Can't wait to see how they put this all together

How exactly would they use this on legends, mens that have retired tens of years ago.

Obviously they're not gonna call Sidney Moncrief in for a scan lol. I'm talking more along the lines of these scans allowing for more body type choices for legends as well as current players and generated players. This should create more variety in player types.

Super Sid does the Bucks telecasts. It could be possible.

I know people are worried this is just a visual enhancement but if it is the "two words" that 2k discussed then remember he also said it was driving the AI programmers crazy(thinking collision detection).

I actually think this is a major step if we are getting body scans that are done right. Remember back when 2k only had a few guys with Signature shots and dribble moves like Kobe and McGrady? Now everyone has there own which really enhances the game. It will probably take a couple years to nail down but I'm all for innovation.

WHen thI think different body types would be a huge improvement.

I'm really hoping this is more than just visually upgrading the game.

I mean obviously it's cool that people have different bodies but I think guys with huge shoulders like Dwight and AD should have the advantages them shoulders give them...
same with blocking/contesting shots with a longer wingspan.

Anyone remember NBA Street on the 360 and PS3 when you created your guy and they let you choose a face of an NBA player then you could morph it?
I think they should do the same with bodies, even tattoos this year.
Like take Lebron's body type and even choose his ink to go with it.

And I would hope this could translate into the association modes too...
Off the top of my head, Thad Young when he was younger on the Sixers was just like Jerami Grant is now: skinny, but long and had broad shoulders. Meaning he had the template to put weight and strength on. Look at Thad now...he's pretty built but he's still quicker than most 4s.

It would be cool to bulk up rookies or slim down veterans like Shaq (tried lol).

I don't know how far this technology can actually go, but I remember older 2K's if you put your weight past a certain amount your body would become thicker...so it's not like it's never been done before.

Im actually surprise 2K doesnt do this. I wonder this every year. Besides tats, which may have legal reasons.

Why arent the body styles, hair styles, and facial features that are use on the NBA Player allowed for use on our MyCareer Player?

Looks like mouthpieces may be in for 2k16.

They got Steph scanned chewing on his mouthpiece. Would be a nice little touch.

Nice, hopefully it's true. Will add to the authenticity.

Also, looks like armpit hair scans are under way. Finally!

Re: NBA 2K16 Features Body Scans for More Player Authenticity

I am looking forward to edit body types for the classic players as well. Get tired of seeing a Shaq that compares to other guys...there was no comparison. Really interested to hear about the classic players and teams added. Love the fact that body scans are in. One of my biggest issues with 2k15.. getting excited for more info to drop!

That's like getting that lower jaw thing from Kobe in a few years ago.

Would absolutely LOVE this.

But it can't just be a static part of the model, right? Chris Paul does this a lot too with his mouthpiece, but he also will take it out when eh barks out commands and such.

Man, I'm really awaiting some news to drop that I can chew on. Of course, that also means fiends will chew it up, but whatever.

Good things and those who wait and all.

Re: NBA 2K16 Features Body Scans for More Player Authenticity

I'd like to hear if this level of attention has also been given to courts and arenas. There have been several inaccurate and poorly rendered courts over the last few years.

Re: NBA 2K16 Features Body Scans for More Player Authenticity

Very cool. I wonder if Westbrook's Live endorsement make it harder for 2k to get him in for scanning? Vice versa for Live with Curry,Harden,Davis?

2K finally motion capturing Steph but will still find a way to ruin his shooting form.

Mouth pieces isn't a big addition, but I would love to see mouthpieces added.

So will we be able to 3D print an NBA player?
