NBA 2K17 Screenshot - 1992 Dream Team with Charles Barkley

Another thing that sticks out is the red numbers and logo looking so pink. Hopefully it's a wip. The flag in the background is a nice deep red too, so you can't really blame the lighting.

I honestly don't see why they still couldn't scan their faces and just go in and touch them up (slim them down, add hair where need be, eliminate wrinkles, etc.). Is that possible?

I can assure you that we'd be in the same boat or worse off because not all of those guys would probably want to be bothered with showing up to do the scanning. Barkley barely signed on to do nothing but have his likeness in the game and collect a paycheck with zero promotional work involved. You really think he's flying out to the Bay Area to sit in a chair for however long the scanning process is?

since I'm not a dev, I guess I can make the assumption they can't use previous scans from previous games or can they? But if they can, where are they? Did someone lose them in the data base? Another question, do guys like Jordan have to come into get a scan, that would have been impossible for his 86 face? I guess I don't understand the face scanning issue for older faces. Is there a different procedure? How would you do a scan for a deceased player like Dennis Johnson or Wilt?

Not bad to me, but can't 2k just farm out legend captures to the pc community and incorporate those faces into the game?

Looks like they scanned John Stockton with some of that sick 2k15 face scan tech lol.

Just based on various tidbits we've gotten from game developers over the years, I would assume that there is some sort of work involved more than just taking the previous face data and loading it on the new game. They didn't ever scan faces of the legends at all, those assets were created for each specific year I believe. Not a developer either so I'm just guessing like you lol. But I think particularly the faces they used on the old gen consoles would certainly have to be completely redone since they were designed for completely different tech.
