[scatman]

Sneakerheads rejoice...I made some really really dope combos last year. Looking forward to seeing how crazy I can get now.

My understanding is that primary and secondary team colors are selectable for each layer.

I see a possible workaround to make the shoes home/away compatible. Take the Cavs for example. Say we hex edit the colors like this:

Home Jersey:

• Team Color 1 - Maroon
• Team Color 2 - White

Away Jersey:

• Team Color 1 - Maroon
• Team Color 2 - Black

Then when making a shoe, all the layers you consider part of the "shoes base" you'd make Team Color 2 (white at home, black at away). The accent areas can either be Team Color 1, yellow, white or black (and would be constant regardless of being home or away).

I hope that makes sense.

In between football games, i'll be sketching out some ideas for shoes. Damn 2K.

Must be nice for 360 players!

That makes a lot of sense, but the ideal would be to have an option for the base to switch automatically from white (home) to black (away) or whatever color is specified as the shoe base color for each uniform (those who hex edit should know what I'm talking about). That way we wouldn't have to spend a team color just to get that.

That's what happens when editing the regular shoes: we have a base (whose color depends on what's configured as the shoe color base for the specific uniform), a team color 1 and a team color2.

I hope that makes sense too...

So for myplayer they said that if you join Nike you can get to a point where you are approached to make your own shoe.

Is it the same for the Jordan Brand? I'm sure it is but in the video he did say Nike instead of just saying in general.

Amazing, simply amazing. 2K is taking their overall game to the next level. Can't wait to see how it plays once I get the complete version Tuesday.
