Stephen "Steph" Curry made quite a name for himself last season playing for the Golden State Warriors and helping them win the team win the NBA Finals.

He loves basketball, and this is a new frontier for him."

Thomas said that the developers of NBA 2K16 wanted to provide a game that can be played by all ages. He said, "We make an E-rated game. It's an NBA licensed project and obviously the NBA cares a lot about their brand and makes sure we stick within those boundaries. Spike understood that from the get-go, but he didn't take his foot off the gas because of that. He still brought the drama."

And even as the release date of the NBA 2K16 is nearing, 2K Games is reported to be adding new features into the game, including major changes to make it more exciting.
