    How the hell do i stop Michael Jordan?

    Playing with the Bad Boy Pistons..for the fourth time in a week. Lost all games to the bulls, close games.

    Last one was tied at 94 until Jordan hit the game winner on me, a fadeaway from the post, i was devastated.

    It seems as if, i can't stop him no matter what i do, he always score 40+ on me, no joke.

    Any tips on how to stop Jordan?

    Damnation! I was certainly going to say that

    But, in all seriousness. Deny him the ball (Play Off Ball if you have to). Deny. Deny. Deny. If he manages to get the ball anyway immedately double-team him. Once he has the ball in his hands bring a manual defender over and hit the double team button. Thus he is either forced to pass it, or he might break through anyway. If that's the case give him a free-lane, then either beat him there or switch over to the big man and stop his progress before he can attack the basket. You should force a contested shot.

    Double him in the post always, force him to shoot jumpers. If he's making those...I'm sorry...there's really nothing you can do aside from editing all of Jordan's attributes down to 25....

      As Craig Ehlo.

      Or maybe Bryan Russell.

      There's a reason he's considered the greatest basketball player of all time. If there were a technique, or way of "stopping" him, I'd consider the game broke.

      He's supposed to be difficult to stop. Embrace it.

            attack him on defense and hope to draw some fouls. If he is on the bench he can't hurt you

              Well guys, back from my game results. I tried, i honestly did but...i couldn't do it...

              The bulls won 114 - 109.

              Michael Jordan had 44 points..despite Thomas scoring 47..

              At least it was a good game. I'll try again when i redeem my morale

                          The same way you deal with every superstar in this game, realize that you're probably aren't going to stop them. What you can do though, is try to take away the best parts of their games. As for MJ, you have to try to limit him to a jumpshooter, and live and die by that. He will still be pretty effective, but it's far better than having him driving the lane attacking the basket.

                            I feel like I'm stating the obvious here, but I'll say it anyway.
                            MJ is going to score. Trying to figure out how to "stop" him is pointless.

                            In addition to the other strategies mentioned (make him a jump shooter, deny ball), have you thought of focusing more defensive effort on shutting down the rest of his team? If you take away weapons like John Paxon and Scottie Pippen, leaving Jordan to do EVERYTHING (like he did when he first came to the Bulls), you have a pretty good shot at winning.

                            Also, since you are playing with the Bad Boy Pistons, it makes me question if you are utlizing that team properly. They were one of the best teams at shutting down Jordan. I would highly recommend playing him one on one with Joe Dumars, and if he gets past him and gets to the paint, rotate over with Rodman or Laimbeer.

                              Slowing down, not shutting down. Big difference.

                              MJ had to work harder against Detroit than any other team, but he still lit them up. And Dumars didn't stop him, he was just the first line of defense. It helped that he had Laimbeer, Mahorn, Salley and Rodman waiting at the hoop to mug MJ when MJ blew past him. It most definitely was a team effort. A supreme one at that.
