because you guys sound ridiculous bitching about not getting some sort of gameplay announcement.

Almost as ridiculous as saying this was the biggest announcement in 2k history, and then revealing it to be a soundtrack? :wink:

This news is pretty lukewarm to me, the soundtrack announcement is ok I guess I'll more than likely be muting the music after I play the game a few times anyway. Jay-Z being the Executive Producer of 2K....yeah ok I guess. This helps 2K gain more interest with there game, so it's Huge news for them...but I still think the return of M.J. was much bigger news than this personally but it's whatever.

Agree 100% with what you said. I add my own music anyway, so this announcement is far from groundbreaking on the surface! You and others are right...signing MJ was bigger news for 2K. You could probably even argue President Obama being in it as #2.

I was not expecting much and my expectations were met. I've been around too long to get hyped over 2k's announcements. I guess they didn't lie because for 2k, this is BIG news. Having someone with the reach and visibility of Jay Z working alongside you and pimping your product along with THE GOAT (MJ) is really unbelievable from a marketing standpoint. 2k is really deeply engraved in our pop culture to the same levels of Madden imo coming a long way from it's 1st appearance on the Dreamcast.

I don't know what Jay knows about producing hoop games but he aint bad at music. Jury is still out whether it pays off in the product but it will in marketing...

Smh that's all I have to say to that.

you can shake your head all you want but it's true. If you think video games are concerned about trying to hook in hardcore gamers then you are clueless. The reason they are called hardcore gamers is because they buy the game year after year and basically will buy the game no matter what. Casual gamers are people who don't do that but will buy the game if something they see interests them.

I'm just disappointed Jay couldn't get any 'Pac or Big Daddy Kane on the soundtrack. And where is the love for Jaz-O at? No Hawaiian Sophie, Jay?

All kidding aside, this is a dope soundtrack and definitely one that will be enjoyed by me.

There's so much mad in this thread lol



I don't know about some of you guys but I'm ready for some vids and the dev info. Just as long they don't mention anything about updating player art this year it should be some good reading material.

No, that is one point that I actually disagree on. They need to explain that situation from last year, especially when it was a main "back of the box" feature in 2K12. I'd like to see that addressed, recitified and included in 2K13. That way I'm not stuck with a crappy looking CP3 and dread-headed Michael Beasley for 12 months.

Sorry for going off topic..................

[chackett12]

imagine the connections jay-z has... he can do the same thing jordan did for 2k. recruit more people to create a better overall game. Jay-Z & Michael Jordan have power to do things that 2k couldnt do before bringing them on the ship.

Glad this "big" announcement got over with. Now, let us have some gameplay stuff. Thanks. Bye.

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

Again, I will clarify it's more than simply a soundtrack. We'll be detailing more in the future.

With all due respect sir, what's the point of making an announcement you've been hyping for over a month like the mother of all the 2k sports related news, then disclosing only the surface which means nothing for most of us? Bring us those details right away, and they better be really BIG, otherwise people will lose trust in you 2k.

Yeah I'm not going to hold my breath for that one...lol

If they were to do it I'd rather them not mention it at all and just let the updates happen and let US see it for ourselves. I have always enjoyed coming into the forums and see a thread saying "Was this player always skinny, I could've sworn he had a different body type"

I want a similar thread like that pop only saying something like "did this guy have tats before" or "hey they added a beard to this player"

It's a nice surprise kind of thing where you're prompted to get off the comp to check it out yourself.

I think we will be hearing Gameplay Info sooner then you all think. The 2K Team-Up peeps are going to California soon, and they will surely share with us all of the gameplay info we need to know. 2K may prefer to have marketing release the info themselves so that it will be flashier, so I expect some nuggets of gameplay info within the next week or two.

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

Wait a sec. 2k says the biggest announcement in 2k history. Which means bigger than having the greatest player ever represemting the game. How is jay-z selecting a tracklist bigger than that?

Someone please anwser.

Then a mod makes a thread basiclly asking posters to guess the news. Then you blame posters for guessing that the "the biggest announcement in 2k history" would actually be the biggest announcent in 2k history. You guys do know this is a sports game right?

After that how can you not be dissappointed?

2k messed up. Smh at defending that.
