Re: Pharrell Williams to Curate NBA 2K15 Soundtrack - Official Cover Art Revealed
Oh I know I could do that, I did that with blur lines as soon as I got 2k, limited 2k14 short play list even more, if it is on the game at least have a good amount of songs on the playlist.Originally posted by Gilley#FreeMikeGSW

You obviously don't know Pharrell's track record, let me give you a youtube assignment, view anything from the CLIPSE (Grindin)and Superthug from NORE. Then report back to me. I don't think the entire soundtrack will be like that but let's not act like Pharrell can bring heat, stop it."I've Altered The Deal..."Comment

Happy about Pharell making the soundtrack and the fact that it will be the largest soundtrack to date but if "Happy" is a song in 2k I WILL stab myself in the ears with the 2k15 disc. I can't listen to that song anymoreFrom the challenges of constructing a roster and managing a professional sports team, to competing to be one of the best players in the world, your sports dreams are possible at www.SimSportsWorld.comComment

Ah, this thread will be entertaining - it's early and hasn't disappointed so far
Personally I like the music choice; Pharrel's one of the more talented and respected young artists/producers out there. He's produced for quite a few artists across genres so I think the soundtrack will be pretty diverse.
The cover shot of Durant I'm okay with, but thought they could've used a better action shot - or perhaps something showing more emotion (this means they've removed player emotion from the game!!! /sarcasm). Not a big deal either way
As far as people dissing the soundtrack ALREADY - it's expected. 2K had Kurtis Blow's old school "Basketball" for 2K12 and there were people around here hating on that. Not much 2K can do to appease some people at this pointLast edited by spankdatazz22; 07-15-2014, 09:12 AM.HBO's "The Wire" should rank as one of the top 10 shows EVER on tv - period

Come on man, you know pharrell will have no music like that on the soundtrack. They will be stupid pop music to reach a more global crowd instead of the hardcore fan, nba live soundtrack is great.You obviously don't know Pharrell's track record, let me give you a youtube assignment, view anything from the CLIPSE (Grindin)and Superthug from NORE.

Just like NBA 2k13 was pop?
I can almost guarantee that Grindin' in some capacity will be included. Whether it be the song or the instrumental.Cubs | Bulls | Dolphins | 'Noles

Really!? Wow, didn't know. I didn't think he was in his mid-20's but didn't think he was 40 either. Oh well, he looks young - and young can be relativeHBO's "The Wire" should rank as one of the top 10 shows EVER on tv - period

Charles Barkley
Reggie Miller
Grant Hill
TMac
Yao Ming
Others who weren't great but I'd like to see:
Theo Ratliff, Toni Kukoc (as a Sixer fan I'd like to see these guys added to the 01 Sixers)
Stephon Marbury
Steve Francis
Just off the top. You could bring in those 90s Pacers' teams, 90s Suns' teams, and those mid 2000 Rocket teams - teams guys would play with before the Euro teaams.#WashedGamerComment

Re: Pharrell Williams to Curate NBA 2K15 Soundtrack - Official Cover Art Revealed
This actually sounds relatively promising. I understand it's a press release and its goal is to appeal to all, but I admit I did like the sound of "most extensive and musically diverse". I have been pulling for 2K to at least somewhat drift back to the musical diversity their franchise showcased throughout most of their history.
2K13's 90% pop rap rundown was a soundtrack low point for me. I like popular rap, but not exclusively on my soundtrack, particularly when I'd already heard and worn out most of the tracks included. It was sort of the same issue with Kurtis Blow's "Basketball" in 2K12. It was a really cool concept and fun to hear initially but having to hear "We're playin' bassssssssketbawwwwwwl" by force every time we revved up the game became a little grating.
It'd be nice to see some small additions to classic teams - perhaps some newer clubs that wouldn't necessitate a ton of payments because some of the players would still be active.
But yeah, I feel like 2K's apparent ability to do things like get Pharrell to curate a soundtrack they could have selected themselves (I feel 2K did a better job than Jay-Z at making a game soundtrack) as well as adding more and more Euro teams (who I assumed receive royalties) should probably come close to squashing the ol' "2K can't add any more classic teams because money" line of reasoning.
That said, I'm always happy and glad when I see the classic teams we do have still remain. Hopefully gamers will be able to edit rosters again next year so squads will not be forced to be filled out with the likes of generic Will Jones and David Williams.
As I mentioned earlier, I believe the presser's numerous references to musical diversity could be a good thing. For starters, System of a Down is pretty far removed from hip-hop, so their mention could be a solid sign. I do not know Pharrell super well, but from what I've known of his history, he's got solid musical roots - not just from a pop perspective.
If the tracks are truly diverse and feature a mix of a little bit of everything, I will be pleased. Though, I still believe 2K could have probably just selected a great soundtrack themselves. I'm supposing this is a means of drawing attention to their product with a big name (like Jay-Z in 2K13). It seems their funds now allow for things like this. If the soundtrack ends up being legit, more power to them.Comment

I guess it might help sell more games? Don't most people play their own music at this point?
Curious thing about the cover, why would NBA2k15 and WWE2k15 not follow the same art direction? It's from the same publisher and the same sports division.Comment
