While my gaming skills are quite average, gaming has been a part of my life since my childhood. Outside of gaming, I am a big fan of sports and have participated in multiple sports like football and MMA. As a result, sports games such as FIFA 23, UFC 4, AND NBA 2K23 have intrigued me most.

How to get the best face scan

The face scanning feature of NBA 2K23 is quite impressive, but you have to do your part if you want the scan to be as realistic as possible. Here are a few tips on how to get the best scan:

Lighting: Lighting is the main reason people have bad scans in NBA 2K23. Make sure that your face is under even lighting from the front of the camera without any shadows. Shadows hinder the scanning process and will make the scan worse.

Scan your face at eye level: Holding your phone too low or too high will affect the final result of the scan and may result in the shape of your face being inaccurate. In addition to holding your phone at eye level, try holding the phone at around 18 inches from your face.

Turn your head slowly and do not focus on the camera: You will have to turn your head 45 degrees sideways to provide a scan of your side profile. Make sure you do not focus on the camera while turning and just let the camera focus on the side of your face.

The steps are clear, so what are you waiting for? It’s time to scan your face and make yourself into one of the most popular players in the NBA.
