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 are going to feature in the game, released in early September, and the creators ramped up the 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 as the reactions swept across social media on Wednesday.

‘Angel looks good but they got CC looking like a potato,’ one fan said in the responses.

Another wrote in agreement: ‘They did Caitlin so dirty.’

A different follower said: ‘That’s the best in game pic you came up with? Not very good.’

The responses were far more positive about Reese – with most fans replying to say how impressed they were with the resemblance to the Chicago Sky player in real life.

‘This is actually really good,’ said one fan, as another wrote: ‘This is spot on, not going to lie.’

The WNBA resumes on Thursday after a four-week hiatus to coincide with the Olympics.

Reese and the Sky kick the season off again in Chicago against Phoenix Mercury, with Clark and Indiana Fever playing Mercury the next day.

Both Clark and Reese are locked in a battle to be named Rookie of the Year. Fever are seventh in the standings on 11-15 and Sky are a place behind on 10-14.

The two rookies have been credited with driving a surge of interest in the women’s game.

They were rivals at college with Clark at Iowa and Reese at LSU and in this year’s Draft in New York, Clark was picked first and Reese seventh.

They played together, however, in the recent All-Star game before the season took a break.

Reese and Clark will return to being on opposing teams in August 30 in Chicago, when Sky host the Fever.

Two of the hottest WNBA stars just got their first look in NBA 2K25, and the buzz is off the charts.

When it was announced that Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark would make their NBA2K25 debut this September, fans couldn’t wait to see how the gaming wizards at 2K would bring these two WNBA sensations to life. Now that the first images are out, the reactions have been nothing less than a slam dunk.

These images are so realistic that it’s like Reese and Clark never left the court, especially after the month-long Olympic break, the WNBA and its stars will return this week.

Fan reactions rolled in fast, as expected, and thankfully, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive! Fans are loving every detail, from Reese’s signature swagger and bold eyelashes to Clark’s fierce on-court intensity and her casual style off the court.

One fan wrote “Nice to see these young ladies getting featured in NBA2K!” While another said “Better scans than the NBA players”

From social media to the court, the WNBA continues to dominate, and the inclusion of stars like Reese and Clark in NBA 2K25 is just the latest proof that women’s basketball is making waves in every corner of the sports world.

So get your popcorn and your controllers ready for the 2K25 drop in early September.

Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese will be featured in the next NBA 2K edition, out Sept. 6, and manufacturer Take-Two Interactive is priming the pump by releasing images of two of the WNBA’s newest stars.

Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese were depicted in a pair of posts on X today, with both posts getting hundreds of thousands of views on the platform.

NBA 2K is the best-selling basketball video game for Take-Two Interactive Software Inc., which reported a record $3.37 billion in revenue last year.

NBA 2K allows players to configure a female player, and in 2021, WNBA star Candace Parker was featured on its cover, the first women to be so spotlighted.

Today’s images of Clark and Reese showcase the prime candidates for WNBA Rookie of the Year.

“A game-changer in every way,” read the post which included the image of Clark.

“Chi Barbie got the Windy City buzzing,” the post about Reese said.

Clark’s WNBA career has been a box office bonanza for the league since she was taken No. 1 overall by the Fever earlier this year. Clark has averaged 17.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game while also shooting above 40 percent.

Reese is averaging 13.5 points per game and 11.9 rebounds per game while shooting 40.2 percent from the field, and also set a WNBA record with 15 consecutive double-doubles before the Olympic break.

The WNBA All-Stars are showing out Thursday on the Orange Carpet in Phoenix. Even amid the excitement, Fever phenom Caitlin Clark found the time to pay her fellow rookie and rival Angel Reese a huge compliment.

The pair are neck-and-neck in the race for Rookie of the Year, and both are coming off massive achievements in the first half of the WNBA season. Clark set the league’s single game assist record with 19 against the Wings on Wednesday, while Reese recently broke Candace Parker’s record for longest double-double streak in WNBA history at 15 games.

Clark and Reese will play on the same team for the first time Saturday as All-Stars, a pairing sure to excite every women’s basketball fan. Here’s what Clark had to say about her Sky counterpart on the Orange Carpet.

What did Caitlin Clark say about Angel Reese on the Orange Carpet?

Clark was asked for her thoughts on playing with Reese in the 2024 WNBA All-Star Game on the Orange Carpet. The 22-year-old Fever guard was very open in her response.

“It’s obviously rare to have two rookies in the All-Star Game. The fans are super excited about it and I think it’s really good for the W,” Clark said. “Obviously she’s having an incredible year. She’s probably going to lead the game in rebounds, I expect that out of her. That’s just what she does. It should be fun.”

Clark leads the WNBA in assists at the All-Star break with 8.2 per game, while Reese sits second in rebounds with 11.9 per game, second only to Aces star and MVP front-runner A’ja Wilson (12.0).

The duo share had a friendly rivalry going back to their days facing off in the NCAA, notably in the 2023 national championship and the 2024 Elite Eight. Reese won the title with LSU in 2023, but Clark and Iowa won the rematch in 2024 before falling to South Carolina in the tournament final.

All that being said, the emphasis in the rivalry is on friendly, and Clark and Reese will likely make a great duo on the court Saturday. Clark and Reese will play for Team WNBA, which will face off against Team USA as in a pre-Olympic tune-up.

The Orange Carpet is as much for the All-Stars to show off their style as it is for them to do press and pose for photos.

Clark showed out, wearing an Armani dress, Versace shoes and a Versace bag, along with Tiffany and Cartier jewelry. Like the rookie’s demeanor, her outfit is nothing too flashy, but it is classy nonetheless.
