BRMC is actually one of my favorite bands and I have seen them live but their music doesn't suit this game. The NBA, the players and most of the fans go hand in hand with the rap and hip hop culture. Not with blues rock and new wave.

As always, I feel musical tastes are always a matter of opinion. As such, I am thankful that the majority does not rule in an all-or-virtually-nothing fashion with the 2K soundtrack. There are many, many, many 2K gamers who do not care for rap and hip-hop. There's also many more who thoroughly enjoy rap & hip-hop, but only certain styles (i.e. old school, current, pop, underground, etc.). With such a wide possible variance, I think it's a good idea to provide options from a soundtrack perspective. I often do not prefer pop-rap for my basketball video gaming experience (or my real life basketball experience, for that matter).

I'd say most of my soundtrack listening occurs while in menus and editing rosters so in that case, I'm just looking for something that listenable and fresh. At least this way, users have the option of customizing their soundtrack to fit their needs and preferences.

There's always a head scratcher on these soundtracks and for me it's Drop It Like It's Hot. I think it's more baffling by the fact that you have an entire catalog of Snoop songs that could easily be awesome to bump to while playing 2K and that's the one chosen?

I know obviously not all of them are family friendly but you can edit them like ones in the past. Not bad overall though.

I think " team " by Lorde is the biggest head scratcher of this soundtrack

Well " amazing " is a better song than " team " so i would rather have " amazing " for the third time than " team "
