Spike Lee Writes, Directs Story for NBA 2K16 MyCAREER Mode

[JKSportsGamer1984]

That name has to go! Come on 2K really?!? Hopefully it's not too late into development to change it. WTF is that? Frequency Vibrations? SMH! This is still a basketball game not some SCI Fi show or adult film. This will be an epic FAIL if they don't change that name. I get that Spike is trying to be different as usual but this is ridiculous.

The career mode honestly sounds/looks REALLY dumb. Thankfully there is still online play with friends and myLeague.

Frequency vibrations??? I don't care if that's a nickname or not... For a high school phenom that's just a stupid name...

It's hard to believe that we would be this character since its My Career. Maybe this guy is another young NBA Player who's career went crashing down. So they use his story to help you guide yours and make better decisions. That sounds more logical than us being Frequency Vibrations lol

UGH...sounds like 2K continues to appease casual gamers and little kids.

I will admit that I'm not a huge MyCareer player. But that's because the entire mode is built around becoming a star. I'd be more interested if the mode had more freedom to let players decide what path they take. 2K claims this is what MyCareer is, but the truth is every path leads to the same place, there are just different ways to get there.

Casual users have no interest in playing a mode where they don't become the next Michael Jordan. Personally, I'd be much more interested in the mode if it was realistic and made it difficult to become a Hall of Famer.

I'll wait and see before passing final judgement, but this looks like another step in the wrong direction. At times it's painful to watch this game take steps toward becoming NBA Jam 2K.

I have so many mixed feelings about this that I'm reconsidering buying this upcoming year immediately.

It truly seems that the 2K team has listened to a few of my concerns with the past 3 years MC implementation ... taking in the most minor and ignoring the greater more important.

The corny and stupid characters (Jackson Ellis) and cut-scenes ("Cover Somebody!" after stealing the rock) is a criticism to be addressed but ignoring the railroading of my player into being a petulant drunken Allen Iverson ranting about practices and spending 40k on strippers might mean the end of my loyalty.

Mark my words, if I am forced into an Allen Iverson cosplay adventure, I will wash my hands of 2k for good.

Why are you assuming this is an Iverson autobiography? There are other off court distractions besides strippers and clubs

Can people stop the exaggeration when it comes to 2k and mycareer mode. I understand some people here do not like it but do not pretend 2k Hasn't made two franchise modes, changed the way NBA teams run their offense in game, and made a better commitment to updating real life rosters last year.

There could be improvements, but saying this is the only mode 2K cares comes across as whiny.

Iverson is the "stereotype" I think of when you check off all of Spike Lee's story elements and include bringing the drama.

1. money - check
2. fame starting at the high school level - check
3. family members - check
4. press - check
5. fans - check

I hope I'm totally off-base but I am not raising my hopes.

If you're only going off only the things on that checklist, this could be based off numerous NBA players. Including LeBron.

People are being way too hard on this off of a name and a brief description about it. If we had actual information confirming half of what people are hating and speculating on in this thread, fair enough. All this is, is someone mentioning something and a few details and a lot of posters are acting like the end is near.

Am I fan of the name Frequency Vibrations? Not really but I'm not ready to jump on 2K for making me play with that being my only name because I don't know if that's the case. It could be the nickname (which outside of announcers saying it in the game, are pretty useless), it could be a rival, it could be a mentor, anything. I more than understand some people don't dig the cut scenes, cool. At least wait until we get more information before taking out the pitchforks and making threats about not buying the game.
