While 2K expected their fanbase to revel in joy, that wasn’t the case. Instead, the tweet left a sour taste in their mouths instead. Many fans claimed that they would prefer playing the previous edition of the game rather than the newer version. Passionate fans laid the blame on the game’s terrible avatar and design for taking such a stand.
“This is getting worse” Fans chastise 2K for terrible design
One fan is glad that they bought the 2023 edition of the game instead of 2024.
My god, I’m glad i bought the 2K23 version because that’s god awful

A fan felt like the gaming developers were holding back on its potential due to the need to cater to last-gen consoles such as the PS4 and Xbox One.
It’s time to leave the ps4 and Xbox one behind cuz u can see they’re holding back on what they can do

Another fan felt there’s no excuse for botching the avatars of Becky Lynch and 2024 Royal Rumble winner, Bailey.
No excuses for botching her and Bailey.

One user wondered if they spent the budget on other female superstars.
Her 2k23 heel model looks better. This is getting worse. Did they put too much budget on rhea,bianca and asuka?

Another seconded this opinion but thought the budget was spent on Roman Reigns instead.
They need to use the GTA style of mocap, have the actual stars there doing the work and accurately capturing their image, tho I bet it's because half the budget went into making roman look exact

Such reactions were not limited to the avatar of ‘The Man’ though, as previously fans went up in arms against the in-game avatar of Stone Cold Steve Austin after the release of the trailer. So it looks like 2K has a lot of rework to do before they launch the final product in March 2024. What did you think of the avatar? Share your thoughts in the comments.
