'NBA 2K16': Locker codes for Michael Jordan out

Screen grab/ 2K.com2K.com

"NBA 2K16" recently launched this past September and the game continues to thrive by adding new players to the roster. Unlocking these players require locker codes, and 2K Sports has recently released several locker codes via its Twitter account, most notably locker codes for legendary player Michael Jordan.

Michal Jordan's player code is as follows: FZV7P FQ9SU SRNZZ 9AB27 9ZUUT.

Other locker codes include LeBron James: 9BUQS QTKDU ASYJU 3W183 QVXBC, Shaquille O'Neil: GSUM3 ESARX GXD3T S3QJQ FIETU, Larry Bird: ZG9QQ VYAVK I2ZUD TU2VL ZFYLQ, Stephen Curry: NXYJ4 WQCRD C2DQN S36GF TJMZ4 and Karl Malone: Q1585 CPEWU HZNWY WK2EW V1E4C.

In order to redeem the locker codes, a player must simply access the game's Main Menu, head over to Features/Options, select the "Locker Codes" option and input the code. There are also a few extra steps for Steam users, which are given in detail on the official 2K Support page.

There are also code generators surfacing online; however, many players are reluctant to give these generators a try for fear of being banned from the game's online multiplayer. One such generator claims that works around this issue by masking the player's IP, although there are no confirmations to tell if it actually works.

Other items in the game can be unlocked via Virtual Coins or VC, the game's in-game currency. Previously reported were two methods that allow players to infinitely farm as much VC as needed to purchase better gear and cosmetics for their players, although one method might ruin a player's online reputation and should be done with a new character.

"NBA 2K16" was released on Sept. 29 and has already received multiple praises from gamers and critics alike, mostly for re-invigorating the genre with improved gameplay and presentation instead of being another run-of-the-mill update that is hardly any different from the games that preceded it.
