Wouldn't it be cool if we could get more names included in the game so that you can hear it from the announcers? I remember a few years back MLB The Show devs asked us to submit our last names for inclusion into their game. My last name isn't very common (Favreau), so that was the first time I was able to hear announcers say my name in a game.

I'm wondering if we can get the same thing done with NBA 2K17. I'm getting tired of being called "The General"...or "Freq" for that matter. I just want to hear my last name. Maybe the devs will see this..

I would be happy with just being able to type my last name. My last name is Jewell and ever since the switch to current gen my name is treated like a curse word. I report it to 2K every year and they never fix it.

the show mlb, has been the best for names. they even ask how you want it pronounced.

would be GREAT to have that on 2k. especially for pro am

I can't even get my first name in (Yeshua)!

I don't think I can name a sports game where I've seen my last name in use other than MLB I think. I wish more devs sought out to get more uncommon last names in the game. Oddly enough, there are some pretty odd additions to the 2K name bank like P-Forty, DJ Whoo Kid, etc. so I don't see why they couldn't add more ACTUAL last names to the game for use.

NHL is the only game that has ever had my last name in the game and I'm still trying to figure out why it is in there.

Ive been lucky for games (not just 2k) to say my first and last name. It's so common lol

When I found out two things about Todd MacCulloch (why he was forced to retire, and his pinball fandom), I tried to re-create him in the game.

Well, guess what?

The name MacCulloch is blacklisted as inappropriate!

Seriously, try it yourself!

And I thought it was bad enough that the common surname Michaels wasn't in the game...that's not my last name, but it's so common you'd think it would be included.
