotesque here. A team full of these 'things' is probably a viral video waiting to happen.

To get a proper Facescan, you have to carefully follow the on-screen instructions while ensuring you have proper lighting. A lack of either can result in some really messed up situations.

I hope you sleep well tonight.

Update: Some are asking how to scan your face properly. Here's a great video from ipodkingcarter showing you how to properly scan your face.

People talk about "Your Not following Directions"... First of all. The vast majority of those who bought this game do NOT have a Photographers studio in their home. Why even have face scan if the conditions have to be Studio quality light, Tripods, backdrops like your filming a movie. Why even put it in the game? Thats like touting that your new Cell Phone has the greatest GPS.... but only if I'm standing in a puddle with a Wire Hanger pointed above your head at a perfect 90 degree angle... oh and if there's one cloud in the sky it won't work....

I'm going to lose track of my fn head pretty soon. This is a frustrating process and I have tried everything I could think of. PS4

Appreciate the video but that is too much work to be going through. But if its worth your time to go through all that then good luck. The should have done like EA did and just upload a photo online and download the created cyberface to your game like in FIFA 14.
