Take Rodman out of the game and put jordan at the 3. Let the CPU shoot 3s from out front. Should be no problem.

Thanx! can't wait to try it later.

Finally beat all 10. It was tough but, I got it. The series with the Lakers took forever.

I averaged about 60/12/6 against them

They were tougher than any of the other teams though

I've been playing all of the Jordan Challenges in order and now i'm down to "The Last Dance", it is so frustrating trying to get those 4 steals.
I'm really angry at myself because on my 5th attempt, playing in PRO level, I managed to secure the 4 steals by the 3rd qtr and ended up losing the game by 2 points off a Hornacek 3-pointer with 2.5 seconds to play!
I'm now attempting The Last Dance for the 7th time and I can't get those steals again, I even fouled out last game in the 3rd quater for reach-in-fouls. I also seem to stael the ball away from the defender but one of my teammates ends up grabing it, thus giving them credit for the steal.

Any tips would be helpful.

I beat the jordan challenge on saturday.I beat the lakers in five games. I got the 4 steals and beat the jazz 98 finals game. One time I fouled out reaching trying to get the steals and had to start over.The next time I ran behind the player with the ball reached knocked the ball away and got some steals.

Man, these are fun, but oh so frustrating. I got Bad Boys straightaway, but have been trying the rest on All pro.

-The Shootout is so frustrating because I can dominate the game, but can't keep Wilkins under 25. I double him from the get go, have pressure tight, and try to deny him the ball. But half the time they don't double him anyways, and lots of his points come right after I score, because Jordan or Pippen don't pick him up like they should when there's no set offense. Also, he drains everything, from everywhere. In two games, he had 2 buzzard beating fallaway three pointers from about 5 feet past the arc with Pippen in his face. Even when you keep him locked up, he pulls rebounds down and lays them in. So tough.

-The Double Nickel was also frustrating but in a different way. With about 5 mins left in the game, I'm in good position: Jordan had about 48 of his 55, and the game is tied. Ewing has been nonexistant, and the only thing keeping the Knicks in the game is a crazy string of 3 pointers (like 4 or 5 in a row). Then, Ewing fouls out and I take the lead. Very nice, right? Wrong. Ewing stays in the game anyways, and proceeds to go a friggin tear, pulling boards and points left and right. I end up losing the game and falling short of the score mark because I can't get the ball enough (Ewing's O rebounds).

Still, despite the flaws, these are great fun.

Trying the last dance, thats the hardest for me as you have to get 4 steals.

Completed the Arrival the first time. I got 69 points, w the assists and rebounds. Then I went on to complete the Flu Game. I had over 40 points and almost didnt get the rebounds needed. The third one I did was the 69 points against the Cavs, also got the other stats needed. And in one go, I finished the Bad Boys. I'm still working on the Shootout and the Shrug. Dominic ended up getting more than 25 at the game's end. So heartbreaking lol.

Does anyone know how to easily get the 4 steals?

I wouldn't call this method easy, but try switching to a zone defense, 2-3 or 1-3-1. The guards/forwards have a tendency to play the passing lanes more when playing zone resulting in deflected passes or outright steals.

I've gotten a few steals this way.

just play rookie mode. its much easier. or you can edit jordans steal rating in the menu. and then play it.

Re: The Jordan Challenge "I beat it" "This is how I did it" Thread

i have completed the challenges (pro) for only a single game each but can't finish the two challenges versus sonics and jazz. it is very easy to score if you're using jordan and i was using the same play over and over again. jordan will post up, isolate, back down the defender and spin and it's automatic 2 pts., and as for limiting drexler (he had only 8 pts against me), just focus on guarding drexler and not the other guys. right now, i am having problems on how to get the 9 and 7 rebounds that i needed because rodman and longley are the ones who are crashing the board. any suggestions on how i can improve my rebounding so i can finish the last two challenges? i tried to position jordan on PF and Center position but still, longley or rodman gets the rebound...

Let some one else shoot and crash the boards hard. Offensive and Defensive.
