With all due respect sir, what's the point of making an announcement you've been hyping for over a month like the mother of all the 2k sports related news, then disclosing only the surface which means nothing for most of us? Bring us those details right away, and they better be really BIG, otherwise people will lose trust in you 2k.

Sorry for going off topic..................

Yeah I'm not going to hold my breath for that one...lol

If they were to do it I'd rather them not mention it at all and just let the updates happen and let US see it for ourselves. I have always enjoyed coming into the forums and see a thread saying "Was this player always skinny, I could've sworn he had a different body type"

I want a similar thread like that pop only saying something like "did this guy have tats before" or "hey they added a beard to this player"

It's a nice surprise kind of thing where you're prompted to get off the comp to check it out yourself.

I think we will be hearing Gameplay Info sooner then you all think. The 2K Team-Up peeps are going to California soon, and they will surely share with us all of the gameplay info we need to know. 2K may prefer to have marketing release the info themselves so that it will be flashier, so I expect some nuggets of gameplay info within the next week or two.

Wait a sec. 2k says the biggest announcement in 2k history. Which means bigger than having the greatest player ever represemting the game. How is jay-z selecting a tracklist bigger than that?

Someone please anwser.

Then a mod makes a thread basiclly asking posters to guess the news. Then you blame posters for guessing that the "the biggest announcement in 2k history" would actually be the biggest announcent in 2k history. You guys do know this is a sports game right?

After that how can you not be dissappointed?

2k messed up. Smh at defending that.

Im expecting the insights to start being released by the week of the 13th of August(with the small chance next week). I like how they dont release the info too early. Mainly because there isnt big gaps between info being released like Madden does.


I am not disappointed because I wasnt expecting something monumental. I wasnt expecting a NFL/College football game because the license isnt up yet. Wasnt expecting CHOOPs because I dont think there is a big market for College BBall. I dont care for Legends/Dream Team or Olympics modes It is too early(in 2k terms)to release any gameplay/mode info.

I am good with it because as the first real info on the game being released it is good. I like that this wasnt just for his name to be on the game/marketing and soundtrack. From reading the ESPN article, Jay Z wants/ed to be involved in the game other than just soundtrack. I didnt know he was a gamer like that.

Folks I was let down by this big announcement as well but I really think there is SOMETHING MORE to this announcement, if you read between the lines you will notice that Jay-Z will have an big impact to NBA 2K13 whether it be from an marketing aspect or a game play aspect. The cows haven't left the barn yet.

From reading the insight last year, I was expecting them to update players(looks) since they said that try to make players look who they currently are.

That is why I like PC, though.

A little shocked this would be considered the big announcement 2K has been advertising. However, this does look to be a very nice soundtrack.
