NBA 2K16: 6 Things Spike Lee's Involvement Tells Us

2. It'll Be Like No Other Career Mode In Sports Gaming

While it was previously mentioned that 2K could stray too far from its roots, the involvement of Spike Lee could also make it one of the most innovative sporting franchises in the history of gaming. For the most part, career modes tend to err on the side of blandness. Madden, FIFA, PGA Tour, and indeed NBA 2K have all ran the risk of losing momentum at some point or another, and the latter seems to be the only franchise keen to break the mould. Even if Lee's involvement doesn't go as swimmingly as 2K Sports are hoping, it still ensures that 2K16 will go down as the first sports game to incorporate a true sense of storytelling into its career mode.
