'NBA 2K16' update: Game to feature full body scan

2K Sports will feature full body scans for "NBA 2K16," the next installment in its long-running NBA franchise.  

Hardcore basketball fans and casual gamers alike are still marvelling at the enhanced graphics and improved gameplay in the current NBA game. However, just like other popular and long-running titles, fans cannot wait for the next installment to see what improvements it will bring to the table. 

The upcoming "NBA 2K16" game will reportedly feature more advanced full body scans of players, a step up from the previous face scans made available for "NBA 2K15," and some NBA players already went through the body scanning process for the game's development.

According to tweets from different teams such as the Brooklyn Nets and Miami Heat, most of the players from their line-up have already gone to Pixel Gun Studio to have their bodies scanned for rendering, part of the development for the upcoming "NBA 2K16" project.
