Re: NBA 2K13 Video - Developer Insight #6: Shoes

i like the idea ... but think they should be better ...

Probably they should, but it's still very good that the game has the shoes in better resolution by default as oppossed to the lower res 2K12's ones. It's great news for everyone.

Re: NBA 2K13 Video - Developer Insight #6: Shoes

The shoe creator is cool, but I'm still pretty pumped about the authentic shoes 2K's adding on their own. Their textures look much, much better than I've ever seen in any other 2K. And while I'm hoping for better Jordan possibilities, I'm also loving the shoe depth. I might have to mirror my most recent real life purchase and rock a pair of Olympic VC BB4's right from the start.

Re: NBA 2K13 Video - Developer Insight #6: Shoes

It's funny how little I cared about shoes since the options were always limited. Nothing boiled my blood than seeing the wrong colorways on Jordans. Now that i have seen this insight, I am completely blown away. Also having seen that we can edit Jordans on bigball12's thread, I will be spending alot more time in Shoe Creator than I expected.

Re: NBA 2K13 Video - Developer Insight #6: Shoes

Very excited about this! Still have some questions that I think a few of us have brought up I haven't seen answered yet:

1) Can we download shoe creations from 2Kshare?
2) Can we take our custom shoes online in any capacity (for gameplay)?
3) Can we create home/away versions of the shoe?


LD, any insight?

Sneakerheads rejoice...I made some really really dope combos last year. Looking forward to seeing how crazy I can get now.

Re: NBA 2K13 Video - Developer Insight #6: Shoes

...and now is when I hate all the people working in this videogame!

I am in front of a computer all day at work, but thank God that brick can't run 2K13.

btw, LD2K, put some light on the mistery of the primary and secondary team color options man!

My understanding is that primary and secondary team colors are selectable for each layer.

I see a possible workaround to make the shoes home/away compatible. Take the Cavs for example. Say we hex edit the colors like this:

Home Jersey:

• Team Color 1 - Maroon
• Team Color 2 - White

Away Jersey:

• Team Color 1 - Maroon
• Team Color 2 - Black

Then when making a shoe, all the layers you consider part of the "shoes base" you'd make Team Color 2 (white at home, black at away). The accent areas can either be Team Color 1, yellow, white or black (and would be constant regardless of being home or away).

I hope that makes sense.

In between football games, i'll be sketching out some ideas for shoes. Damn 2K.

Must be nice for 360 players!

That makes a lot of sense, but the ideal would be to have an option for the base to switch automatically from white (home) to black (away) or whatever color is specified as the shoe base color for each uniform (those who hex edit should know what I'm talking about). That way we wouldn't have to spend a team color just to get that.

That's what happens when editing the regular shoes: we have a base (whose color depends on what's configured as the shoe color base for the specific uniform), a team color 1 and a team color2.

I hope that makes sense too...:wink:

Re: NBA 2K13 Video - Developer Insight #6: Shoes

So for myplayer they said that if you join Nike you can get to a point where you are approached to make your own shoe.

Is it the same for the Jordan Brand? I'm sure it is but in the video he did say Nike instead of just saying in general.

Re: NBA 2K13 Video - Developer Insight #6: Shoes

Amazing, simply amazing. 2K is taking their overall game to the next level. Can't wait to see how it plays once I get the complete version Tuesday.

Air Penny's in ??

Air Penny's in ??

Yes.

Another user posted a video (2K made him take it down) that showed most of the Nike's that are in the game. I can definitely confirm that the Penny I, Penny II, and Foamposite One are indeed in the game. Didn't see the III, IV, (upcoming) V, or any of the hybrids (Half Cent, Zoom Rookie, etc.) though.
