08:24 PM - August 19, 2013 by Steve_OS

It looks like we will have customizable wristbands in NBA 2K14, for those of you interested in that sort of thing. You can see "I Promise" on LeBron's wristband in a recently released screenshot.

Really custom wristbands?

I already know what some of the responses are going to be to this news.
"______ is effed up and needs improvement, and 2k spent time and resources on custom wristbands"

Nice addition, the more customization the better.

But it's amazing that it's easier to identify LBJ's wristband than his...face.

You'll have to put it on a player with real thick wrists to fit in the band. Maybe there is a way to create Popeye.

Pretty cool feature really. I like little additions like this.

Haha. Yeah, in real life the saying goes around the entire band

Custom Colors for Accessories? I honestly hate seeing Melo wearing those UGLY light blue Sleeves. I want my game to look as best as possible, stackable accessories like D Rose, lower shorts, lower Hex Pads, Adidas Braces and shoes, etc.

I really don't mind Custom Messages, but I that's cool.

So sad that the PS2 had that until its end in 2K12.

adding wristbands you won't be able to read during gameplay vs adding new tattoos or hairstyles or fixing anything else just sounds silly. wristbands should be that thing you find that's added, not a special 'release note'. i'm all for customization but there's a lot needed before wristbands with words.

Pretty cool addition. I would be stoked if 2k really took it to the next level with ALL accessories. I have been wanting to get some Amare Stoudemire/ Kirk Hinrich Glasses on my guy for a while now.

Well are custom wristbands really that important when there are much more glaring issues?

# 16 Jrocc23 @ 08/20/13 12:32 PM

Like it. Love the little things.
