I don't know if I'll be able to take advantage of this feature. I was thinking about the MyPlayer mode too. On one hand, the idea of having my own face in the game would do a ton for immersion, but if MyPlayer and its storyline is similar to last year, it seems there'd be a lot of counterforce that could zap that immersion right back out. Time shall tell.

V, you need to upgrade to an HDTV before anything else man lol. It's time, you're missing out man. Once you watch tv in HD or game in HD, you'll kick yourself for not doing it sooner.

The implication is that some people will scan their very real face, and have it rejected because the game doesn't think it's a face.

Sort of like that face-following camera that it turned out couldn't detect black people.

(I'm not joking, that really happened.)

Would be dope if we can upload our player to share on 2kshare so others could use our faces to create a fictional draft

It would be worth it just for the potential hilarity.

"Sorry, but your face scan submission was rejected by 2K servers. Reason:

Error code #40052 - Your face looks like butt."

Ha, not to delve too far off topic and I understand this will deviate from popular thought, but I'm not too phased by standard television. When I visit my family, they have HDTV's and they look fantastic, clearly superior to standard, and I play games in HD when I'm there. But it doesn't take much for me to re-adjust back to standard when I return home. The actual gaming experience tends to be the same for me.

There's all those folks out there who always say, "Who cares about graphics?! It's all about gameplay!" I've never been that guy, but I guess I'm living it. Actually, even on standard television, graphics still look incredible, just not as incredible as they can. Still, it's been enough for me. As long as I have a functioning standard, the only reason I'd contemplate an HD upgrade would be if it were required for a new gaming system (which it mostly is for PS4). Even then, I've been looking into cheap converters that'd allow me to stay standard so as to avoid dropping the cash that'd come with buying a new HD alongside HD cable.
