Having great game play..

Not really. The reality of having Jordan on the cover pushes the game levels above any competition. This is speaking purely in terms of marketing. You have two mainstream games, Elite and 2K. One is boasting new game mechanics with no history but what was Live. The other has the popularity of 2K Basketball and then Jordan on the cover.

Think about the first trailer for NBA 2K11 and the hype it will create. Again, this is just from a marketing standpoint, but 2K Basketball is already proven. It's a solid game and consumers know that. I happened to enjoy the last two years of Live, but when you consider the games past struggles to compete with 2K, changing the name to Elite and claiming a new game engine is going to offer very little in comparison to MJ.

This right here really does not even qualify for breaking news...We heard that before...

Jordan cares about signature shots. My dude!

2k cares about details, and so does MJ. Perfect match!

Re: NBA 2K11 Cover Athlete Michael Jordan, Confirmed

Love the choice, it goes without saying that some sales will be affected because of Jordan. Better question, who do you choose for the cover for NBA2k12?

No, that's not a better question.

Re: NBA 2K11 Cover Athlete Michael Jordan, Confirmed

Think that last time I bought an NBA 2K game was 2K7. Sounds like I might be getting it this year.

Re: NBA 2K11 Cover Athlete Michael Jordan, Confirmed

It looks like the rumors were true. Michael Jordan is your cover athlete for NBA 2K11.

I haven't really paid any attention to next years game.....

But is that the actual player model for NBA 2K11 and if so is this game going to have Classic teams next year since Jordan is gracing the cover?

Sorry if this has been asked before I didn't read all of the tread.

That picture looks amazing by the way if that is the actual player in the game

Re: NBA 2K11 Cover Athlete Michael Jordan, Confirmed

I can see the commercial now. Jordan is at a press conference announcing he coming out of retirement. A reporter asks him, "Do you think you've still got the skills?" Jordan replies "Yeah, I still got it. And I've been practicing against the best". Then the screen behind him shows clips of the virtual Jordan, playing against Kobe, LeBron, D. Wade, Durant, and Melo. And then Jordan says "I'm a free agent, who want to sign me?"

Then they could announce, preorder 2K11 and get a Jordan Shoe code. Unlocking every pair of Jordans.

That would be sweet.

It's probably 2K10 or 2K9. That's one of Matt's great videos. It's photoshoped here and there as well. it's not a 2K11 image.

Re: NBA 2K11 Cover Athlete Michael Jordan, Confirmed

Well for me this is a "WOW" moment since he had been absent from video game b-ball with the exception of a few games. Other then that I always am curious as to who / why they put XXXX player on a cover but for me this is diffrent.



I totally agree, I was lucky enough to get to see him live four times, two in Chicago; had a girlfriend who had family there so going there to see her family was a no brainer and twice here in Denver, sadly the second time here in Denver he played a quarter maybe a quarter and a half and then sat the rest of the game. They were blowing out the Nuggets.

Jordan on cover of NBA 2K11!!!!!! Wow just spewed in my pants!!!!

Seriously, only got to see him live once in Indiana early 90s and he probably had the worst game of his career, even missed a dunk
