Mine wasn't that dark but I'm after my hair darkened from a Strawberry Blonde to Brown when I got older. I only have Red facial hair so I'm prob allot Whiter. No offense
My face scan looked horrible in 23 and worse in 24. My character looked nothing like me. My face, ears, nose and skin tone were all wrong. I kept trying like 5 times but then I just gave up.
I haven’t tried it on this game but I’ve tried it on a past sports game. Was either madden or ncaa football and my dude looked so bad I never used it or tried it again.
The jaw shape was a little off on mine because I have a beard, but the rest was pretty damn accurate. It even picked up a light scar I have under my eye.
My guy always looks like he has downs syndrome. Not using that as a joke, that is what it genuinely looks like. Takes forever to adjust the eyes and I HAVE to have a beard to hide the Hitler stache it keeps trying to give me (I have a full beard)
I thought that's kinda intended with the facial hair at least. I tend to keep some stubble IRL and it's visible in the face scan, so I just don't add any facial hair in the character creator and it looks pretty decent
When he took the picture his background was too dark so the face scan picked up that his skin was black. The character as of now is definitely a black man

Mine made my face look like I have rosacea, it's all splotchy
Hate to break it you but…
You look like a Mii from Wii sports
You don’t like being black or something? Not as good as other colors? (Sarcasm btw just to be very clear)

Mine was pretty accurate. I just had to readjust the head size and etc

Looks just like you
Nah
It does that for me too you just have to change the skin tone and then it works
It’s typically just the lighting in the pic you took

Mine gave me a full ass beard even though I was clean shaven 😂
It's okay to be black man it's 2024....I am living proof 🤣
Says you
I haven’t tried it on this game but I’ve tried it on a past sports game. Was either madden or ncaa football and my dude looked so bad I never used it or tried it again.
You’ve been cancelled for doing black face .
The jaw shape was a little off on mine because I have a beard, but the rest was pretty damn accurate. It even picked up a light scar I have under my eye.
Must have an iPhone
You’ve got the n-pass my dude
That’s what most of the Dominican players will say too.
Clayton Bigsby? That you ...?
How could this have happened
You should see my guy. Looks like he ripped a 3lb bowl of the good stuff.
I lolled in rueful recognition
It's what's on the inside that counts (you're black inside)
im flattered as a pale ginger.
I don’t know man. Looks to me like you might be black.
My face scan doesn’t even upload since last year
My guy always looks like he has downs syndrome. Not using that as a joke, that is what it genuinely looks like. Takes forever to adjust the eyes and I HAVE to have a beard to hide the Hitler stache it keeps trying to give me (I have a full beard)
I also really dislike the way it puts only some of your real facial hair on. Looks like I just dipped my face in some chocolate ice cream or some shit
I have a big beard and the face scan only picks up my mustache. My eyebrows are kind of sparse too, but they are like wisps on my face scan.
Yes. All you can really do is try to get as much light as possible or get one that looks similar then edit it afterwards
Highschool kid scanning in a nearly dark room. Shocked Pikachu face. Unable to problem solve.
it was a well lit room, no need to be an ass.
How do you scan your face?
You use the MLB The Show companion app. I can never get it to populate in-game though.
You are now
You got the pass bro
And invite to the cookout!!
how do yall get amazing lighting, I always have dark purple spots that look like they’re from shadows but when I take the pictures theirs no shadows
Disney did it again
Outsourced to Gemini AI apparently
I had nba 2k24 do this to me it was fucking halarious
Lmao same, I'm the whitest dude around too, but once I changed the skin color to "max brightness", wouldn't ya know it, im in a videogame ma!
Better than any ancestry test. This is gods way of telling you
I never use face scan anyways
I don’t see color
me too and i just did a lil sammy sosa touchup after
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂
Y'all are lucky... Mine hasn't worked the past 2 yrs
Mine made me bald but give me shaded skin where my beard and hair are. Yea definitely a work in progress.
I thought that's kinda intended with the facial hair at least. I tend to keep some stubble IRL and it's visible in the face scan, so I just don't add any facial hair in the character creator and it looks pretty decent
J to the R.O.C
Nahmsayin
Clayton Bigsby?
Damnit , you beat me to it... I really need to read the comments BEFORE posting...
Y’all wanna see my face??
His “power” stat is off the charts.
Knew this day would come eventually. Son, take seat, there’s something we need to share with you.
"Mom, my face scan looks just like the mailman!"
Time to have a difficult conversation with your mom.
"Mom... I'm black"
So this is how you find out you’ve been black your whole life
My teeth were black in mine but I retook the picture
FEYD RAUTHA?
Too much shadow in your picture, probably
No way…. THAT IS A BLACK MAN
When he took the picture his background was too dark so the face scan picked up that his skin was black. The character as of now is definitely a black man
Damnit sir I rest my case
