Which NBA 2K game introduced face scanning for player creation?

NBA 2K15 introduced face scanning for player creation. The feature let players use a PlayStation Camera on PlayStation 4 or Kinect on Xbox One to map their own likeness onto a created player.

The scanning system was promoted as a way to make MyPLAYER characters feel more personal and realistic. Players generally had to stand close to the camera, turn their heads slowly, and let the game build a three-dimensional facial model. The process was advertised as taking roughly 30 seconds.

NBA 2K15 was released in October 2014 and was the sixteenth installment in the main NBA 2K series. Face scanning became one of its most recognizable new-creation features, although players frequently criticized inconsistent scans and distorted results. That reputation can cause confusion with later games, which refined or reintroduced similar face-scan tools, but NBA 2K15 is the canonical first game associated with the feature.
