    Re: NBA 2K12 Cover Athletes - Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird

    Those are some really ugly covers. The background's red on all of them, and they decided to make them look like comic book characters for some reason.

      It says the Magic and Larry will be in limited quantity....since the price tag isn't that high on the PC, I'm going to try and snag both.

        Don't see how anyone can complain about the choice of these three.

                Covers are ok...I am not interested at all in historic teams, players, modes in the actual game though. I never use them, so hopefully it is not a main selling point as it was last year...

                  Did that stop your enjoyment of last year's game?

                  Why do these gamers today have a problem with 2K using three of the greatest NBA players of all time on the cover of their game? Players who saved the NBA when the league was dying (Magic and Bird) and made it the global juggernaut it is today (Jordan).

                    I love the design of the cover. Very nicely done. I would have went with the following:

                    Michael Jordan: Because he is a LEGEND
                    Kobe Bryant: Because he is a SUPERSTAR soon to be Legend.
                    Lebron James: CONTROVERSY. Many hate him and many Love him. I think more hate him.

                      "These gamers today" may not have watched Jordan, Magic, or Bird play a single game in their lives. Even D-Rose said he never saw Jordan play and that Kobe was his Jordan as a kid. I hear my little kid neighbors outside play basketball and shoot the ball saying "Kobe", not historic players they've never seen.

                      I'm 29 and have never seen Wilt, Bill Russell, Oscar, Dr. J, etc., so I wouldn't be excited if any of them were on the cover of 2K12.

                        I never saw Wilt, Russell or Oscar play (saw the end of Dr. J's career), but I wouldn't be dismissive of them if 2K or any other company decided to feature them in their games or on their covers.

                        Respect what came before you. If it weren't for them, there would be no Bird, Magic or Jordan. And that means no Kobe, Wade, Lebron or Rose.

                          Respecting them doesn't include having to be excited about them being on the cover.

                            I think you'd be hard pressed to argue that the classic elements of 2k11 didn't have a good deal to do with its sales.

                              No need to keep complaining about it, though.

                                I bought 2K11 for today's NBA. The classic teams were a huge added bonus, especially MJ. I don't speak for anyone else's reason for buying 2K11, but I imagine you're right. A few people I know skipped 2K since the last gen, but picked up this last one 'cause of MJ.
