The new NBA 2k23 is finally here and so are its popular MyPlayer and MyCareer modes for basketball enthusiasts to sink their time in.
While playing as your favorite character pulls fans every year, the ability to scan your face into the game is something everyone has to do once. It is one of those steps you will eventually take to feel what it is like to be a professional basketball player.
The following guide will tell you how to scan your face alongside a few related tidbits in NBA 2K23.
How to scan your face for the best results in NBA 2K23?
First, download the MyNBA2K23 app on your iOS or Android device and sign in with your PSN, Xbox, Nintendo, or Steam account. If you face problems while logging in, contact the 2K support panel.
Once you have signed into the app, find the Face Scan option on the home screen and accept the terms and conditions to start scanning yourself into NBA 2K23.
The app will give you important information about how to scan your face for the best accuracy. The whole scanning process takes around 30 seconds to complete, but several factors must be considered to improve the final results and ensure their accuracy.
For example, you are advised to remove any caps or glasses so that your face is clear to scan. Make sure there is a sufficient amount of light. Scanning your face during the daytime for natural light exposure is preferable. Also, ensure that the shadow is minimal and your face gets enough light exposure from the front.
Keep your head straight and look right at the camera of your device. Then, center your face in the oval. At a 30-degree angle, rotate your face slowly. Keep the device steady, and move your head only.
You are required to capture 13 different types of face angles and mark all of these angles as green. When you are done, the scanner will make a sound and present you with an image. If you find any trouble, are not satisfied with the scan results, or if they look bad, you can return to do another scan.
Once satisfied, you can upload your picture into NBA 2K23. Your face scan will appear in the game as an avatar just like when you are creating a character in MyPlayer. You can edit your hair, body type, and other facial or body features from here.
You can also decry out yourself in new outfits and accessories from the in-game store.
How to change your Scanned Face in NBA 2K23?
If you find your in-game face a bit odd or unsatisfactory during gameplay, you can head back to edit your appearance.
Go to the main menu and then head into MyCareer. Find the existing MyPlayer face and then navigate to the Appearance option below the MyPlayer tab. You can Scan Your Face again from here.
