The previous render, which had been used for four consecutive years, bore little resemblance to the player, much to the frustration of the community. However, Ronnie2K recently announced on X (formerly Twitter) that the art team is working on a new update for NBA 2K25: "I´m working on it Jennifer".

The latest version, while not a real face scan, shows a significant improvement. The reasons behind the absence of a real face scan remain unclear. It could be due to the player’s unavailability or other unknown factors. Despite this, the new render, created by an artist, offers a substantial upgrade in terms of sculpting and skin tone accuracy.
