Naaaaah 1:18:24 this edit absolutely killed me 😂 how did 2k go from storylines about catching bodies to now in 2k23 doing fashion runway shows is beyond me
@@qwertyzxcvbn3174 yep,and despite sometimes being too weird (is written by spike lee after all) at least it has some story,some depth.... and don't forget the highschool and college games .... compared to nba2k25 or the previous installments is way better
@@damn_jaz9895I'd say it's the best story compared to the others, but the ceiling is pretty low. I think the story could've been told a lot better with characters that would better connect with the audience. The character names couldn't be any more cheesy with a dialogue that feels unreal. They could've better explore issues Vic brings to "Freq" in regards to his life and career. The writers state that Vic is an issue with the protagonists career, but I felt that they imply it at the beginning instead of showing Vic's flaws. 2k16 tells a theme of friendship vs career; how Freq would have to choose between his problematic companion or his dream. I think that the premise of the story is great but it could've been written a lot better and with a lot less cheesy characters
I felt like the story was pretty rushed and events such as vic getting into fights, freq getting into an altercation with someone in highschool (which could've impacted his career), and vic dying could've been a cutscene of their own because of their impact to the story. As the audience, I want to see and feel the world in the eyes of Freq so I can understand what it felt like to be him. I want to know what being a rookie in the NBA feels like and what it's like to choose between a longtime friend or a dream that has became a reality. Again, the theme of the story is good but the storytelling is god awful
Personally I HATED this story, this is the only 2k where the rival character trying to get you out the league ISNT IN THE LEAGUE. People give him flowers cause he dies but he’s honestly an awful human being. I mean even in the argument cutscene, “Hey Vic we gotta talk, you’re going too wild and I’m tired of having to bail you out of jail, you’re gonna cost me my career and I can’t walk away from millions of dollars. Also I know you tried to sleep with my girlfriend, bro what the hell we’re supposed to be boys. Remember when that guy tried to rob you and you pushed him down a stairwell and I took the fall? Yeah, now give me your car.” Then he dies, trash
Bro I was just saying the same thing. But the only thing different is I liked the story. They even said it the Vic was just a messed up character in the head. That’s who he was. Ig the main thing of the story was don’t sometimes you gotta let things go even if it’s hard idk. But ig that story wasn’t terrible
Vic is probably the most unlikeable character that they made in a 2K game. Next to B-Fresh. LMAO He literally blackmails your character, made a pass on your girl and then gets himself killed in your car. And I'm suppose to feel sad for him? Spike Lee's trippin'. LOL The reason why I really hated this game is that you don't really have the choice of cutting out that obnoxious prick early.
This video was way too funny for no reason at all 😭 2k outdid themselves with this storyline, me and my brother was just talking about this the other day
Man. I forgot how utterly amazing this story was. Spike Lee is incredibly gifted for giving us a legit movie in a time restricted video game. Just perfection.
How is this an amazing story? Your player killed a guy, your best friend is insane and then dies. His stupid name and dance, his weirdo sister and the first season is literally only 8 games. That's not even talking bout the weirdly racist owner and how bad the acting was
@@qwertyzxcvbn3174 ok but if you wanna oddly point out all the negatives in the plot to spin the narrative then by all means. Doesn’t mean there weren’t overwhelmingly great storytelling points.
@@qwertyzxcvbn3174that’s exactly how was a short movie inside of a basketball game now it’s random cut scenes , n annoying quest just to activate certain cut scenes
@@qwertyzxcvbn3174bro preferred meeting Jake from State Farm and having to score 100 points 50 assists 50 rebounds and 50 steals or blocks in 3 games or less instead of a gritty short story in New York 🤦🏽♂️💀
I swear the old games look and feel better than the new ones. 2K16 alone had the best story ever. They need to bring this type of feeling back to the game
Damn this game was my shit. I was really really upset when 2k decided to retire ea servers for older games. This game had the best myplayer story as well as mypark
Wait people loved this story?! All I remember was thinking how dumb as a rock Freq was cause he kept letting people walk all over him ESPECIALLY Vic. Little coat tail riding goblin got what he deserved, wish he had done it on his own though not with Freq's car, damn. Ruinin' my Freq's life even from beyond the grave. Then they try to have him do his little pity party speech at the end to try and make you emotional and all I could think was "No damn, I'm glad you're finally gone, now I can actually play basketball instead of having to play babysitter for your dumbass"
On me til he started cutting through it nd shii smh the Love I have for that game I dang near took it as disrespect 😂😂😂 but mad love Premium mad love 💚
I love 2k16, it was my first next gen 2k i owned. I remember the story being really corny, which it still is, and cringing every scene. Idk maybe because game devs couldn't translate the acting and scenes well. But in a way that was the charm of the game ig. Also the team owner was extra af lmao
Lol got so bored on 2k23 I literally just redownloaded this just to play the story. All the Ja Morant drama reminded me of one of the best 2K’s ever 😂🤷🏽
i remember getting this game in 2016 when okc was my dream team and just bouncing from team to team dominating the league as a 6’ 9” PF but never winning a championship and i was too dumb to understand how to upgrade my player
Aids, death, and self deletion in a 2k game is INSANE btw. Props to them for taking a risk like that
@@lordkiza8838 did you mean to reply to someone else comment? This has nothing to do with what I said
@@KWILKSP huh
@@lordkiza8838 bro you gotta be high
That's what happens when you get one of the greatest movie writers ever spike Lee to write the story
@BoxingisgoatedBoxingisgo-sy7jy And he had a lot of great ones
I ain’t gone hold you, I woulda requested a trade immediately after team owner finish his speech. Buddy was TWEAKIN
Lls nah fr ain’t nobody talking down on me
Lol i would demand either a trade or immediately destroy the contract
I'm not gonna stay around people like that
Str8 factz

