NBA 2K15 Facescan FAIL refers to poorly-scanned 3D models of players faces using images captured with the PlayStation Eye or Xbox Kinect in the basketball video game NBA 2K15.

Origin

On September 17th, 2014, the NBA 2K YouTube channel uploaded a promotional video for the upcoming NBA 2K game, which showcased the game's new face scanning technology which creates a 3D model of the player's face (shown below).

In the early morning on October 7th, Twitter user @Shannah221[1] tweeted a photo of a poorly-modeled NBA 2K15 character (shown below).
