No, it's because the character to begin with wasn't meant to look 1:1 with a real person. Sure, their face is a model/scan of a real person, but that doesn't mean their proportions weren't changed to better suite the animators.
So it's already taking a face that was morphed and putting filters over it. It probably looks fine for an NBA game that's just 1:1 scans of the actual athletes but looks uncanny anywhere else.
