Face Scanning Coming to NBA 2K15
EA Sports debuted the "Game Face" feature now seven years ago, but the company never invested in updating it and lately have phased out of most of their titles. Game Face utilizes webcams or actual photographs of people to craft created player faces in games. It has always been hit or miss, with some severe problems along the way, but also some decent representations of users or even celebrity recreations that led to some legal concerns. While the NBA 2K series has offered up arguably ...

2K Sports today released news on improvements and additions coming for MyTeam mode in NBA 2K15. MyTeam is the company's attempt at cloning the Ultimate Team model from EA Sports' titles and was first introduced in 2K13.

The overall ratings calculation has changed with NBA 2K15 and only four players will be rated 90+. The floor seems to have risen, and the ceiling lowered somewhat, compressing more players in the middle.

NBA 2K15 MyGM Mode Details
One month ago 2K Sports announced a new highly-customizable offline association mode known as MyLeague for NBA 2K15. Now the company is talking about its carry-over MyGM mode which replaced the more traditional association mode last year by attempting to add more life to the management duties but stumbled with the misguided implementation of Virtual Currency that hampered the experience all throughout 2K14. Big changes are in store with 2K15 and none less crucial than the reduction of ...
