To be honest, in real life the shoes do matter in basketball. Are you more likely to make sure you have the right shoes before playing basketball or are you more likely to make sure your hair is perfect before playing a game of hoops.
Shoes are an important part of basketball culture, so it's nice to see that the shoe game is in point. Of course, it is kind of funny to think about in the wake of Ronnie's "Barbie game" comment.
Some nice gameplay in there, shoes of course look great but iam starting to think that the first bit of raw gameplay I see is when iam playing it myself.
