NBA 2K20 will include the WNBA as both Play Now and Season Mode options.

Among the players mo-capped for 2K20 were Candace Parker, Breanna Stewart, Amaya Valdemoro Madariaga, and Maite Cazorla. The development team focused on specific AI, playbooks, and defensive schemes for each WNBA team as well as player specific details such as tattoos, shorts length, shoes, hairstyles, faces, and more.

The service will cost $4.99 per month or $29.99 a year, the same as it does for Xbox One. Existing accounts/subscriptions on Xbox One will not carry over to PlayStation 4, so users will need a separate account per console.

EA Access launched on August 11, 2014 exclusively on. Xbox One. At the time, Sony balked at the potential of offering the service, claiming it did "not bring the kind of value PlayStation customers have come to expect" in "asking our fans to pay an additional $5 a month for this EA-specific program represents good value to the PlayStation gamer." ...
