They'll have to add them "by hand" and seeing as they've worked on very little of them since this Summer (for the MyTeam promo in 2K20).....


Kind of pathetic, IMO, that they thought having less than half the players with official renders & most of those ported from 2K20 was/is acceptable. Hoping we see one or more updates that add more or better renders for the rookie class.

Are you saying that most of these rookie scans are from 2k20 (MyTeam), because unless there were way more MT rookies than I was aware of, that doesn’t seem to be true (ie, there seems to be like 3-4x as many cyberfaces as that)

The fact that Pokusevski looks very accurate makes me think they may have developed a way to gather scans remotely, since I dont believe hes been stateside for any of this draft stuff

That's awesome! Even if the scans aren't perfect, it's nice to start playing with them and I'm sure they'll continue on updating them.

I'm not totally sure how many were available in 2K20 MyTeam (only 5 maybe) but they only have 17 of 60 players with an official render. That means they only worked on 10 to 12 (or less) players since this Summer.

That is completely unacceptable especially knowing that some of these players won't be available for scanning for some time. Why not just make renders, patch them in for this year & update/replace into 2K22 or beyond?

They did some similar lazy **** during the release of 2K16 or 2K17 so this isn't new or an isolated situation. They lean too heavy on the scanning tech & that has hurt the graphical/aesthetic quality of this class.

How the hell didn't they have renders ready for most of these draft choices? SMDH

They better have a roster update ready soon with more renders cause this is pathetic, TBH. Especially when a lot of the CAP faces are a terrible representation of their real face.

One new gen: roster update
I have all the draftees in my roster except Vit Krejci, Marko Simonovic, Yam Mader, and Justinian Jessup

Maybe you need to re-download or maybe your just referring to the face scans but all the draftees are there but those listed and yes I agree some face scans are terrible

I'm talking about renders not who is on the file. You mistakenly said that they all had face scans or renders, but they don't & 2K only provided 17 rookies with a render.

Very disappointing & hopefully they'll add more soon cause with two - way players we'll have a ton of terrible CAP faces in the game.

And they stupidly locked every rookie onto Nike sneakers. Now people will have to use a workaround to put them with Adidas, Under Armour, New Balance, etc.

Re: Rookies have been added to the 2K Roster!

The rookies that have scans (Melo, Wiseman) look really, really good. I'm fine with the rest of them, but hopefully they get some love, too.

Kind of irritated that in MyNBA they're all locked to Nike shoes, but I think you can get around that by importing/exporting PlayerDNA, right? (I know it's because they all haven't signed shoe deals yet).

MyNBA is almost ready to go!

Re: Rookies have been added to the 2K Roster!

If anyone's a Nuggets fan i noticed they dropped Jerami Grant to free agency in the new roster. I'm guessing it was to make room for the new rookies. I just dropped Troy Daniels and added Grant back. There's probably more teams this happened to so just a heads up.

Nice! Question, does the potential rating mean that's the player's POSSIBLE ceiling and it can fluctuate up until that point, or can players pass their potential? I've never known if that was a set thing or not.
