Candace Parker is the first female athlete featured on the cover of NBA2K
- Thread starter PS9
- Start date
They have, or at least I remember that happening a while ago.
EDIT: Alex Morgan on the 2016 one, don't know if there were others earlier.
What's with the GameStop edition? Is it literally just the standard edition with an exclusive cover or is that like a deluxe edition exclusive to GameStop?
Oh shit that's dope! I don't know anything about the nba, is it co-ed? I think some ufc game had a woman athlete too once (?) on the cover so it's nice to see what I'm assuming a more popular franchise taking this step.
I see her do post game shows on TNT. Isn't she retired? Shouldn't it be a current player?
D'oh well, this is still good.
D'oh well, this is still good.
The NBA is not co-ed. She's part of the WNBA, which is a separate organization and league
She's an analyst, yeah, but she's still playing for the Chicago Sky.
This is great! She's so awesome.
Reading the store page, yes.
NBA 2K22 WNBA 25th Anniversary GameStop Exclusive - Xbox Series X | Xbox Series X | GameStop
It's just an alt cover, that people will have to specifically ask for, and when people pre-order, they're just going to get the regular version unless they ask.
Oh right, I'm still under the assumption that EA is the only sports company in town, hah.
…Oh boy a lot of folks no nothing bout the nvm or basketball games here lol. Though this is much deserving, cadence is great analyst, person, and player. I'm happy for her, honestly.
I don't this cover will get much play though, sadly. People will just get their favorite player on the cover. Hopefully the WNBA gets more popularity in general though.

Yup and on the console will only be displaying the regular cover art for the game.
The next-gen version of NBA 2K21 did some good stuff with the WNBA -- finally got the models looking good and gave them their own franchise mode. Hopefully, they build on it this year!
Can you play WNBA teams in the game? If so, had no idea they added that, pretty sweet.

The thread title actually does not say it all considering this is an opt-in, special-edition, physical-only, retailer-exclusive cover :(
I thought she played in LA. I say that not having watched a WNBA game in about 2 years.
Still, congrats to her.
Still, congrats to her.
you only show one person on the cover of this yearly game. that's a pretty nice accomplishment.
wait what? noooo. better than nothing but still killed the excitement i just had
Every yr there like 3 main covers and usually international covers for certain places. Like I believe demar derozan was on the cover In Canada once ,Dennis Schroeder for Germany, pau and Marc for Spain, etc.
Wait has NBA2k had the WNBA in it the entire time??? Can I play franchise or player careers in the WNBA????
