    YouTuber 'ThatKiddKuda' has posted a video that appears to show a list of schools with licenses through the CLC and 2K Sports. Since the cover reveal featured background images of the cover athletes wearing their college uniforms, community speculation has centered on users being able to play some sort of college basketball game within NBA 2K16.

    The leaked Achievement list includes users being able to "announce where your college ball will be played at," however there is no achievement tied to playing with/as a college team, simply declaring for the NBA Draft - which, as far as we currently know, could be nothing more than a chapter/storyline advance in MyCareer.

    Some of the schools with 2K Sports as video game licensing partner include: Arizona, Arizona State, Georgetown, Kansas, Louisville, Michigan, Texas, and Wisconsin. Noteworthy schools omitted from said licensing agreement include Duke and North Carolina. The search function does not include all Division I basketball programs (not all license through the CLC), currently making it impossible to determine all licensed schools.

    To no one's surprise, the Skills Trainer and Gauntlet modes are returning to Madden NFL 16 - along with some improvements.

    Users who begin Skills Trainer on Rookie or Pro difficulty will receive extra information to help them get up to speed on Madden and the game of football, including real world football concepts and strategy. The mode will go through the new passing, catching, and coverage mechanics, so it could possess positive benefits for returning Madden NFL players as well.

    The Gauntlet returns with new mini-games and challenges. Most noteworthy is that of the millions to play the mode last year, less than 200 actually completed all 40 levels. This speaks to the feature's difficulty with so few 'lives' given to complete the mode.