i don't remember the story being this wild 😭
Right this is story is wild 😂

NBA2K16 is and will always be one of my all time favorite games! Thank you very much for this video. It was amazing reliving the mycareer experience.

theyll never replicate 2k16 best story and gave us a solid park . thanks for the nostalgia

My boy Vic still hittin on Yvette in the afterlife 😂
Vic is crazy he liked Freq’s mom too 😂😂😂😂
Outrageously unacceptable
"That's not Vic no more. That's Van Lier" killed me 😂
I was listening to Vic’s speech at the end and when I heard the part at 1:50:22 made me laugh anyway RIP Victor Van Lier
Having a hat that says FOF is HOF glazing 😂😂
Rewatching this really is making me realize how “Hood Mentality” can destroy your life man. Everybody won’t make it to the next level with you.
Well obviously? Surely you're not just making that connection ?

1:50:22-1:50:26😂😂😂😂 Vic was trying to poor his heart out dat clip is funny tho
Freq caught a body 😂😂😂
LMAOOOOO
59:40 Basically what Ja be tryna do 😭💀
Only likable characters in this story was his parents, Dom, and Yvette. I hated this damn story 😂
the player commentary during the break was way ahead of its time
I was glad Vic died. “Don’t be a hero, drop that zero”
44:30 “ain’t nobody playing for the jazz that’s a mega star “😂
“freq got a body!!!!” 😂😂😂😂😂
That’s not Vic anymore, that’s Van Lier 😂😂😂

Even tho it's just a game , if you've actually been through something like this you'd understand me.
Watching this career mode again make me realize how bad it was and how hungry everyone was for his money

At the end of vics letter I was waiting on him like the pastor at the end of church 😭😭
0:00-1:56:26 peak
The best storyline ever created in 2k History ever since then, every storyline has been mad Repetitive
Nah 2k17 storyline was tuff. It was almost as good as 2k16
I can’t be the only person who celebrated Vic’s death like getting rid of an annoying fly that you couldn’t find.
There was prolly someone else who did, maybe would’ve been me 😂
Dey thought Dey was slick the officer is the main 2k ref
bruh i remember these cut scene being wild long and always skipping them. the only one i watched was the last one where vic dies
thanks for not talking during the cutscenes, straight subbed after that
Look Ming Ching had me dieing 😂
Bro 2k16 was a Disney channel Lmao 😂😂

Nothing says Disney channel more then aids, death and catching a body 💀
