Ah, I see where you're coming from. I guess we'll just have to wait and see on that front. I think there's a lot of things that could be added to a basketball video game that may better reflect everything that happens at an NBA basketball game but again, there's a line. I suppose most of that would fall under the presentation umbrella and I'm all for improvements in presentation, as long as they're moves toward accurately representing the NBA basketball experience and not someone's interpretation of what they think NBA basketball should look like. I'd like to think 2K was sensical about their approach. We shall find out soon.

This isn’t about Jay-Z promoting himself or us promoting him. It’s about his involvement from a creative standpoint. You won’t be seeing him in the center of any of our ad campaigns or anything like that.
Interesting. Looking forward to seeing what Jay brings to the game outside of the soundtrack....the Brooklyn Nets logo is tight so this could turn out to be a great move

Fixing the broken passing, often terrible fastbreak logic and other glaring gameplay issues is far more important than incorporating a past his prime rapper that loves to rhyme about how much money he has. I know some of the younger guys around here love this news and are hype for Jay-Z "executive producing" (whatever the hell that means) 2k13 but I could care less. Fill us in on how you have improved your basketball game please. This information is nonsense.

Come to think of it, Argent still didn't really give a direct answer to that question (What does “Executive Produced by Jay-Z" really mean?). Though, I suppose a direct answer would have likely spoiled the information being planned for future release. As it stands, I'm hopeful it is realized that to many, throwing out such a title (Executive Produced by) has created more confusion and uncertainty than hype.

Glad jay-z is apart of the game but I'm also glad he's not THE game .

I thought the announcement was a return to another sport. I'm cool with it but I have to see. Maybe jay can convince them to make a Football game. That said: I'm still excited for NBA 2k 13
