Like its predecessors, 2K16 mt has quickly become a big hit amongst gamers and basketball fans. The realistic graphics and gameplay are enough to make anyone want to grab a controller and take control of an all-star. If you haven’t tried the game out for yourself yet, you’ll get your chance this weekend.
Demonstrating the NBA 2K series’ commitment to authenticity and innovation, 2K and Visual Concepts \ joined forces with legendary filmmaker and master storyteller Spike Lee to direct, write and co-produce the NBA 2K16’s MyCAREER experience enabling fans to be the story of an NBA player with drama never before experienced in a sports game. Lee’s resume, not only as the most famous fan of the New York Knicks, but as director for the classic feature film He Got Game and Nike’s Mars Blackmon commercial series, demonstrates his passion for basketball culture and storytelling ability which culminate as an interactive experience in NBA 2K16’s MyCAREER.
Three of the NBA’s top superstars will be making their cover debuts on NBA 2K16: Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry, Houston Rockets’ James Harden, and New Orleans Pelicans’ Anthony Davis. All three athletes will grace their own individual NBA 2K16 cover, celebrating their remarkable on-court achievements this season and throughout their careers. Each game box will include a foldable insert with all 3 individual cover athletes, ensuring the ability to insert the cover of preference into the front of box.
NBA 2K is back and it’s bigger, stronger and better this year. Classic teams are still in the game and some teams for the Euroleague as well. MyCareer is a fun mode, but unfortunately, the Spike Lee story is a bit disappointing. Other modes like MyGM and MyTeam are back as well. Controls and gameplay are better than ever. If you love basketball, this is the game for you.
My review is pretty much just about the MyCareer mode. While this years story mode is pretty much nice, it has a lot of flaws and feels cheesy. There was so much potential in it, but Spike Lee dropped the ball on it with implementing WAY too much drama in it. Every cutscene is pretty much the same: characters fighting and then getting friends again… Then the whole story is over after your first season. Then that’s it with cutscenes. You’ll never see those characters again, at least I didn’t.
