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.

Clark and Reese played alongside each other at the recent WNBA All-Star 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.
