Millions of Filipinos enjoy playing basketball in many different ways
whether they are aspiring basketball players, spectators or even gamers. Yes,
in modern times, Filipino gamers are keen in playing as their favorite
basketball player in the likes of NBA 2K, NBA Playgrounds and NCAA March
Madness. Now, it looks like basketball video games is on the horizon on
entering a new chapter as one of gaming world's long-running franchises is
adding one unique feature to its upcoming installment and that would be none
other than women's basketball.

Anyway, NBA Live 18 will feature a WNBA play mode where players can pit
two WNBA teams against each other with an authentic roster, jerseys and even
their own homecourts to boot. The developers are making everything in the freshly
rare feature unique from motion capture sessions done by new and veteran WNBA
players to player ratings and skill moves that are fine-tuned well.
Upon learning about the news, I was surprised to find out that there
are WNBA players who were once younger gamers knowing that the addition of the
said feature will take them to a different playing field. Meanwhile, it is a positive
development for up and coming players knowing that they will soon be featured
in a video game soon. And this will be assured as EA is yet to add a
create-a-player option for women's basketball in future installments of the NBA
Live series.
