2K Sports’ in-house studio turned to these fictitious frenemies after their attempts to make real NBA stars into the player’s mentor turned in some embarrassing voice work ( looking at you, Eric Gordon) for NBA 2K14 and 2K15. Love letter or victory lap, Visual Concepts earned it. As one fan put it on Reddit, it feels like Visual Concepts was writing a sentimental farewell note to NBA 2K on last-generation consoles. They’re terrible.Īll of these guys are back with their original actors at the mic. It’s impossible to avoid this nickname, or the terrible game that causes it.Ĭoach Island keeps the team focused, even with a huge lead against Salt Lake City.įrom left: Shammy Wells ( NBA 2K18), Jackson Ellis ( NBA 2K14), player-character Vespasian King, Sheldon “ATM” Middleton ( NBA 2K19), and Andre “Vlad the Impaler” Hagi (NBA 2K19)Īfter ATM and Jackson Ellis get 10-day contracts, they’re replaced by Tom John (Jeremy Kahn, left, or is he on the right?) and John Tom (whatever, vice versa, played by Nate Duncan). The gang welcome the player character with a nickname: Soft Serve.

Vespasian “Junior” King (Tye White), son of college legend Duke (played by Jesse Williams), turned pro after playing just four games for Newark East high school. Your NBA G-League head coach is Charlie Island (Cameron Britton), who was an NBA video coordinator before getting his coaching gig with the development squad. He’s back, balder, and older in NBA 2K21 as a teammate.

The created player (Tye White) walks down the tunnel with his G-League team for the first time in NBA 2K21’s M圜areer narrative for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X And Shammy Wells comes from NBA 2K18, where he starred alongside the player character “DJ,” jacking up an unconscionable amount of contested three-point shots and getting in DJ’s face if he wasn’t passing him the ball enough. He was a formidable post player from Eastern Europe whose shot-blocking pushes you to find open teammates instead.
Hagi also appeared in that game, as a gameplay opponent only, with no cutscenes or speaking lines. He partnered with ATM the last time the series went to the G League, in NBA 2K19, where the two billed themselves as the “Smoke and Mirrors” player combination. I played all 10 games with a wide smile, even the first one, where I think the game nerfs all your attributes to rock bottom in order to contrive a bad start that’s key to the player’s personal journey.Įllis skipped NBA 2K20 last year but has been in every M圜areer story since 2013, even making a cameo as an arena security officer in NBA 2K18.

Visual Concepts got the band back together in the best way for M圜areer’s opening on new consoles, but as they kept the teammate reunion under wraps through the game’s Nov.
They’ve been the career narrative antagonists going back to NBA 2K14, with Ellis as the motor-mouthed measuring stick for the player’s original rise to fame. Then you meet your teammates: the Tracy Morgan-esque Sheldon “ATM” Middleton Shammy Wells, who’d shoot a four-pointer if they had a line for it a Nosferatu-looking dude called Vlad the Impaler and, of course, Jackson Ellis, a hype-man to himself.Īll of these names are familiar to longtime NBA 2K players. You might be starting, but he expects you to earn your playing time from the next game on out. Your world-weary coach mutters at the trash left by hockey players from the night before.
