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

[TeamHawkins]

Once I read "Frequency Vibrations" and how 2K is targeting more children after this year's arcade child's play, I realized I can save my $60 for much better games.

The potential of playing college games is very intriguing.

Euroleague (ala Brandon Jennings) is far more likely than college since 2k already have a business relationship with them.

I think the story will be pretty cool especially if you're playing college games. But 2K15 script wasn't too bad. But I just hope we can make our own decisions and that can alter the story. So everyone doesn't have the same exact thing. And long as gameplay wise it isn't scripted like where I have to get hurt after a shot or I can't make a shot because a storyline is coming after that.

I think people hope too much when it comes to collegiate games. This is more than likely the path if you have to start as a high school standout. The current lawsuit with O'Bannon v NCAA is a big reason that 2k wouldn't even want to risk putting in college teams. Of course, I would be thrilled if somebody did.

Is the odd name a permanent one? You can't play as yourself in this year's rendition of the game?

From 2K a few pages back:

I hate to disappoint, but it's just a nickname people. You can take a deep breath.

YOUR (created or scanned) face is still front and center, and your own inserted name is in play here.

I know it's hard when it's all you have, but try not to jump to conclusions too much here. I think you guys will find this one highly enjoyable...

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

According to what I am reading..

We are playing a guy named ''Frequency Vibrations''....Uh....WTF???


Seriously what does that even mean? That's really his name?

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

Forgive my ignorance, but would 2k need any sort of license to display current NBA players in their college jersey? They would need permission right?

What I am hopeful for is playing in college, but with completely made up players with no similarity to the current NCAA rosters.

Look like you playing in highschool I will prolly keep making players over and over just to play in highschool. Hope they let you make your highschool like ea college football

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

I know I'm in the minority but this actually intrigues me and makes me more likely to play the mode. I'm not much into MyPlayer type modes because it's not me. Me playing in the NBA (or NFL) doesn't really interest me much, honestly. An entertaining, engaging, over the top "story" would be more fun to me. Kinda like a basketball RPG. I have MyLeague for my NBA sim fix. I want to see more!

I'm intrigued. I don't really care about the mode so they could have the guy that did The Notebook write it and name the main character "Audible Trembling" and I wouldn't lose any sleep. I'll step into the mode for a bit to see what's crappenin. It'll either be a hilarious sideshow or Spike will make it interesting.
