NBA 2K15 - How to Face Scan Yourself into the Game

01:23 PM - September 17, 2014 by Steve_OS

As mentioned earlier this morning, NBA 2K15 will allow Xbox One (with Kinect) and PlayStation 4 (with PlayStation 4 camera) gamers to scan their faces into the game. These can be used in MyCAREER and MyGM modes.

Check out the video to see how it works.

UPDATE: You can re-face scan at any point as you wish. Grow a beard? Have a nice goatee? Get a shiner? All up to you. Will update on spot.

If you are looking for a PlayStation 4 camera, they are on sale for $40.21.

Check out the official press release below.

2K today revealed all-new, in-game face scan technology for next gen consoles that enables NBA 2K15 players to put themselves into the game like never before. Players can scan their face into NBA 2K15 directly through native, first-party camera hardware, allowing them to take customization to a new level for their MyPlayer. Now players can see themselves live the life of an NBA athlete in MyCareer mode and play alongside familiar faces online in multiplayer gameplay modes. With 2K�s facial scanning technology, NBA 2K15 will be the first game on next gen consoles to allow players to create a true, 3D representation of their face.

Developed by Visual Concepts, a 2K studio, NBA 2K15 is rated E for Everyone by the ESRB. NBA 2K15 is scheduled for release on October 7 in North America, and on October 10 internationally for the PlayStation�3 and PlayStation�4 computer entertainment systems, the Xbox One all-in-one games and entertainment system and Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft; and Windows PC.

I hope that people will understand that this is the first year, and it won't be absolutely perfect. It will be perfected throughout the years. I just fear we are going to have 1000 threads complaining about face and neck coloration and such.

It's cool tech, it will be built upon. Great way of evolving MyPlayer

I don't really understand what we would od otherwise. If you don't scan your face, you have to have a starting point to work from

It doesn't use a picture to generate the model like in EA game face but the 3D model it generates from the two cameras of Kinect/PS camera. But Kinect for Windows exists so they could have allowed us to use that.

No. The Kinect 2.0 (same one as the one on Xbox One) is available for $200.

It doesnt have to be the greatest game of all time. I dont expect that. I just expect effort and I am seeing that. I am excited and saving all the tired jadedness and cynicism for once.

In fairness "Is this the big news?" and "is it on PC?" are reasonable things that any fan wants to know.

My sentiments exactly... People complain when you do nothing and stay stagnant. But when you try to make a good experience better or upgrade or improve they complain even more. 2k could've just rested on its laurels like Madden did for years, but actually have touched up every mode to the best of their ability that we (the community) complained about and had added new things do... I'm starting to Worry, because the People who help make this game actually drops by and comments and answers questions, but if all they see is whining in complaint why continue to communicate. I'm not saying dont criticize that's always good when it leads to progression but be thoughtful with it and actually form it to where it can lead to a change in the future. Because as you can see 2k cares what this site thinks, just don't want the
To stop.

Considering it's still early in the technology and the way it's used, don't expect a too advanced scan. It won't be close to 100% but it's a cool feature.

You know, that might actually look better than the official facescan of you last year.
