If this has jordan it has to have great pregame presentations of the whole teams something they didnt have last years game. Make it an event.

Yep and they better have cheerleaders cheering players every step of the way.

I just hope they have dynamic crowd attendance based on the teams record. And have the crowd react to the on court action be more authentic. Many times when a clutch rebound is made or steal, the crowd just remains quiet.

Re: Presentation

When you're losing, i hope to see someone in the crowd yell out, "LOSERRRRRRRRRR." OR when someone miss an easy layup..."SCRUBBBBBBBBB."

It would be cool to see the scoreboard icon mimic the look of the 90's NBC and then 80's CBS styles in the Jordan Challenge.

Yea...wouldn't it be cool if they have totally different scoreboard and overlay for the Jordan Classics? And sort of mimicking NBA on NBC feel.

Would be cool, kinda like a wrestling game did that came out a year before or so. When you chose 80's wrestlers it had 80's TV graphics and overlays.

From the promo shots we've seen thus far, it doesn't look like the scoreboard will change for the 80's and 90's games.

Re: Presentation

It doesn't have to be a straight lift from NBC. You can't argue that there wasn't a specific style to the 80's and then 90's overlays and scoreboard. As long as it captures the essence of that, the Jordan Challenge will all that more immersive. Seeing that ultra slick 2K scoreboard over an 86-87 game will be slightly awkward.

Re: Presentation

Honestly, one of the weakest parts of the presentation that breaks me out of the feeling that I'm watching a real game is when they show the coaches. Please 2K put more work into them. How can they have the players looking photorealistic, but when they pan to the coaches they look like a Chinese knockoff of Walt Disney World's animatronic Hall of the the Presidents? They're simply plain creepy. This is one area where Live completely destroyed 2K.

Don't make the young Phil Jackson look like a zombie wax figure.

If anything, it would only LOOK like NBA on NBC, not actually have any of the logos or music. 2K doesn't have the rights to it.

I hope that, at least, they try to make it feel like an 80's or 90's broadcast, at least with the overlays.
