Yeah.
Jay Z didnt just want his name slapped on the box. It sounds like he really wanted to help with this game. I dont think they thought Jay Z would do much outside of Soundtrack and resources. I didnt know he was a "huge gamer". He doesnt seem like he has the free time to be a huge gamer.

Like others(and I) said before it is a wait and see thing.

More like "biggest disappointing hyped up announcement in 2k history". I can't wait untill Sept when we hear and see more about the meat & potatoes of the game. Regarding the gameplay & game mode improvements, which are the most important things.

You touched on it... resources. Bringing resources and notoriety to the brand is what has 2K hyped. I don't think it's bigger than integrating the greatest basketball player of all time, but Jay-Z is bigger than Michael Jordan to a lot of people. His name could help finance the development of the game. We only see it so far in the rights to popular tracks, but who's to say he can't also leverage greater technology, or official TV network graphics and integration?

There is a lot more to this than a soundtrack, I feel.

Yea. He can help finance the game. He can help with the sounds of the game.
