Just wondering if anyone has an inside scoop on what technology they use to make player faces? Head scans? Just photo mapping? Seemed like 2k7 had some good ones in there and it was heading towards more realism.

The ones I have seen so far in 2k9 demo are interesting. I wouldnt say they are bad, just creative. Like Iwamura....which I actually like, because we already have the photo of the guy we dont really need his face to look like him too. If it helps save disk space and improve framrate to have some faces just look like that, I am all for it. Better gameplay before graphics anyday! We dont need both.

I personally think player faces being realistic is overrated, but still curious if they use some sort of reference for some of the guys.
