Scanning Your Face Into NBA 2K15 Is Kind of Hard

[Ritch211]

I had no trouble. Did it on first shot. Waited till the day when natural light was coming through the windows. And held a piece of paper below by neck to help give more light. The trick I think is to move SLOWLY and only about 30 degrees left and right. Lighting is the real factor I think.
Mine turned out better than I could have thought possible. Good luck guys.

Yep, that's exactly what I did in the tutorial i did and got 6500 first shot.

This Damn kinect camera won't read my face unless im far away & my shoulders end up in the box but it always ends up putting my eyes down by my nostrils & so on. Frustrating!

EXACTLY!!! The Kinect is a dumber camera than I thought!! My Kinect doesn't even read my gestures! and I put a spotlight in my room to brighten everything and used natural light from the window!!

Agreed. face scanning in a closed environment with techs and what not doing them works. getting people to do this at home with so many different variables such as lighting, distance, head movement, and lets be honest, in some cases just plain ol human stupidy and you had to know this wouldnt go smoothly. EA Game face isnt exactly easy or without problems either. I had to photoshop my beard off in order to not have a white face and a black neck in Fifa. Also with game face skin tones are way off.

agreed.

It's hard to get the best lighting because there is nothing telling you that you have great lighting. Some ppl have the light but then their face is way too light. They needed a better instructional video and it is frustrating when you start the scan and you barely move and it loses your face. I finally got a human face but I had less than 3,000 reference points. The tutorials help but there is no perfect science to it.

There are too many variables at play to get a good scan. I got it to work okay, but the lighting in my gameroom is not great so the face ends up looking bruised and discolored.

I'm struggling to even get the green window to come up!

What I'm wondering is, out of all those horrible scans, how many of them actually followed the instructions entirely and used the best lighting possible.

People talk about "Your Not following Directions"... First of all. The vast majority of those who bought this game do NOT have a Photographers studio in their home. Why even have face scan if the conditions have to be Studio quality light, Tripods, backdrops like your filming a movie. Why even put it in the game? Thats like touting that your new Cell Phone has the greatest GPS.... but only if I'm standing in a puddle with a Wire Hanger pointed above your head at a perfect 90 degree angle... oh and if there's one cloud in the sky it won't work....

I'm going to lose track of my fn head pretty soon. This is a frustrating process and I have tried everything I could think of. PS4

lol, all I can think of when seeing those faces in the OP:

JR: "IS THAT A HUMAN!?!"

Appreciate the video but that is too much work to be going through. But if its worth your time to go through all that then good luck. The should have done like EA did and just upload a photo online and download the created cyberface to your game like in FIFA 14.
