2K Sports Reveals Greatest of All Time Cover Athlete for NBA 2K11 (Press Release)

[instantpop]

Ugly. 2K really needs to stop letting interns do their design work. We've known for years they can't design intuitive menus, and now this is the best they've got for Michael Jordan on the cover of their game? I agree with whomever said it was 'weak sauce.'

Amazing cover! Collector Cover! Just with that is worth to buy!

I would of thought they would have used one of his famous dunks or something, but to slap on some lame red effects wasn't the right way to go. What I believe they should have done would be to go with an old theme on the cover, rather then the style used for the past 5 or 6 years.

Couldn't agree more. My initial impression was "yuck, that's it? That's what they came up with for Jordan? That's the worst cover in recent memory and this is supposed to be for Jordan???"

Like you said, it just looks unprofessional (you worded it as "noobish")... some red PS brushes... and some smeared brushes on the top layer set to "overlay" blend mode. I don't care for the balance of it either (it almost follows the rule of thirds, but since he's driving to the right, the negative space should be on that side of him, not vice versa...)

It just doesn't look like a professional designed it. In a world where every even semi-nerdy 11 year old knows how to use Photoshop... whatever, I'll stop.

Haha, none of this matters, because I'll still buy the game day one! I grew up on MJ and couldn't be more excited about this game .
