Through the appearance section the player will be greeted with facial features such as hair styles, eye shape and colour, lip thickness, ear size, nose variations, and facial hair.
Should the player wish to avoid all this there are a selection of presets available. In regards to bodily structure the player is able to adjust the height, weight, and muscle tone of their player, as well as body length and shoulder width. Also available from the customization menu is the choice of birth year, player nickname, player voice, on-court position, and their desired team.
It should be noted that specific player features and attributes such as height, weight, strength, and stamina should be customized and upgraded in reference to the position that the player would like their character to play on the court. There are six categories based on these attributes. For example the athletic category places a focus on standing and driving Dunk, stamina, quickness, speed, vertical, strength, and hustle.
Facial Scan:
Using the Xbox One’s Kinect or the PS4’s PlayStation camera, players can scan their own faces in to the game for the creation of custom characters.
In order to make sure the process is done correctly certain things must be undertaken, so the character doesn’t result in a mess resembling Batman’s villainous ClayFace.
Instructions:
- First off make sure you are in a well-lit room so that the camera is able to fully recognize your face for scanning.
