Don't buy it then. The rest of us are happy to see women basketball players represented in the biggest basketball video game on the planet. It's about time. Should have happened a few years ago honestly. "Virtue signalling" and "destroying their product" just because you don't like women in your game lol give me a break



And those of you complaining about "wasting resources" like 2k is running on a skeleton crew over there just barely pushing out games on time lol

So I'm guessing you tune into and know the ins and outs of the WNBA as well right? Even if that's the case ( which I'm pretty sure it's not ) then that would put you in the extreme minority. TV ratings bear out that nobody, yes even women, care to see other women play basketball. You can whine and call it sexist all you want but facts don't care about your feelings.

This is a bad opinion that I keep seeing on here. I do not think spending development time to add the WNBA is keeping you from having a better game. The time spent developing dodgeball & mini-hoop & cages? Maybe they should use that time to improve the things you want.

You don't understand how gaming development works. The teams at companies like EA and 2K are incredibly small these days. That's one of the reasons we only get incremental improvements year after year. To use a good chunk of that time and effort on something like the WNBA just says to me that they need new leadership over at 2K. They clearly don't understand their core fanbase nor what will actually bring new players.

Ooh, you're using the phrasing you heard on cable news! Good job, buddy!

It's called having a vocabulary, look into it.

Hey casual gamer, you don’t understand how development works, but I, also a casual gamer, have a complete understanding of the ins and outs of video game development cycles and development teams. I know EXACTLY how every company runs their development and I can tell you with the utmost certainty that adding the WNBA has made this development team ENTIRELY incapable of adding additional features and refining gameplay. This will undoubtedly be the most broken and unplayable 2K ever ENTIRELY because they added women to the game. Trust me, I’m a casual gamer.

Oh how silly of me to think that 2K having to create 12 new teams, 150+ players, coaches, arenas, graphics, commentary, voice over, etc. would take away from development time. I don't know what I was thinking.

It is silly. We don't know how long they have been working on it so for all we know this could have been done over time. They had the euroleague in the game for several years and that had more teams than the wnba did. So why is it a problem for this to be in but we got dumber stuff going on in the park (mascots, dodgeball). If its such a big deal for you, then dont buy it.

He never said anything about knowing the ins and outs, or even watching the WNBA. He only said that it's about time they had the WNBA in the game and that it's a good thing.

Re: NBA 2K20 Will Feature the WNBA

It’s a good thing. Play it if you want, if you don’t want to, then don’t. It's a basketball game, there's a whole universe of basketball players who are now being represented. Can only be a good thing.

It’ll be interesting to see if, and if so how, this is incorporated in mycareer modes. I personally wouldn’t mind being able to create a female baller and playing through a season. I wonder if they would go the NBA Live route (in competitive modes, making the male/female players equivalent) or if they’d have separate modes for the female created players.

Re: NBA 2K20 Will Feature the WNBA

Bunch of grown men scared to say what they want lmao.

This will be like the Euro league addition you guys will play it once then forget about it.

sad that the wnba still fails to realize they need to separate from the NBA if they ever want to grow. There's definitely a market for the WNBA but it's not the same market share as the NBA.

The WNBA has recently pretty much been a marketing campaign directed at women..it clearly doesnt make money yet they always bail them out. At the end of the day they do have a working relationship with the NBA(nba 2k) and maybe this a way to target the LBGT.

I honestly dont care and unlike these guys here playing the PC role ive actually watched the WNBA. these women are very very skilled players. They can do it all aside having the athleticism to play through contact/ above the rim but thats obvious.

Re: NBA 2K20 Will Feature the WNBA

I think it’s great to have the WNBA in 2k......it grows the game.....

How does a failed business venture for the NBA help nba 2k grow?

its been 2 decades and the WNBA itself has yet to grow.

Re: NBA 2K20 Will Feature the WNBA

Whether you play it or not, options are always best for us fans.

Secondly there is that chance the NBA wants this in current games instead of standalone.

You guys realize times have changed and those who don't adjust end up like ToysRUs and RadioShack right?
