OS NBA 2K22 Shoe Vault - Discussion

[ReturnoftheTmac]

I don’t think people wanting shoes to at least be in the game, not even mentioning Colorways which is a shame we’ll never get those again is that bad? It’s November 9 and we don’t even have Lebron’s new shoe in. How people gonna blame the consumer for not being happy about that?🥴

Because they act like the game is unplayable without those sneakers in.

I’m sure they still play it, just as I do. They have a right to be annoyed at 2k just like they’re annoyed by you being so annoyed at them. We’ll all be okay. I personally enjoy most aspects of this sub thread. The creations, the suggestions, the complaints, and the excitement when Pc asset files dude alerts us to new shoes waiting on release. ****’s going to be slow whether there was ever gonna be complaints or not.

Obviously, it sucks to have to wait to get certain shoes in the game. Especially the ones that are frequently in use (Lebron 19, Freak 3, Exhibit A). I also understand that there are things behind the scenes that probably need to be worked out between 2K and the shoe companies.

I'd just like some information on what goes into getting a shoe model included. For instance, 2K recently added the Curry 9 from Under Armour and the MB.01 from Puma. If Under Armour provided details of the Curry 9 to 2K then why not provide details for the Spawn 3 or FUTR X. Same with Puma, why not include details of the Fusion Nitro and Triple Threat to go along with the MB.01.

If you would like more information... the shoe departments are provided a suite (hardware/software) to scan their shoes in for promotional purposes. They scan them in and send them to 2k. 2k optimizes them and then puts them into the game. Remember there is color blocking, materials, and things like that too. So not as easy as the company just taking a picture and shoot, the way it looks maybe it just isn't a priority for the shoes companies to make sure their shoes are in the game upon the release of them all the time.

A lot of the player models may be in , maybe some of that is the player or Steph's team pushing to make sure his shoes are in. Makes sense that the player exclusive shoes especially the MB.01's which im guessing due to his popularity are gonna fly off shelves,.

Another thing could be maybe all he companies got their shoes in early in the season and 2k has like 10 shoes to wrk on optimizing and it make take them time to do that.'

And you bring up UA, they have the same process with the other games. They are not in madden at all (not sure if they are actually in the NFL at all this year), and in MLB they didnt have ANY updated models the whole season

When folks used to play nice (which was until the 2K17 Shoe Vault thread), we got colorways updated every so often. I remember LaVine wore the Dark Knight Kobe V's, someone requested it from Brett Hawkins, and it got added in a couple days later. Heck, someone even made a special request for AD's Air Max Dominate PE with the different Swoosh placement, and it got added as an editable shoe.

On the other hand, people chose to demand stuff like it had to be there ASAP the year after, then everything went downhill.

Annoyed is one thing. Demanding for something repeatedly, even when it's already been explained properly — over and over again, year after year — that a shoe isn't going to make it in just because they ask for it is another thing.

I haven't seen anyone do anything different than what you stated in your first paragraph. I don't know where you differentiating between "asking" and "demanding" Legit shoes are missing from the game and I think people have a right to be vocal about it because that's usually how you get a video game company to listen (and with your wallet)

So you're telling me it's cool to just bash someone from 2K and harass them because the Air Force Commander or the Zoom Flight 95 isn't in the game? Or because another old shoe isn't in the game and "it totally ruins the experience"?

So it's cool to say "Just go buy the shoe and scan it in!", even when the developers are, most likely, bound to a contract that states what shoes make it in? Even when it's already been explained, since the 2K17 thread, that this is the case?

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Look, I get the complaints about modern day shoes. I'm with it when people wish they'd make it in game. I remember how it took hella long for the Harden Vol. 2 to make it in before. I remember how the Harden Vol. 5 was mad late last season, so I'm in that boat that gets frustrated, but, AS AN ADULT, I understand that the developers' hands are tied when it comes to what sneakers make it in and when they make it in.
