    Re: College Basketball in NBA 2K16? Here's What We Know...

    I mean it is an even more scripted story this time around with Spike Lee. My guess would be for you to pick a university to play for and then have generic players whose going to have characteristics that affects your MyPlayer. For example, your center might be the leader of the team who serves as your mentor and then insert a rival player who plays ahead of your position... etc

      I hate to say it, but having this in the game is the only way I will be purchasing this year. As a former college hoops 2k fanatic, it's been a lonely 8 years. I don't expect much, but if you gave me the ability to stay in college for 4 years, even if that only meant I got to play 12 NCAA games before going pro, I'd do it, and love every second of it if the presentation was nailed properly. I loved how in NCAA Football, they had you play a full HS season to build up your scholarship offers, and I think they could tie a lot of that into career mode, HS for scholarship offers, college to build stock, pros to earn money. Money needs to mean something though, cars and homes, parties and vacations, etc. It needs to be more RPG, and less linear and forced. It's asking a whole heck of a lot, but as a Celtics fan who refuses to buy a 2k game until they use most of their 125 1st round draft picks because frankly, the NBA bores me to tears, this is their way of keeping me in. Unfortunately, I'm sure I'm a minority but man, the possibility is there and I'm praying it's delivered.

        Lots of info about modes but what I'm not seeing is details about improving critical areas of GAME PLAY such as:

        1. Passing
        2. Defense
        3. Post Play
        4. Animations
        5. Better Pick N Roll
        6. Online Play

        Just a little concerned that all the additions are story line and visual tweaks or non gameplay related additions. I love the game despite all the problems but legacy issues have had me putting "14 & "15 down after a month or two.

          No likenesses... Logos and brands only... Top colleges...

          MyLeague?

          Think how cool that would be. And how efficient scouting would be if there was a college season alongside the regular NBA season. You could see guys play before you draft them! You could be assured you were drafting someone you want. And the colleges you don't watch could make you miss out on talent. I'd love that. International players will be just as much of a mystery as real life as well. They already post the stats and scouting on social media in MyLeague... I'd say, "Why not?"

          Of course, the missing spots that players in the draft class are not in, in terms of the college roster, can just be filled in with "John Davis" guys.

            I know it's highly unlikely, but consider this... every year they have all the beginning of the season tournaments in college basketball like the Maui Invitational. There already is the 2k Classic played in MSG every year. I do believe Texas won last year. What if, since 2k is already sponsoring the tournament and have MSG in the game, they used the 2k classic in the game as your college experience to bust on the scene? There would only be 2 games if it's like real life. Just a thought, and would be glad to get to play with a college team at MSG.

              I have a question for everyone who would like to take a guess. If we're starting in high school then going on to college and then go to the NBA, will we start from let's say 2012 for high school, go to college for 2 years(2013-2014) then enter the NBA in this current year ?

              Or is 2k going to ignore the timeline and just have us go through our high school and college days without timing moving, thus us just being in the year 2015 when we're done with everything?

              Or are we going to start from high school in this current year(2015) and be a year or 4 head of this year ? I doubt this option though.

                As far as MyCareer goes, I'm certain they're going a similar route to what MLB The Show did: the high school and college stuff takes place in an ambiguous year, with the 2015-16 season being your rookie year.

                      Just because it's an ambiguous year doesn't mean they're not using it.
