Damn, 2K not even trying to give Live a chance from a marketing stand point. KD, D.Rose, Blake Griff, and now Jay-Z? I almost feel sorry for EA and Live.

PR_FROM_OHIO4297d ago

Jay-Z?? So i guess the the only big difference from this years version of 2k13 will be the music and not the graphics or gameplay not shocked though seeing that there's no real competition for 2K!!! BC i swear its been the same game from 2k11 SMH

Tonester9254297d ago

I wonder if the Brooklyn Nets are going to be a good team on the game lol

310dodo4297d ago

how can some...rapper
executive produce a game?

*sigh*

Mainsqueeze4297d ago

Because he has a shit load of money.

KidCuDiWINS4297d ago

I don't get it. Lots of people produce games, so why is Jay Z any different from them? I love his music, but it's unfair to others.

Skate-AK4297d ago

Cause music producing and game producing are vastly different. I personally don't like him cause of things I have heard him say in interviews.

Off Topic: Kid Cudi is awesome.

Outside_ofthe_Box4297d ago

It's for marketing purposes. Jay-Z has fame and fans. It's kind of like how in movie commercials that say "from the producers of ____ movie." The uninformed will automatically go see the movie that was in the commercial just because the producers of their favorite movie is producing this one. They don't realize that it's the director that matters.

No, don't stop. We need competition beetween sports franchises in gaming. Push on and don't stop or the 'winner' will become lazy

PapaBop2059d ago

EA and competition in sports games don't belong in the same sentence. They've had healthy competition in many different sports genres and the ones they could, they monopolised the licenses to effectively kill the competition. Poor Konami in PES were feeding off of scraps with their CL license.. EA went and bought that too. With them, there is no such thing as healthy competition.

I don't know about that, Nba live was the basketball game to get until Nba live 07 came out.

CraigGOA2059d ago

If you look at Metacritic NBA2K games have constantly outdone NBA Live. And a lot forget how much of a jump the original NBA2K was as it was only on the Sega Dreamcast which many gamers ignored due to pure ignorance and lack of knowledge on just how great that console was.

Minute Man 7212059d ago (Edited 2059d ago )

The last good ones were Live 04 n 05 for ps2 era n Live 06 last gen

Einhander19712059d ago

Dear EA just stop making games full stop.

XiNatsuDragnel2059d ago

EA stop making any games by that note.

The man who sold the world from MGS V? If any song is to be remembered from that game it's Here's to you by Joan Baez/Ennio Morricone. That scene gave me goosebumps.

Stupid article. Music in games should be recognized for their impact like the crossing into Mexico in RDR. Not just tunes on the disc

Top 10 Basketball Video Games

Basketball is a sport that any child in America has played at one point or another. It was one of the key sports in gym classes across the country, and only continues to grow because it’s accessibility.

All you need is a ball and a basket.

If you’re like me, however, you’ll soon realize that you aren’t that great at basketball.

Despite this, you try and emulate Michael Jordan with the tongue hanging out, or, for kids today, doing three goggles after hitting a bucket. Still, at the end of the day, we may not have a future in the NBA.

But that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the game we love.

I would add a couple personal favorites from LONG ago. NBA In The Zone...cuz you could play a MJ (though they changed his number and name...which you could change back...it was STILL MJ...and it was before NBA Live 2000). Double Dribble...cuz you could finally see dunks! NBA ShootOut...cuz they finally added a bit of skill to shooting. Oh...and Magic Johnson vs. Larry Bird One On One...cuz it's the first one I ever played.
