• NBA 2K16 Cover Athletes Revealed

    Polygon has acquired (via a leak) a look at the NBA 2K16 cover athletes and early social media marketing for the game.

    Cover athletes for the game will be Steph Curry, James Harden, and Kevin Durant. Worth noting is the text on the cover: "Be the Story" and that the game features "A Spike Lee Joint." Early community speculation focuses on Lee being involved with MyCareer mode.

    While the text is too small to read, it appears that the text on the top of the cover replicates that of a movie poster. Perhaps these three individuals are the primary players in a MyCareer mode influenced by Spike Lee that plays out like a movie.

      I've never hoped for pastapadre to be wrong as much as I am right now:

      No clue on source.

      It would appear the original leak was at least slightly incorrect.

      The third cover of Kevin Durant is now Anthony Davis.

      Info appears to be emerging, so we may get confirmation on covers and 'Frequency Vibrations' shortly.

      I think pasta's tweet has to be partially incorrect. I can't imagine 2K taking away the role of the created player in the mode, particularly when the initial covers featured "Be The Story" as the tagline. Something has to be off in his tweet.

      And just when, after skipping 2k15, I was considering jumping back into the NBA again this fall. That'll make me skip this game in a heartbeat if true.

      Durant may not be in OKC next season, so maybe to be safe they held off on him.

      I'm taking care of the KD issue as soon as I arrive in OKC at the end of the month.
