      makes sense?

      honestly, will the MJ challenges stay in our memories?

        There were somethings(from a completely selfish prespective) I would have like to seen besides the Jordan mode(which I have never touched). For one suction was a huge problem for me, and the one mode I almost exclusively play MP was barely touched.

                Good points Quontrolz hopefully those issues will be adressed. But I think 2k stumbled onto something with laster year's inclusion of classic team. Alot of folks bought the game simply because of the nostalgia of playing with teams from their youth. Hopely they fully exploit all the possibilities this year.

                      Yes da throne because the game was good, but you'd be foolish to sit here and say the lack of MJ in the game didnt matter in terms of sales and marketing because you KNOW IT DID

                      Its no different now, and honestly its just a cover...they havent released any other info yet. Complaining about gameplay in a cover art thread is as useless as asking Eddie Curry to only eat salads

                        "Having Michael, having Magic, and having Larry Bird involved will tie to the game and to some of the features that we'll be unveiling in a couple of weeks, but that's all I can say right now."

                          I assumed as much, but I haven't read that quote before.

                          Personally, I love it! The Jordan mode and the classic teams were great last year, but there's so much that could've been done which I hope will be done in 2K12.

                          The gameplay in 2K11 was better than ever so they didn't compromise any gameplay features for having Jordan in the game.

                          I'm not complaining here, nor am I whining, but the Jordan cover has Jordan mirrored. His sweat band is on the the right arm instead of left, and his half-sleeve is on the wrong leg too
                          Doesn't matter to me but people will probably start complaining about that any minute now

                            Covers are most important for the people on the fence or the non-hardcore fans. These are the type of people that might be walking around Best Buy looking for the next great first person shooter game and catch a glimpse of Jordan on the cover of 2K and say "awesome, I might give this game a shot!".
                            i guess u're right

                            idk man i'm 31 now so i grew up with those players (more MJ than magic and bird tho) but i really dont feel nostalgic of that time.. i LOVE the nba of today (except lockouts, refs, and techs for nothing obviously)

                            i know this POV is mine and purely selfish but hey.. it's a forum

                                I understand where you're coming from. I think whenever a basketball video game has added a feature, that has always been the fear. When The Crib was added, people were afraid of what it meant for gameplay attention. When 24/7 Mode was added, people were afraid. When signature animations were added, some people were in fact afraid too much time would be spent perfecting those rather than improving general gameplay. Ditto My Player, Street Mode, and the Dunk Contest.

                                I suppose my point is it would be shortsighted to expect or assume a video game would only offer one mode (or only the modes one personally cares for) and then only concentrating on that specific mode. Regardless of what features are or are not added, I can say with certainty that there will be problems with NBA 2K12. Games will never be perfect. However, I don't think those problems will have anything to do with the art and research department adding more classic teams.

                                honestly, will the MJ challenges stay in our memories?
                                Not to sound like a punk, but I thought the Jordan Challenge was one of the coolest video game moments I've ever experienced in my life. I ate up every. Single. Second of it. And I'm a Pistons fan. That mode will stick in my mind for a long time.
