How to unlock the Air Apparent achievement in NBA 2K11 - Definitive Guide

If you are like me and finished the game but are still missing a a bunch of shoes, try this....

Put 12 minute quarters, turn off all rules, grab your turbo controller and turn on the A button after tipoff. Just let it sit there for an hour.

Do this when you go to bed or are tired. You will play a 48 minute game and unlock a pair of shoes every game or two without actually playing.

Make sure autosave is on and go into the menus after each game so it saves.

as long as its pressing A over and over it will work. This makes shoes unlock alot faster and will unlock within a few games instead of like "forever"

One method I have been using to get shoes to unlock is start up the season mode and when you got to play a game and have the option to select sides just leave the controller in the middle so that the CPU plays the game out. I usually just go watch TV or go out and you dont have to worry about pressing A. Just ensure you keep saving after every game.

that may work if you dont have a turbo controller but its the same process.

I'll vote positive as it is a good solution if you're allready tired of this game but the part about letting the game go overnight, you'll have to press start to quit the "new jordan unlocked" so autofiring A will not work unless you can press start after each game or so.

The reason you are getting negative votes is because not everyone has a turbo controller. In fact, I don't know anyone who does have one. I have tried to let the game play out in season mode while I was a specific team, and not doing anything, and also putting the controller in the middle to let the cpu play the whole game for me, but it doesn't work either way. My question is how the hell does the game know that I am not playing? I have had to earn every single pair of shoes so far. This game can suck it!

I think this is a great suggestion. You could always put in there that you can just turn off backcourt and shot clock violations and just inbound and come back 12 minutes later. Not as automated, but this will allow for everyone to do it.

except u are playing against the computer, and they will steal it and score, which may stop the clock.

I've done 7 48-minute games back to back and haven't had a single set of shoes unlock; I then go into Association mode and do the 30 4-minute games and 3 sets of shoes unlock. What gives :/

is this achievement glitched? i keep unlocking the same shoes over and over again, and my number has been stuck at 27 of 40 for as long as i can remember. i got most of the shoes from my player mode, and i am playing association mode now.

I've been playing MP mode, and I unlock shoes. Every time I unlock a shoe after a game, I immediately go and save the game (I have autosave OFF). But I notice when I log back onto my xbox and load the game, next time that I happen to unlock a shoe, it says the same number from the last time. So I'm apparently LOSING shoes when I log out of the game? I've been stuck at 7/40 for the longest time...

The computer never steals it when you are standing at your own end. Just stand in front of your basket with the ball. They only try to take it if you go in their end.

No turbo controller so this didn't work until I rubberbanded the two sticks, then shoes were popping after each game (12 min quarters). Got my last 4 sets this way

You can be playing Quick Games, Association games, My Player, Online, whatever. Just play and the shoes will come.
  
The shoes do not unlock in the same order for everyone, but rather in a weighted random order with respect to how scarce they are in the real world. For example, all of the shoes above with a ‘+2’ bonus will likely unlock much sooner than the shoes with the higher bonuses. The higher end shoes will definitely give you a big advantage over the competition, particularly in My Player Pick-Up games. The real prize here is obviously the Air Jordan XI, with a number of the ‘+5’ shoes hot on its heels. And remember, all you have to do to unlock these shoes is play the game!

Easy achievement but the most time consuming. Air Jordans are earned simply for playing the game. A pair unlocks after approximately 2 hours of playing time (Menu sitting isn't included). Play for 80 hours and this is yours. You should have the majority of these by the time your first My Player season is finished.
