NBA 2K16 is
a basketball simulation video game developed by Visual Concepts and published
by 2K Sports. It is the 17th installment in the NBA 2K franchise and the

different covers for the main game, one featuring Anthony Davis of the New
Orleans Pelicans, another featuring Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors,
and the last featuring James Harden of the Houston Rockets. A special edition version of the game was

features Tony Parker of the San Antonio Spurs as the cover athlete, the German

NBA 2K16 simulates the experience of the National Basketball Association. Players play
NBA games with real or created players and teams in various game modes, such as
MyCareer, MyTeam, and standard games. Players may play regular season NBAgames, playoff games, Summer League games, and others. Apart from the NBA,
Euroleague teams are also featured, thus simulating the Euroleague. Players may
create their own player and take them through a basketball career with the
central goal of being the greatest basketball player of all time. The game
offers many customization options for the player; the player may customize the
physical appearance, attributes, and skill set of any player. Players may also
create, build, and customize their own teams. The soundtrack was curated by DJPremier, DJ Mustard, and DJ Khaled. It consists of 50 different songs.
Director Spike Lee was heavily involved in the development of the game's MyCareer mode.
Lee's goal was to create a more story focused MyCareer mode than previous
installments. Lee worked with real world basketball players, following them and
documenting their experience in high school and college competition, in an
effort to more accurately depict the lifestyle of real professional basketball
players. Several improvements and new additions were made to NBA 2K16, such as
full body scanning, and overall aesthetic improvements. Several versions of the
game will be released, such as a special edition, which includes severalphysical and digital extras. If players pre-ordered the game, they received it
on September 25, 2015.
NBA 2K16
was met with a positive reception upon release. Many critics praised the
overall presentation and gameplay, as well as the large amount of content, the
new features, and the developers' ability to still introduce positive changes
after many previous installments. However, some critics still experienced
online technical issues, while others heavily criticized the MyCareer mode for
being far too restrictive. Some critics also felt that changing the controls
was unnecessary and criticized the lack of tutorials and the presence of
microtransactions. NBA 2K16 shipped over 4 million copies in its first week,making it the fastest selling game in the series.
