Review: NBA 2k16

The review for this game may be a little late, but this is such a good video game that it deserves it. NBA 2k16 came out in September of 2015, but it is still a game played by a lot of people. Many people say there are many things similar to the older NBA games, but this one has many more features and options than the others had. The first option that comes to mind is the relocation that the player can do of their franchise team. Let's say that I start a "MyTeam" with the Atlanta Hawks, which means that I become the GM of the team. If I wanted to move the Hawks to Richmond, I can do that, but I must go through the full relocation process, which is really cool. First, you pick your city, and then you customize your arena and uniforms, including what to make your finances go to with the stadium. After all of that is done, you send your idea to the other GM's, who then vote on the relocation. If you get more than 15 GM's to say yes, then it goes. If not, then it's back to the drawing board.

Another feature and probably the best new thing on the game is the new and improved MyCareer. In the past, it was all the same, starting off by entering the draft and playing in the NBA. The newest career mode was created by the famous director and Knicks fan, Spike Lee, so you knew that it was going to be a dramatic career. You start out in Brooklyn, going to your local high school. Yes, you get to play high school basketball in this game, but it doesn't stop there. Throughout the career mode, you meet your family and friends, but many scholarship offers come your way as well. For the first time since 2010, college basketball appeared on a video game, as you chose your college and then went on. I am not going to say what exactly happens throughout the MyCareer, as there are many ups, downs, twists, and turns to spoil, and there is even some sadness in there.

The last thing I will be discussing is the insanely good graphics that are shown on this game. I have been playing this game on multiple occasions when a person will walk in and ask who is playing, thinking that I am watching a real NBA game.

In the end, NBA 2k16 has probably been the best game in the entire series, and I can't wait for 2k17.
