So you get a list of some pre-determined nicknames? I hope there's a good number to choose from. And I'm not required to have it put on the back of my jersey.

This ain't no He Hate Me nonsense, is there?

You don't get a list of nicknames. Your nickname is Frequency Vibrations.

I honestly don't see what the fuss is about, it's a nickname....

Ha, I think I'm too ego-driven to not want to use my own name but I like your system, nonetheless. Quite tempting to go the Markieff Mokeski route.

Does he have matching mustaches with Marcus Mokeski?

^Really tho. Not like the nickname list was all that good anyway. So I won't mind being called Freq.

That makes sense. They'd have to record proper dialogue for every nickname in that instance.

Re: NBA 2K16 Trailer - Livin' Da Dream, A Spike Lee Joint

Okay so we can have our own name but in the cut scenes they will call us Frequency Vibrations? Freq? WTF...

Even it's just a nickname that's dumb as ever man. I mean I'm really an online guy anyway but I have to play thru these cut scenes. That's kind of a total buzzkill for me.

I mean 1st of all that's a terrible name. I know they said we can change it but will the cut scenes change with it?

If not that's totally lame...

Dude, the nickname has become the new "lighting", this thread is too much. Everytime someone mentions the name, I just want to start flinging profanity Laced tirades of, "YOU CAN CHANGE THE EFFIN NAME" [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23]

And smh at ppl saying this is what it's come to about the nickname. Your name an identity is a HUGE part of MY career.

Not being able to customize that during cut scenes is a huge blow for some ppl. Actually I've seen more negative comments than good. I get it's a story but they shouldn't call it mycareer mode they should call it 'livin da dream' mode then...

Anybody saying that's a cool nickname or that's okay with that's cool. But don't act like it's not an issue in a mode where it's supposed to be your character. Not really feeling that. I'll probably just play til I'm a 90 and be online only anyway but honestly that's not a good name. No matter how they try to spin it.

How they name this man Frequency Vibrations though?

I think it's to show that you can name your person anything and they'll say your name.

Dude, it's a bloody nickname! Are you seriously going to bypass the mode due a nickname, a nickname, not the main name, but a nickname?! [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23]

If the name bothers you so much........I have a solution............Don't play it. there is enough game modes for you to not worry about the name.

Re: NBA 2K16 Trailer - Livin' Da Dream, A Spike Lee Joint

Don't really know why people are surprised with the nickname anyway. yall do realize Ray Allen's name was Jesus Shuttlesworth right

Re: NBA 2K16 Trailer - Livin' Da Dream, A Spike Lee Joint

We're getting these awesome features related to My Career like, My Court, Offseason Sim, Pro-Am etc. but yall don't wanna play because of some nickname? Ok y'all got it.


Moving past this nickname nonsense. If i'm reading correctly, My Career will have 90 minutes of cutscenes, but that's just Spike's story? Spike's story ends when you make it to the league. If so, Good Gosh! I'm loving that!

Spike's story doesn't end once you hit the league. I've also read that on here and don't know why people are making that assumption. It's been confirmed you play a select number of games in highschool/college. Then you get drafted. You really think they are going to have 90 minutes of cut scenes to fill only 6 games? Also the dialog from the trailer wouldn't even make sense if the story ended before you made it.

I'm loving everything about this MyCareer. I actually got goosebumps watching that trailer. Next Friday can't come soon enough.

I don't understand sometimes the lack of imagination people have. Like the whole being undrafted thing, that was a dealbreaker to some and people complained and complained about it. But if you thought about it, you could easily come up with some type of logical reason that you were undrafted even if you didn't like it.

Can you not do that with this nickname? Especially when we don't even know the story. Half the trailer talked about doing what you don't want to do, to make it. Maybe this is one of those sacrifices is that you have to take on the nick name someone wants who guarantees you a spot in the NBA. Even if that's not the case, why not just pretend?

If that's still not good enough then cool, ditch the mode but I just don't understand people automatically saying it's a no play due to that. There are modes in various games that don't seem appealing to me but even if they aren't I still try them out to see what I think instead of just automatically cutting it out.
