Practices, superstar interactions, and career development deepen the league’s second shot at a single-player career NBA 2K22 is promising new features and greater depth for the series’ WNBA career suite, The W, whose inaugural effort last year was a laudable and distinct women’s basketball experience, even if much of the progression supporting it felt bland and even dated.
Visual Concepts noted that The W Online, the mode’s multiplayer component is also coming back in NBA 2K22.
In a development blog published Thursday, Visual Concepts said WNBA players in The W will have regular off-day activities that “will play a role in how you progress, gain popularity, and build your wallet.”
Players will now find a Badge progression system similar to the one in the series’ long-running MyCareer mode, as well as more off-the-court activities to deepen the lifestyle and role-playing qualities of their superstar’s career.
