NBA 2K14 Shoes Revealed - Added Brands Include Peak, Anta & Li-Ning

Hoping this doesn't mean that Reebok has been lost as a licensing partner. They just need to make sure that all shoes are high res or good quality with accurate color blocking. Can't wait to see how this will look on next-gen.

Can't wait to see the detail of the shoes in next gen. Not expecting much from the current gen as it pertains to shoes. Glad to see they got Li Ning in there!

For example if I'm playing MyCareer or even Association. During the season LeBron is wearing his home and away colorways of his shoes. When Christmas rolls around, hopefully the shoe's Christmas colorway is what he's wearing automatically as opposed to just the regular home/away color in MyCareer or me having to manually change it in Association.

Hoping we get Home & Away equipment this year or at least on next gen!

Not true. Last year's shoe game was fine, visually.

Although it's a huge ? on whether or not they'll look good in-game. 2K has never been too gifted in that aspect, not since 2k7-2k8 atleast. Go back and play those games and you'll be surprised how high-res the shoes look.

I agree with you on the low resolution shoes...I wonder if they had to lower the RES do to memory capacity.
because they have added a ton as they released new iterations of the game.

I don't have my hopes up for this year in that regard but at some point, I feel like that has to be inevitable. And when that happens, it'll be pretty awesome.

I understand there may have been technical complications in making this a reality in recent years. But still, if someone were to tell me back in 2006 that we'd go the entire length of a generation's worth of consoles and 2K still wouldn't be able to figure out how to add authentic and accurate colorways that automatically correspond to each team's home and away games, I'd have immediately balked at your assertion.

Now there is absolutely no excuse for ANY NBA player in the game to have generic shoes.
