The latest episode of NBA 2KTV features host Rachel DeMita visiting with several game designers and producers to glean some early NBA 2K16 game information.

Gameplay Producer Scott O'Gallagher shared that three new classic teams will be coming to NBA 2K16 the 99-00 Raptors, 07-08 Celtics, and the 00-01 Lakers - and that there will be more.

Senior Producer Rob Jones and artist Winnie Hsieh disclosed that shoes will be 3D scanned into the game to help improve their visual quality and that there will be updated/proper shoes for players such as Dwayne Wade and Klay Thompson while the team is currently working BrandBlack on acquiring the correct shoes for Jamal Crawford.

2K aims to improve the crowd as they have recaptured fan animations and hope to replicate the atmosphere and excitement from the biggest moments properly, as Producer Asif Chaudhri cited the local Oracle Arena as an inspiration.

Finally, Gameplay Director Mike Wang shared that the team is working on something 'big' and that the engineers have been tasked with tackling the 'biggest and most challenging' items in recent years. He also added that animation and tech under the hood have been improved, while ending his segment saying that the AI team is working on something big that will make the game look 'significantly better than any [basketball] game before it.'

What do you think this 'big' item could be? Do you like teases such as these or would you prefer 2K wait to discuss the game until more can be disclosed and shared? Continue on to watch the latest episode of NBA 2KTV with the first info on NBA 2K16.
