Another year, another edition of 2k’s beloved NBA franchise. With the release of NBA2k17 comes it’s new and improved “face scan” feature. But just how improved is it?
2k introduced its face scan technology in 2014 to allow users to experience a more life-like game. Players can scan their face into the game through the PlayStation Camera or Xbox Kinect and the game will render a realistic image for the user’s career mode player. The problem is, this feature has always been known to be quite buggy. 2k claims to have improved the face scan software in the 2k17 edition, but users are still finding errors.
Here are some of the best… er… worst face scans so far.
The Four-Eyed Triple Nose
Either 2k didn’t fix all of the problems, or Trevor needs to see a plastic surgeon. Pronto.

Riff Raff The Uber Driving Witch
Honestly, I couldn’t come up with a better name for this one if I tried. Kudos to Jacob (@Captian_Clutch) for his creativity.

Green Is The New Black(face)
If you thought blackface was bad, look at this guy appropriating Martian culture with greenface. I wonder if J’onn J’onzz will be joining Colin Kaepernick in protesting.
I don’t recall giving my @NBA2K MyPlayer green face paint… pic.twitter.com/wAFXP8BTO3

Don’t Disrespect Me Bro
Ever have that problem where you sleep too much and need to find a way to keep yourself up at night? Maybe you’re constipated and need something to scare the living crap out of you. Well, this should help.

2k’s face scan technology can be cool, but sometimes it can take an ordinary human being and turn them into the video game equivalent of a bear mauling victim. Never change 2k, never change.
