Perplexing Face Scan Process

Re: Perplexing Face Scan Process

You are right, Some teams look great like the Mets and some look terrible. And also whoever did Bruce Bochy he should send them a gift basket he looks 45 instead of 65 lol

Did Alvarez, Baty, and Vientos get scans?

Re: Perplexing Face Scan Process

How face scans are generally handled now (at least for sports games) is these studios have to go to where players are available and the players have to agree. They basically bring these big ol' kits and then hope players will agree to do the scans.

It is pretty straightforward now to update ish on the whole I think so I do think SDS can do regular updates (like Madden) if they want if their work pipeline is put together for all that.

But yeah, I don't have an answer for why some teams have way more than others for sure, but my guess is it's either SDS not being able to get any of them to do it on certain MLB teams (or the PR reps for the team being annoying about it overall), or SDS not giving the folks in charge enough budget to go to each place to do it.

They don’t have them come to the studio or do it at the stadium when they visit the Padres? I know the NHL guys used to have everyone come in when they played the Canucks and that’s how they got new scans (pre-Covid).

Either way it’s def on the player. Took them at least 5 years to get Trout.

Re: Perplexing Face Scan Process

From what I have gathered, players also need to make themselves available for a scan. If they don't, then SDS has their hands tied with that. I've been waiting for AJ Hinch to be scanned since he became the Tigers manager, and the only thing that makes sense is that he just doesn't make himself available for it.

I follow Enrique Bradfield on instagram and one comment said "Get this man a real face scan on MLB The Show". Enrique replied to the comment and said that he did a scan for last year's game and they didn't use it. Makes me wonder if SDS is holding back scans as well.

Re: Perplexing Face Scan Process

I could've sworn I heard at one point the scans they do in spring training are for the next year's game.

I could be imagining that and could be way wrong, but with the game releasing during spring training I thought I had heard the turnaround was too quick so, for example players they scanned last year (like Bradfield), would have their scan this year.

Again, no idea how accurate or real that is, just something I thought I had seen.

Yea it seems like they could get all the draftees face scanned at the combine they now have or the draft. Every other sport video game gets their players face scanned in time for their first year in the pros.

Re: Perplexing Face Scan Process

This may have something to do with pending face scans, but, after going through the rosters, there seems to be a generic face that a lot of players have. Spencer Schwellenbach is a good example of what it looks like. Anyone have any word on if this will be fixed? I’m sure someone will do CAPS for some of them.

Re: Perplexing Face Scan Process

The crew from ridin rosters is doing one this year.
