When it comes to the NBA 2K series of games, Devin Booker has been among the favorites for young 2K fans. The current version of Devin Booker in 2K24 has an overall rating of 92 and a Versatile Offensive Force Build. He has 33 Badges in total, eight of which are Gold Level. Outside Scoring is the strongest feature of Booker’s game on 2K. He scores efficiently from the perimeter, thanks to his remarkable 97 Mid-Range Shot Rating.
More significantly, his 86 Three-Point Shot Rating makes him a dangerous threat from behind the arc.
The new look for Devin Booker on 2K24 was released on Twitter recently. As dope as it may look to people seeing it for the first time, it seems the same to regular 2K enjoyers. Yes, the newly released Book look for NBA 2K24 has not been entirely successful in pleasing the fans.
Looks the same

“Looks the Same”, wrote one of the users among many who think they have been robbed as the star shooter from the Suns looks the same as his previous version. But looking similar to 2K23 is not the only thing the new release was criticized for. 2K fans also complained about how it was only more sweat that they kept adding to players’ avatars in the game.
More sweat confirmed in NBA 2K24‼️

“More sweat confirmed in NBA 2K24,” wrote another fan under the same post. The 2K games have won the hearts of basketball fans for two decades now. It is a bit disheartening that they are letting fans down even before the official release of the latest version.
Devin Booker graced the cover of NBA 2K23
In 2021, Booker collaborated with 2K Foundations. He did so to develop and restore basketball courts in Moss Point, Mississippi, where he played high school basketball. Booker inspires people on the court with his silky-smooth jumper and in the community with his charitable endeavors, which is why he was the ideal pick for the NBA 2K23 cover athlete.

“I’ve been a huge NBA 2K fan since I was a kid. And it’s surreal to finally join the exclusive club of basketball greats who’ve been cover athletes,” Booker said. Booker was the first Suns player to achieve this since the franchise’s establishment in 1999. The 25-year-old is a three-time All-Star. He was also named to the NBA’s first team for the first time after the 2021–22 season.
Fans of one of the most famous basketball games were not welcoming to the young guard after seeing him on the cover. Trolls did their job well back then. Although Devin Booker is a very talented player, the decision to feature him on the cover of the basketball game sparked criticism among NBA fans.
