NBA 2K23 Jordan Challenge Details and Features Revealed

Re: NBA 2K23 Jordan Challenge Details and Features Revealed

Something I just noticed in the footage from the Jordan Challenges.... the Bulls logo on the home uniforms for the 90, 91, and 92 teams is wrong. They have the Bulls logo from the 93, 95, 96, 97 and 98 uniforms instead of the Bull that is outlined in white, which would be correct. I hope this is addressed once again especially with all the focus on accuracy to the time period and after they just announced all the uniform rebrands or jersey changes reflected in NBA Eras mode. The main reason I hope it gets fixed is because it's not something we can simply edit like an armband or accessory color but instead is just part of the player model team uniform art.

Here is an image from the 1992 Finals illustrating what I am talking about. Observe the Bulls logo on the shorts..

Interesting. Never realized it was different between the years. I assume 2K22 has it wrong as well?

I actually think 2k has never had it correct.

That's such minor detail I doubt they touch it or even know it's wrong tbh. Hell, people in this thread didn't even realize lol. This is not to discredit your observation or request, just saying I'd only expect significant uniform refreshes to be a focus for them since those are more obvious.

Some things I am hoping for in regards to authenticity for the Jordan Challenge

-They have warmups for the 84 Team USA and his 90s Bulls teams, would be great to get his University of North Carolina warmups and the earlier Bulls warmups for the 86 team in the Arrival Challenge vs the Celtics which I also hope have their accurate 86 warmups.

- in the 82 Championship Challenge University of North Carolina vs Georgetown, I'm hoping for Dean Smith as the UNC coach and John Thompson for Georgetown, and for the 84 Team USA Challenge Bobby Knight as the USA coach.

- The Rodman player model for the Passing The Torch Challenge should not have his hair coloring from the 1998 Finals but should instead be primarily blonde in order to be accurate to the actual game vs the Lakers.

- The 1997 and 1998 Scottie Pippen should not be wearing his Nike Air More Uptempo but rather his 1997 signature sneaker the Nike Air Pippen 1 in 1997and Nike Air Pippen 2 for 1998. In the footage and images I've seen from the Jordan Challenge I haven't been able to make out which sneakers Pippen has in the 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992 and 1995 teams, but for 1989 and 1990 it would be great to have the Avia 885 and the Air Flight lite low for 1991, Nike Air Flight lite 2 for 1992, The Nike Air Up or Jordan X for 1995.

Here is excellent reference

- Pippen's player model for the 1995 Double Nickel Challenge should have his mini fro

With this my era addition I hope we get a plethora of retro sneakers. Great selection of Reebok’s … we need a ton of retro Nike. Those Pippen 1s are so good.

I think it was when the Jordan Challenge was announced for 2K11, someone here posted how they wanted to play with current players - "not some bum from the 80's", and I'm pretty sure one of the guys here made it his signature.

So here's to the best version of "Bum from the 80's" 2K has ever created!

I had it as my sig for a long time, I had forgotten about it, but thinking about it now, as absurd as it was at the time, it was a harbinger of the attitude that has, IMO, become the dominant one for a large percentage of the people who play the game now.

Re: NBA 2K23 Jordan Challenge Details and Features Revealed

What’s comical is 2K clearly gets more action and engagement from classic players in the game than they do modern players. Which is why they keep doing stuff like this. They wouldn’t do it if it wasn’t good for the bottom line.

Same reason The Last Dance is the highest rated sports documentary. Same reason ratings started tanking after 98 finals and now finals ratings/engagement is historically low.

If people wanted to “play with current players” so much then MyNBA wouldn’t be a forgotten mode and stuff like park where you use created players wouldn’t dominate the game. They’re talk, but no action. They ain’t watching games and they ain’t playing nba modes. Hence why 2K figures, let’s polish up the classic element to drive engagement to the NBA modes.

Man MJ’s footwork is obscene. OBSCENE! Hakeem and Kobe footwork are masterpieces but I’m sorry, Mike has the best footwork in history. He just makes it look easier than they do. But when you really see him decide to put on a performance (he usually is more technical, no wasted movements), no one has that footwork/body control/ease of motion.

I’ll see if the bum is any better at golf than basketball and report back.
