The NBA 2K15 Facescan Fail became an instant internet legend upon the game's release in late 2014, when the new face-scanning technology for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One produced terrifyingly distorted results. Instead of accurate digital likenesses, players were greeted with melted features, multiple eyes, and nightmarish protrusions that looked more like eldritch horrors than professional athletes. These glitches went viral across social media and gaming forums, turning a technical flaw into a beloved meme format. Today, the template is used to highlight the gap between high expectations and disastrous outcomes, or simply to celebrate the chaotic comedy of early next-gen gaming bugs.
