      I never was a Jordan fan so this doesnt appeal to me. Actually I'm a little disappointed this warranted a entire "mode" but I'm sure there's more than enough people who loves this idea.
      You looking at the Chair MAN!

      Number may not tell the whole story ,but they never lie either.

          Love the idea. Only downside is this is a cheesers wet dream.

          Way to capture the casual gamers' market 2K. Shrewd business move.

          You know there are thousands of cheesers out there and what better way to get sales than to introduce a mode where they can go haywire.

          I tip my hat to y'all.

            There are several additions. For example:

            1991 NBA Finals

            When: June 2 thru June 12, 1991 vs. Lakers

            Goal 1: Average 31.0+ points

            Goal 2: Shoot 55%+ from the field

            Goal 3: Average 11+ assists

            Goal 4: Win the series
            That's a new one, and a one that I've been asking for. I'm really happy they added it. It just helps you to understand what MJ did during the 1991 Finals.

              I'm sorry but that IMO was a waste of a insight. We already knew that there were certain things required to accomplished the jordan challenges. Give us insights more in the line of the last one. It was informative and contained a lot of new info pertaining to fixing problems in the Franchise.

                I don't think it was a "real" insight, just an update. They pretty mych copy-past everything + several lines of what they added. I'm pretty sure we'll get a "real" insight soon.

                  Yeah, that one stuck out. I had to google the 1991 Finals box score to check and see if he really did that (57 assists in five games). Unbelievable.

                    Yeah. Magic had about 12 assits per game, so MJ was right behind him. It's just amazing!

                      You act like there are a limited number of insights and this took one away.

                      If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

                        Yeah the average 11 assists one will probably be a bitch. Especially if they don't do something to ensure collapsing defenses to allow for a drive and kick game, and if they deliver on the promise to decrease paint scoring. I wonder how many people will try to force double OT in the 63 point game.

                            wonder how much his stats will go down for the Flu game? Love having Jordan in the game and he way they seem to have changed up the gameplay but playing as Nique and some of the other legends is also something im really looking forward to.

                            Cant wait to see trailes with classic teams..hope they throw them in at least one trailer.

                              When you play the flu game, try to sit away from the screen. The last think you want is to catch something...
