      Come on 2K! Give us some gameplay or presentation or SOMETHING! You have songs on your game, we get it. This is like the third update on the soundtrack portion of the game.

      2K usually doesn't put out much gameplay until around GamesCom (early August), but I'm surprised they haven't even put out a single screenshot yet. They usually have done that by now.


      I'd expect that first week of August to be busy with NBA 2K and Live info from Germany (GamesCom).

      My guess is that they are hoping to bury some of the enthusiasm around Live. Once Live announces some feature(s) at GamesCom, I expect 2K to start laying it on with news & videos of the MyCareer featuring a Spike Lee Joint. They know the Spike Lee stuff is going to get coverage at media outlets, not just gaming/sports sites.


      Between Madden & now NBA 2K, I hope Live just announces the songs on the soundtrack at some point; not with a 'our soundtrack is going to be awesome - we'll just tell you about it later' tease/press release.
