I think that's only for Arena Music, listening in game like just going thru menus, not possible I think, but if that is possible, I'm buying a 250 GB hard drive and putting a lot of classic rock songs, NBA on NBC, Snoop Doggs NBA 2K11 theme, most likely the NBA 2K11/parts of 2K12 soundtrack and probably add Rick Astley and make that track last an hour probably a good balance between Rock-Pop-Hip Hop.

This is why OS needs to bring back the Cell. You don't get banned, so you do have something to lose.


Back on topic...

Bu bu bu but... what a disgusting set list is that? Full of jayz and kn??? Soon you will see 2k adding justin beeber, lady gaga and winehouse to the 2k14's set list. Somebody make it stop plz.
 
# 466 HadlerT @ 08/04/12 08:33 AM
I love Jay-Z and I think this isn't as big as they hyped it up to be, but at least the soundtrack will be better. These are all great songs.
 
# 467 sooperb @ 08/04/12 10:06 AM
There are some good songs in this soundtrack though. That being said, why is it every post I have made in the last 2 days involving this news or what 2k may be doing with the soundtrack has been deleted? As a matter of fact every post I have ever made has been deleted. Why?

Yours,
The Bad Guy

Please tell me you're being sarcastic.

Question: when did Jay-Z join the team as Executive Producer? How early did he start working with you all on the game, and what general areas is he working on? These should be pretty transparent things to discuss.

Im extremely late to the party due to not having the internet for the last few weeks.

But anyway I come back and find out THIS is the BIG announcement.
 
# 471 Plush oNe @ 08/04/12 04:53 PM
"Big Announcement"? LOL.. I literally only listen to 30 seconds of whatever the menu music is, because that's how long it takes me to get from the start menu to the game mode I'm trying to play. This was a waste of hype.

Again, it's not just the menu music. It's going to be presentation and probably other resources that we're not aware of yet.

If you were a scrappy start-up company and just signed one of the biggest names in entertainment to promote your brand, wouldn't you consider it big news?

Pretty sure Jay Z has something to do with MyPlayer -- might be the reason they invited so many?

3 of the 4 do my MP alot. Im not sure if Jay-Z plays/played MP. Heck, I dont know if he has time to do an association.

But, I hope MP doesnt get changed. Besides draft glitch/Teammate A.I, its a pretty solid mode. It wouldnt want an "creativity/creative ideas" that would screw up the mode. Just Depth and glich fixes are needed

So much rap and Jay Z, then they throw in Coldplay, lol, classic.

I'm happy with the news.....can't wait for more

Go on YouTube and search up all the songs, then add then to your 'watch it later.'
