Today, I am going to talk about the lighter, more low pressure side of sports. The 2k franchise has been making high level sports video games for a long time, and they are often the best on the market. However, recently a very important part of any game has come into question, the soundtrack. When Nba2k13 came out, it was announced that musician Jay-Z had worked on the game, and the soundtrack. Coincidentally, that soundtrack included no less than 6 Jay-Z songs. 2k changed it up in 2014, letting NBA All-Star and cover athlete LeBron James choose the soundtrack. It was a good mix of modern and classic music, which had a great flow and worked perfect in a basketball game. Good job, LeBron. So, the 2015 soundtrack should have been chosen by cover athlete Kevin Durant, right? Well, I guess 2k didn't think so. Musician Pharrell Williams chose the most recent soundtrack, and I have to say it is a serious step down from last year. Also, in a second coincidence, the soundtrack included 5 songs that were either by Pharrell or featuring Pharrell. So, 2k, if you are reading this, go back to the days when athletes chose the music that played behind their picture. Or, hold a contest, like in 2012.
