NBA 2K24: Tips and Tricks to Scan Face

In this section, we will be broadly explaining about how you can scan your face, and the best tips for clear scans.

Lighting: Ensure that there are as few shadows and even lighting coming from the front on your face. The main reason for inaccurate scans is this. It can be challenging to maintain eye openness in bright light.  Stop moving your head if you need to blink so that the app doesn’t capture any images at that particular instant.

Phone Positioning: Raise the phone to your eyesight. A lot of folks aim it back up after holding it a few inches too low.

18 Inch Rule: Keep the phone around 18 inches away from your face. You’ll get instructions on how to frame your face on the screen. When it becomes green, you can proceed!

45 Degree Rule: Gradually rotate your head to a maximum of 45 degrees.

Looking Forward: Turn your head and look forward. Many attempt to maintain their focus while using a phone.

Eyes Away from Chin: Make sure you are not just pointing your chin side to side when you turn your head. This is something that a lot of people do in an unconscious attempt to keep their eyes on the phone.
