I wonder who the "main" cover star is, or is it going to be just a luck of the draw as to who we get as our cover guy.


It'd be cool if we got to pick when we pre-ordered.

The covers are singular, there is no triple cover on sale. However, we will have news on how you can interchange covers in coming days.

There is no main star. As with the Jordan,Johnson and bird covers you may pick depending on availability

So just me with wishful thinking and speculating here, but I find it very curious that all three of these guys have their college jerseys featured prominently on the covers of this game. You would think with licensing issues and such, no trademarks like THAT would be on the cover of an NBA game. Could it be possible the AI thing Mike Wang was talking about is incorporating college rules for a NCAA tournament mode in MyCareer or something like that? Just food for thought.

You've got a good point. I admit, my soft spot for classic teams had me noticing Harden in an Oklahoma City jersey more than anything else at first (I was thinking maybe a classic Thunder team would be in).

But you're right about the college stuff. One would think there'd have to be some licensing of some sort to secure those pictures and use them on this product but I don't know. I have a hard time believing there'd be too much college depth of anything, but I'm intrigued nonetheless.

I feel like if they use random athletes that arent remotely close to their actual counterpart (outside of the rookies) then maybe it could work. And maybe it is only a game or 2 in the NCAA like the Final 4 and Championship game if you win the first game.

Hell, randomize the teams in the tourney so nobody can say it was based off of their likeness.

Just received a press release stating 2K Sports will share the first NBA 2K16 commercial tonight before Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

I like the covers, but im intrigued by a few things. 1st is the different city skylines for each cover. Davis has the chicago skyline and harden has la. So maybe hometowns play a big role. 2nd like others stated is the college jerseys, i highly doubt they have the full ncaa license so that leads me to the 3rd point. spike lee directed he got game, if you remember the movie all the colleges were fictionally named. so maybe we will play in college at "Big State" in mycareer mode haha. I would have loved a John Wall cover though.

Good news, but I'm not anticipating anything of note to come from that commercial. Typically we don't even get actual game footage in those, just the previous game's engine running in a commercial promoting the upcoming release. Here's hoping to something different though since we've gotten a lot of early tidbits this year that we've not been privy to this early in the cycle in years past.

I feel you but in order for them to even have those pictures up of them in college, I'm pretty sure you cant half license it...the guys at 2K know what they were doing with this so im sure it has to be a full license with just use of logos and uniforms if at all. Or it could be a select amount of teams that they licensed.

On the pictures it's OK now...doesn't matter because they are in the NBA. The rule is you can't profit off of your own likeness WHILE ATTENDING college. But afterwards, I think it's fine.
