I agree even though the passing doesn't seem improved at all.

Dude, I'm not here to insult you or anything...you're right on one aspect, Jay-Z did not have to give 2k any money so he could be in the game. In fact, if he wanted to be in the game, for the use of his likeness, 2k would have to pay him.

NOW! Here me out. The title "Executive Producer" (Read carefully), means that he gave money to 2k so that his input would be an integral part of NBA 2k13. That is what an executive producer does, that's how Spielberg makes his money nowadays.

What type of input will Jay-Z be giving? Have a look at his portfolio, his business partners, his friends, his friend's business ventures. A few or all of these things will be appearing in the game. The man is not a rapper, he's a business mogul. When Jay-Z raps about being in the club with his "ho's" and "bottles of piss water", do you actually believe that he is that man he rhymes about?

We are talking about a man who made an attempt at profiting from the Recent 99% Wall Street protests. Sorry to inform you but Jay-Z is a gangster...just not the one you're thinking off.

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.

Anyone that doesn't buy the game because they don't like Jay Z probably needs their head checked or isn't a serious gamer anyways.
