Considering EA Sports, then known as Electronic Arts, released "One on One: Dr. Jr vs. Larry Bird" nearly 35 years ago, and the WNBA has been in existence since 1997, the inclusion of the world's top women's basketball players was a long time coming.
EA Sports says the brand new content will include the rosters of all 12 WNBA teams along with their home courts in head-to-head mode.
