NBA 2K22 recently unveiled a new mode targeted for fans of the WNBA.

What is The W mode?

The W mode — which centers around your player’s journey to make it in the WNBA — will have a new badge progression system. You earn badges that will improve your player’s game on the court.

  • You can even customize these badges, which allows for new possibilities for unique players in The W.
  • This is similar to other modes with the NBA 2K franchise. Your player is assigned certain badges that give them better characteristics and skills when competing on the court.
  • Some badges make your players more defensive, others make them better at shooting.

Can you play The W online?

The W will add an online mode as well, which allows you “to link with your friends before the matchmaking process.”

  • You can play online with your friends and compete as a team. You can also compete online and earn new points and rewards along the way.
  • And you’ll even have an opportunity to be signed by historic teams within the game, including the Houston Comets and New York Liberty.
