Nice Kicks Mentions Something Major Coming For NBA 2K14

Throw back shoes from 90's and 80's Like Air bakins or Air pippens

What's the point in having all these kicks when 2k doesn't even equip them on the players. Worst accessories update in franchise history and its probably gonna be worst next year because 2k has no competition and they don't give a sh!t anymore.

Never really thought of it like that, but you're right.

Whatever it is, I am hopeful to see the great shoe features of 2K13 and 2K12 thrown together into one. I love the depth of shoes added in 2K13 and I like their visual upgrade. However, I found myself becoming frustrated with the oversimplification of shoe customization found in 2K13's edit player screen. I like being able to apply Hyperdunks to a player then freely tweaking a single color to match his real life pair. Instead, in 2K13, it was a little tedious having to go to the create-a-shoe screen and use up one of the limited "created shoe" slots just to make sure your player's shoes didn't look ridiculous, at which point they'd often end up looking ridiculous anyway because of the inability to accommodate shoes home and away.

All that said, I like the idea of a shoe "Insider" of sorts, though it wouldn't necessarily service the large swath of folks who use their own custom rosters.

Imma guessin it's attribute boosts on shoes again.

We all know how the last kind of insider turned out...I mean additional content is always nice, and maybe 2k provides a well planned and executed feature. On the other hand, is there any good reason for removing the shoe edit options in the first place?
So I want to be optimistic...but I just cant see what 3rd party branding can contribute to overall game quality. But its too early to judge of course, maybe the whole thing is going to be great.

Another speculation...maybe it is simply another kind of product placement. I mean we already have Footlocker,NikeID,Sprite and JayZ. So in the end it could be some kind of online shop integration or earning credit points for ordering some fancy signature shoe. Or even worse, you could earn VC by ordering something from Footlocker or Nice Kicks...

So maybe this feature will be amazing, but I dont like the direction with this. Why not cooperate with Synergy Sports or Hoopdata instead?
