Enumerating the problems with Lee’s script and characters could gobble up this entire piece, but I’d be missing the forest for the trees. I think Livin’ Da Dream is a cliché-ridden, shallow, ridiculous mess, but that’s not my biggest problem with this version of M圜areer. It's a cliché-ridden, shallow, ridiculous mess Lee traces your ascent from high school and college stardom to the Big Show alongside your twin / manager CeCe and your troubled best friend Vic Van Lier without spoiling anything, it’s a story that ends in a tragedy you’ll find almost welcome if you react to these characters the same way I did. You’re a product of the Harlem projects and two loving parents, a fantastic student, and a basketball prodigy. (You can change it in the options if you’re really desperate, but the game doesn’t point that out.) You play Frequency Vibrations, "Freq" for short - that’s your nickname, everyone will call you that no matter what name you actually choose, and it carries over into your post-narrative career, so you might as well get used to it.

Lee wrote, produced, and directed Livin’ Da Dream, the framing device for the first half-dozen hours of NBA 2K16’s career mode, like it was a feature film you’re invited to rewatch it in full on your player’s private practice court after you’re led through the conclusion by enough gameplay. This year’s version of M圜areer marks a major step away from the loose narratives and scattered cutscenes of games past. I love this goofy part of an otherwise serious game, and that’s why it hurts me to tell you that 2K and Spike Lee have come together to ruin its newest version. When all of your work and skill development culminates in a windmill yammed on some unsuspecting center’s head - or a trip to the Hall of Fame - there are few things more rewarding.
NBA 2K16 MY TEAM PACKS SERIES
The NBA 2K series’ create-a-player mode - it’s been called MyPlayer and M圜areer at various points in the series - is one of my favorite things about sports video games.Īt its best, it captures the essential silliness of achieving individual, virtual greatness and marries that silliness to a potent, finely tuned power fantasy. Tiny point guards who can jump like Spud Webb and bomb threes like Steph Curry prototypical shooting guards, chiseled from marble and feted with endorsements paint-bound monoliths who back their way into MVPs and championships I’ve made them all, played them from the ends of benches to fake billboards around the world. The customization options are all up to you.I’ve spent hundreds of hours lifting nobodies to NBA stardom over the last half-decade.
NBA 2K16 MY TEAM PACKS FREE
You will also see historic courts, free agents, Euroleague jerseys and logos. In addition to shoes we have added basketball cards including team balls, animal prints, and even a beach ball. Like all great shoes they do wear out eventually. Shoes also have an advantage because they last for multiple games before having to reapply. Each shoe can carry up to 3 different attribute boosts and when applied will appear on that player in game.
Shoes have arrived in MyTEAM! Replacing the old attribute cards, shoes will be making their appearance in a slightly different way. There are so many additional themes that will arrive throughout the season including the return of Throwback Thursday. This card will highlight their specific game performance of that night. A moment card is a card that is added shortly after a player has a great moment. Dynamic Ratings players will be released closer to the season but those who pre-order will get a couple of these players as part of their MyTEAM bonus content.Īnother theme we have announced will be Moment cards. Players in this class match their current player counterpart in the collection at launch but will have fluctuating attributes as the season starts based on their real performances. One of the themes we added this year is the Dynamic Ratings theme. Each theme is represented by a custom art background and an emblem in the corner. We also added the overall rating to the top corner to make it easier to sort through your players when building a lineup.
When flipping cards you will instantly know what general overall range the player belongs to by color.
Bronze, Silver, Gold, Amethyst and Diamond are the only border colors and ramp accordingly. The first change is the border colors of the cards are now tied to the overall rating of a player. We also took in a lot of the community feedback and came up with a way to classify cards in two ways. We wanted each card to feel unique and clearly recognizable when it comes out of a pack. For us it was no longer enough to have a special edition card. This year it was important for the cards to stand out and feel “different” from each other.
