NBA 2K16 To Feature Steph Curry, Anthony Davis, and James Harden on Cover

[NowAndLaterCARZ]

I like the covers, but im intrigued by a few things. 1st is the different city skylines for each cover. Davis has the chicago skyline and harden has la. So maybe hometowns play a big role. 2nd like others stated is the college jerseys, i highly doubt they have the full ncaa license so that leads me to the 3rd point. spike lee directed he got game, if you remember the movie all the colleges were fictionally named. so maybe we will play in college at "Big State" in mycareer mode haha. I would have loved a John Wall cover though.

Good news, but I'm not anticipating anything of note to come from that commercial. Typically we don't even get actual game footage in those, just the previous game's engine running in a commercial promoting the upcoming release. Here's hoping to something different though since we've gotten a lot of early tidbits this year that we've not been privy to this early in the cycle in years past.

I feel you but in order for them to even have those pictures up of them in college, I'm pretty sure you cant half license it...the guys at 2K know what they were doing with this so im sure it has to be a full license with just use of logos and uniforms if at all. Or it could be a select amount of teams that they licensed.

On the pictures it's OK now...doesn't matter because they are in the NBA. The rule is you can't profit off of your own likeness WHILE ATTENDING college. But afterwards, I think it's fine.

is 3 stars on single cover art for digital version correct ?

True, but you don't think the NCAA would want a piece of the pie if they have the "likeness" of logo/jersey? even if its just in the cover?

I noticed that too, and then I thought why doesn't Curry get the Charlotte skyline!?

The covers are singular, there is no triple cover on sale. However, we will have news on how you can interchange covers in coming days.


Reading this tweet. I'd think that they'll sell one in stores (probably Steph Curry, with the way the finals are going) and then maybe give you a download code or mail in code where you can either print off yourself or get the alternate Davis or Harden covers in the mail or something.

If all three will be in stores, why not just say all 3 will be available in stores ??
