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

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.

Oh ok.....

That picture looked damn realistic to me. I was hoping that would be the player model in 2K11 for Jordan

Its a cover athlete announcement, please dont derail the thread about fixing gameplay in here, there are a ton of other threads.

I wasn't I was answering a question..

[idesign2]

Couldn't care less who's on the cover. Improve the game and I'll purchase day of release.

Jordan fanboys today are almost as annoying as Jordan fanboys back in the day! Never thought that would happen.

Re: NBA 2K11 Cover Athlete Michael Jordan, Confirmed

good news i guess.. my mind now turns to how he will be utilized? Will there be some true meat and potatoes to having him and others? street mode? other classic players? I guess its natural to take in this great news and begin to question.

this is definitely a big move

I personally hope this move leads to the game actually including about 10-12 classic teams.

or just a long list of classic players you can utilize.

You don't have to be a fanboy to appreciate the greatness that is Michael Jordan. The hands down best player to ever play the game of basketball.

Great for 2K to get Jordan on the cover and even better if he's in the game too.

[TreyIM2]

I don't see how this is any great news. I never get excited about who's on the cover of any sports game, to be honest. I'm always concerned about what's "in" the disc.
And even though MJ is my fave player of all time, IN ANY SPORT, it's still a whatever deal.Who's on the cover doesn't have anything to do with the actual game.

[Jessep07]

Yeszirrr. I better see like every pair of J's in there now. I hope the Infrareds and Space Jams are in there. Just imagine the sales of this game............Oh my goodness, this is going to be off the charts.

Space Jams are the best bball shoes, hands down. The need to bring back the XI's

with that comes, classic jerseys (with the length/bagginess issue), classic courts, potentially classic arenas, nba rule changes?

I mean you can really go all out in a respectable fashion or you can have him as a FA where he just jumps into any game mode you want him.

I dont want to sound negative, but VC can barely get the current nba right in regards to the jerseys, and courts, how the heck can they do that for a 12 team vintage league, unless they just reintroduce the 70s,80s,90s,00s all star west east teams and have him there with it all taking place at one "classic" arena.

The speculation is fun. i will give them that

Re: NBA 2K11 Cover Athlete Michael Jordan, Confirmed

Hoping for some classic teams like NFL 2K5 had. The Decade all-stars aren't enough.
Now the best basketball series on the market has the best player of all time on the cover. Nice to see MJ getting a cover.

Im interested in the marketing...

Re: NBA 2K11 Cover Athlete Michael Jordan, Confirmed

Unbelievable news... this is HUGE. I'd love if there were a way to quantify the amount of people that buy this game JUST to play as Jordan. As a life long Bulls fan it pained me to have to play with #99 in the Live series.... awesome stuff.
