Dude...best soundtrack was when they had that Redman/Busta Rhymes beat...THE ONLY song in the game. Honestly I'd be ok with that again. Worry about online servers and maybe LOBBIES.

Not really. Under Armour just became an official NBA sponsor (meaning they can use NBA players in ads) this past year to join Reebok, Nike, Converse, Jordan Brand, and Adidas. It was the Jordan Brand Player of the Game, etc. Adidas is the only one that gets specific accessories other than shoes.

Great 2k, you can have Jay-Z and Michael Jordan, but remember it's always the LITTLE THINGS that are the most important in a basketball game..

This better mean Barclays Center will be rendered perfectly.

It's obvious that his product (Music) will be in the game as an incentive for providing said money. I hate to speculate but... Maybe it's a new mode involving GMs and owners from how to "market™" a team to running your business from the ground up® Everybody should start to learn how to bend over, because 2k and Visual concepts will need as much space as possible, just so you they can shove an exuberant amount of DLC up your a$$. Here I am. The jaded old man that used to write down stats in a notebook...because the art of digital stat saving did not exist (1989). I'm tired of these year-to-year updates. I'd understand if NBA LIVE and 2K were operating systems but they are hardly a new innovative-doo-hickey that blows the minds of every little seven-year old around the world. So the dunks look like they are 5FPS smoother than the previous year. Do we all have to spend $60 every year for the same crap! (Rhetorical). Sorry to be this guy...I used to remember when playing an 82 game season was all I looked forward to. Maybe I over did it with the basketball video games. Maybe the learning curve is entirely too high for and old geezer like me? I've often wondered if my lack of skill, was the detrimental factor to my success, or lack thereof. Am I crazy to say that trying to play defense and trying to pass the ball is harder than Chinese algebra? Sincerely, Arthritis Thumbs

Ahh, now we're getting somewhere.

So the folks over at 2K Sports assume everybody who plays the NBA 2K basketball franchise listens to Jay-Z? What about the minority of folks that don't listen to Jay-Z? How will you cater to that group? I really don't mind listening to Jay-Z but from an marketing aspect you are taking the overall consensus popularity here by getting one of the best rappers out there. You will gain some supporters, you will lose some supporters. Hopefully for 2K the margin for addition is better than the subtraction.

It doesn't matter who listens to Jay Z and who doesn't. I'm still waiting for someone other than "the process" to realize whats going on here lol.

Hopefully this was made from an early build of the game because blake doesnt have his hair updated, durant look off, and for the love of god fix the jerseys already, im getting sea sick from all the waves their giving off. Movements look smoother but then again that can just be all the video magic applied.
