I have no idea what the time frame for them. I would guess by Mon. Just a random guess tho.

It definitely should. Imagine being able to use this in Madden this year on Frostbite. One could dream lol.
I didn't play Live 16. But man is this app quick, easy, and efficient. Literally, the first time I did it and I was satisfied. I did it a second time just because my eyes weren't open. It looks exactly like me. With 2k first few years, it tooks HOURS just to get a decent face model. Even this one looks better than this year on 2k. I love that it shows the preview model on the app itself, so that you basically know how it looks in the game.
This definitely has me hyped for Demo next week.

Too bad they only show face this year and not full body once done. It's creepy good.

It's still uploading my previous scan. Not sure if you've never done it before though.
Maybe you have to do that in the actual game?
For those that have....
Better than live 16 or 2k17 app ?

I never used 16, but this is my face to a tee :appl:

Pretty good. The big issue i had with 16's scans -- actually, with all faces in Live 16 including NBA players -- were all of the players' eyes were lighter than they should have been. (It really gave players a dead-eyed look.) It's a good sign that your eyes show as dark, if that is their actual tone.

Yeah. All hair edits are in the game.

Also, no, you can't use the scans in NBA Live 16. And you can't change your hair, either.
But you can change your skin tone from the app, which is a welcome feature that 16 didn't have.
My body is ready!

Got my eyebrow scar too, I'm impressed.

Edit - Wrong file
Rename the XAPK to zip and extract it. You may have to move the files other than the apk manually like the app in 2016.
It isn't working on my phone, HTC m8, getting a a invalid_request error and "display is invalid"
Edit didn't work... display is invalid error message, even though old version use to work.

I think that link may have been the old app. I got it for an Android emulator and the startup and login screen are different. It has Kendrick Lamar's song DNA playing with a gameplay loop. I'm trying to rip the apk from it, but I'm having trouble.
Edit - Got it working and the app works. Here's a link.

I had to do it 3 times but it eventually worked.
Also in case anyone runs into it. My mouth wasn't lining up. I have a beard and the app couldn't figure it out until I trimmed my moustache a bit and made sure the top of my lips were visible.
It looks to me that the face scan on live 16 and 2k17 seemed more life like.
Live 18's face scan looks more "cartoony" or "video gamey"

Once you view it in the actual game (not the app), it looks much better and real.

I was getting the same thing. Try to align yourself with the camera, not the screen, and do your best not to move your phone or your head, and keep your eyes pointed towards the camera. I actually think I got it working by moving my head a little faster when turning. So, try something slightly different from what you are doing. Maybe tilt your head forward or back or align your head differently.

That's just a preset look. You can change body size and other things via the creation screen. I thought the same thing with Live 16. lol
Might have to try and reinstall it. I like the app itself since the process is a bit quicker than 2K in general but wish I could get it stabilized. The issue with my scans has been that my eyes seem all over the place so trying to focus my attention on the camera itself once it starts. Another small irk is that they don't really give you the best preview before it heads into the finding your face mode, it would be nice if we could see how we look in the oval and get set before being thrown into it.
Edit: I suppose it's their servers since after reinstalling it's telling me they're in high demand right now.

Natural sunlight is the best for way to do the scan, just like 2k and live 16. Outside of that it's pretty straightforward.

Was having issues not moving the phone, had to prop it up to get a good scan but now servers don’t work so can’t see it in game

That's just the way the game is designed. You select the skin tone in the companion app right after you scan your face and that's it. You can't change it once you select from their little drop down list so if it doesn't look right, better luck with your next scan unfortunately.

edit: never mind it's working now it just took a while
I'm having the same problem.
I thought it was because the EA account I signed in to wasn't the same as my PS account. So I changed the PS account to same email as EA, but nothing changed. But when I uninstalled the account from my phone, I got a notification on the demo saying I disconnected from the companion app
Does anyone know what I did wrong or what I need to do to fix it? Are there two color options and I just missed it?

I have no trouble completing a scan and the final render in the app always looks fine, but when I load it up in-game it's got my eyes mushed together super close making the whole face look off. It's never the same either...it ranges from crazy close (like the tiny gap of my nose bridge the only thing separating them) to just less dramatic, but still too close in general.
The two scans I got without that happening had one eye popped out of the lid part way and the other I apparently did something with my lips in one since it looked like I was blowing a kiss...lol
Any tips (android app, if that makes a difference)?
This WORKED!!! Thanks A lot man!!
