I hate that UK is not a college choice, but I still like the ability to play in a few college games (and HS games I assume as well). The story part sounds cool to me, and although like most of you, I chuckle a bit at the nickname...not a dealbreaker for me. My biggest concern is I will get to the NBA and get bored after a few games so will look forward to you MyCareer veterans giving me advice on how to "keep it fresh" going forward. I also have no idea how anyone could do a whole career on this even if they played 2-3 hours a day for everyday for the next year until 2k17 So idk if some simming is in order or not. I digress. Great job by 2k!

Lol it depends on some factors are you trying to be a star, can you stand teammates not being able to play like the cpu, can you understand horrible substitution logic, can you play the entire game if you choose to play 12mins?

Geesh, some people need to ease up. Things is starting to seem kind of personal. Gonna leave that, at that. Don't wanna get banned.

Anyway, I find myself starting to narrow down my list of schools off of the rumored list.

Yes, yes. Absolutely. Hope this is the case. I often like to start several MyCareers depending on my mood. A true PG, a scoring SG or SF, a beastly big man down low. It would certainly be nice if we could choose to skip the backstory stuff and sim until the NBA Draft.

But based on the fact that they say our choices have consequences, I'm guessing this will determine some of our attributes, badges, etc. that we start out with... or something like that. So I don't have my hopes up that we can skip the back story. I'm guessing we'll have to go through it each time we start a MyCareer.

just go in with an open mind mate, trust 2K it won't be as bad as many people are thinking it'll be now

also just wanted to add that the jersey read vibrations because you CAN name him that as you wish, for your personal player you can pick your own wanted name

Does anyone know if we will actually be able to play HS basketball, or will it pick up at like the end of our senior year right as we make our college choice?

It would be cool to be able to play HS ball and load in the custom logos and unis for the high school teams like they had in Heisman mode in NCAA 14.

the reason i ask is because of this paragraph from the "livin da Dream" Trailer description

"The film starts in a high school setting, with the star preparing to make his mark on the game of basketball. The gym setting will give you flashbacks to the glory days, enjoying the painted bricks being covered by District Championships. From there, you’ll make your college choice. Visual Concepts licensed 10 major colleges for the game "

Flashbacks. So will we start as a post HS graduate who is like "Yeah, I remember that district Championship game in 2013" Then you will just play that game? The the story would progress from there based on a win or loss. that would be my guess... but who knows!

Crazy how much confusion is still going on in here regarding this mode. Hope Ronnie and LD clear some things up for you guys in the stream.

So, I'm hispanic, If I change my player to look like me, will my family still be black? that's going to be a little weird..unless I'm adopted? Or do you think the skin tones will be changed on the family? Not that I mind, just curious.

More likely than not you'll be adopted since that's the only thing that makes sense with these characters being real actors and all. There is the possibility that the "parents" change based on changing your skin, but that would seem to be a bit out there so I'm gonna go with adopted.

well crud..now I feel all depressed, my real parents didn't even want me...that's okay, once I make it in the NBA we'll see laughing last

If I have to be adopted, I am passing on 2K16.

# 153 zrohman @ 09/15/15 10:31 PM

YEAH. THAT'S RIGHT. THEY CALL ME FREQUENCY VIBRATIONS. YEAH. WHAT OF IT SON.

LOLOLOLOLOL.

Really?

If I EVER hear that name mentioned from any person I would laugh my butt off.

Yeah it's a nickname. But are they trying to be comedians here? Anytime I think of my player... he's going to be nothing but a joke. Because t hat is literally the worst nickname that you could give any player, probably in the history of basketball. So bad that I will literally laugh out loud when I start my mycareer, anytime they say it.

That's if your even if your adopted. For all we know, those could be "Vic's" parents or your girlfriends parents and they've just taken you in and your actual parents are never shown.

I am joking. I don't really care, but it would be cool to have your own parents.

Just spitballing since I never really thought about it until people started bringing it up. Kind of have a lot of options now that I think about it. They could have your parents be in passing without lines (since they wouldn't be actual actors scanned into the game) to make up for them being changed due to your race.
