The NBA Summer League Will be Featured in NBA 2K16

04:03 PM - July 10, 2015 by Steve_OS

2K Sports has just announced the NBA Summer League will be featured in NBA 2K16. No other details have been revealed, so we are left wondering...

Will the Summer League be a feature exclusive to MyCAREER mode or will it be available in other modes as well? Will we see a return of the D-League or maybe some sort of Draft Combine?

If we get any additional information, we will update this post.

For those of you that have missed out on the recent news about the game, we've highlighted some of them below.

What I am hoping we get : "Cool,with this I will actually get to legitimately work my way up from the bottom and earning my roster spot will be an accomplishment."

What I think we'll really get: "We've assigned you to the summer league so you can develop your game...*2 weeks worth of games later*....Your play has been amazing! We're calling you up to the main roster now, you'll be starting instead of Lebron."

Yes,I'm a pessimist.

a cool idea would be instead of throwing everyone straight to the park, using the summer league for players under 80 overall that way it pays to take time to learn the craft and play with others of your level (ovr wise)

God I hope not. Hopefully 2k realizes some people actually like to take the time to improve their player and earn their superstar status instead of having it preordained.

It's good to see this in the the game and makes sense they would release the info now with summer league underway. Like everyone else I'm hoping Its part of my gm and not just single player thing. If it is part of the my gm where you can play with your rookies and other bench players and guys that are young free agents that would be awesome

Really nice to see this feature back in the series. Unfortunately I won't waste a single red cent on this game if some semblance of Crew isn't in 2k16.

Was so much more than that. And a lot of crews knew the "rules" to avoid them altogether. Wasn't that hard. But the 2K servers were as bad as they were now so sometimes you said "f it" and just played.

I wish the servers were up. I would invite you to 2 games with my crew and I am pretty sure you'd change your mind on it. Hope it comes back, but it seems like 2K always does something w/ it to disappoint. It has too much potential.

This info is cool and all but if the CAP sucks again I'll be upset.

The hair is the same as it's always been. Same exact tattoos from the original 2k with iverson on the cover. No way to change leg shape or arm shape it's so ridiculous. I mean I kinda understand changing players shape means you'll have ppl doing crazy stuff with the arms like how ppl make their noses super long on 2k15 but at least let us pick between thin, muscular and fat or SOMETHING.

It would be cool to see bigger players in the park like in real life but all these need to be tied to attributes. If I make a fat player his speed cap should be way lower etc etc. Guess we'll just have to wait for some news on that.

If you simply looked at the bad, I could see why you'd feel that way. But for me, the good would outweigh the bad. I like the custom team/uniforms, the arena ambience, actual NBA rules (INCLUDING TIMEOUTS to disrupt momentum and advance the ball), matchmaking instead of open lobbies, no 'Got Next' bull****, no insane wait times, no purposely breaking the court(s), no insane lag from multiple games going PLUS the morons who either stand around doing nothing, or doing emotes, NO RANDOMS, etc.

Can we stay on topic about the Summer League hype and not start talking about Crew from almost 5 years ago? I'm pretty sure there are a ton of crew threads on OS to discuss that stuff in...or the wishlist thread.

No we dont have a place to discuss crew..every thread gets closed lol. However I wouldnt be shocked if SL had something 2 do with online myplayer!

Summer league shouldn't be implemented into my league unless the D-league is as well

Agreed. Summer League and D-League go hand and hand in MyLeague. I guess the only way they could make SL work without DL is if they expanded the rosters.

I'm just hoping SL makes it in MyLeague. I'm just not a big MyPlayer guy and I'm even less so if I have to play with a guy named Frequency Vibrator. I can't wait until MyLeague info drops.

Yea i'm hoping we actually earn a role and it should vary from team to team but we already know how 2k does it
