After you’ve successfully taken a face scan selfie and uploaded it,there may be a delay in how long it takes to be available inMLB The Show 25. Face scans are processed in a queue after being uploaded, and during busy times it may take several minutes or longer for it to upload. You should get a notification from the app or withinMLB The Show 25itself once the upload has been processed.

If it’s taking a while for an upload to process, you can start RTTS and go back in to edit your player’s appearance from the Road to the Show hub at any point in an ongoing save.

Select the “Face Scan” option while editing the appearance for your RTTS playerto then activate your uploaded selfie. The image will automatically align itself properly on the character’s face. If your face scan doesn’t look right, try taking a new selfie using the tips within the app to improve the quality of the image.

If the scan looks right while editing their appearance but appears off during a live game, you will still be able to go back in via the RTTS hub to remove or replace the existing face scan. Just keep in mind thatsaving a face scan will overwrite previously selected face details, and deactivating a face scan may force you to manually recreate how your player looked prior to activating it.
