Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese will see their stars continue to rise next month when the latest NBA 2K5 video game is released.
The WNBA stars will appear in the game, which is set to launch in early September, and the creators have ramped up anticipation by revealing a first look at the duo in the gaming world.
But fans were more impressed by Reese’s resemblance than Clark’s and reactions flooded social media on Wednesday.
“Angel looks good but they have CC looking like a potato,” one fan said in the replies.
Another wrote in agreement: “Caitlin was treated very poorly.”

Another follower said: “Is that the best image you could come up with for the game? It’s not very good.”
The responses were much more positive about Reese, with most fans responding to say how impressed they were with the resemblance to the real-life Chicago Sky player.
“This is really good,” said one fan, while another wrote: “This is accurate, I’m not gonna lie.”
The WNBA resumes Thursday after a four-week hiatus to coincide with the Olympics.
Reese and Sky begin the season again in Chicago against the Phoenix Mercury, with Clark and the Indiana Fever playing the Mercury the following day.
Both Clark and Reese are locked in a battle for Rookie of the Year honors. Fever is seventh in the standings at 11-15 and Sky is one spot behind at 10-14.
The two rookies are credited with driving a surge in interest in women’s soccer.
Clark and Reese played together in the recent WNBA All-Star Game.
They were rivals in college with Clark at Iowa and Reese at LSU and in this year’s draft in New York, Clark was chosen first and Reese seventh.
However, they did play together in the recent All-Star Game before the season took a break.
Reese and Clark will be on opposite teams again on August 30 in Chicago, when the Sky host the Fever.
