As NBA 2K16 is inching closer towards its big debut this September, the hype continues among the fans with the latest top three game features revealed so far 2K Sports has announced the classic teams, Kevin Durant has shared new screenshots of himself including his player rating and an new teaser video of Anthony Davis called 'Rise' is released.
Just recently, NBA superstar Kevin Durant took to his official Twitter account and shared his own self's screenshots for NBA 2K16. Durant has also announced that he has 91 player rating. At 91, this supports the mere fact that he is one of the best players in the entire game.
Attack of the Fanboy, however, notes that Kevin Durant's player rating in NBA 2K16 is lower than what he received in NBA 2K15 with a high 95 rating when it launched last October. Despite that a 91 rating is still high, a 4 point drop still counts which could be due to his injury during the 2014-2015 NBA season but it is important to note that only 4 players got a rating greater than 90 in the previous game. .
On the other hand, 2K Sports keeps its promise to fans for new reveals with the announcement of the new classic teams for NBA 2K16. For this week, the game developer has confirmed 2003-04 Detroit Pistons in addition to two more teams revealed earlier..
Via 2K's official Twitter account, the 1999-00 Toronto Raptors and 2007-08 Houston Rockets, both of which won the NBA Finals, would debut in the new game.
