NBA Live 18 was most praised by critics for “The One,” in which the player takes a created character through a semi-narrative career involving professional and pro-am games. Developers at the time hinted at the possibility of creating female players in “The One” down the line. Last year, NBA Live 18 included all 12 teams of the WNBA. But the label’s FIFA and UFC series have kept their matches single-sex after introducing women participants in 20, respectively. Real-world women’s professionals were added to that game’s roster the next year. EA Sports’ NHL series allowed players to create women in the “Be a Pro” career mode back in 2011, where they could play alongside and against men. NBA Live 19 will also offer abilities and perks modeled on stars from the women’s game, such as Candace Parker, the five-time all-star for the WNBA’s Los Angeles Sparks.Ī news release from Electronic Arts said women players will have the same experience as men in “The One,” including building up a team, completing challenges, and earning skills, progression and gear.įurthermore, men and women players will compete and participate on the same teams in “The One,” a rare inclusion of mixed-gender sports competition in video games.
