    Michael Jordan in NBA Games?


    We all know the deal with legends that aren't apart of the retired legends league etc...

    And Michael charges an arm and a leg so producers can't get their company to dish out the ridiculous amounts.

    So my question is, are we satisfied with the fact that the greatest players and PLAYER will never grace new generation games and into the future?

    Why are certain legends and MJ so resistant to licensing their name and person to video games?

    The NBA prides itself on the history of the league and honors legends every year. Why are the games putting legends and historic moments at the back of the priority list?

    You put Michael Jordan in a game and you get customers that aren't real sports fanatics but just know the name and the legend that comes with it, buying your game.

    What gives?

    Some of the Legends players aren't under NBA Player Union Contracts so EA can't officially use them or otherwise a lawsuit will occur.

      That is correct, like Jordan, Barkley etc...

      I don't understand why in 2K, 2K1 Live 2000/2001 you could get these legends but now they can't. What happened 7-8 years ago that made these legends out of contract?

        Jordan was an active player in early 2000's so he was eligible to be in the game. I'll let a producer fully explain the reasons as to why they are not now.

          I always dream how sick it would be to play with classic rosters in classic arenas with the modern day games engines.

            Absolutely. I would love some in-depth classic teams.

              If you own PC versions of NBA Live there are some indepth classic team mods at NBA Live Series Center.

                Jordan's last appearance in a video game was Live 2004(I think 2k4 too, dont remember).

                  Apparently there is a growing community playing 2k9 on PC and I've seen some incredibly realistic Jordan models and old time rosters.

                  :Edit:

                  Here's a pretty good one I found.

                    Ya but we need at least "generic" signature shots mo-capped that mimic the greats, especially jordan so we can create these.

                    btw can you link where I can download that roster?
