How important is the soundtrack to you in NBA 2k?

[psydefx]

not important at all - i mute 90% of the songs. add elevator music for all i care but give me fundamentally sound gameplay and responsive controls.

They should add more instrumentals...i always kick a freestyle while im in the menus

The point is to introduce music of variety to people who are unfamiliar, but will grow to like it. 2k11 & 2k12 were fine pieces of music if you ask me, and I would've never heard most of those songs without playing the game.

15 was quite atrocious. I think I could only handle listening to maybe 1 song lol

I thought 12 was.pretty solid. But 11 might be the best.

I'm kind of surprised there hasn't been anything coming from 2k in regards to who's doing the soundtrack or who's featured on it. Forget all this marketing crap 2k has been weird this year in regards to everything. The secrecy thing is getting old

I feel like NBA 2K11 and NBA 2K12 did a great job of this! Also, don't use a bunch of mainstream music from well-known artists (NBA 2K16). In NBA 2K11/2K12 there were a bunch of amazing songs from mostly smaller artist and some bigger artists. They also used to have songs made specially for the game! What ever happened to that? I feel like using songs that we don't hear everyday would keep the soundtrack fresh. When we hear the same songs that we hear on our everyday drive to work, they start to get stale. It's all about keeping it fresh!

This and so much this !!
