Re: Shoes that need to be added to 2K13

For you Sean,

http://www.dualshockers.com/2012/09/07/prevew-nba-2k13-now-with-more-jigga-man/

Spoiler

We’ve had hands-on time with NBA 2k13 a couple of times now. During our last preview we got a chance to look at the finesse of dribbling and defending. Now, during our most recent sit down with the game, we get a chance to see what adding a visionary like Jay-Z as an executive producer brings to the franchise.

I am sure many gamers like myself must have thought to themselves, “Why Jay-Z?” Here’s your answer: to infuse the game, not only with hip hop, but to bring to the forefront the culture and attitude of basketball in general. Does Jay-Z deliver as the Executive Producer?

Many gamers will remember the opening scene of NBA 2K11, a scene which — because of its epic nature — gave me chills. You had Michael Jordan walking out of the player’s tunnel right before the Bulls versus Lakers 1991 first playoff game turning and asking “Are you ready?”
NBA 2K13 tries to recreate that magic, but this time with a Jay-Z twist, as the game opens up to the rap icon performing Public Service
Announcement and the opening line is “Allow me to re-introduce myself….” It’s a statement that helps describe exactly what he has done to the franchise, by re-introducing it as a force to be reckoned with.

Obviously Jay-Z influences the music of NBA 2K13 but he also played a large role in the overall visual look through music video-style presentations and displays seen throughout the game. Jay-Z played a role in making sure that, for the first time ever, the USA Mens Basketball “Dream Team” of 1992 was present as well as 2012′s gold medal winning Team USA. Jigga also used his clout to secure Scottie Pippen and Charles Barkley for the game in order to ensure that the Dream Team was complete and ready for prime time. You can finally settle the debate of who really was the best men’s national basketball team.

I got the chance to play the Dream Team versus 2012 Team USA on a court designed specifically for the occasion, along with commentary created specifically for the match up. It felt great seeing the entire Dream Team take the court and have Larry Bird drop long range three pointers while watching Clyde Drexler float a few layups.

Also new to this year’s game is Virtual Currency or VC. When VC is earned it can be used to trick out your “MyPlayer” character with everything form blinged-out watches, new sneakers, your Signature Skills and even equipment. You can gain VC in almost anything you do as well as purchase VC via micro transactions, a new Facebook social game and a companion application as well.

Items in the game now are broken up into three different areas: game day (what you wear on the hardwood), game arrival (your dress attire for interviews and getting off the team bus) and blacktop (your casual attire). NBA 2K13 increases the RPG-esque aspects of the game now by incorporating stat modifiers to items that are purchased such as ankle braces, shoes, etc.

Two brand new aspects of the game are the celebrity team as well as the shoe creator. That’s right, you can take control of a celebrity team which includes Justin Bieber, Bow Wow, Sean Kingston and Jersey Shore stars Vinny and Pauly D. Justin Bieber even did a motion capture session to be incorporated into the game and Pauly D’s blowout never looked better in high definition. Even more impressive was the shoe creator which allows players to customize up to 45 different shoe components and layers to create your own unique shoe and style. Sneaker heads everywhere will be losing their minds with this mode.

NBA2K13 looks to be a monster title and plays like the gold medalist of all basketball games. Combine that with Jay-Z and you have a must-have title for any basketball fan. Stay tuned for more info on the game and our full review when it launches on October 5th, 2012.

Here is the main shoe part of the article:

Even more impressive was the shoe creator which allows players to customize up to 45 different shoe components and layers to create your own unique shoe and style. Sneaker heads everywhere will be losing their minds with this mode.

So I guess the question is, is it 45 different parts of the shoe, or 45 layers total, or 8 total layers on 45 different components. Or some combo of that.

Re: Shoes that need to be added to 2K13

Angel, looks like you've gotta change the name of your thread to "shoes that need to be created for 2K13." I'm so geeked and excited to see how in-depth this feature is. This could really make missing shoes (both classic and new releases) a thing of the past. I'm just hoping that we'll have an option for the shoe to change to white/black for home & away variation.

I love y'all, 2K Sports!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Oh, and can you please add the Nike Huarache 2K4, Reebok Sublite ProRise and Nike Flight One to the list.

Re: Shoes that need to be added to 2K13

I'm only half excited for this feature. I'm saving the other half until I see the mode myself. Too many times with video games I see some kind of feature and I get all excited about the possibilities and make all these plans of what I'm going to do with the mode once I get my hands on the game and the day finally comes and it works nothing like what I expected.

I don't believe 2K will make this mistake, but I can just see getting this game on the 2nd, heading straight to shoe creator and not being able to make any of these shoes we're dreaming about having. Hopefully I'm wrong and it turns out like THQ's Paint Tool addition where guys make pretty much picture perfect Create-A-Wrestlers attires, logos and the like. Really hope this works out the way we all hope.

Anybody who is a WWE 12 fan knows that this feature will be a hacker's paradise.

Watch how many people upload texture skinned shoes onto 2K that look like they could have came with the game.

You're all going to be surprised.

Re: Shoes that need to be added to 2K13

It would be awesome if I am somehow able to create my favorite basketball shoes that I used when I was young. I'd cry and I'm not even a shoe/accessory freak in 2k

When I read this I thought about WWE '12 and how they import textures and stuff into created characters. If someone figures how to do the same for 2k, sneakers may no longer be an issue at least offline.

Re: Shoes that need to be added to 2K13

Being able to re-create actual released Jordans are most important to me...no reason Mike shouldn't be wearing the true Olympic 7's. Don't get me started on those bootleg looking XI's he wears.

Well, WWE 12 lets you take created wrestlers online, so let's keep our fingers crossed.

Re: Shoes that need to be added to 2K13

Please check the list before hand some shoes are already on the list, just in a different colorway. I'm specifically talking to k1lo5, ecovyoudug, caveman24, J_Posse and Norris_Cole. Also provide the name of the shoe not just pictures, Thanks.

Only issue, PS3 doesn't let this happen. I wish I kept my 360.

I just hope you can DL peoples shoe creations.

Don't worry bro, 2K will let us upload our creations (my idea) and as an added bonus you can buy your NikeID creations (not my idea.). The Shoe Creator will be NikeID + a lot more custom shoe making to make any shoe you can imagine.

Jordan XX need fixed BADLY. There should be a strap on them and the color options need to be updated
