2K Sports has teamed with director and basketball fanatic Spike Lee to write and direct the revamped Career Mode in NBA 2K16.
Visual Concepts president Greg Thomas was excited by the deal, stating:
By writing and directing the MyCAREER storyline, Spike brings the real world experience of the NBA to life like never before.
NBA 2K16‘s three separate covers — all labelled “A Spike Lee Joint,” — feature James Harden, Anthony Davis, and MVP Steph Curry.
NBA 2K16 will release for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, and Xbox 360 on September 29, and pre-ordering the game grants you access as much as four days in advance. And although the cover athlete you happen to receive on your box will be random, there will be a “foldable insert will all 3 individual cover athletes” inside, letting you swap them out as you see fit.
