NBA 2K18 Video - Developer Diary: The Art Behind the Game

The new Face creator looks like it's going to be so much easier & less time consuming, IMO....All we gotta focus on is the face and pay attention to the numbers now....Facial features rotate, reposition, and change sizes, as you adjust the scale...No longer do we gotta settle for presets & go through the hassle of trying to figure out where to place each dot....Lord knows how frustrating that was.

I'm sure that this new system is going to give us the ability to come up with really accurate faces (far better than what we had in years past)

Just gonna take some getting used to.

Has there been any word - perhaps something I missed during the Switch announcement - that these details will be in the Nintendo Switch version of NBA 2K18?

I'm excited to have the game available to me while on the train since I barely have time to game at home at the moment. But, if it's a watered down version of the game, I'll pass. I understand it won't be as amazing as the PS4 and XBOX versions, but it should still include these art details.

Just hoping for tattoos (for those roster creators) & a broader variety of hairstyles as far as CAP is concerned. Everything else I'm excited for ! A month is too long [emoji23]

Am I the only one here who doesn't remember the CAP system being different from the MyCareer CAP system outside of face scanning? Like I know the had the jumpshot thing (I always prefered the regular one with the form and base), but the actual editing of the actual player faces were always the same to me. It's how I would take my myplayer and put them in a draft class for my association/myleague.

This honestly just lowered my concerns. It can't be too different. Only thing I really expect them to not carryover, are tattoos

This looks fantastic man....

They even improved some of the guys that already looked good.

Finally captured CP3....I wonder of they finally nailed Wade too..

I've been waiting on CP3 to be redone, and looks like they got him right.

2k uploaded this video in 4k. I originally watched on my phone but it looks even crazier on my Samsung.

I wonder why they chose to tease DWade and Melo. I think they could both benefit from a new scan. Especially Melo, he looked like 40 year old Melo in 2k17

This^. Dot placement had to be impeccable for a decent looking CAP, which alone was a hard task to complete

Wwooowww, the players look great! Love the lighting too. Definitely seems like 2k18 is gonna look very realistic. They may have reached a new level in regards to photo-realisticness.

Good to hear that the CAPs have been an area of focus. But from what i can tell by the visuals seen in the video it looks much of the same though: artificial looking faces. They look plastic and generic. But will wait and see how it looks when i actually play the game. Hopefully roster/draft class makers can still make players look unique via tats, body size, accessories, etc.

Looks like body size is tied to the weight number though, which i guess isn't too bad... it's better than no bodytype customisability at all.

Need to see how it all looks in 5-on-5 gameplay before making any conclusions
