Come on.
      In fairness, they did have the NBDL (Gleague) before. And that was when it really was just a nice addition to Association mode. The Gleagues relevance has grown the last few years with the league embracing it as a full minor league and I agree that we should have it back. I dont think it's an either or thing.

      If the WNBA is in the new game then I dont think that comes at the expense of the Gleague. The MyLeague devs have been intimating for years that it was unlikely that the Gleague would return because of how much dev time it would require. Dont get me wrong, I'd take it over the WNBA in a heartbeat. But, given the exposure and potential avenue for female MC stuff I see why they'd jump on it.

          The big long term picture with the WNBA, it eventually will probably lead to WNBA esports association, kind of like the NBA have with the NBA 2K esports. Which would lead to more females in esports.

            I'm a 31 yearold male who plays 12m quarters offline franchise only. If this is done right (WNBA MyLeague) I will definitely be playing full games during the offseason of the NBA.

            I respect the humor though, made me chuckle.

              You must be in the minority...unless you're a non-American gamer or following a particular person from college, must players couldn't name two people from the Euroleague. There's way more profit potential with the WNBA than the Euroleague. You can thank NBA Live for opening up NBA 2K's eyes to this. Personally, I'm all for it. Being a minority myself, it's nice when videogames show more and more diversity when it comes to gaming characters. Granted, these are actual real-life athletes, but my point still stands.

                Not gonna lie, I would definitely play a WNBA MyLeague mode. I would prefer the NBA side to have the full G-League in as well, but regardless I think it would be a fun side thing to do.

                  Do we know for sure that Euroleague teams were removed just to make room for classic/all-time teams or is this just an assumption from fans? If someone that works on the game made a statement confirming this that's one thing (not sure if this has happened or not), but if we haven't had confirmation of this can we not make statements as if it is 100% fact

                  And whoever said that 2K is making the WNBA a priority? Just because 2K is adding the WNBA and female players doesn't mean they're just going to stop working on every other area of the game. It's not like 2K is an independent studio with small development team. They should be fully capable of intergrating the WNBA while also improving every other facet of the game. 2k shows love to every mode and area of the game year after year, I wouldn't expect them to stop now.

                  And for those that don't see the benefit of adding the WNBA you clearly don't see the bigger picture. The NBA and 2K fans are going to buy the game regardless. It's one of the most popular and successful sports games every year. The addition of the WNBA should only increase the appeal and lead to more opportunities, such as a WNBA ESports league. This isn't necessarily for the basketball and 2k fans that are already buying the game, this is for an audience which 2k has yet to represent in their products.

                    I mod the PC version every year to play something different in Myleague. WNBA would be a welcome addition for me.

                      Wtf is the point in adding this?? Why cant 2K just focus on the more important issues like game balance?? I would just be happy if they just bring other modes back like All-star team-up. Honestly who wants to do layups and shoot airball 3s all game?? The game is boring enough playing it that way.

                        Would be a great addition, a good way to gain a little exposure and synergy. I just hope they put more effort into it than EA, who scanned about 10 faces, and did the courts and unis and called it a day (not even player name commentary!). It may not change the way a bulk of the players play, but the thought and hopefully execution would be a nice inclusion for a league that may not be everyone's cup of tea, but is here, has been here for two decades plus, and has a decent enough fanbase to not pretend it doesn't exist.

                          This comment was so sexist...don't play the mode. It's that simple. Who said that NBA 2K WASN'T going to address "game balance" for NBA 2K20? Some people don't think things through when they hear game announcements.

                          Oh! They're adding [insert new mode/feature] for 2K20. I guess they already stopped working on NBA 2K20, and now they're focusing their attention on 2K21.

                              Must be a noob. Most people know that NBA 2K begin their hype train in June/July respectively.

                                Re: WNBA confirmed for NBA 2K20.. looks like it.

                                I bought NBA Live 20 because it was on sale and that game already has the WNBA in it and honestly, it's fun playing with the women as a change of pace! Years ago, one of the March Madness games I had on PS1 have some of the Women's NCAA teams and that was fun as well, even got one of the ladies to dunk!

                                I have to agree with some others in the thread, there's a BUNCH of modes NBA 2K and other sports games have that many of us never touch and hardly anyone complained about it. If it is going to bother you that they are included in the game although you're never going to play a them, maybe you're just sexist. Pay the mode no mind. But now I'm glad that my nieces and MANY other women and girls can have something to relate to in the game.
