Chicago Sky’s electrifying guard, Chennedy Carter, is not here for NBA 2K25’s shenanigans. On August 29, Carter, who has been lighting up the court this season, took to Instagram to hilariously drag the game developers for what can only be described as the ultimate face-scan fail.
Imagine balling out all season, dazzling fans with your jaw-dropping moves, only to be rewarded with… a generic face in NBA 2K25. Yep, you heard that right. The game that prides itself on realism somehow turned Chennedy Carter into an unrecognizable video game NPC. Her reaction? Priceless. “They wrong for this,” Carter captioned her Instagram story, complete with a tear-of-joy emoji, because if you don’t laugh, you might just cry.
Let’s be real, though—Carter’s been one of the most talked-about players of the 2024 WNBA season. She’s been dropping buckets like it’s nothing and has fans buzzing about her potential for the Most Improved Player of the Year award. But it looks like all that hooping wasn’t enough to earn her a decent face scan. Perhaps the developers were too busy giving LeBron another facelift to notice they turned Carter into a digital doppelgänger of someone…else?
And while Carter’s out here averaging 17.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game with a 50% shooting clip, the game seems to think she deserves a digital downgrade. But don’t worry—Carter’s got this. She’s not just sitting back and letting the bots win. With her form looking “sexxxxy” (her words, not ours), she’s bound to make the developers think twice before the next update. A little tip for 2K: Maybe pay as much attention to your face scans as Carter does to her jump shot?
In the meantime, Carter’s staying active on social media, even as she’s listed as day-to-day, following her absence from Wednesday’s game against the Washington Mystics due to health protocols. Coach Teresa Weatherspoon remains optimistic about her return, stating, “I’m sure she’ll be fine.” Weatherspoon’s confidence is reassuring, especially with the Sky clinging to their playoff hopes by a thread. They’ll need every ounce of Carter’s brilliance if they hope to fend off the Atlanta Dream for that final postseason spot.
So, while the Sky fights for survival, let’s hope Carter’s next face scan in NBA 2K25 doesn’t make her look like she just stepped out of a parallel universe. Because this season, Carter deserves nothing less than a 99 rating—and a face that actually looks like hers.
