Will you be able to pit them against NBA teams vs. the CPU or online? Maybe offline, definitely not online though.
Will you be able to create a female MyPlayer? Prolly not cause the story revolves around the NBA, though I feel like adding female players to the Park might be something they'd consider.

But, I really dont give a shit about WNBA (or Euroleague in previous games), and Im not alone.
Most of NBA2K gamers want 2K fix the things they have to.
Not adding WNBA and wasting time on this feature, promoting a league that really few people cares, even females journalists...
In 2015 ESPN2 televised ten regular season games, and ESPN one, for an average of 202,000 viewers. Game one of the finals telecast on ABC, drew 571,000 viewers, up from 558,000 for game 1 in 2014. Game three of the finals drew 432,000 viewers, and game five drew 583,000, both on ESPN2.
Game 1 of the 2016 WNBA Finals was broadcast on ABC and had 0.5 overnight rating (597,000 viewers), which was the best since 2010. The 5 game 2016 Finals broadcast on ABC, ESPN and ESPN2 averaged a 0.3 rating and 487,000 viewers. Average viewership in 2016 was 224,000 viewers.
2017 viewership hit an all-time low with 171,000 average regular season viewers. 2018 regular season viewership increased 35% over 2017 to 231,000.

It brings new eyes to the game which in turn is more potential VC. I’m in no way saying the WNBA is a comparative product but to dismiss its ability to add potential revenue streams is naive.

Decent growth ?! The audience last year in 2018 was half less than in 2015 and 16.
BTW many games moved from NBA arenas to smaller ones these last 2 years.bluejaybrandon wrote:We all know WNBA 2k20 wouldn’t sell on its own, but a minor inclusion in NBA 2k20 makes sense.

Totally agree, but you cant say that the time spent on WNBA mode could be used for improving NBA modes.
