Could NBA 2K16 be Implementing College Hoops?

Just want to point out that it is 11 teams confirmed through those CLC listings. I wouldn't expect 2K or any company for that matter that was going through the process of doing this to include an uneven number of teams though. Just seems like it would make sense to go with an even number. So with Davidson being on Steph's cover, seems they would be the 12th team to even those numbers out. Taking a closer look at the Anthony Davis cover now, seems like Kentucky is indeed a no go for the game.



Photo of Anthony Davis cutting down the net after the Kentucky National Championship victory. Notice the "2012 NCAA Men's" wording just above the "National Champions" wording. Now notice the University of Kentucky logo just above that.



Now observe the same spots on the shirt. Missing a few things right? Would line up with the missing North Carolina stuff on the MJ cover and the lack of licensing on CLC too. Thanks for the high-res image Steve!!

EDIT: Just caught the missing NCAA Basketball wording on the ladder in the 2K cover as well. Pictures really are worth a thousand words.

I don't think they'd just have those 10-11 schools unless you had the option to create the school you wanna go to if not one of them. Seems extremely limited to have just 10 out of about 350ish none of which include Duke, UK or Unc

huge chance its for mycareer only. Guys here will cry if that happens

I was only expecting maybe a fictional final four with created schools like the HS playoffs in NCAA Football so i'll take this. Also, I'm confused as to who would think this would be fully in any other mode besides MyCareer as that is where this makes the most sense. I understand people want what we used to have in a college game and then have guys go into the draft from there, but how and why would you have a fully fleshed out college season with only 10 schools?

Makes sense to me too for My League

That's a very good find. Stinks that UK is not in the game...I've never tried MyPlayer and being able to start at UK in some capacity would have been cool. That said, I suppose I can do a Michigan or a Texas (I do not "care" for a lot of the other teams on that list that are included lol), and see how it is though regardless.

It is still a positive step in the right direction.

Just random thoughts to myself.

If it's limited to only a handful of schools, why doesn't 2k simply create generic schools using all the colors of spectrum. Throw colored darts on the map of the United States. If it lands in DC with a purple dart, create a collegiate team "purple." or whatevers..

or throw all 50 states in a bucket along with 50 colors in a bucket. Grab one state, grab one color. Boom. There you go. A college team.... or whatevers.

So its probably just my career and most likely just playing through the elite eight? Or possibly sweet 16? That would make sense.
