Rytis Gineika is better known as R4zoR to 2K enthusiasts, especially those playing on PC. Their work has been acclaimed as some of the best in its field, and they've custom-built numerous character models of NBA legends other gamers have enjoyed over the years. Now, R4zoR is part of the 2K team officially.

It's a real dream come true.

R4zoR has been tasked with working on player faces and models in the new game. Do some diving online and take a look at what Gineika did for models of 2004 NBA Championship winner (with the Detroit Pistons) Rasheed Wallace, former Orlando Magic great Dennis Scott and several others. It's almost scary how lifelike those models are.

It's hoped R4zoR's involvement will help up the quality of player faces, make them more accurate and remove some of the waxier, lifeless faces seen on auxiliary stars. Wonder if they had anything to do with Dwyane Wade's character build this year?
