I want the possibly to play a starter from the get go if I play like a god in my combine. Doesn't that happen in real life?

Pretty rare for a player to come out after being drafted and be a legit starting-level NBA player. Plus the game would be pretty boring if there is very little progression for your player.

It would be nice to have the option to skip all that on new playthroughs.

Ya looking back I guess it took Kobe and Jordan a year or so before they were playing 40 min games? I am not sure about Lebron as I didn't follow basketball that much during his early years.

A lot of rookies who play lots of minutes are still not net positives on their teams. Usually they are inefficient scorers, or bad defenders, or turn it over a lot, etc. Some guys figure it out after a year, most take two or three. A couple guys have been good players right out of the gate, but its rare.

Here's the last 5 years. Some of those guys were good, but you start going down the list you see guys who were probably drags even if they had numbers.

More importantly, is that uniform/court/arena designer exclusive to MyTeam or can we use it for relocation in franchise mode?

I see that you can request trades after a while in MyCareer, but does the team ever trade you away on their own volition?

Most of what they're representing are the same features in 2k15. Whats new is 3 way trades, a supposed expanded GM mode, an editable logo in MyTeam, a storyline written by Spike Lee, and supposed college ball. That's not necessarily a bad thing though. What 2k really needs is quicker loading times, better optimization on the PC, better bug fixing, and smarter AI. Also splitting the MyPark into 3 different parks is silly for the userbase on PC and should really just be one park.

For high school/college ball I think they might do a NCAA approach where you play in a high school tournament (the better you do the more highly you're recruited), then you play in a college tournament (the better you do the more highly you're interviewed). I'd be okay with that.

Let the burning of pants commence. These things drive me nuts.



I don't think it's been mentioned but 2K has a license to include (only?) the following 11 schools in NBA 2k16:

Arizona
Arizona State
Connecticut
Georgetown
Kansas
Louisville
Michigan
Texas
UCLA
Villanova
Wisconsin

I assume that these are the schools that will be recruiting your MyPlayer when you are still in high school. I can't wait to make Jesus Shuttlesworth a UConn Husky in this Spike Lee Joint.

Are we gonna get to play some games early on where we're dominant athletic freaks against high school children because holy poo poo that would be hilarious. It'd be like that thing lots of games do where you play an intro level or two with all the powers and guns before they get stripped of all their powers/equipment.


Here, completely dominate these high schoolers in the state finals and then go to college/the nba and get crushed by players that are older and bigger and better than you.

I just scored 55 points on 80% shooting. We were up by 20 and the starters were taken out of the game with 2 minutes left. As my guy sits on the bench the assistant coach walks up to him and screams TOO MANY TURNOVERS.

I had 3 man chill out.

I averaged 40 points a game with a ton of rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks, won the playoffs and probably the series MVP, and then immediately went to a cut scene where my agent was having trouble finding me a free agency deal because I didn't do enough last season.

I'm surprised this game/series doesn't have cross platform play. There's no inherent advantage in either control scheme (and if anything, I'm willing to bet most PC players use a gamepad anyway).
