After releasing player ratings, 2K Sports should be dropping the last batch of "NBA 2K16" teasers and promos to keep the hype up as it prepares to release the newest iteration of the basketball simulation video game on Sept. 29.

Fans and media outlets expect that the much-awaited title will be the best one yet as the game studio touts it to be. One reason is that it will be the most accurate and meticulous one, with the basketball stars' littlest mannerisms depicted in the installment.

In "NBA 2K16," gamers will see Stephen Curry play with his mouthpiece as he always does, James Harden "stir the pot," LeBron James pull off his classic silencer move after an epic shot and Chris Bosh carry out some video-bombing, which he has become notorious for.

The game's MyCareer mode, which was developed by filmmaker and basketball enthusiast Spike Lee, is promised to be more personal and special as it chronicles the life of a high school student with a dream of playing in the biggest and grandest of leagues.

Features from previous installments, which include MyTeam, MyGM as well as the 2K Pro Am and MyPark for MyPlayer, were all enhanced for "NBA 2K16" as well. The game will also mark the return of Summer League and will feature 10 colleges for the MyCareer mode.

The latest of the franchise will also be accompanied by soundtrack curated by three well-known DJs led by DJ Khaled. The cover stars of the game are not one but three –Curry, Harden and Anthony Davis of New Orleans Pelicans. A special edition "NBA 2K16" with basketball legend Michael Jordan will also be made available.

Players will go through 10 league ranks throughout the online mode, starting off with the Freshman rank, then Junior Varsity, Varsity and all the way down to the Hall of Fame and Greatest of All Time status. Ranking up will be no easy feat with every win and every loss counted.
