You! Yes You! Become a Pixelated Baseball Legend with MLB The Show 23 Face Scan!
Ever dreamt of being a baseball superstar? Well, ditch the steroids (seriously, don't do that), because MLB The Show 23 has a cooler option: sticking your mug on a digital athlete! That's right, with the magic of face scan technology, you can transform yourself into a pixelated phenom.
But how, you ask? Well, settle in, grab some sunflower seeds (because baseball!), and get ready to become a master of facial recognition (kind of).
Step 1: Download the MLB The Show Companion App: It's Like Baseball Tinder (But Without the Creepy DMs)
First things first, you'll need the MLB The Show Companion App. Think of it as baseball Tinder, but instead of swiping right for a date, you're swiping right for...well, yourself? This free app is the bridge between your phone and your PlayStation, so download it and get ready to mingle...with your own reflection.
Step 2: Prepare for Your Close-Up (But Make it Baseball)
This isn't your grandma's Facebook profile picture update. Find some good lighting (bathroom mirror selfies need not apply!), and make sure your hair isn't strategically placed to hide any rogue pimples. Remember, you're aiming for baseball immortality, not a catfish situation.
Step 3: Conquering the Face Scan - It's Not Rocket Science (But Maybe a Little Geometry?)
Open the Companion App and head to the "Face Scan" section. There will be some terms and conditions to agree to (basically, don't blame them if your pixelated self throws a terrible pitch). Then, you'll need to download an additional "Face Skin" add-on. Don't worry, it's not snake oil – it's just what makes your virtual face look all smooth and fancy.
Now comes the moment of truth: the actual scan. The app will guide you through positioning your face within a weird oval thingy. It might feel like you're trying to solve a Rubik's Cube with your face, but stick with it! Once you've captured your mugshot, make sure your eyes are open, your mouth is closed, and you're not wearing a hat (looking at you, baseball purists!).
Step 4: Upload and Behold! You in Pinstripes (Virtually Speaking)
If you're happy with your digital doppelganger, upload that bad boy to the game! Be patient, grasshopper. It might take a few minutes for your masterpiece to appear in all its pixelated glory.
Step 5: Time to Dominate the Diamond (With Your Face)
Fire up MLB The Show 23 and head to Create-A-Player. There, you'll find your glorious face scan waiting to be slapped onto your custom baseball hero. Now you can take the field with YOU leading the charge!
Bonus Tip: Embrace the Absurdity!
Look, let's be honest, these face scans aren't always perfect. You might end up with a slightly startled expression or a rogue eyebrow raise. But that's the beauty of it! Lean into the weirdness! Create a backstory for your oddly proportioned baseball persona. Maybe he throws a mean fastball because he's constantly surprised by his own reflection on the mound? The possibilities are endless!
So there you have it! With a little effort and a dash of humor, you can become a pixelated legend in MLB The Show 23. Now go forth, conquer the competition, and strike fear (or maybe amusement?) into the hearts of your opponents...with your face!
