I think it would be a good idea for EA to make a cover with jordan on it--not the new, but the old jordan. He doesn't have to be in the game, but I think it would be a must to commemorate such a legend.
It looks cool, but doesn't fit in with the covers that EA makes, since all the EA sports series use the same design... just different players
(ie. Madden, Triple Play, Rugby, NBA, Cricket etc)
this can be made to look like the ea sports design. remove carter and make the background white and add the nba live logo somewhere like on the right of jordan's knees or something
