Anybody else bothered by 2K's utter refusal to get sneakers right?

I feel like it doesn't get brought up enough here because not enough people here care.

Jerseys and hairstyles seem to get more people going than anything, but there are some of us who actually want the sneakers to be accurate and 2K refuses to listen.

We had a thread going for sneakers last year, but it did little to help the authenticity of shoes in the game.



2K - Are you guys blatantly trolling? Or do you really have one of the laziest art departments in sports gaming?

Look at Jordan's shoes in the picture above. Now look at how they are supposed to look:

This was the final straw for me. I don't have a PC and I don't plan to buy one. I shouldn't have to mod the game in order to do 2K's job for them.

I'm just curious to know if 2K is going to continue to piss off/disrespect an entire subculture for the 3rd year in a row.

Because they don't seem to care to address it at all...

Although a lot of people can live with those ugly generics and don't even notice, I understand u perfectly because I'm one of those that find real gear an important point to add immersion and realism to the game.

Too bad that the art department don't put the same effort than the rest of the team, because if they did the game would be close to PERFECTION. IMO it is their weakest point.

I hate to be one of those guys that gripe about small things but its true. These arent things that make or break a game but they are really missing a chance to give fans those extra "Wow" moments. No excuse for the most popular bball brands to be jacked up. The Jordan 11's and 13's are hideous in 2k.

Unless your online only players, BUY PC VERSION. All problems solved.

to this day I've never cared about shoes. I still don't know what people's obsession is with them.

You can't even notice them during play, even on a huge HD set. Except during maybe freethrows.

You can't. I definitely can.

And yes. It's driving me mad. It looks to be another year of incorrect kicks. Ugh.

I really can't stand these threads. Were talking about shoes. Not gameplay, not glitches, not extra modes that can be added but shoes.

While I do get your frustration, I truly can't care less. That doesn't mean I don't agree with you. I care about other things in a game, and I would not like it if they didn't improve those things, so from your standpoint I would be annoyed too, but do you seriously consider it a gamebreaker?
