The covers are singular, there is no triple cover on sale. However, we will have news on how you can interchange covers in coming days.

There is no main star. As with the Jordan,Johnson and bird covers you may pick depending on availability

Could it be possible the AI thing Mike Wang was talking about is incorporating college rules for a NCAA tournament mode in MyCareer or something like that? Just food for thought.

You've got a good point. I admit, my soft spot for classic teams had me noticing Harden in an Oklahoma City jersey more than anything else at first (I was thinking maybe a classic Thunder team would be in).

But you're right about the college stuff. One would think there'd have to be some licensing of some sort to secure those pictures and use them on this product but I don't know. I have a hard time believing there'd be too much college depth of anything, but I'm intrigued nonetheless.

I feel like if they use random athletes that arent remotely close to their actual counterpart (outside of the rookies) then maybe it could work. And maybe it is only a game or 2 in the NCAA like the Final 4 and Championship game if you win the first game.

Hell, randomize the teams in the tourney so nobody can say it was based off of their likeness.
