But alas, some players argue that some of the most important details in the map are just downright wrong.<\/p>\n<p>According to some fans in the Marvel Rivals subreddit, the surrounding area of the Lower Manhattan map would suggest that it isn&#8217;t based in Manhattan at all. In fact, they believe the map is actually based in New Jersey, judging by the direction of the Statue of Liberty in the background.<\/p>\n<p>The evidence is outlined in this Reddit post, and yeah, it&#8217;s pretty hard to argue with.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Since the One World Trade Center is positioned in the background, that means the map is not set in Manhattan at all but in New Jersey,&#8221; says Reddit user saldeti. &#8220;With the distance from the Statue of Liberty, that places the map actually in what would be the real-life Greenville Yards; not Manhattan at all. Is this an oversight or something?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The replies are full of joke answers about how this came to be, like the Statue of Liberty being built&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/marvel-rivals-lower-manhattan-map-inaccuracies\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">See full article at TheGamer <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Marvel Rivals&#8216; new map, Lower Manhattan, is pretty neat.
