Michigan confirmed to appear in the new NBA 2K16 Game
Apparently in the new NBA 2K16 game, in the MyCareer mode you will be able to choose from 10 schools for your player to attend, and Michigan is one of the 10. MyCareer mode follows you from high school, to college, and through the NBA.
Confirmation from 3 people with the game, Wisconsin is 10th college in NBA 2K16. Here are the other 9. pic.twitter.com/LNC8jsmpx1

What if I just want to go to Michigan and then pass on the NBA and work in finance?

These must be players planning on staying in school a while. Looks like NBA 2K16 has the smart avatars.
Odd choice of schools I must say.

I'm assuming Duke, UNC, and Kentucky politely declined. Not sure why they would, as it's free advertising. The only school I'm not sure about is Texas. The others are at least close to being blue blood basketball schools. They've all had recent success.

Remember this is mostly a popularity contest -- they are trying to sell video games. Michigan is a choice because we have the most alumni, and they tend to be everywhere and affluent etc. The rest of the list seems to mostly span the country geographically. If the goal of this is to appeal to as many gamers as possible, all over the country, this is a decent set of ten schools that play decent basketball.

I see they left off MSU as well. They must know the trend of players that stay there longer tend to get drafted lower or not all when they should have left earlier.

It will be available on Xbox 360 and PS3, but I don't know how many years they'll keep doing that. Most game developers are just not supporting last gen at all with new upcoming releases.

should help with recruiting

To be fair here, with Georgetown you would get a team that would inexplicably wither and pass on in the early rounds of any playoff in the game, so there is that as an alternative to "weird guys", but since they don't play in the conference nor are they a rival, it may not be all that satisfying.

Love it.

good thing it's not an NCAA tournament game, half those teams are eliminated the first weekend every year.

are in the game, fortunately. Not those goofy tire tread unis. Only get to play a few college games though. Really wishing 2k will start making a college hoops game again, prefer that over NBA.

- Kentucky
- Florida
- Gonzaga
- MSU
- LSU
- Maryland

That would cover the rest of the country...create "big games" to play in when you're in college...and get all of the teams that "have" to be there when you're talking college bball.
They should at least try for 16 to create a Sweet 16 and let you play that out in the tournament.

I'm assuming they're trying the college basketball aspect as a trial and will probably add more next year.

I had an issue with NBA 2k15 where I could no longer get it to launch and their support after telling me to re-install just told me to watch their twitter for patch notices.
It was obviously some sort of corrupt game cache/save information but no dice at getting actual support on it. I guess when I wipe my pc and throw 10 on it I could play 2k15 but now that 2k16 is out, won't buy it unless I can get for under $30.
