The NBA 2K11 facebook page has given us another update to My Player mode.

"If you're gonna Become The Greatest, you gotta have your own signature shoe. Dominate in this year's version of My Player mode and you'll see your customized kicks on the feet of other guys in the league. What's your signature shoe gonna be called?"
I am not wishing for this at all...it just seems that every time 2K puts out a SUPER DUPER classic, they stop making the game. I hope that this is just them stomping out the competition!
I also await the return of NFL 2K and hope they get the license too!
You make it sound like they wanted to end those titles. They were booted out of the NFL market by that deal, and the same thing was about to happen on the college hoops side. They refused to get burned again. If you are about to end a title, you don't invest a lot of resources into it.
As for waiting for NFL, talk to the NFL about that. It's not 2K's call...
I'll never understand why so many people get excited over sneakers. I couldn't care less about what a player wears on their feet.
I just find this sneaker obsession annoying.
Aesthetic appeal man, shoes have always been a hot commodity when dealing with the game of basketball, much like people get excited over tattoos etc etc it's just been that way for a long time.

Neither of 2k's other sports games were considered classics until years after they were discontinued. This is not quite the same thing.
This is a nice feature. I'm not super big on kicks but the idea of players sporting your shoe is dope. Definitely gives an incentive to keep playing.
Imagine some years down the road and you're on the court schooling the youngster who's sporting your kicks, because he looks up to you. Always wanted to play against you.
NBA 2K11 - they will win the Best Sports Game of the Year! that's for sure... nothing is even close to them...
2k11 isn't the only quality sports game coming out the 2nd half of the year. NHL & FIFA(most popular sport in the world) may have a little say so in the matter. No disrespect intended.
Back on topic though, this is a nice little addition with the shoes.
I understand. Anyone is welcome to his/her own opinion. I love Fifa also especially Pro Evo and EA's Fifa on the PC but NBA for me is a harder game to make that's why EA have a harder time to compete with 2K and VC. remember EA NBA Live series was so dominant before we couldn't imagine before that 2K can beat them...
If I see another player wearing my shoes, I hope those shoes match the colors of their specific team. In the past 2k always had trouble with signature shoe colors on traded players. For example, Boozer playing for the Bulls with powder blue shoes.
