Yep.

Very intelligently done.

Anyone watching the NBA game right now, noticed that the trophy is not on the court??

They should have waited..Made a trailer with 2k11 footage and just blown everyone out of the water with MJ footage.

Just my opinion of course..

Why show 2k10 footage and barely show the star of your game?

Agreed. That was a weird decision. But thats not new with 2k's marketing dept.

eh, better to get a commercial at the start of the Finals than nothing at all. Though I think at least mentioning Jordan being in 2K11 would've been a good idea, with the same jersey shot they're using on the website.

But they're justified showing 2K10 footage with the "This is what the rest of the league is doing right now", meaning they're sitting at home playing 2K10 instead of being in the Finals.

That Jordan was most likely just a CAP at this stage, so they couldn't show anymore of him.

I just believe as a consumer it is better not to jump the gun. Wait 2 weeks..Stun everyone at E3 with a great commercial starring MJ and NBA 2k11 footage.

I don't believe you need to show a commercial just because its the finals..Especially when you show off old footage. I just have a bad feeling that this will confuse a lot of people who saw it just because they showed footage..and it said NBA 2k11.

They need to call you to do the 2k11 commercial with MJ By the way! haha

90 percent of the gamers have no Freaking clue about the difference in graphics from year to year. They dont care either. Us internet posters are like in the 5-10 percent of the population, maybe even smaller.

Only us hardcore guys know the real difference and to marketing its not damaging. Go ask any casual gamer of any kind and they dont really care. Out of all my friends i am the only fairly hardcore gamer, and none of them even know the real differences until i go explain it to them.

Im just stumped as to why they didn't use the Jordan logo...That alone would have caused a stir to casuals who didn't hear the announcement.

Like I said, baffling when the oppertunity was staring right at them.
