Importing celebs and players photos in nba 2k16

NBA 2k16 should have it like WWE 2k16 where players that are not in the game can be importing into the game. It is more easier to create that player. http://attackofthefanboy.com/news/yo...s-in-wwe-2k16/

Yeah, I think photo scanning would be much easier for MyPlayers and CAPs. It would save a lot of time, and the stuff people would create would be amazing.

Much agreed. The face scanning was a little difficult and the results weren't always up to par.

Face Scan actually worked great if you did it right. Perfect scans in NBA 2K15 needed the following for a great scan:
* Natural or Pure White lighting (not light bulbs with a yellowish tint)
* In green box only put eyes and nose (unlike what game says with full head in frame) since it gives scan greater detail due to face closer to camera.
* Move head VERY slowely during scan process.

Importing like WWE would be great especially how it 'looks' improved from 2k15 in the 2k16 version coming up for CAPs that aren't ourselves though like said before.

NBA 2k can keep the face scan and import pics. It would be nice to import cap and players like Reggie Miller and Charles Barkley.

This picture scan technology has been available but if I remember correctly in reading about this a couple years ago there is some kind of legal issue. The issue isn't with the picture scan itself but with you using the athlete's name in the cap. Like I said because it was years ago I don't quite remember the exact context of what the legal issue was. Something along the lines of sports games circumventing getting a person's permission to use their name/image in a game. As I remember it wasn't clear if it would be a violation or not but gaming companies didn't want to even risk the legal hassles. Now it may be allowable now, IDK. Now that being said I do think it would be sooooo awesome if we could do this in NBA 2K.

I am thinking it is a legal issue. But if WWE 2k can do it why not NBA 2k? WWE 2k and NBA 2k may have different rules IDK maybe that is why.

One uses a person's given, legal name (NBA), and the other uses a person's stage name (WWE). Maybe that's the difference.

This tech has been around for awhile now don't know why 2k has yet to implement it.

User created legends would be better than what 2k provides.

Pretty sure I used this technology in NBA Live 2000 on PC...

Re: Importing celebs and players photos in nba 2k16

its kinda the same issue video games had in the mid to late 90's with Jordan and Barkley. They were not part of NBAPA lic or something so live 96 or 97 had code you put in for created player and bam you had Jordan and Barkley with all there stats and info and etc. Then they got sued by them.

So image now with how game's look , I can see miller and Barkley filling lawsuit like mj did against a super market. That's why its not done. Not even sure if with pro am / cat we can add and logo we want like ea sports logo or nfl logo or kfc something like that.

I think everyone should want a better cap face system kinda like there tats system.

just saying
