this year's cover athletes, along with new modes and enhanced gameplay, NBA
2K12 reinforces the franchise's commitment to quality by
combining the best of simulation basketball with an unforgettable sports
game soundtrack.
"Music has always been an integral part of our NBA 2K video
games, as it further immerses players into the world of basketball and
enhances their gaming experience," said Jason Argent, vice president of
marketing for 2K Sports. "It was important to us that the NBA 2K12 soundtrack
was not only what you hear while navigating the menus, but also in

TV."
