NBA 2k15 Soundtrack Wishlist

Re: NBA 2k15 Soundtrack Wishlist

I've always wanted to see just more old school or 90s hip hop in the game. That's always gets me in the mood for bball. I love the black keys but listening to elevator while playing basketball doesn't exactly seem to fit.
And please, no more summer hits. I hear enough of blurred lines and radioactive already.

Please 2K fix the soundtrack for next year. They made the soundtrack to "pop" and not actual basketball oriented music. Basketball to me is hip-hop and rap, when I play the show I don't hear rap/hip-hop, make the music pertain to the sport. I cannot stand blurred lines or radioactive anymore. NBA Live selection for their game is perfect, 2k take note.

Re: NBA 2k15 Soundtrack Wishlist

I'm also in heavy favor of returning to 2K's soundtrack roots, which was to include fresh music mostly from underground or independent artists. It's not that I'm a hipster or anything, I've just found that's the best way for a video game to keep their music fresh (while introducing me to new artists).

Unfortunately, as much as I loved "Shook Ones pt. II" and appreciated Kurtis Blow for instance, both of those tracks drove me insane when included in 2K, just because they'd already been overplayed, beginning nearly 20 years ago or more. Also, as others said, including current big pop hits is also rough, because those are being overplayed everywhere else as we speak, and that becomes awfully grating as well.

Lastly, is it more expensive to acquire the rights of big time pop stars (Jay-Z, U2) than to bring on lesser knowns (Illinois, Friendly Fires, MF Doom)? If that be the case, it'd be nice if that's the first place folks looked to cut costs as opposed to always going for the classic teams jugular (the old refrain of "classic player rights cost too much money - though we don't know how much - so they should be removed.")

I loved falling in love with a song from someone I've never heard of. It was like tradition for my friends and I.

I don't think it was a bad look but 2k just trumped it wrong but once again they were banking on a gimmick, I use nba live as an example, I've never most of the songs on they soundtrack but it feels right and very basketball oriented. I wish they had the ability to let us customize our own game soundtrack then they wouldn't have to use their own.

Re: NBA 2k15 Soundtrack Wishlist

Yeah the Jay-Z thing was a good thought, but poorly executed. Wow that sounds pretty similar to most the stuff I say about 2k.

On the real though, NBA Live 07 soundtrack. Best soundtrack ever.

Re: NBA 2k15 Soundtrack Wishlist

They had to know beforehand that a big part of the soundtrack would be him and Kanye. That's what killed it for me, too much of them. They probably just let him choose to get his name on the cover.
And NBA Live 07 was the ****. That's the last Live game I played and the thing I remember most was the soundtrack lol

Same here that's why I suggested it. The only reason I actually miss that game is cause it had a perfect soundtrack.

Re: NBA 2k15 Soundtrack Wishlist

I'm pretty open about music, but I think as a basketball game it needs to stick to rap.

I like the old soundtracks better cuz they had more hype songs...like give me some Lil John and some old crunk music or something that makes me wanna bust someone for real lol.

Re: NBA 2k15 Soundtrack Wishlist

Nba 2k10 & NBA 2K11 Soundtrack standout as the best among the series as of recent memory. A few hits here and therein between 2k6-2k9 but as a whole I feel like I enjoyed the game alot more when there was less pop music and more underground artists that I'd never heard before, getting some shine on the 2k soundtracks

I've ran across this song on YouTube. For some reason, it seems like a type of song that would be on 2K that you've never heard that you'd download after hearing it a few times. Also has like that "reggae" type vibe I guess.
