i really hope not...i dont want to breeze through the Jordan Challenge, i want to work for it!!

I'd like to see them implement that '93 suns team. KJ,Barkley,Majerle,Dumas that finals was truly amazing (I tried using the word E-P-I-C but I kept getting censored).
You rarely see finishes like what occured in game 6 anymore. Alot of ISO often rather than ball movement to find the open man etc. Guess I'm dating myself but eh, whatever lol. I'm interested in knowing if that 1995 Magic team that ousted Chicago when Horace Grant signed with Orlando will be made available. Almost would like to see what 'could' have happened if Nick Anderson didn't swipe the ball from behind MJ. I'm pretty sure it's too late to add in there, wishful thinking I suppose.

But they are indeed, J ... when announcing the returning of this year insights, Ron told us that they were aiming at 12 insights, 1 per week until 2k11 ... so if this is an insight (this week`s 1) then ... it would be 2 insights with close to none worthy info (the 1 previous the last was bad but pales compared to this latest) ...

Then again, we are receiving a hands on preview tomorow as well as a teaser and hopefully some pictures and videos to compensate.

NEXT NBA 2K11 Developer Insight - "MJ: Creating a Legend" by Erick Boenisch, Tuesday, August 17th, 2010
So, tomorrow we'll have an Insight about the MJ Legend mode. After the IGN Hands On Preview, I thought we would have an Insight about something else, but myaybe there's more to it that we don't know yet.

I'm pretty sure that's the last Insight about Jordan.
 
# 28 aloncho11 @ 08/16/10 05:26 PM
Yes, the next one will probably be related to artwork/graphics from what I've read here in OS.

Of course we did. An early read of that #NBA2K11 My Player Insight, it is going to blow your mind.
I know Ronnie tends to be emotional/excited with his posts, but I'm pretty sure 2K has taken My Player to the next level. Personally, I've never played this mode, but for you guys who can't live without it, it should probably be big.

dont know if this has been asked but

u think 2k will add in the old playoffs/finals logos on the courts?
 
# 32 youvalss @ 08/16/10 07:52 PM
No one knows, but since they're trying to go deep, I don't see a reason why not.
 
# 33 aloncho11 @ 08/16/10 10:35 PM
^ Most probably they will be included...or I'm nor buying this game LOL.

# 35 Phreezy P @ 08/16/10 11:35 PM
The next insight is tomorow, and it's about jordan, again. Big whoop.
 
# 36 aloncho11 @ 08/16/10 11:42 PM
....:WHOOP:...
 
# 37 youvalss @ 08/17/10 12:08 AM
I'm pretty sure we'll get some updated screenshots of MJ.
 
# 38 aloncho11 @ 08/17/10 01:02 AM
Awesome, but would also like to see the "faceless" players of the trailer like Woolridge, Schrempf, Drexler...Pip and Oakley would be nice too.

Nope, that was '95 through '97 if I recall correctly (as in 94-95, 95-96, and 96-97). I think it was moved back to normal for the 1997-98 season.
