2k

2K is back in full form as the new trailer for NBA 2K15 releases showing new players on new teams (Most noticeably, LeBron James). Too bad Andrew Wiggins can’t even enjoy being on the same team with LeBron in a video game. The inclusion of Shaq and Ernie should present more realism to the game. The game play looks fantastic but I have few concerns.

  • Why was Damien Lillard wearing a headband?
  • Lance Stephenson is not doing a windmill in a half court setting
  • Why did 2K make Napier get dunked on by LeBron?

Besides those minor gripes, NBA 2K15 is sure to be an enjoyment to everyone who loves sports gaming.

YAKKEM!

 

NBA 2K15 is gearing up for their fall release by unleashing their cover with MVP Kevin Durant. Not only will KD be on the cover, 2K hired Pharrell Williams to produce the soundtrack which has become a staple in the 2K series for the past 3 years. The game is set to be released October 7th on Playstation 3 and 4, XBox One, and XBox 360.

From the press release:

2K today announced a new collaboration with internationally-renowned artist and producer Pharrell Williams to curate the most extensive and unique soundtrack compilation in NBA 2K franchise history for NBA® 2K15, the next installment of the top-selling and top-rated NBA video game simulation franchise*. The partnership brings together one of music’s most creative minds with one of the most successful entertainment properties of the last decade.

“It was a cool experience. I tried to curate songs that were diverse but yet still proved to be motivational to gamers,” said Pharrell. “It was important to me that the music complemented the on-court action of NBA basketball in NBA 2K15. I hope everyone enjoys it.”

A renowned visionary across music, fashion, and design, Pharrell has served as a pop-culture force since his days as a founding member of N.E.R.D and the Neptunes to his latest venture with multi-media creative collective i am OTHER. His work includes producing tracks for some of the biggest albums of the decade, such as Kendrick Lamar’s “Good Kid, M.A.A.D City” and Frank Ocean’s “Channel Orange,” as well as hit singles “Happy,” “Blurred Lines” with Robin Thicke and “Get Lucky” with Daft Punk.

“Pharrell’s passion and reputation as a visionary producer and expertise from working with the NBA will be evident in the largest and most eclectic NBA 2K soundtrack ever,” said Alfie Brody, Vice President of Marketing for 2K. “We really listened to our fans’ feedback on how we could improve their experience from a music standpoint, and we’re confident Pharrell’s collaboration in NBA 2K15 will impress players as much as it’s impressed us.”
