Hahaha. Thx for posting that Andrew. Highlight of my morning. It's safe to say that audio can simply have a full blown overhaul. licensed music, arena music, sound effects, arena sounds, and sync/timing issues among other things. It's like the audio department doesn't get any love and are probably understaffed. Underwhelming audio outing for 2k17. If they have all of those unique arena sound files recorded/processed & treated then they really need to revisit and rework these audio files. If they aren't in the game then I hope they utilize them for 18.

Dear audio department: Please don't just use a generic preset and apply that to your arena sounds. Either same arena files are shared between all teams or you used the same reverb for everything. Use arena size/capacity and decibel metrics to change the audible size of the reverb for arena. Decibel metrics to create a scale for loudest and quietest arenas league wide. You can amplify the crowd sounds based off that scale and each arena has a subtle, yet different cieling. Static audio is poo. Something along these lines lets you use static audio files in a way that creates the audible perception of dynamic changes with the human ear. Shame their cycles are so small.

As far as letting kids have their music, the jukebox offers "playlists."My gripe with that is that it's not really a playlist when each "curator" is selecting the same palette of tunes. It's like 2k opens up a box and each guest curator comes in and picks from the batch of tunes that were submitted for licensing. I dunno. Music and sounds hasn't been any sports games strong suit since they switched it up as a way to get some bucks from licensing. Audio tech for games is getting there but it costs devs more money than they are willing to spend to really get a super proper sound outing that would make anyone appreciate the polish.

I hope that the selections for the soundtrack in NBA 2K18 don't prevent audio from being recorded alongside video on PS4 (and I'm guessing X1 as well), as seems to have been the case in NBA 2K17. Granted, that's not an issue if you use a capture card (and I do have one), and not an issue at all on PC (where I can use Bandicam), but it's still an inconvenience.

It hasn't been revealed yet. It's more a hypothetical/Wishlist-oriented thread, asking what you'd prefer the soundtrack to be like.

Yeah, not yet.

But I have a feeling that the direction will be similar, of course.. but I can dream, can't I?

In-built customisation/Spotify integration would be nice, if nothing else. It'd be cool if the PC version had a folder for dumping mp3 files into, like GTA.

Naughty by Nature - Hip Hop Hooray
Run DMC - Don't Stop

Some Jay-Z beats (see NBA 2K13)

Actually the song should be based on hip-hop, it's the main genre of basketball I guess

Some Wu-Tang tracks maybe?

Symphonies (Remix) was epic back in 2K11. I remember listening in awe as I played the game. Wish they'd have something like that this year.

Probably one of my favourite tracks from 2K11, agreed.

2K11 was the greatest basketball game I ever played. It also has a beautiful soundtrack that I still listen to from Spotify.

A next-gen version of NBA 2K11 with current rosters and fixed bugs would be appreciated by gaming universe, though.

I'm actually a fan of Santigold, but I do agree that Creator is overused at this point. And it's not even close to being her best song.

Songs I'd like

Token Santigold song: Say Aha
Token Drake song: One Dance
Token Jay-Z song: DOA (Death of Auto-tune)
Token old rock song: Pearl Jam - Even Flow (why not?)
Left-field song I like: St Vincent - Digital Witness

What, no Santigold? :lol:
I was expecting more Kendrick Lamar songs, but at least we got Humble.

And honestly... it's almost like they were looking at this thread (Not saying they were). But we were talking about how we would like a mixture, and some classic rock, and boom. I'm actually excited about this soundtrack.
