I think scanning the whole head makes it an easier transition to achieve photo realistic results. EA just scanning the face means that they are probably placing and moving around features to appear proportionate. Who knows tho.

EA's setup being portable doesn't really help their case.. 2k has much more face scans in nba than ea has in madden or nhl

Re: EA's Face Scanning Tech

I'm excited Madden we'll have more real face scans in the game. Now we just need to get rid of that black silhouettes for players who don't have pictures, it takes away the realism... We are on next gen now, I wouldn't mind if they brought back the CGI faces, they would probably looks pretty realistic at this point.

Yeah he looked nothing like his real self. They could have gone ultra generic with a blond buzzcut and still done better.

What do you mean? Ever since madden 12, the players in each draft class had portraits but they were not really that accurate. Examples of this would be there would be a portrait of a player with short hair and his player model would have dreadlocks or the portrait would be of a white guy and the player model would be a black guy or vise versa

Re: EA's Face Scanning Tech

The one major missing component of the picture is context. Is the 2K picture being taken at their studio? Is the EA one being taken offsite somewhere? Could explain the differences in tech.

The 2k photo wasnt taken in their studio. It was taken in Vegas. The difference is EA's tech is completely portable. Meaning that it requires very little setup. As you can see 2k's requires significant space so while they can travel to different cities and set it up, its not as easy to travel with.

Whats interesting is that EA used tech similar to 2k's when they made their UFC game. Because of the size of the tech, they had to setup scans for events like International Fight Week and major UFC cards when they knew tons of UFC fighters would be there to be scanned.
