Re: OS NBA 2k17 Shoe Vault - Discussion
Look at it from this perspective:
Not a lot of people play the retro teams. Most just wanna jump in Park or MyPlayer. The consumer base of 2K, which is most likely in the realm of 10 million plus, has an age range of people playing it between kids to adults. Let's say that, and I'm just guessing here, a good number of those playing are usually younger people aged 14-24, how many of them would really buy retro kicks that aren't a Jordan shoe, or a formerly highly visible retro Nike shoe to put on their player when they have the option to put on a KD, LeBron, or Kyrie shoe, right?
And, again, we don't decide what goes into the game. 2K and the shoe companies, more than likely, have set contracts which only allow certain models to be put in. If we had things the way we want them, the Lillard 3 would already be in the game. We'd have the Pro Model adidas for the retro teams. We'd be able to edit Weapons worn by Magic and Larry. It's not a perfect world, man. Like how everyone came down on me for the texture bug fix, and I did get the point presented, you gotta understand that we don't have a specific say on what should go in vs. what shouldn't. In all honesty, with the kind of work Hawktastic has done for sneakers this year, we really shouldn't be in a position to have huge gripes with what's available. Hell, we're spoiled this year when you compare it to every other NBA 2K, sneakerwise.
