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

    It is always funny to see who doesn't know how video games work for people paying money for them. Grown adults make it to their 20s, their 30s, their 40s, on up, really believing that this would take away space or resources for what they want in the game when 10/10 times, it ain't ever the same people doing both and it takin up nearly as much space as some wrongly thing.

    "BUT WHAT ABOUT REGGIE AND CHUCK THO!?!"
    "THEY BETTER NOT REPLACE CLASSIC TEAMS WITH THIS!"

    And even funnier(sad) to see the misogyny and other bs just because something ain't aimed at you specifically

    Seeing oneself represented in a medium is one of the most important things for a person, no matter their age. I hope people find enjoyment out of the WNBA being represented in the game and I hope 2K does a good job implementing them

      There’s a market for the WNBA but it’s not the same market share as the nba. The product is separate treat it that way and hopefully it will grow organically. **** is a project at this point they’re trying to make on par with the nba
      I watch the WNBA and I'm somebody!

        Exactly.. ppl out here really tweaking about including women in the game. It says alot about ppl on how they view this thing. Include the women, so they feel represented and can hoop with Diana Taurasi in 2k.

        Its about INCLUSION.

                Can some of you knee-jerk reactionists please elaborate how it's "misogynist" to acknowledge the realities of business, how human nature works, and inherent characteristics between men and women? Or lemme guess you think there's 100 genders lol. Would love to see your in depth amazing logical argument....'Cause at this point all you're doing is spouting some buzzword you've been fed to auto-say. Think for yourself...

                  Omg you guys seriously need to learn the difference between words, and understanding concepts. Acknowledging a "Truth that happens to be negative" /= "Degrading" or "Ignorant." I know you've probably lived your entire lives brainwashed by the internet but Stop being PC robots! Reminds me of those people you see going "I block out negative energy yay!!" What you see with those people a lot is they live an existence in denial, because truth can be negative. It's "OK" to acknowledge the truth of something even it's so-called "negative".

                    Did I say your name specifically in my comment? Let me show you the definition of degrading from google: "causing a loss of self-respect; humiliating." So please, better explain to all of us how people saying, now we can shoot airball threes and miss layups, nobody cares about women's basketball, and the only way WNBA will become popular is if the women wear skimpy outfits, isn't humiliating and insulting towards women's basketball.

                      You've gotten very close to crossing the TOS on several occasions and the post he quoted was actually across the line regarding politics which cannot be discussed here so I would recommend leaving that alone going forward.

                        The reality of business is that 2K has (apparently, if this rumor turns out to be true) decided that there's value in adding the WNBA brand to their game.

                        That's all that matters. The rest of the **** you said doesn't.

                          Not to mention that NBA fans will buy the game anyway, whereas those who are interested in the women's game but not in the NBA may be persuaded to buy the game out of intrigue. Plus, there are some NBA fans who are interested enough in the WNBA to at least give it a try. Ultimately, this is only bringing more people through the door (even if it's only a small amount), while not dissuading those who are NBA fans and regular 2k buyers from buying the game. It makes pretty good business sense to me...
                          MLB: Minnesota Twins
                          NFL: Philadelphia Eagles

                            I think it's you who needs to learn the difference between the words "truth" and "opinion." Asserting that the only way the WNBA would take off is to "turn it into Hooters" is an opinion, not a fact. No matter how much you personally believe it's true, that doesn't necessarily make it true. It is true that Hooters has a pretty obvious business model that's been successful for them; However, it's not like they're the most successful restaurant/fast-food chain in America (A quick search put them at #55 in 2018 with sales numbers trending down: https://www.restaurantbusinessonline...e=1#data-table). There are plenty of other larger, more successful chains in the country that DON'T adhere to Hooters' business philosophies. It's interesting that you would bring them up specifically as some kind of end-all business model for success that the WNBA should follow. Texas Road House is doing 3x and Buffalo Wild Wings is doing 4.5x their business (with sales numbers trending up) despite offering a similar service.



                            I think you also need to understand the concept that the WNBA doesn't have to be as popular as the NBA to be successful. The US National Women's Soccer team has been getting higher TV ratings then the Men's team recently, but even before that was happening, they certainly weren't a failure. The women's division of UFC isn't as big as the men's division, but they've been steadily gaining an audience. Women's tennis is probably the closest major sport in America to equaling their male counterparts in public awareness/TV ratings (I don't watch tennis but I can name more current tennis players on the Women's circuit then the Men's). The LPGA has been around for years and has a dedicated, niche following. Not being as commercially successful as the men doesn't equate to being unsuccessful. There are scenarios where the WNBA is never as popular as the NBA but is still healthy and successful.



                            Now the WNBA has definitely struggled throughout its history and needs to grow their following. Potentially being incorporated into 2K is a good idea for them. It wouldn't surprise me if the NBA gave 2K some incentives to include the WNBA as it would be in their interest to do so. You have a product that will be bought/played by millions of basketball fans around the world. Having any kind of WNBA presence to help grow awareness of the league and its stars could be a big boone for the league. How much can it actually move the needle for the WNBA? Who knows. But for 2K, even if they aren't getting incentives from the NBA, they're still adding something that their competitor already offers and opening up representation for 50% of the human population. There's no downside for 2K.



                            Lastly, I just wanted to say that all of this is assuming they have some kind of WNBA mode and/or female MyPlayer options. We're making a lot of speculation off of a single tweet. It'll be interesting to see the official announcement from 2K later on.

                                You guys don’t understand business and how the WNBA has been a failed business venture for a while now.

                                Adding has zero to do with business they won’t find new fans otherwise that theory would have worked for the WNBA long ago. Women don’t support it and why be would they it’s a mediocre product.

                                Like I said if they ever want succeeds in the WNBA separate from the nba and let it grow organically..play in smaller venues.

                                Dudes throwing out the term misogyny are hilarious and clearly don’t care for women’s basketballs they’re here being social justice warriors.

                                I wonder how they’ll add females to pro am and How that would work out gameplay wise.
