NBA 2K15 face scan is just one of the most exciting features of this recently released version. However, scanning your face might turn into a disaster if some points were not taken into consideration. Here are a couple of failed samples we saw online:

Now, in high hopes that this glitch can be prevented or fixed, here are a couple of tips tweeted byRonnie (from NBA 2K) that you might want to try :
1. Make sure to be in a well-lit area and minimize shadows. Natural lighting from the front and sides is best but keep it as equal/neutral as possible. Accurate skin tone is dependent on lighting and may need to be edited after the scan.
2. Please remove any headwear accessories (glasses, caps, headbands, masks, etc.). If your bangs are too long, they could mess up the texture, so use a hairband to hold the hair off your forehead.
3. You want to turn your head slowly 30 degrees to the left and right as the camera is taking hundreds of pictures of you. Keep your chin on a level field. Don't move the camera during this process.
4. The scan area picks up the bottom of your chip to the top of your head. Keep your head in the green box. We don't scan head shape, ears, or eye color so users will need to edit those after the scan.
5. Keep your eyes open and eye level with camera (try to avoid angling camera too far up or too far down, should remain neutral). Look at the central of the camera, keep your mouth closed, don't smile or make other facial expressions. Consider shaving, you can always add facial hair after the scan.
6. If you continue to have trouble scanning, try holding a white piece of paper below your neck but in the field of view of the camera. The close to the camera you can get, the better quality scan you'll get. If you lose tracking a lot while turning your head, try backing up an inch or two.
7. Once scanned, you can access our robust customization menu to ensure that your MyPlayer image accurately reflects your facial features and tone.
8. For you perfections out there, you may want to try several times until you are satisfied with the quality of your scan. Feel free to scan at any point in your MyCareer. Grow a beard and want it in there? You won't lose your progress!
There you have it and good luck on your next face scan. Watch out for more NBA 2K15 news!
