View Full Version : NBA 2K16 to Include Spike Lee Storyline Featuring Player Named Frequency Vibrations

Lee said the game's story centers on a basketball player named Frequency Vibrations, whose personal exploits off the court are just as chaotic as the game on it.

"It's about the trials and tribulations of life on a big stage with the money, fame, temptations, family members, the press, fans, all that stuff," said Lee.

While the game is a basketball simulation at its heart, "NBA 2K" developer Visual Concepts has integrated cinematic elements into the single-player mode over the past five years. For the latest round, the gamemakers passed that task to Lee in hopes of achieving a slam dunk with gamers.http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/13009876/spike-lee-drafts-story-nba-2k16-video-game

Sounds awful.

2K seems more concerned about mingling with celebrities instead of making a good basketball sim. They've lost their soul since 2K11.

They can't do this without it being cheesy and/or rated Teen or Mature. I wish they'd give up on this storyline thing, it's NBA 2K, not Elder Scrolls.

This storyline > 2k14 storyline > 2k15 storyline

I honestly wish they'd bring back college hoops

great, more scripted bullshit to decide how you play the game rather than let you decide

seriously. it was the worst in 2k14 where they'd literally make you lose just to progress a storyline. they need to abandon this rpg shit. they aren't good at it at all. just be a sports game.

Fluff. Just like the rags to riches story in 2k15.

All I know is I went through that as quickly as possible, simmed games 1 by 1 for a season after the endorsement to get a full 99, and spent all my time on park and Jordan rec until I got bored a couple months ago.

I want a basketball simulation, not a visual novel.

Don't know if I'm reading this correctly.

So James Harden lives in the strip club in 2k16?

Can you get your player into alcohol/drugs and banned for life?

In.

That said, I've heard an update that the MyPlayer's nickname will be Frequency Vibrations, not his real name. So I think maybe that means you still choose your own face and name but perhaps your nickname has to be Frequency Vibrations.

Make us take an IQ test and then place us into a college where we work our way up. Then give us an option to take HGH and shit and hope we don't get caught. Host our own TV special during free agency and recruit other players by balling them 1v1. During the offseason, we get to choose if we what we want to eat which actually effects our body. We get to choose if we want to sleep or hit the club with JR. Then we have a side dating game. Etc.

I just came here to say that Frequency Vibrations is the corniest name I've ever heard. And that's coming from a guy with a username like mine.
