Pharrell Williams to Curate NBA 2K15 Soundtrack - Official Cover Art Revealed

The dude with the goofy hat?

I am officially too old for this crap.

The covers are all starting to look the same. I like the city in the background but at least filter the color to represent Durants team colors.

I know I'm too old. I'm a classic rock guy. Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd etc. I realize that they have to go with what's popular with the younger crowd.

Should mean Universal Mind Control'll probalby be on there too. Not the Common song I'd hope for, but eh.

Should be interesting, all the same.

Man I love System. Hope some more metal/rock makes it.

Well they just said that Happy is not on the soundtrack on the stream

[NINJAK2]

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 relative

Jeesh 40 is not that old guys ..lol. Trust me the rumors about the grim reaper anxiously following you around
once you hit the big 4-0 is an urban legend..lol

on topic...Pharrell can arrange some great instrumentals so music should be solid

Cool.

Didn't see why it was a big deal anyway,

I wasn't trying to imply 40 is that old - I'm still older than he is. I was just surprised that he might be close to 40; I've always viewed him as relatively young(er). Either way I agree the music should be pretty good. I think he's an awesome choice; imo 2K's always done a good job of staying ahead of the curve in allowing the game to have a "hip" feel and not grow stale.

Not sure why Happy being included was such a big deal either. While it wouldn't be appropriate as game introduction music, as part of a bigger/diverse soundtrack it shouldn't have been an issue. I'd guess if NBA draft picks were allowed to pick their own walk up music (similar to NFL draft picks a few months ago), a few of them might've picked Happy too

Pharell is a great producer and like some of the comments I've read in this thread, this should bring the soundtrack game up a lot like it used to be. His music would be diverse as well with Hip Hop, Alternative, etc he's very well rounded in the music industry.

Ugh, my least favorite word in the music industry. It's like they just got lazy naming genres, so they were like, "It's just too much work. Just take all of this stuff and name it random, or how about Alternative?! Yeah, lets go with that."

[Ferweezy]

2K needs to step their cover art game up. I've seen custom covers wayyyy better then their super basic covers.

Re: Pharrell Williams to Curate NBA 2K15 Soundtrack - Official Cover Art Revealed

I answered your question and you wanted to say something similar to that? So you were looking for a moment to stick up for 2K? Bruh, I see your ways on this forum. Attack the Live game. Defend the 2K game. I'm really not that guy. I'm on my chill.

But switching lanes - the reason for Barkley being omitted was unclear. Back to my original thought - 2K can find a deal to get Grammy winning producers to pick songs for their soundtrack but can't find a way to come to agreement to put NBA legends in the game.

You do know there is a thing called negotiations, right?

Edit: And I don't mind Pharrell being in the game - I'm a hip hop fan so its a win for me - except if they add 'Happy' ... seriously ....

LMAO. Yes because there isn't documented proof on this site of me calling out 2K when it's warranted. Keep the other game out of here because it has nothing to do with anything. Your answer sucked because it omitted the fact that the only legends that anybody cares about not being in the game are Barkley and Reggie who don't want to be in the game. Furthermore you don't even know how much Pharrell is getting paid and what that price is in relation to what some random legend may be asking for his likeness to appear in the game. For all you know, it costs more for a legend's likeness as opposed to Pharrell slapping a couple songs on a piece of paper for them to go get.

But whatever bruh, I've spent too much time on this already.

They should get some region specific covers going. They did it with nhl 2k and the show doesn't know. They should get demar Derozan on the cover for Canada, gasol/Rubio for Spain etc.

I am done with this franchise, for the two years in a row the soundtrack consisted of nothing but recent pop hits and commercialized BS, but hopefully Pharrell doesn't repeat history. They keep spending probably a majority of their resources on getting some big pop image and slapping it on the cover to sell more copies so that they can get their greedy, grubby hands on more money. You'd think that they'd be fine with the earnings they're making on the sales of the game itself, but no, they are selfish enough to ask you to buy a $60 shell of game with the game play being sub-par, but if you use a decent slider set and rosters other than 2K's it makes the gameplay okay but to enjoy the full experience of their cheesy as hell, boring, and repetitive MyCareer, MyGM which takes away the control of association so you can manage a team from the point of the GM by managing the finances, but couldn't you do a majority of this in association already, and lastly probably the "best" game mode which in no regards resonates fun is MyTeam which features ridiculous prices for player packs and relies on the 2K servers which I think speak for themselves if you even try to play the game online. But to play all these, you must and I mean you have to buy VC. And if you think you can play the game and want to be rewarded and to earn it. Oh no you're sadly mistaken it takes probably a month of game play to earn maybe 120,000 (just an estimate after it took me all day to earn 4,000 of these BS credits) which sadly you can't unlock everything at this rate so it forces you to buy VC and you're going to have to buy a lot to have fun. I understand that they're a company and have to make money, but this is just ridiculous, and definitely not consumer friendly.
