2K Sports Announces Jay-Z as NBA 2K13 Executive Producer, 24 Song Soundtrack Included

[made in eu]

The huge announcement was a huge disappointment because we were expecting completely different things.Ok,maybe this is our fault but the 2k guys should have prepared us somehow of where this was heading.
But there is also something else that bothers me: Having Michael Jordan announce Jay Z as the producer of a basketball game is like EA have Maradona announce Elton John(he is part owner of soccer clubs) as the producer of their soccer game (only difference is Elton John is more famous worldwide than Jay Z). It is kind of disrespectful to the values of the sport. If it was the other way around-"nba 2k13-executive producer Michael Jordan,announced by Jay Z"-it would sound much better and would make more sense.

At first 2k was like Yes! Then I was like NO!:

Then I wanted to do this:

Then after I did that 2K had me like:

Then 2k continued to mock me:

Then I wanted to:

But 2k knows I'm still going to buy their game so they were like:

Now I'm like:

I personally love it. But I'm a Jay-Z fan...

Wasn't aware that there was a "big announcement" coming so this came as a pretty sweet surprise to me. A lot of good tracks imo. I'm loving that "victory" is in this. Seems like a track list that people are either going to love or hate based on your preference for music.

I can understand why 2k hyped this announcement up since having jay-z, one of the biggest names in music over the past decade, produce the soundtrack for a videogame is pretty exciting and can attract more fans. Can't think of many games that have had a music producer this well known and popular in the world. Unfortunately for 2k their true fans don't want to hear that the "biggest announcement in 2k history" is about the soundtrack. Its a great addition to the game but to be honest most of us would still play and buy the game if it was a barney soundtrack...as long as the game and gameplay was top notch all around. When I think "biggest announcement in 2k history" I think of something like a new physics system or gameplay engine...not music. Hopefully this is just the beginning of a long list of great features for the game.

I highly doubt you have any clue what you're talking about... give us some proof instead of trying to get everybody's hopes up so you can just sit there and laugh you sick ****
