If you prefer your players to wear generic K-Mart sneakers, that's on you, but don't bash the people who appreciate sneakers here.

Don't waste your time pal! they know our reasons perfectly. Indeed the listened to them hundreds of times...

They just love to f*** around!

From some random guy going, "Hey look at this" really kills the surprise. Just my take.

And a very good one, sir. This is definitely a bummer for all of the developers and folks who put in the man hours to give us this kind of feature. The Insights are more than just an opportunity for us fans to get awesome little nuggets of info, they give those people who usually go unsung a chance to step up and get a little shine for all of their hard work. A leak like this obviously takes a lot of wind out of those sails.

Looking around, and seeing the number of fans who have been annoyed with the amount of info that's been released, I can't help but wonder... if I'm one of those developers, how frustrated am I with 2k's PR team right now? It's their job to protect against leaks and to pacify the fan base with information and whatnot.

It's tough. On one hand, I have sympathy for those who did their job, and did it really well, who wanted this feature to be a real "Holy crap!" moment for the fans. On the other, I recognize the fact that 9 out of 10 kids will look at their Christmas presents early if you give them the chance.









For whatever it's worth, I love what they're doing with the shoes in 2k12. Glorious stuff guys.

they better have more colors then they did last year...cuz every time I tried making shoes that were team colored I couldn't get da exact color at all

The shoe gods have finally given 2K the treatment! 2 bad they don't look as good in the game. The level of detail still isn't there yet
