Bought!

I hope that this means historical teams/ courts etc..

I hope so because it wouldn't be right. I want to be able to play as MJ, Pippen and the Bulls against the Bad Boys Pistons and catch hell and hard fouls. I want to be able to play against the Knicks and have scuffles in The Garden. I want to be able to play against the Lakers, Blazers and Suns for the 1st three-peat. I want to be able to win the 4th ring against Seattle on Father's Day and cry on the floor. I want to be able to play with the flu for ring 5 and hit The Last Shot for ring 6. (They better have all the Jordan shoes as well.) Plus all the other rivalries that brought heat and fights like the Pacers - Knicks, Knicks- Heat, and the rest.

No I just don't understand excitement over who's on the cover..

Usually people aren't excited, but, it's Michael Jordan. People have been wanting to play a 2K basketball game with the greatest of all time since NBA 2K3.

Plus, it's Michael Jordan

What's most important to me is that he's in the game. I hope we can use him in Association mode. I create myself as a CAP. What an honor it would be to play with the "real" Michael Jordon.

I really feel bad for this generation that did not get to see MJ play live. He was unlike any others. Simply amazing, Kobe, Lebron or Wade have nothing on him.

Well put my friend. I couldn't agree more.

Re: NBA 2K11 Cover Athlete Michael Jordan, Confirmed

looks like 2k got their man, but a cover athlete doesn't resolve game play.....it's all about SALES

of course it is and 2k kills sales every year, and now that Jordan is on the cover I bet they doubble there sales this year.

Re: NBA 2K11 Cover Athlete Michael Jordan, Confirmed

This was probably in the works before the name change of Elite came along but I think this goes above and beyond in being an answer to that.

The two games are competitive in nature, so that's there, but having Jordan is such a positive. It just cancels out anything else.

Michael Jordan....how do you even respond to that?

Re: NBA 2K11 Cover Athlete Michael Jordan, Confirmed

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. <!-- START 'inlineAds : default' FILE: /.element/ssi/story/1.0/news/.branding/default/inlineAds.html -->

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.
