Awesome! CANNOT WAIT to play with MJ in a modern NBA game!!!

Maybe now that the Bobcats' owner is on the cover 2K will make sure their unis are actually accurate.

Jordan to help develop upcoming hoops video game Posted Jun 2 2010 2:19PM NEW YORK (AP) -- Basketball superstar Michael Jordan will help develop the upcoming "NBA 2K11" game from Take-Two Interactive and will be on the game's cover. ******** type="text/javascript"> cnnad_createAd("185474","http://ads.nba.com/html.ng/site=nba&nba_pos=160x170_spon&nba_rollup=news&nba_section=article&page.allowcompete=yes&params.styles=fs","170","160"); ******** type="text/javascript"> cnnad_createAd("299234","http://ads.nba.com/html.ng/site=nba&nba_pos=160x600_bot&page.allowcompete=yes&params.styles=fs","600","160"); Jason Argent, vice president of marketing at Take-Two's 2K Sports, says that's a departure from a typical cover deal with athletes. Usually, the game maker simply hands over a check. Players will be able to play Jordan's character to vicariously slam-dunk their way to victory from the comfort of their couch. Although 2K did not give a lot of information on how the game will look, Argent says Jordan will be working closely with developers, right down to such details as whether the character's elbow is at the correct angle for a shot. The new game goes on sale Oct. 5. The company wouldn't disclose financial details.

Having great game play..

Is it 1992 again?
