WNBA's First Video Game !! I for one will be purchasing NBA live 18 for this feature only ive waited 20 yrs for this so waiting till September or December wont be so bad. At least we will get to play with full teams and players. Cant wait for screenshots or visuals. Im sure they wont be shown until after the WNBA season has concluded as they are still creating the content for the game.

Hell Yeahhhhhh ...i really hope EA pays attention to player likeness. They did a really good job with Fifa and incorporating the women's national teams in those games 16 & 17' but soccer bodies vs Basketball bodies for men and women are very very different. Im skeptical i wish it was 2K with the addition but ill take Nba Live ! Great to see them making this stride to add women to the platform !

| I wonder how this is going to work. It would be cool if you could make a wnba player and play their career out but it's probably just going to be playing as current wnba teams.

I was thinking about that also . Id hope they would have some type of season mode / career mode . Ive seen 1 screenshot that shows a WNBA logo as a game Mode. But no idea of the depth . The game normally releases mid september as most sports games do , but Live has pushed back almost 2 years for this inclusion and are keeping tight wraps on the details due to 2K possibly trying to out due EA and add the WNBA themselves. This should be exciting , I would not be satisfied with just Exhibition play for W teams . I cant see them doing the same as Fifa with tournament play due to all 12 Teams apart of the league included . Tournament mode would most likely only include 8 as the playoffs slate . So optimism points toward career mode hopefully !

I dont think it will be long for 2K climbs on board. EA so a major spike in sales when they added women into there soccer series & im sure they are expecting the same with the W inclusion. 2K needs to dump Euroleague & add the W. Graphic wise id rather choose 2K , but i will settle for Live if the rumors of drastic improvements are true.

Hearing more gossip that the PC version portion might not be true . Along with the December release , nothing confirmed about those situations being wrong or not. The W is in the game for sure though platforms are still TBD. Well the PC platform to be specific !

| Looks much better than when I would build my own rosters on the older versions of 2k. Not super keen on live, I prefer 2k, but I will make an exception to support the W. I know what I'm getting all my nephews for Christmas. |

I know, right? Really wish it were 2k as NBA Live is pretty terrible in comparison.
But they did the one thing that would get me to buy their product, so good on them.

Gameplay footage ! Washington Mystics vs Chicago Sky ...Player ratings showing for the starters . EDD rated at 91 and Messeman & 88 seems fair ! They got edd down pat Although Tianna Hawkins kind of looks like Jennie Sims , good job Live !

Hmm would be interesting , i doubt it though . Would be nice too see the realness of the teams style of play . I saw coaching options so idk if the defaults are set for how teams play or generic for every team.

| Will it show all the players whining after getting a foul called, or Tip's near death injuries every game? Will DT get a T every game or so and elbow opposing players in the face when no one is watching? Will they show Angel watching the games from the TV in her ice cream store?
