Felicia Steenhouse, Senior Producer bei Visual Concepts:
“Since the premiere of The W in NBA® 2K We have made it our goal to develop the most comprehensive collection of game modes and features with a focus on a professional league for women.
We focus on authenticity and a gaming experience that honors some of the best basketball players in the world: the women of WNBA.“
Of the WNBA Mode builds on the debut of The W last year and this year it is focusing on even more realism and additional ways to experience the league both on and off the court:
New progress system – The new badge progression system allows players to collect badges to improve their game and become a WNBA legend. Both in competitions on the court and during training, the players can equip and improve plaques in order to align their MyPLAYER builds based on their own strengths;
Free days – The W introduces three new playable activities on days off to simulate training and play-free days. Practice games, team training and contact workouts give players the opportunity to improve their skills over the course of the season. For the first time in the history of the series, current and former WNBA stars can be challenged in the context of contact workouts in order to acquire new skills for your own path to fame;
The W Online – With the return in NBA 2K22 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X | S, The W Online brings new ways to connect with the 2K community. The players can now join forces before the search for a player in order to play together as a team in the court. For playing games in The W Online, you receive Season XP, which you can use to level up and earn new prizes and rewards.
