Why are they shoving WNBA down so hard on everyone?**

I'm seeing five new badges in playmaking alone. Very interesting!

Don't like it, don't play it. There are plenty of other modes you can play. They have other gamers they need to cater to besides us.

Would be nice if they allowed separate game file installs so we don't have to install the modes we don't play, like some other games do. But I imagine with everything in NBA being so connected, that wouldn't be possible.

You are what is wrong with the world.

NBA 2k posted a blog, THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO READ, regarding The W features and you feel this is "shoved down your throat" or is it that you just dont want anyone talking about the WNBA. It seems like the latter.

Saying "you are wrong with the world" might not be the best response to having an open dialogue. I'd say it's a fair question in regards to 2k putting such an emphasis on the WNBA inside of a video game marketed as being an NBA game. In line with the question, I would genuinely be curious to see how many users play the WNBA mode.
With a limited amount of resources (both time and money) available towards the improvement of a game released annually, I think the question merits an answer.

Seems like they're brining a good chunk of pre-Neighborhood MyCareer ideas into the W.

Figure most of it won't work it's way into this year's MyCareer, but I'm crossing my fingers. I kind of miss those optional workouts and the team facility and the impromptu games/workout sessions at your MyCourt with contacts you got in the game.

At the very least, seems like we're getting the ability to save badge loadouts?

Also looks like Hyperdrive, Quick Chain, Triple Threat Juke (as someone who used triple threat/jabs a lot more this year, I'm intrigued), and Glue Hands are new playmaking badges.
