So many casual sport gamers are still unaware that Jordan is even playable. From a marketing point of view, when dealing with Jordan in a video game, I don't think 2K could possibly 'over do it'. He sells and sells well. Until the 40 year old mothers with the cash know about this game and their child's yearning for it, 2K hasn't done enough, lol.

i simply expressed my personal distaste for all the jordan news. end of story. i really couldn't care less about what 2K is trying to do for the next person. that has absolutely nothing to do with what's happening on my end. i'm an individual consumer myself with concerns of my own, regardless of whether or not little johhny is slobbing down jordan and begging his mom to buy the game

well then just dont read anything else on NBA 2k11 because in case you havent noticed, Jordan is going to be their main promotional aspect for this game.

Pretty much true. One the Jordan Challenge is completed, you can assign rookie MJ to any current ballclub and take him through his career (he'll age over time). This will happen within the current NBA though, not 1986.

Wow is that it? Where's the rest of the preview?

I can't wait till the Jordan blah blah blah is over. I wanna hear more about the game besides Jordan.

Im disappointed that he said the gameplay was only a little smoother than 2k10. I wish he talked more about the core gameplay instead of the jordan challenge. Nobody cares that you only scored 18 points with MJ at halftime against the Celtics.
