Caitlin Clark has won the hearts of basketball fans with her promising performances in the WNBA. In anticipation of NBA 2K25, releasing on Sept. 6, the brand has released the first look of Clark in the game. However, fans were not thrilled with her look after NBA 2K shared the image on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Wednesday.
The electric point guard was originally selected as the number one overall pick by the Indiana Fever in this year's draft. After some struggles transitioning to the professional league after four years of playing at the collegiate level, Clark has finally settled down.
A few users pointed out the contrast between Clark's face scan and her real-life look. The fans even criticized how poorly the face scan technology was utilized for the Fever guard.
"Looks like a white Alex Sarr," a fan tweeted.
"What the hell is that face scan? She's not like that in real life," a fan tweeted.
"That's the best in-game pic you came up with? Not very good," another fan tweeted.
"Aren't there enough pics of her? Is this AI?" A fan tweeted.
"W but you couldn't have chosen a different screenshot? Maybe one not showing how bad the hair looks?" Another fan tweeted.
The upcoming NBA 2K release is building up to be one of the most exciting entries into the popular video game franchise yet. With tons of new mods, customization options and gameplay tweaks, this is surely one not to miss out on.
Caitlin Clark talked about bringing her PS5 with her to pass the time off the court
Even before she arrived in the WNBA, Clark was popular with the Iowa Hawkeyes. Since her debut in the league, Clark has been in the conversation due to electrifying performances on the basketball court.
On Apr. 29, the Fever rookie shared what she does in her spare time when she's not busy putting on a show against opposing teams.
"I don't really go out in public," Clark told ESPN in an interview. "I mean I watch movies. I brought my PS5 with me but I'm staying in a hotel right now so I haven't really hooked it up or played at all. Taking a few naps that's about it."
Clark is averaging 17.1 points (40.5% shooting, including 32.7% from three-point range), 8.2 assists and 5.8 rebounds per game this season.
