Another pre-order incentive will see those who put down a deposit on the game receive 10,000 virtual currency, while those who opt for the current-gen or PC version will earn three MyTeam Emerald Packs – each containing a guaranteed Emerald player. If you decide to pre-order the last-gen version, you'll pick up a MyTeam Gold Booster Pack with one Gold player and four extra gold items.
Renowned film director and New York Knicks fan Spike Lee is involved with the game's story mode, and Stephen Curry of Golden State, James Harden of Houston, and Kevin Durant of Oklahoma City have been selected as the game's cover stars.
We're sure to find out more about the game in the coming months, but fans have already made some suggestions about what they'd like to see.
NBA 2K16 is coming to PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
