Since The WNBA Can't Sell, Why Not Add Them In Future NBA 2K Games?

I don't understand why we compare women to men on basketball, then use men's basketball as the standard. They are women. Do we use women's basketball as the standard for men's basketball? No.

Finally, I don't believe the WNBA's goal is to eventually play like men. I believe they are a sport for women to play basketball.

That said, I think we need a WNBA game. It would be fun to play. I also think that young women would really play it.

Alot of us like to play sports games on par with the real sports season. Madden for NFL season, 2K for NBA season, ect., ect. I don't really like baseball and besides baseball in the summer the WNBA season is underway. So instead of abandoning my NBA 2K video game after NBA season is over I might just pop 2K in and play some WNBA games and after a few games of the WNBA it might just bring me back to playing 2K. LOL.

It might be a good idea and 2K might gain some more female customers. I know somewhere out there that there's gotta be some little girl who is hoping somebody makes a WNBA game but reality is it won't sell as a stand alone game. Let's grant these girls their wishes and add them to the game. I am not a WNBA fan but after watching my hometown team capture their 2nd WNBA title this past summer it struck me that why haven't their been a WNBA game out there. Then reality hit me: Beacuse it won't sell.

Only problem I see why this will never happen is because men and women from both leagues moves and shoots differently and I don't know if the current 2K engine is capable of switching up different styles of how men and women moves on the court, jump, shoot, steal, ect.
If no one is willing to buy a ticket to a WNBA game, turn their radios on to listen to it, or even watch it on television....then no one is going to want to play it in a video game.

Waste of space...........That is why it will never happen. The same reason EA took out div2 and div3 schools out of their college football games, not enough people used them. Putting WNBA into a 2K game would be the same thing. Nobody would use them.

Interesting concept

Maybe a double disc version?
