2K Games provides more details on how WNBA fits into the NBA 2K20, when the league first joined this long-running series. All 12 WNBA teams will be included, and more than 140 players will participate in the NBA 2K for the first time.
 
Many of the top WNBA superstars, including Parker, A’ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces and Breanna Stewart of the Seattle Storm, were scanned into NBA 2K20 earlier this year using 2K’s best-in-class motion capture technology to create the most realistic simulation on the market.
 
Parker, along with Stewart and Wilson, participated in a motion-capture process to put their movements into the game to give the computer-animated players a more realistic feel.
 
What separates 2K from ‘Live’ isn’t just the game’s popularity, but also the additional features it possesses. For the first time, gamers will be able to become a WNBA general manager and dip into the world of “what ifs.” In ‘Live,’ users could only “quick play” as one team against another, but 2K will feature WNBA “season” and “franchise” modes, allowing users to control an entire franchise, make trades and sign free agents, a spokesperson for the game told SB Nation. (It will not include the option to participate in fantasy drafts, a popular feature with the NBA.)
 
Los Angeles team forward Candace Parker said in a statement: "Like my NBA teammates, I grew up in the NBA 2K environment."
 
"I sent myself into the NBA 2K20 earlier this summer. I was surprised that 2K can copy women's basketball to such a real level. You can see that they are taking the time to capture the essence of WNBA and create a kind of an immersive experience that all basketball fans will love."

 
 

In terms of games, WNBA teams and players will be in the current and season mode. The NBA 2K20 also includes thousands of animated, game-style and visually tailored women's competitions.
 
“In many ways, we all feel that we are building a basketball game from scratch. But even in the first year of hard work, we can build a huge content library,” the development team wrote in a blog post. "You can expect thousands of new animations from jump shots, layups, dribble, air and ground collisions, sports, free throws, celebrations, etc. We also spent a lot of time developing specific AIs for each WNBA team, Scripts and defensive programs to accurately depict their true style."
 
If you want to play NBA 2K20 in the WNBA team, you don't have to wait too long. The competition will be held on September 6.
