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

[kjjnesb]

This soundtrack is great though better mix of genres than I thought just feels a little light. 2K12 had 28 to 2k13s 19..

It's all your guys fault for being disappointed... come on, inside we knew this would be the result.

Ah the full listing sweet this looks awesome.

I'm pretty sure this was the announcement. Jordan in the recording studio points to him recording the teaser.

So, um...yay? I think this will be good for the overall presentation and "NBA BIG" theme for NBA 2k13.

Let's at least focus on gameplay now, though.

Well, you would think a companys biggest announcement in NBA 2K history would involve the gameplay or game modes. On the other hand that is one amazing soundtrack.

This, as you can read from the article, is much more than a soundtrack. Skeptics will quickly see how innovative the integration is.

Also, from the ESPN article.

Quote:

“This is obviously a big, big announcement for 2K Sports, but this is just the first announcement for ‘NBA 2K13.’ Everything from the feature set to the gameplay has taken another giant, incredible leap forward.”

We're eager to share all the improvements in the near future. I think you guys will be quite pleased. Dev's have been all over the gameplay; and as we learned from the E3 Kotaku article, their work on 2K13 began the next day after 2K12 released.

Yes, one would think but it's 2K... we go through these motions every year.
